Witch, I’m really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

The day the colossal whale exhaled and blew apart the mists, the world shifted—ushering in the dawn of a new era.

Chen Qi found himself reborn inside New Sun, a grim steampunk apocalypse survival game. Bound to the rare ability “Affinity with the Abyss,” he caught the attention of terrifying, ancient beings lurking in the ocean’s depths—creatures who no longer saw him as human, but as kin.

Despite harboring the terrifying gifts of a deep-sea entity, Chen Qi never lost his human heart. With grit and tenacity, he set his sights on becoming the greatest Hunter the world had ever known—facing eldritch horrors and nightmarish monstrosities with blades drawn and convictions firm.

Eventually, the widely read Dove Times published a scathing headline:

“A deep-sea abomination posing as human—tentacled tyrant of the Witch Sea! A manipulative fiend with royal ambitions and sinister ties to the Fifth Dynasty’s fall!”

Pure slander!

Yes, he had tentacles. Yes, he intimidated witches, raised abyssal beasts, demanded tolls from maritime kingdoms, and sang doomsday chants with sea serpents.

But none of that meant he was some eldritch godspawn.

Chen Qi, standing atop the wreckage of a naval fleet he just obliterated, calmly corrected the narrative:

“I’m just a man… doing my job as a Hunter.”
