Master of the Karmic River

A brilliant but emotionally detached strategist is thrust into a brutal multiverse of death games, where each trial is a twisted realm born from human folklore and fear. To survive, he must rely on his greatest asset and darkest curse: a second, perfectly rational personality that grants him unparalleled intellect at the cost of his own humanity. In this merciless crucible, power demands sacrifice—trading memories, emotions, or even your soul for strength. Forging a band of loyal comrades who become his only anchor, he battles not only grotesque monsters and cunning rivals but also the encroaching emptiness within. From a mere survivor to a master schemer, he will challenge the very foundations of his prison, fighting to reclaim his humanity and seize control of his own destiny.
