Playing the Fainting Goat in an Infinite World

[New story! Please check out My Beloved Fan Club Is Not Full of Pretty Faces in the author's upcoming works! The author is on her knees apologizing... QAQ (biting a handkerchief)]

[Blurb:]

Huai Qi has an impeccably beautiful face, but his luck is terrible. Not only is he chosen by a horror game to be a livestreaming player, but every mission gives him the role of a cannon-fodder character.

Luckily, he draws a skill: as long as he touches someone's skin, he can tell what they are thinking.

That way, it will be harder for anyone to plot against him.

But unfortunately, other people can also tell what he is thinking.

At least his mind is usually empty, and even more so after he enters the game.

All that remains is fear.

But even more unfortunately, he develops an illness in the game. If he does not eat sweets, he is liable to faint from fright and fall asleep.

Even someone as slow-witted as Huai Qi knows that randomly passing out in a dangerous dungeon world is a bad idea.

But he really has a tiny appetite. It takes him ages to finish digesting one slice of cake, and it only keeps him awake for two hours.

It feels as if a countdown has been placed on his life. Huai Qi is anxious and scared, and he eats until he feels like crying every day.

Finally, Huai Qi really cannot eat another bite. His eyes brimming with tears, he asks the System, "I don't want to eat anymore. Can I find somewhere safe to sleep until I feel hungry, then wake up?"

System: "...I wouldn't recommend it. You might never wake up again."

Huai Qi: "Sob, I don't want to live anymore!"

Though he says that, he still takes another tearful bite.

In the end, Huai Qi falls asleep anyway, but he does not end up never waking again, as the System warned.

And every time he wakes up, it seems he is no longer where he was a moment before he fell asleep.

At first, it is an unfamiliar bed, then a sofa, and later a meadow, a cave...

When Huai Qi wakes up and sees that he is completely unharmed, his little face immediately lights up. He huffs and accuses the System of lying to him. Sleeping is clearly perfectly safe.

The System looks at his soft, rosy lips, still glistening with moisture, and hesitates before speaking. "...As long as you're happy."

[Explanation for changing the title and blurb:]

My Beloved Fan Club Is Not Full of Pretty Faces will still be written, but I've moved it to my upcoming works. I really feel that I haven't been writing it well, and anyone who wants to read it can check it out there. Once I start writing it, I won't keep putting it off. I'm truly sorry to have kept everyone waiting so long!

As for this story, I've changed the protagonist and the blurb, but those who read it from the beginning should recognize the premise. It's the same premise as before, but I cut it when I decided to rewrite the story. Since I've decided to start a new story for the rewrite, I've chosen to polish up the original premise and use it here. I'm not trying to pass off someone else's work as my own, so please don't worry about that! I've apologized countless times already, and anyone who is unhappy can tell me in the comments. This is where things stand for now, though I still feel very uneasy. I'm so sorry, everyone.
