"Two minds. One body. A world of enemies." Trapped in a prison of paint, a man who lost everything, even his name, awakens as the girl in the portrait: Isidora. His only roommate? Isa, a whimsical mind who treats their predicament like a fantastic game. But this game is deadly. An old mystic seeks to claim their heart. A fanatical cult hunts their anomalous souls. Mad gods lurk in shadow, while cosmic dread tries to devour them whole. As a crippling form, the reluctant Isidora must rely on Isa's reckless fervor to stay sane, while avoiding becoming a doll in their control. One brings caution. One brings chaos. To outwit gods and grow stronger, they can only adhere to one principle: Survival means staying hidden. And to stay hidden? No one will know if there is nobody left to know! ---What to expect--- - A mystery, dark fantasy, psychological with slice-of-life and comedy. - MC is a painting. non-human MC with two minds sharing the same body: a smart, cautious mind and a cute, whimsical mind. - MC with Multiple bodies. - Slow progression story with a lot of mysteries. MC will grow stronger through each ordeal she faces. - Power system: Each path and faction has different abilities. Weak to Strong MC. - Horror + SCP. - This story will be brutal. ----Author note---- Konakiri, this was my first novel! Congratulations to me, yay!
