Isidora’s Theatre of Dolls [Reincarnated as a Painting in a World of Mysteries]
"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!
