Question: What does it feel like to find out after work that you've suddenly been married, and your spouse is your sworn enemy?
Victim Feng Linyuan: Alive, but dead inside. Don't @ me.
To avoid facing the awkwardness of being married to his sworn enemy, Feng Linyuan didn't think twice before choosing to work overtime.
But when he woke up, he found himself inside the game Universe, using his sworn enemy's alt account.
Feng Linyuan: ... :)
Universe is a high-freedom full-dive game designed by the military using a decommissioned virtual universe to help fund its budget.
It drew attention from every walk of life as soon as it launched, and skilled players of every kind appeared in droves.
However, because the game was so realistic and players were constantly subjected to all manner of bizarre boss abilities, tanks, or Ts, who were responsible for taking hits, became the rarest player class in Universe.
To keep himself from getting bored with life in the game, Feng Linyuan unleashed the fierce, alpha-DK aura he'd had back when he was a gaming addict. He tore through a game where players joked that it was the "Tankless Universe."
Then... on his very first dungeon run, he accidentally claimed the first kill in a healerless dungeon, triggering a special mode that had never been unlocked in the entire year since Universe launched.
Players: That's not fair. Not fair at all.
As he claimed the first kills in one server-wide event after another, and cleared one special challenge after another with no healers, or even no DPS, the players finally couldn't take it anymore.
Player 1: Wait, what? You're a DK who's about to get kicked out of the tank role, and you're this tough? How is that right?
Player 2: You're a tank, but your damage is higher than a DPS's. How is that reasonable?
Player 3: Are we even playing the same DK? Why are you as hard to kill as a cockroach, while I die the moment my healer looks away? That's not right, is it?
Informed Player A: Right, right. Just have a strong heart, keep track of your cooldowns, and save your key damage reduction skills. You can be tough as nails too.
Informed Player B: Totally reasonable. Just invest in a burst-damage build, and you can enjoy ridiculous damage too.
Informed Player C: That's right, that's right. It's because you don't have a pocket healer who sits at the top of the class rankings!
That day, Si Yan dressed up to welcome General Feng, the man he'd been secretly in love with for years, home in triumph.
Instead, he received the dreadful news that General Feng had volunteered for overtime and hadn't returned with the troops.
To comfort his fragile heart, Si Yan logged into an account he hadn't used in a long time.
He'd thought he could ease his lovesickness in the virtual world with an alt he'd secretly customized to look like General Feng.
But the moment he logged in, a flying kick came at him, accompanied by one of Feng's signature curses:
Feng Linyuan: "Which pervert are you? Get lost, before your Lord Feng kicks your ass!"
Si Yan: "...?"
Theme: The road ahead is long and arduous, so make the most of the present.
Has the copy been changed? How do I remember that Shou originally asked you if you could leave some food?
Yeah, I forgot, congratulations to Kaiwen [Spread flowers]
I saw Lan Zhi, is it really FF? [Laughing and crying]
