Becoming the Most Popular Character in an Adults-Only Game

[To be revised] [2024/10/25] Li Jingcheng suddenly died and was forced into a mature-rated horror game. The game-observation System bound to him demanded that he win over the horror games' murderous male leads, making them give up their killing sprees for the sake of a mere cannon fodder like him and keeping the world stable. These male leads were either deranged, obsessive, or born evil. They were walking bioweapons. But Li Jingcheng, who had only just escaped a stalker, didn't focus on that. Instead, he asked, "Mature-rated... what?" Game-observation System: [The game is full of gore and has no limits. It's revolting.] Li Jingcheng, who thought his own mind was way too filthy, fell silent. But then, when he entered the first game level, the System announced: [Selecting and registering identity for this level... Selection successful... Registration complete... Player's identity for this level is...] [A butter demon starving to death during its growth period] Li Jingcheng: "Nice." * The identity in each game level was like a filter. [A butter demon starving to death during its growth period] turned him into a demon with smooth, fair skin, pink knees and elbows, a face like the autumn moon, and a complexion like a spring flower. [Sickly white moonlight] made him gasp for breath after every few steps, breathe with a fragrant sweetness, and have smooth, fair skin and a gentle, lingering scent of bamboo that called to mind the moonlight of days gone by. [Sunny puppy] gave him honey-colored skin, little canine teeth, dimples, perfectly proportioned long legs, and a trim waist, turning him into a pure, energetic ray of sunshine. After being turned into a demon, Li Jingcheng silently looked at his smooth, rosy little legs, which reddened at the slightest pinch. "..." He said coolly, "If you want to keep the world stable, why make things so complicated?" Then, while the System was still dumbfounded, Li Jingcheng took the script, entered the horror game, got out of the car, and cleanly stabbed the male lead to death. The game-observation System saw black and let out a silent scream: [, ] Fortunately, the world automatically reset and restarted. System: [No! You can't do that! You have to win him over and make him willingly stop killing!] [And you can't break character!] He was expressionless. "...Oh." * [A butter demon starving to death during its growth period] Game Level One, "Horror at Wushan Bay": Wushan Bay was famous for its winding roads. The bends were perilous and thrilling, and the surrounding terrain was a tangled maze. Every year, thrill-seekers who weren't afraid of dying came here for a rush. Li Jingcheng and his friends drove into Wushan Bay, unaware that the moment they entered, a terrifying predator began following them. A heart-pounding chase was about to unfold among the treacherous bends and the woods. That was the original story. Now... The dangerous bends, the complex terrain, the terrifying traps, and the pursuing predator whose true face was obscured by the thick fog. But no matter how ferocious a hunting dog might be, when it comes face-to-face with a demon, it becomes a well-behaved pet. After all, this was a demon who played the prey to catch the tiger. Even if the hunting dog bullied him, chased him, and demanded him endlessly, it was all just the demon's way of... luring it into a trap. [Gentle gentleman, proud as bamboo, sickly white moonlight] Game Level Two, "Deadly Train": Li Jingcheng was the male lead's fiance. He was so ill that he couldn't even get out of bed, so his older brother stood in for him and completed the wedding ceremony with the male lead. The male lead was quiet and as thin as a wolf cub. He was often spattered with blood, yet possessed a vibrant, unyielding vitality. For that rare spark of life, Li Jingcheng treated him with great gentleness and patience. The male lead never told him where the bloodstains came from. Li Jingcheng assumed it was because of cruel relatives or strange servants, yet somehow never noticed anything amiss. Until one day, he saw the male lead holding a gleaming axe high above his head, then bringing it down hard on a man who looked exactly like him. The male lead warned him, each word distinct: "He... is... mine!" Even as he died, the man stared fixedly at Li Jingcheng, his expression crazed and infatuated. The male lead had been discovered. His eyes red, he silently dropped the axe. His dry lips moved, and at last he put on a pitiful expression, hoping for the worried questions of the person he loved most. Even pity had to be his alone. Anyone Li Jingcheng had once pitied, the male lead would have to pity until the very last second. The "frail" beast thrashed wildly in its cage. Its greedy possessiveness made the male lead unable to tolerate even himself... Perhaps the only way to defend his claim completely was to kill every "self" who came to compete for it. [Youthful, energetic, slim waist, long legs, sunny puppy] Game Level Three, "Where the Stars Shine": Could a slave owner's child become friends with a slave, let alone lovers? Perhaps such an absurd and bizarre tale could exist only in a delusion called a "daydream." Game Level Four, "Becoming a Family with Four Monsters": His family were all monsters. * Much later, several "horror games" that had circulated in the real world for countless ages merged into one, forming a complete game world: "The Colosseum." The male leads, each a killer in their own domain, collided with characters from other game worlds. The male leads: "..." The male leads: "?" "The Colosseum" was exactly what its name promised. [Reader's Guide] ★ The protagonist's name comes from the lines "The evening glow scatters like brocade; the still river is as smooth as white silk," also known as "The evening glow scatters like brocade." ★ The final story is "The Colosseum," where all the male leads gather. I want to try writing a romantic rivalry. ★ The male leads are split aspects, but their independence is respected. One love interest per game level, so each game is one-on-one, though in some levels a male lead may split himself. ★ Both the protagonist and the male leads have their own strengths. They're all independent individuals. Everyone shines in their own way! ★ The author loves puppies, so calling someone a puppy is not an insult. Love puppies! Theme: Believe in yourself. You can do it.
