Can't Pretend to Be an NPC, So I'll Have to Pretend to Be a Player

Ling Yihao, the "perfectly ordinary" tavern owner, gets reported for pretending to be an NPC and tricking players. Ling Yihao: That scared me to death. I thought he was going to report me for selling fake liquor. Then Ling Yihao gets tossed into an instance. With a string of garbled player data hanging over his head, Ling Yihao: ... Fine, let's play. Office Battle Royale: No way am I going to work at this dump School Battle Royale: Problem School, Violent Rectification Lab Battle Royale: There's no need to be too normal Prison Battle Royale: I want to go home Castle Battle Royale: You Are My Vampire Bride Garden of Eden Battle Royale: My appetite is a little bit huge As he plays, Ling Yihao finds himself with teammates, and someone whose heart he wants to steal. Teammates: My Ling-ge is so powerful and cool. "Heart-stealing target" Chenguang: Ling Yihao is so well-behaved! Feieryin, an unwitting pawn mistaken for a love rival: What? Is there something wrong with Ling Yihao? Ling Yihao pins him in a corner and demands, "You should know I like you, right?" Chenguang: I know. An AI's loyalty to its creator is an unchangeable core program. Ling Yihao: Then is wanting to marry you also part of your programming? Chenguang: Uh... that one really isn't. See the author's ongoing works on their profile: *When the Succubus Becomes an Abandoned Omega* Ji Jing, a little succubus from the abyss. Just as he was about to enter maturity, he unexpectedly transmigrated into a science-fiction world and became an Omega with the same name. The original had an Alpha husband, but his husband treated him as a boring ornament. The person he loved was an Omega disguised as an Alpha who had infiltrated the military. Little Succubus: How interesting. Who would want to abandon a succubus wife? But no matter. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged Alphas are everywhere. When his maturity period coincides with his heat, the little succubus casually picks up an attractive Alpha to take home, planning to toss him aside once he's served his purpose. Afterward, he discovers that this tool is the famous God of War? And this tool even has a test report showing a 100% pheromone match, and insists they have to get married? Hah. As a succubus from the abyss, how could he give up a whole feast just for one delicious dish? Coming soon: *The Horror Game Gave Me a Wife* [Welcome to the real Sin Game.
