In his tenth year in the game, Ji Zeyi, a player ranked among the top three, ran into problems with his talent ability. Forced out of his comfort zone in the Northern Realm, he headed to the Southern Realm to tackle dungeons.
In his first A-rank dungeon in the South, Ji Zeyi met a newcomer who had just entered the game.
The newcomer was quick-witted and nimble, with striking black-and-white almond eyes. When he smiled, pretty dimples and sharp canines showed, reminding Ji Zeyi of the one he had loved and lost in a dungeon ten years ago.
A-rank dungeons in the South were notoriously difficult, and survival was tough for newcomers. Ji Zeyi was usually a lone wolf who paid little attention to anyone else, but for the first time, he felt like taking this newcomer under his wing.
He was wrong.
Ji Xiao wasn't a newcomer. He was the Southern Realm's administrator, a little devil with an innocent-looking face who deceived the world and had a wicked personality.
After Ji Zeyi was thoroughly played for a fool in the dungeon, he couldn't let it go. During the final stage, while the monster NPCs were unable to move, he cornered Ji Xiao and gave him a hard time, reducing the arrogant, high-and-mighty administrator to red eyes and trembling legs.
Ji Zeyi got quite a bit out of it, but in the very next dungeon, the administrator took ruthless revenge and targeted him at every turn.
Then came the third, fourth, fifth dungeons...
Ji Zeyi was at a loss. Didn't this administrator have anything better to do? Why was he still trying to kill him?
At last, in another dungeon, Ji Zeyi got his chance again. He swore to pay back all the grievances he'd suffered in one go.
Pinned beneath him, Ji Xiao felt teeth graze his neck, and his eyes began to grow hazy. Reluctantly, he thought, If this guy is willing to be an obedient dog, I suppose I could spare his life.
Just then, he heard the man above him call out the name of the one he had loved and lost.
The proud administrator instantly burned with rage. How dare this man treat him like a substitute?
A lone-wolf player with the highest combat power but a malfunctioning ability, gong x a wicked-tempered, spiteful little-devil administrator, shou
Ji Zeyi x Ji Xiao
Note: The person Ji Xiao is a substitute for is the same person. After the shou died, he became the administrator.
