The Authority of Lies

The greatest lie is the one you tell yourself. Kang Moo-hyuk was a genius scammer, a man of a thousand faces. But his final act didn't end with applause, it ended with death. When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't in hell. He was in Aetheria, a fog covered capital of steam engines, eldritch horrors, and silent gods. But he didn't wake up in a warm bed. He woke up slumped over a mahogany desk with a cold dagger buried five inches into his spine. He has transmigrated into the body of Arthur Ravencroft, the world's most famous consulting detective. The problem? Arthur was just murdered. And the killer is still in the building. With a knife in his back and police banging on the door, Moo-hyuk awakens a strange power: [The Authority of Lies]. It has one simple rule: If you can make the world believe your lie, it becomes the truth. To survive, he must act. He must become the Detective who solves impossible crimes. He must become the Crime Lord who rules the shadows. He must become the Prophet who deceives the Gods. "They say the truth will set you free? I say a well crafted lie rules the world."
