The Grim Reaper Keeps Trying to Collect Me [Infinite]

[Vengeful beauty bottom x Mischievous, theatrical nonhuman top]

Bai Xili was born a hypnotist. His eyes are a deep blue, and after five seconds of eye contact, he can control another person's mind.

This ability made him a world-renowned hypnosis master in real life. In an escape game, too, he seemed to have cheat codes, winning at every turn.

"Look into my eyes and tell me your name. From now on, you will be my slave."

Until...

Bai Xili pinned the mysterious man beneath him, nose to nose and eye to eye. "Tell me your name."

The mysterious man laid both hands on his slender, supple waist, fingers resting in the small of his back. He seemed to use no strength at all, yet held him completely captive in his arms. "Baby, I don't have a name."

*

The escape game System from another world is frantically recruiting humans from Earth as players, broadcasting their entire escape from beginning to death for the entertainment of otherworldly creatures.

Everyone struggles desperately to survive, suffering through every moment, but Bai Xili experiences a thrill unlike anything he has ever felt.

Here, he can hypnotize and control anyone he pleases. Ranking leaders and dangerous NPCs alike are at his command, letting him revel in the thrill of life and death through one instance world after another.

A world everyone else avoids is his ideal kingdom.

Of course, it would be even better if a certain man weren't constantly trying to turn him into a collectible.

Content warnings:

1. Forced romance at first, then mutual devotion. No angst in the relationship.

One-line summary: Scrambling to survive in a love-triangle showdown.

[1]

After a car accident, Pei Shen became a vegetable.

To save him, Nan Shiyu willingly bound himself to the "BE Maniac System" and began his "arduous" quick transmigration journey.

The System told him the ultimate secret to completing missions could be summed up in one word: grovel!

From straight men to psychos, from puppy-dog boys to tyrants,

he grovelled through life and death, finally winning over every male lead who had once looked down on him.

All right, mission accomplished. See you later!

Having collected all the soul fragments, he returned to his original world, pleased with himself and ready to awaken his sleeping lover.

But somehow, the four fragments he had brought back from the System each turned into a living, breathing person!

The familiar straight man (no longer straight), puppy-dog boy (no longer puppy-like), psycho (terminal case), and tyrant (out of a job) stared at one another. Nan Shiyu was dumbfounded.

At first, the four called one another placeholders, and the body-double drama was a lively mess

Straight-man top: "He broke up with me because I liked purple grapes and he liked green grapes. Now I like green grapes too, so we can get back together. You guys don't stand a chance."

Puppy-dog top: "Is that so? But yesterday, big brother patted my head. He even said none of you are as much like me as I am."

Tyrant top: "Hmph! Yesterday, I already moved into the guest room at A-Yu's house. It even has a contraption called a toilet. Now that I am back at his side, you had better know your place and withdraw, or I will have you made eunuchs!"

"You mean the bathroom, don't you?" The psycho top sneered and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "I'll hide him away. You'll never find him."

Nan Shiyu: "Stop it!!"

Where had all those male leads who once looked down on him gone!?

Several months later, Pei Shen woke up. But because his soul was incomplete, he had lost his memory and was paralyzed in bed.

Nan Shiyu wept with joy and cared for him devotedly every day.

The four heard the news and came in a fury. They had to see which enchantress had stolen Xiao Lan's heart!

Then they saw the "paralyzed beauty" Nan Shiyu had kept hidden in the hospital room, treasured in his heart

Straight man: My eyes look like his.

Puppy-dog boy: My mouth looks like his.

Psycho: My nose looks like his.

Tyrant: I... Anyway, I look like him.

Well, would you look at that, the body double is me!?

Nan Shiyu smiled. "Being compared to your beloved is your good fortune."

Theme: I've seen this System before.
