The Chosen One Quits [Infinite]

(This is my first attempt at writing a story, so please read with caution. Check out my other completed stories, ongoing stories, and upcoming projects on my author page, mwah~)

Ji Xun was sick.

His symptoms were bizarre and varied, as if his body were trying to compile an anthology of rare diseases.

Unable to accept that all he could do was wait to die, Ji Xun went out drinking.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in an unfamiliar place, with a man lying beside him.

Ji Xun: "Sorry, who are you? Where am I?"

The man smiled. "Jing Chi, your partner."

"As for where we are..."

"...It's a dream belonging to a god."

Ji Xun: "...?"

It felt like he'd been dragged into some weird religious group. If I say I have no money, no family, and no friends, will you let me go? I'm kind of in a hurry...

Later, Ji Xun learned that these special dreams were rifts created when a god's power became unstable. They were also the only way to approach a god and take the god's place. If you died in a dream, your consciousness in the real world would disappear.

As he completed his missions, Ji Xun also discovered the true cause of his illness:

He had become the god's favorite child.

And Jing Chi was the person the god hated most.

After returning to reality, Ji Xun looked at the elite sitting upright on his shabby little sofa, then at the interview with Jing Chi in the magazine in his hands, and thought about his own life of poverty and serious illness. Slowly, he typed a question mark.

As the god's chosen child, Ji Xun received extra hints in every dream. The problem was...

"Hide-and-seek at dusk"

"Abandoned Platform 13"

"Remember+who+you+are."

Ji Xun: Thanks for asking. Is it too late to go back to the hospital and wait around for death?

[I'm starting to build up a stock of chapters. Launching August 12~]

[Mixed-race sweetheart, amateur counselor bottom x seemingly obedient, poor, sly, flirtatious high school top]

Ye Jue was assigned to intern at a high school, where he would write research reports and work part-time as a counselor.

On his first day, he walked right into a serious incident of campus violence.

Ye Jue, a mixed-race sweetheart mistaken for an international student, calmly watched the commotion for a while. Then, to everyone's surprise, he pulled out his work ID, bundled up both groups of fighters, and sent them to the academic affairs office. He even rescued one of the victims along the way.

After getting to know the suspected victim, Ye Jue learned that:

He came from a poor family, his divorced parents weren't around, his rebellious younger sister only ever asked him for money, and he was ostracized for having a bad personality and poor grades.

Looking at Pei Yanqiu's beautiful face and dejected expression,

Ye Jue couldn't bear to leave him like that. "I have to help him!"

Once they got closer, the younger boy turned out to be the clingy, cutesy type. Ye Jue was a complete pushover for that sort of thing and indulged him in almost everything.

They made a deal: if Pei Yanqiu got into Ye Jue's university, he could make one wish.

After the internship ended, Ye Jue secretly came back to surprise the kid. By chance, he spotted the exam rankings at the school gate, with Pei Yanqiu's name glaringly displayed at the top.

Ye Jue: ???

Right afterward, he saw the confident young Pei emerge surrounded by a crowd and get straight into a luxury car.

His "poor family" turned out to be the Pei Group. His "absent" mother was actually a double-award-winning movie queen. The lead musician in an orchestra was his "rebellious younger sister"...

Ye Jue looked over the information, then at the message he'd just received, and fell into deep thought.

[Little Pei: Good evening, big brother. I just finished work. I'm exhausted and hungry, and I miss you so much.

+++++++++++I did much better on this exam. Can you give me a little encouragement? QWQ]

Ye Jue: ...I was absolutely terrified.

*

After realizing his cover had been blown, Pei Yanqiu took his admission letter and went to find Ye Jue.

He smiled as he pulled the other man into his arms, no longer acting pitiful, and leaned down to whisper in Ye Jue's ear:

"Teacher Ye, it's time for you to grant my wish."

[For another story of the same type, "After Clearing the Game, I Was Reborn as an NPC [Infinite]," check out the author's page~ Here's the blurb:]

They say that if you play a game with the devil and survive, your wish will come true.

Bai Yi was a player who successfully cleared the game, but he couldn't remember what wish had been granted.

After leaving the game, he lived a comfortable and prosperous life, so he didn't give it much thought.

Then one day, Bai Yi died unexpectedly. When he woke up, he found himself reborn at the start of the first instance.

Bai Yi: ? That shouldn't happen.

With no choice, Bai Yi had to start over. He cleared countless instances in a flash by repeatedly predicting everyone's predictions.

He should have had his wish granted and returned to reality, but the System malfunctioned.

Game System: [Since a player's wish is connected to you, you can't leave just yet, dear.]

Before he could even curse, Bai Yi was transported to the next instance, where his role had changed to an NPC.

The fewer players who cleared each game, the greater the rewards Bai Yi could receive.

The merciless NPC Bai Yi arrived at the players' gathering place with a cold expression. But before he could announce the rules, he spotted a familiar, beautiful face in the crowd.

The other man froze when he saw Bai Yi, then broke into a brilliant smile and waved at him like a spoiled child.

"Hi! Wifey! You came back to life so fast. Can you get your wish granted ahead of time? I haven't even started clearing the game yet!"

Bai Yi: ...???

Oh, his idiot situationship had come in to bring him back to life.

With no choice, Bai Yi shielded Xia Yuci, who looked harmless enough, behind him and said coldly, "Don't die."

Xia Yuci, who was more than half a head taller than him, sweetly answered, "Okay!"

When Bai Yi couldn't see him, Xia Yuci raised an eyebrow at the terrified monsters and gestured for them to be quiet.

"Shh. Don't scare my darling."
