Description:
He Jiayin transmigrated right in the middle of playing a TRPG (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) with his friends. He became Siles Noel, a professor of Literary History at Lafami University. At the same time, the city of Lafami was in an uproar over the jailbreak of an apostate…
…Wait a minute, isn’t this the story of the TRPG he was playing?
But he was the Game Master (Host), not a player?!
He Jiayin became the Keeper of this world.
A student’s exam paper unfolds before him: [Professor, please roll the dice to determine if this student passes.]
A colleague’s thesis is handed to him for review: [Professor, please roll the dice to determine if this paper makes it into the journal.]
The apostate is fleeing pursuit: [Professor, please roll the dice to determine if the church’s pursuers can spot him.]
A Beyonder is advancing in rank: [Professor, the dice are ready.]
A man is confessing his love to him: [Here are the dice.]
He Jiayin: “…”
[You have gazed upon a god.]
[You will undergo a Willpower check.]
[99/100]
[Pitiful you are destined for a Critical Failure.]
[…You cast an obsessed and fanatical gaze upon the god.]
[You shall become the god’s first follower. You will follow the great God of Time and Fate—the Keeper of the World, Siles Noel—and step into a brand new world together.]
[…By the way, you should confess your love first.]
——Left by the Keeper’s Dice.

Reading Guide:
- Main Character is the Top (Seme), Happy Ending. Aloof, taciturn, and stoic Top vs. Outwardly arrogant and flamboyant but inwardly submissive and obsessive Bottom (Uke). The Top is a God; the Bottom is a believer. Focus is on the plot; slow burn; the love interest appears relatively late.
- “Pao Tuan” (Tabletop Role-Playing Game/TRPG): A genre of game where dice determine the development of the game. Players possess character sheets, and the attributes on these sheets combined with dice values determine the outcome of checks/judgments. The Game Master (Host) is the storyteller and also the one who rolls the dice.
- Rules: Compared to real-life TRPGs, the rules in this text have been heavily simplified and modified. Please refer to the in-text settings for specifics; it does not point to any specific real-world TRPG. Please do not apply real-world TRPG rules to this novel.
