Jiang Lian, an outstanding student at Hengzhou University, is passionate about all kinds of horror games, escape rooms, paranormal novels, and thriller movies.
In his sophomore year, his boyfriend got into graduate school, then dumped his beloved without warning and cut ties with him.
He angrily went to confront his ex, swearing he'd chase him to the ends of the earth. But he discovered that nobody remembered him having an ex who had started a relationship and then abandoned him.
Jiang Lian: ?
Is this karma for being a jerk?
Later, he found himself in the world of an infinite game. Endless wails and screams rang in his ears. Before him lay a world devastated by death and crawling with monsters. His companions' warm blood splattered across his face, and the killing never stopped.
Jiang Lian: ...
He didn't mean he wanted to chase him to an "end of the earth" like this...
Help.
The number one player on the infinite game's power rankings is handsome, cold, and ruthless, with a mysterious past no one knows about. Countless people vie for his favor, yet none can stand beside him in the end.
Until, during a co-op level, a rising rookie and the renowned number one player cross paths.
In front of everyone, the newcomer smiles warmly, ever the picture of courtesy.
He slowly rolls up his sleeves and pulls a long sword dripping with blood from the ground.
The newcomer says, "Run along, ex-boyfriend. You know what happens when I catch up with you."
At the sound of his voice, the usually cold and expressionless number one player flinches. "I was wrong" slips out before he can stop it, and the next moment, he turns and runs.
1. Infinite-flow story. A strong couple in a locked 1v1 relationship. No breaking them up, no switching their roles. These two lovebirds are the best.
2. The pursuer isn't really a jerk. There's no emotional rift between them. The supposed hunt is just talk and part of their fun (serious face). It's all the infinite game's fault.
3. The infinite game in the story may differ from the style suggested by the blurb. Only some levels are mystery-puzzle games, and it's hard to say whether the levels will be scary.
[Reader Advisory]: Both main characters start out as ordinary people and grow into powerful players. They aren't perfect, and they have flaws. Anyone in the game, including both leads, may experience mental breakdowns, minor or serious injuries, or near-death situations. Supporting characters may die or become inhuman, whether good or bad. The story includes a game System, a lobby, and a central city. The pursuer has relatively little screen time early on, but he isn't just a background character. The relationship is one of teamwork, mutual rescue, and being indispensable to each other. Their love is exclusive and irreplaceable. Complex tastes and no taboos. Please be respectful if this isn't for you. Discuss rationally, keep the peace. It's everyone's responsibility.
