Boundary-Crossing Player [Quick Transmigration]

Question: What does it feel like to work so much overtime that you drop dead?

Anyone who's often worked themselves to death knows that after you die suddenly, you don't necessarily get to rest in peace. A System might capture your soul and toss you into a new world.

Xiao Sa: ...No, wait, you still make me work 996 after I die? That's ridiculous.

The System tells him he has to clear five minor worlds and change the ending from "the protagonist dies, everyone gets a bad ending" to earn a chance at being reborn.

Xiao Sa: Can I refuse?

System: No.

World One: After faking his death, his nemesis won't leave him alone (Complete)

When Xiao Sa arrives in the first world, he runs into a conflict between the immortals and demons. Not only can he not escape, he's caught by a "Lin Daiyu" strong enough to uproot a weeping willow.

System: [He is the protagonist of this world.]

Xiao Sa steels himself and talks to "Lin Daiyu": May I ask who you are...?

"Lin Daiyu" sneers: You've forgotten even that? The Demon Lord of the Three Realms, Ping Tian Jun, really does have a terrible memory.

Xiao Sa, internally: Oh, great. Stepped right on a landmine.

Xiao Sa, looking at his phone like a baffled old man on the subway: Wait, what? Are you saying that I, a modern, well-rounded young man, have turned into the villainous BOSS of a world of gods and demons?

Xiao Sa soon learns that he once made a pact with this divine official, Lin Yao: when the Celestial Realm sent its forces to hunt down the Demon Lord, Lin Yao would help Xiao Sa fake his death and escape using a body-replacement technique. After being reborn, Xiao Sa would have to lift Lin Yao's curse of immortality and personally send him into oblivion.

The next moment, the System reminds him that the rules of life and death in every world are the same as in the original. If Lin Yao is hurt, Xiao Sa will be killed off immediately too.

Xiao Sa is furious: Everyone else's rebirth stories come with golden fingers that let them instantly dominate the world. How come my rebirth story gives me nothing and still threatens me with death?!

World Two: The Carefree Playboy and the Pretty Alliance Leader

As soon as he enters the second world, Xiao Sa is thrown onto a brothel bed in disarray. Then he sees who's tied up beside him and asks: How old are you?

Xiao Sa is forced into the cliché scene of a hero saving a beauty. Later, he learns that Lin Yao has gotten into trouble, lost all his martial arts, and is being hunted by the entire martial world. Even the imperial court is keeping a close eye on the matter.

And when Xiao Sa looks over his mission, his vision goes black again and again: Not only does he have to sneak into the imperial mausoleum and pull a heist under intense pressure, he also has to make the wanted Lin Yao the leader of the martial world!

Xiao Sa: I don't dare open my eyes. I hope this is just a hallucination.

Lin Yao: Being hunted is the consequence of my own actions. I have no complaints, but I won't let anyone else be dragged into this because of me.

Xiao Sa: I'll go crazy for the alliance leader, I'll go wild for the alliance leader, I'll bang my head against the wall for the alliance leader... I want to be the alliance leader's wife!

World Three: After fighting the sect master's disciple for three hundred rounds, he marries the sect master

As soon as he lands, the System tells Xiao Sa he has to spend ten years in this xianxia world.

Xiao Sa: Ten years? Are you kidding me? I want to file a complaint! I want to file a complaint!!!

That's not all. Xiao Sa learns in advance that the powerful villainous male lead will arrange to have him assassinated once he comes of age, and will also imprison his own master, Lin Yao. Unable to bear the humiliation, Lin Yao will take his own life. The villainous male lead will offend a host of powerful figures trying to resurrect his master, ultimately achieving the "everyone gets a bad ending" feat.

Xiao Sa complains: Yandere male leads are so out of fashion!

System: [Stay calm, Host. Staying alive comes first, second, and third. As long as you make it through ten years, the mission counts as a success!]

Xiao Sa reassures himself: It's fine, it's fine. The male lead hasn't joined the sect master's school yet. I'll send him off to another sect while I still can and nip the seeds of evil in the bud!

Lin Yao: This child seems promising. His background is tragic, but he's strong-willed. Let's take him in.

Xiao Sa is furious: I want to beat that brat into mush!

Transmigrator vs. reborn man: who will come out on top?

World Four: What does it feel like to drag the aloof flower down from his pedestal?

When Xiao Sa opens his eyes, he finds himself a prisoner of the Holy City's Saint.

Xiao Sa doesn't feel humiliated. He's actually enjoying himself: He's the protagonist, after all. The other guy can play whatever games he wants. Becoming a magical boy who saves the world isn't out of the question.

But reality gives him a harsh beating: the System warns him that he must solve the spreading gray toxin across the continent before the deadline, saving both the Holy City of Magic and the Mechanical City. Otherwise, the world line will reset and everything will start over.

Time is short. If he fails, he'll be trapped in an endless loop. There is no limit to the number of loops, and they will continue until the mission is complete.

Lin Yao: As the Holy City's guardian, my lifelong duty is to ensure its absolute safety. To that end, I will stop at nothing and use every necessary means to completely eliminate any malicious intruder who seeks to destabilize the city.

Xiao Sa: Your Highness the Saint, I'm not here to threaten the Holy City's safety. I'm here to threaten yours.

World Five: I want to court my senior by getting above my station

The nationwide JC League, held for the full-dive virtual reality esports game Between the Jumps, has taken the country by storm.

But Xiao Sa loses the final as soon as he arrives. As captain of the Gale Team, he is vilified by fans after the match.

His old rival, Lin Yao, leads the Azure Team to a third consecutive championship, becoming this season's MVP and winning both fame and fortune.

Xiao Sa is still wondering: Between the Jumps? Isn't that the game my company developed? How did I become a pro player?

Reporter: Captain Xiao, what would you like to say to your fans about losing this final?

Fans: Give us our money back, damn it!

Xiao Sa, internally: ...You might not believe this, but I used to be the owner of this game.

Xiao Sa coughs twice and puts on a serious face: We'll fight again next year!

Before Xiao Sa can rally and prepare for the next season, the Gale and Azure teams suddenly receive invitations to the World Championships. According to the rules, this season's champion and runner-up will lead their respective teams to Huasheng Mansion in the United States for the competition.

System: [Main mission: Win the World Championship.]

Xiao Sa types out a question mark: You think you can win the championship just because you want to?

Absurd, crazy, shamelessly flirtatious, and confident top x extraordinarily patient, calculating, sharp-tongued bottom

1v1, HE, neither lead is a split version of someone else; they are the same person throughout.
