I Really Don't Want to Be the World Ender

Riel thought he was just playing a game—until reality started to fracture. As a cynical psychologist diving into Surreal, a hyper-realistic consciousness game, he awakens with terrifying mental powers: thought transmission, brainwashing, self-hypnosis. But this isn't entertainment—it's a trans-dimensional Cranial War where corporations, underground societies, and reality itself are weapons. Every level deeper reveals a darker truth about consciousness, identity, and existence. The Ship of Theseus sails toward oblivion, and Riel may be the one steering it to apocalypse.
