The myth system of Cthulhu was born out of modern literary works and was born in the 1920s and 1930s. It is not an ancient legend, but a dark myth full of evil and different styles, which is called the "modern horror myth system".
This series of settings is based on the world created by a series of short stories by American writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890- 1937), which was arranged and perfected by his good friend august wilhelm Dreyfus and created by many authors.

At present, the myth system of Cthulhu is a completely free and open collective creation system, but whether it is recognized or accepted is another matter, including but not limited to novels, poems, paintings, movies, music and games. This kind of creation is still endless, greatly expanding the coverage of the myth of Cthulhu.
Although Cthulhu is famous and the whole legend system is named after it, it is not the most powerful of the old rulers, nor is it the center of the story. Azathoth, the leader of the fiend, occupies the central position of this system, while Nyala Totip has more frequent contact with the human world. Moreover, compared with other former dominators, it prefers to deceive and seduce human beings.
