Ethan opened the system immediately.
A cold sweep of scanning light flickered across his eyes. The data panel unfolded in an instant, lines of information assembling piece by piece—until Ethan's already tense brow sank even further.
This thing was a Puppet General.
The system's feedback organized itself quickly. A Puppet General was a Crimson Ultimate hero unique to this world. From the moment they were born, they began hunting for "puppets," then lodging themselves inside the host to siphon their energy. When needed, they could take control of the puppet's body and fight through it—while the person being controlled felt absolutely nothing the entire time.
The only time the host truly felt anything…
…was the moment they died.
Ethan's breathing quickened.
