The Max-Level Expert Fakes Their Death and Disappears [Infinite]

[Main Story Complete!]

Plot mysteries, brain teasers, and tons of twists!

Soft sci-fi. The historical figures, strange tales, and physical laws referenced in this story are all real. So who knows, perhaps the Akashic Records are real too :)

Once a notorious madman in the Infinite World, Yan Ye had caused all kinds of bugs by going wild with the NPCs. He never expected the System to hold that against him and force him to repay his "romantic debts."

Yan Ye said listlessly, "I've already cleared the game."

The System thought for a moment, then said gravely, "What if I told you that the Bosses you thought were modeled after Ji Mingxiao's appearance... were actually Ji Mingxiao himself?"

The nonchalance vanished from Yan Ye's face, his expression turning dangerous. "...Say that again?"

Yan Ye had no choice but to hide his identity and replay all the instances where he had faked his death. As he played, he couldn't help feeling that the Boss version of Ji Mingxiao was acting strangely toward him...

Wait, forgetting your real-world identity is one thing, but don't tell me you still remember how I dumped you and ran last time?!

At the critical moment, the bug-fixing progress bar finally filled. The terrifying Boss burst in, unstoppable, and in the middle of the players' terrified screams... swept Yan Ye into his arms.

The players, still screaming, suddenly froze. "Huh?"

Yan Ye blinked, his smile softening his usual wicked, unruly air. "You remember now?"

Dark currents surged in Ji Mingxiao's eyes. "Yeah."

[Naive, tea-loving, devoted, innocent, darkening top] x [Beautiful, languid, madcap, queenly bottom]

The focus is on brain-teasing mysteries. The top and bottom join forces to solve insanely difficult instances!

Two powerful leads in a high-stakes push and pull, finding chances to date along the way. This is not a sugary, wish-fulfillment romp!

1. Strong leads, mystery-driven plot, brain teasers, and tons of twists! [Important] The top is not the bottom's golden finger! He won't breeze through the game slaughtering everything in his path!!

2. There are multiple rounds of gameplay in each instance world. The previous round may be shown as background information during the current round.

3. You don't need to have read Strictly No Breaking Character to enjoy this.

Thanks to the lovely readers who helped find bugs. I kindly ask that you keep your comments friendly and offer encouragement (in other words, please praise me more, thank you, love from Yuyu!!)

[Note on the illustrations returning!]

The previous illustrations were taken down because they had been enhanced with AI. They have now been replaced as quickly as possible with original images that are free of controversy.

First, I want to apologize again for using AI. I admit my mistake and have corrected it. I also hope you'll give me the chance to make things right.

I didn't knowingly infringe on anyone's rights and insist on using AI. I thought that using AI to enhance my own images meant I was simply paying to use a legitimate AI tool for which I had obtained authorization. I didn't realize that apps of this kind steal images to do their work.

After readers explained things in the comments, I understood the difference between AI image generation and other AI tools, such as those used to create charts. I quickly replaced the illustrations with original commissioned art licensed for commercial use. I sincerely apologize again. I'll consider all the money I spent on the earlier images payment for my ignorance.

Postscript: A long time has passed, but I'm still receiving comments cursing me. I've kept trying my best to apologize because I know I really was wrong. But if I had known AI infringed on people's rights, there's no way I would have brazenly posted ten AI images. Wouldn't that be asking to get criticized? What would I have to gain? So this really was an honest mistake. The well-meaning readers could tell from my earlier "defiant" replies that I didn't understand why everyone was saying I had infringed on their rights. They patiently explained it to me, and that's how I realized my mistake. I sincerely apologized and made things right, and I paid a price for it.

But does an honest mistake that has already been corrected deserve to be unforgivable forever?

I don't understand what people who keep cursing me and insisting I haven't learned my lesson hope to achieve. They're clearly no longer seeking justice, just venting their malice.

The malice online is truly frightening.

The instance I was updating when this happened was about online harassment, which was deeply ironic.

The Fourth Calamity on the Run

After clearing an apocalypse game 108 times, Bai Yuchuan suddenly found himself transported into the game.

The good news: The S-rank zombie virus hadn't broken out yet.

The bad news: Qin Ye, the Boss who would create the virus, was about to marry him.

Bai Yuchuan looked calm on the outside... but inside, he was already writhing with excitement, crawling and rolling around, scuttling across the ceiling...

Aaaaaah, his paper-doll wife had come to life!!!

The heavens must have been moved by all the days and nights he'd spent grinding away at this messed-up game!!!

He did his best to restrain himself, and finally waited until Qin Ye left the house. Then he immediately opened the window...

And climbed out to escape!!!

Time to make a run for it.

The guy of his dreams was wonderful, but his life was at stake.

One day, people suddenly discovered that the world was actually a huge single-player game.

Since it was a single-player game, naturally the entire plot existed to serve its one and only player.

And now, the player who drove the world's story forward...

Had run away!

The world was plunged into an endless cycle of apocalypse.

Countless people died in terror, then came back to life when they opened their eyes, facing another countdown to doomsday and a new way to die. Gradually, they sank into collapse and chaos...

Until some key figures remembered their future storylines. In gamer terms, this was probably called NPC awakening.

The world's only player, Bai Yuchuan, was currently on the run from his wedding. He casually checked the news and saw his own wanted poster.

Bai Yuchuan: ...?!!! What the hell?! I only ran away from my wedding, so how did I become a globally wanted fugitive?!

Honestly, I never meant to destroy the world.

...I just wanted the paper-doll wife I'd loved throughout my youth to live happily and safely until the ending.

*Bai Yuchuan is the bottom!

Your Majesty, You're Shedding a Little

A story about a little phoenix who is reborn after undergoing nirvana, but keeps suspecting that he's a substitute. His cold, cool, handsome top only wants his body, or so he thinks. In truth, the top adores him. The two have been inseparable, sweet, and affectionate, from their previous life to the present.

The Phoenix Emperor, who once saved all living beings, is reborn as a chubby little bird who isn't imposing at all.

His former prime minister, now a business tycoon, tells him about the glory of his past life. Perched on a stand, the little bird can't quite believe any of it.

That is, until the prime minister points to the CEO-form White Tiger Imperial Preceptor who has just arrived and introduces him: "This is your lover."

Suddenly, the little phoenix feels that every story is vivid and real!

This man...

Must! Be! His! Royal! Consort!

But the little phoenix soon realizes that the White Tiger CEO doesn't seem to love him as much as the stories say.

He does kiss him and eagerly take what he wants, but... the little phoenix increasingly suspects that the man sees him only as a substitute for his own magnificent, wise former self.

How infuriating.

How can he seduce his "Royal Consort" into falling for him?

It's enough to make a bird go bald.

White Tiger: "..."

White Tiger: "Your Majesty, you're shedding a little. Let me groom you."

Among cats, grooming is an intimate act. It takes the little phoenix a long time to learn that this big cat of a top, the White Tiger, has no parents, relatives, or friends. The only one he's ever groomed...

Is him.

Theme: Be a good young person with a sense of social responsibility. If you dig a hole yourself, you have to fill it in.
