(My buddy's original post-apocalyptic story featuring secret identities, The Savior Refuses to Be Human!, is currently being serialized. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites. The blurb is at the very bottom~)
(This novel will be going premium on January 25~)
(You can see the original cover on Weibo: JJ Shanlegezai. My editor said I couldn't include characters from the original work, so sorry, Big Brother Inumaki QAQ! I kneel and beg for forgiveness.)
Here is the blurb for this novel:
[Help, my ex-boyfriend has come looking for me]
Sakurada Xi cowered under the bed, trembling as she secretly retrieved her phone and sent a message for help to her colleagues at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. But the next second, a pair of icy hands grabbed her ankle and yanked her out from under the bed.
His lips moved slightly, and a black snake-eye pattern appeared on his tongue.
"Big Sis, don't run."
An invisible curse bound Sakurada Xi, leaving her completely unable to resist.
This is seriously terrifying. How did things end up like this?
On the way home, she always felt someone was following her. Even at home, she constantly felt watched. Her bedroom often showed signs of being rummaged through, and when she woke up, her body always felt strangely sore.
Sakurada Xi gradually realized that the DK ex-boyfriend she had so heartlessly dumped might be a monster she couldn't afford to provoke.
The normal daily-life version of the blurb:
Sakurada Xi is a top student in the medical department at Tokyo University. Because her boyfriend Zero joined the Japanese Public Security Bureau after graduating from the police academy, the beautiful but ill-tempered Sakurada was hired by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as a special investigative consultant through a twist of fate. She became criminals' nightmare and the department's unattainable belle.
But recently, she discovered that her predictable, boring daily life was becoming very different.
"My brother's new wife is a suspect in a serial murder case. Lately, she's been trying to turn her evil hands toward her stepdaughter and me, her sister-in-law."
"A client who often comes to me for medical care seems to be the boss of a liquor company. He warmly invited me to join his lab and contribute to his great cause, but since I don't like his silver-haired subordinate, I firmly turned him down."
"My boyfriend seems to have been missing for two months, but I only found out yesterday. I'm not looking for him. Let's break up."
But the strangest thing was that, one stormy night, I passed a muddy alley and rescued a DK with strange markings at the corners of his mouth. He could only speak in rice-ball language. He had delicate, pretty features, but was unusually muscular and incredibly strong.
His physical abilities were completely unscientific, and the things he said seemed to carry a strange curse. To study this supernatural living specimen more closely, Sakurada Xi started dating him.
From then on, her scientific daily life became unscientific.
Until she saw her ex-boyfriend, whose personality had changed completely, at the liquor company.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in you anymore. Let's break up, Inumaki."
The unscientific events began with a breakup.
· A beautiful big sister with no heart x a younger puppy-like guy who's so earnest he's obsessive and impossible to shake off
· Mainly investigations, with everyday romance.
· Three-year age gap.
· The female lead is an ordinary person who cannot see cursed spirits.
· The female lead is in a passionate relationship with Toru at the start, but they'll break up later.
· Severe OOC, proceed with caution.
A word of advice: Never casually rescue strangers by the roadside.
Blurb for The Savior Refuses to Be Human!:
"After her game received such low ratings that players complained, game designer Tang Haila has no choice but to enter the game herself and complete a full walkthrough."
The survival rate in this game is under ten percent. On the third anniversary of the game, Apocalypse Survival Simulator, its designer and capitalist, Tang Haila, decided to introduce a new feature she had been planning for a long time: the Black Mirror virus.
Players were tired of zombies, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, and worlds facing racial crises. When the new world launched, the number of players shot past a million. After a week of relentless play, the fungus had spread from a small area to the entire world.
A giant octopus eighteen stories tall stands in a steel city. Whales with the songs of sea monsters mutate. There are parasitic beings with human bodies and snake tails, humans with furry ears and leopard tails, and monsters with human upper bodies and pitch-black tentacles below... Every species has descended into chaos.
You can become a parasite resisting the fungus on behalf of humanity, stand atop the pinnacle of evolution and survey the world, or become the ruler of the world...
But as the story progressed, players soon discovered that the new world's rules were completely different from those of previous games. If a player was infected and died, there was no chance to revive and start over. They couldn't even log into their account again. Tang Haila was flooded with private messages from players begging her to lower the difficulty.
The number of players online plummeted. Countless players were stuck in the first map, unable to get through it. Those who had just started having fun were eliminated, left scratching their heads.
"The game is so hard! Please give us a walkthrough! Give us cheats!"
The culprit, Tang Haila, scrolled through the posts, picked up her thermos, took a sip of goji berry tea, and smiled with inhuman delight from inside her padded military coat.
"If it's not hard, how can you call it the apocalypse?"
Players: Oh, you're that cocky? Then you definitely won't mind if I uninstall, leave a bad review, and file a complaint, right?
Tang Haila slapped both hands on the table. "The player experience is our priority. Change it! Change it right now!"
Tang Haila had no choice but to create a walkthrough herself.
She quickly created three accounts. From the start, they had no equipment, and their talents could only be unlocked later. To show off her impressive skills, Tang Haila recklessly chose the parasitic faction and landed in a fungal nest. But when she entered the game, the exit button suddenly disappeared.
She transmigrated into the game she had created herself, becoming the only "special specimen" on this continent.
Surrounded by countless monsters and aberrations unfurling their tentacles, Tang Haila stood deep in their nest. The scent of the Creator's bloodline sent the monsters into a frenzy. Beasts opened their eyes in the darkness, packed tightly together.
Tang Haila: Damn it!!! Engineer, you're losing your year-end bonus!!
An Antarctic expedition found a hexagonal black box beneath a glacier. They brought it back to their base's laboratory, where an accident released the decayed fungal organism sealed inside for over a hundred million years. It multiplied and spread like wildfire, and a virus called "Black Mirror" quickly ravaged the globe.
It wriggles and seeps through things, reproduces asexually, possesses consciousness, and is highly aggressive and capable of manipulation. Humanity cannot decipher its genes, and countless deranged believers are convinced it is God's emissary.
At present, humanity knows only one thing: any lifeform it parasitizes completely loses its nature and reason, transforming from soul to body into a grotesque giant creature that sends sanity plummeting. Its appearance is unknown, and there may be more than one kind.
Until one day, a young and fragile little one was born in their nest.
God was born.
Will you become the savior who leads humanity toward the light of evolution, a ruler who believes in the survival of the fittest and might makes right, or an indifferent, heartless player skilled at walkthroughs?
What will you choose?
Tang Haila: Adults have to choose, but kids want it all!

Small theaters don't need to be so open-minded
Can you give more details about the small theater?
Actually, you don't need to wear pants in the small theater.
There's no need to be so open-minded, Sihashasha
Let's expand on the small theater and talk about it.
Actually, I don't have any big dreams. I just want to see what the small theater will look like when it unfolds.
Laugh, the curse-suppressing collar, well, would be an invention that has taken away the lives of countless spellcasters. According to general logic, it will be used by bad people.
Wuwuwu, I actually hope that Gou Juan can be a little crazier. Wuwuwu.
