☆ Blurb:

Jiuli, an ordinary college student.

The bad news: he transmigrated into a fantastical world with supernatural abilities, and even became a nonhuman.

The good news: he came with an older brother who was once an Overman and is now a Port Mafia executive, Verlaine, who is also fiercely protective of his little brother.

Jiuli joined the Port Mafia and adapted to this world with his brother's help. Then...

he fell in love with his brother.

This was a terrible idea, but Jiuli had no intention of changing his mind.

On the first day after making up his mind, Jiuli gave his brother Verlaine an important speech: Bro, I like you. Be my wife.

Verlaine: Mm-hmm, you like me.

On the second day, after being forced to train, Jiuli gave another important speech: Bro, I hate you so much.

Verlaine: Mm-hmm, you hate me.

On the third day, after training until his head throbbed, Jiuli tossed out a random declaration: Bro, just you wait. Once I become stronger than you, I will imprison you.

Verlaine: Mm-hmm, imprison me.

On the Nth day, Jiuli, who considered himself quite strong by then, prepared to avoid the Port Mafia and imprison Verlaine himself.

Then Verlaine chased him down with gravity and beat him until he was crawling all over the ground: Waaah, bro, I hate you!

Chuuya Nakahara, passing by: ...

Stop beating him. If you keep going, he is going to start wondering whether Jiuli is actually a devious McDonald's mascot.

As a transmigrator, Jiuli spent a great deal of effort researching how to return to his own world.

He succeeded.

So when Verlaine finally left the basement, this was what he saw.

His young kindred stood at the center of a storm. Beside him, the Book turned its pages on its own despite the lack of wind.

Then his kindred's body fell, his soul breaking through this world and returning to his true homeland.

All Verlaine was left with was a notebook containing countless calculated methods of departure.

In silence, Verlaine carried Jiuli's body away and left the Port Mafia.

Several months later.

Jiuli, who had studied under a martial arts master in his original world and used the pages of the Book to increase his supernatural ability a hundredfold, wrote a new line in the Book and returned.

Jiuli: Wahaha, thirty years east of the river and thirty years west! Bro, I am back to imprison you again!

Jiuli: Wait, correction. Which one of us is imprisoning whom?

Much later, Chuuya sought Jiuli out of his own accord.

The moment he saw Jiuli, he was deeply shocked and said he could stop Verlaine and take Jiuli away.

Jiuli: Chuuya, you understand me! A terrible family of origin leaves you damp for life...

Jiuli: But I, Jiuli, love being damp!

Chuuya: .

He should never have gotten involved with these two!

1. Jiuli, bottom, × Verlaine, top. This is a bottom-focused story! The bottom just likes to run his mouth!

2. For the avoidance of doubt, he is not a real brother. They are not related by blood at all, only connected by the kindred setting.
