[The premise hasn’t changed! I changed the title and added a section to flesh out the worldbuilding!]
Question: What’s it like to keep running into your nemesis in an infinite game?
Nan Xiaoye: Thanks for asking. I’m having a pretty good time.
1.
Nan Xiaoye was raised by relatives from childhood. He was withdrawn, kept to himself, and loved playing games most of all.
His relatives treated him badly, and his classmates at school didn’t want to talk to him either.
But Nan Xiaoye didn’t care. He liked staying in front of his computer.
As long as he could play games, that was enough.
Any game would do.
On his eighteenth birthday, his relatives kicked him out.
Rain poured down. He had no umbrella and was soaked through.
A passing cat dropped a strange admission letter at his feet.
[Welcome to First High School.]
[Here, you don’t need to take exams or study. All you need to do is play games.]
[You must play games to breathe! You must play games to eat!]
[You must play games to earn money! You must play games to gain status!]
[If you don’t play games, you will die! If you don’t play games, you will be erased from existence!]
[You were born for games! You will die for games!]
[Are you willing?]
Nan Xiaoye raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, this looks interesting."
2.
On his first day at First Middle School, Nan Xiaoye met Su Chi.
As soon as the game ended, the two became nemeses.
They dug pits for each other at school, stabbed each other in the back, and sabotaged one another. No matter what game they played, it turned into a battleground between the two of them.
One day, Su Chi drew an S-rank item.
[Congratulations, player Su Chi, on obtaining the S-rank item: Respawn Point.]
[After dying in an instance, you will have a chance to respawn. Please choose your respawn point now.]
Su Chi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Nan Xiaoye, sitting opposite him. "You just said seeing me would put you in a bad mood?"
[Please make your choice within ten seconds.]
Su Chi curled his lips, his tone full of amusement. "I choose... his side."
Nan Xiaoye: …
.
Later.
When Su Chi respawned beside Nan Xiaoye for the NNNth time,
Nan Xiaoye scoffed. "How can someone with your ranking die twenty-two times?"
"Mm." Su Chi put an arm around Nan Xiaoye’s back, his voice low. "Baby, I missed you."
Reader’s guide:
1. A game-based battle of wits. The author is seriously chuuni.
2. Chaos and mayhem, enemies who fall in love at first, then become devoted lovers. A romance disguised as an infinite-flow story with a secret identity, and the whole thing is made up as it goes.
3. Saved on 2019.5.17. Please don’t borrow or plagiarize.

Theme: Life calls for effort and ambition. Keep looking ahead, don’t look back, learn to grow, enjoy growing, and have the courage in your youth to pursue everything you cherish and love.
