I Opened a Law Firm in an Infinite Escape Game

[Please add my upcoming novels, After a Mermaid Finds the Sea God and After Binding the Adoring Wife System, to your reading list, please~] Guan Mian was among the first players to reach the top during the closed beta of Tower of Babel. A capricious white demon, both good and evil, he loathed one particular newbie player more than anyone else. A poem on the forums read: [The vase-like newbie has no future; stick to the rules and you'll surely fail.] [Poor dry bones, nobody asks after them; must be a lonely soul at the bottom of the pit.] The players who had entered the game alongside those two fell silent. They'd seen the White Demon cater to the other player at every turn, secretly slip items into his bag, guard him through one long night after another, and kiss him reverently while he slept. Chi Jing never browsed the player forums. Much later, he came across someone's masterpiece of a poem and asked, with one foot on the writer's shoulder, "Guan Mian, who are you calling lonely?" The next day, on the player forums: [Apology: I promise to use civilized language in the game, help others within my abilities, mend my ways, and become a better person. Also, my law firm is open for business. I look forward to working with you., Guan Mian] The forums exploded. Had a big shot's account been stolen? Had he developed a split personality? You could open a law firm in a survival game? Then a certain bandit guild was wiped out, the "Butcher" on the rankings logged off in disgrace, and the 996 Guild returned the items it had seized... Maybe... he really had opened one? tips: 1. Guan Mian 1 x Chi Jing 0. A powerful, henpecked seme who struts around outside but cries on his knees at home x a cool, beautiful lawyer uke. 2. Somewhat of a leveling-up story. The uke really is a newbie at first. 3. The seme isn't just a pretty-face lover and a simp. That will be explained gradually. 4. Read if you like it, no pressure. Suggestions are welcome; let's communicate rationally. I hope everyone finds something they enjoy on Jinjiang! [Upcoming novel 1: After Binding the Adoring Wife System, Sentinel/Guide] The Alliance's number-one God of War, Duan Yi, retires after being injured. His career-change assessment reads: Patient is irritable and suspicious, lacks basic empathy, and exhibits aggressive tendencies. Inpatient observation recommended. The general waves a hand: Send him to be an instructor. Let him whip those brats into shape. The nervous cadets imagine Instructor Duan as: Cold and ruthless, with countless kills. The real Instructor Duan: "Move it! Professor Ji is getting out of class soon. I'm taking him lunch today. If I'm late because of you, you'll all do three sets of a hundred!" The cadets: ? God of War, your character has collapsed. Duan Yi looks at the Adoring Wife System that has somehow bound itself to him. With a heavy heart, he snuffs out the cigarette his adoring wife shouldn't be smoking. Ji Feiyan is a specially appointed professor and dean of student discipline. Humble and courteous, restrained and aloof. The very image of abstinence, a perfect example of the unattainable beauty on the mountain peak. Everyone says Ji Feiyan is masterful at managing his husband. Only Ji Feiyan knows the truth. He has to eat awful food and accept life-threatening gifts, carry the child of that bastard, and humor his lunatic tendencies. He doesn't want to be an independent guide in the modern age anymore. He wants a chauvinistic sentinel he can live off. Ji Feiyan: Don't ask. I want so badly to escape, but I can't. 1. Sentinel/guide setting. If you're unfamiliar, you can think of sentinels as alphas and guides as omegas for now. The details will be explained in the story. 2. A God of War whose character has fallen apart and who is forced to become an adoring-wife sentinel seme x a beautiful scholar uke who only pretends to be an unattainable beauty. 3. Includes pregnancy and childbirth. The story doesn't take place entirely on campus, so it's not a pure school story. [Upcoming novel 2: After a Mermaid Finds the Sea God] Gao Ning is a marine conservationist. His daily tasks include: Testing water quality, tracking several little white whales they previously released into the ocean, and going tide-pooling. How other people test and track: inspect the equipment and read the data. How Gao Ning tests and tracks: jump into the sea and turn into a mermaid. One day, while diving to check on how the little white whales were growing, Gao Ning found a tiny sea turtle on the verge of death. After recovering from its injuries, the little sea turtle disappeared without a trace. Gao Ning began to notice that the entire ocean was at his beck and call. As an inferior mermaid cast out by his own kind, he felt for the first time what it meant to be loved by the ocean. Later, Gao Ning discovered that the little Sea God, reincarnated as a sea turtle in this life, was incredibly hard to look after. The Sea God was much too slow to react. On the first day Gao Ning confessed, the Sea God didn't react, and Gao Ning was heartbroken. On the third day, the Sea God finally posted an anonymous question to the ocean's many inhabitants: "Wah, what should I do if a mermaid confesses to me?" On the nth day after the confession, the Sea God said, "I accept." Gao Ning, who had confessed: ?
