The Human Map's Darling and the Great Villain [Infinite]

The first world and the first part of the main story are complete. I don't think I wrote them very well, so please just treat them as a short story.

A friendly heads-up: I probably won't write more. I really didn't plan it out well. If I start another infinite-flow story later, I won't revise this one, either. Just read this as a short story if you like. (Big bro lights a cigarette.)

[Blurb]

Wen Li used to be a criminal police captain, but an accident left him with a leg injury and pushed him into desk duty. He found a strange map of the city, with a huge red X marked over the subway station he was about to visit. On that train, he was forced into a bizarre horror game.

Draw a skill card at the start. Each round assigns you a random identity, location, and language. Solve the clues and escape the map. You only get one life.

Wen Li: Oh, so I've walked right into the line of fire. Bring it on.

System: Congratulations! The card you drew is SSSSSSR. Trait Card: "Irresistible Charm." Passive skill: Reduces your physical abilities by 98% and grants you 100% charm. What a fantastic skill!

Wen Li: ...Are you freaking serious?

System: Loading. You are about to enter the first map. Your identity is "the eldest son of a prominent family and a popular male celebrity." Your condition is "brain dead and on life support in a hospital."

Wen Li: You ***** (a friendly greeting).

Wen Li expected to run into vicious criminals first, but when he opened his eyes, he found himself facing an obnoxious pest.

Ji Che.

Wen Li raised an eyebrow.

Ji Che wore a gentle, gentlemanly smile and looked utterly harmless. NPCs who saw him would say he looked so polite.

But the first thing he did was kiss Wen Li on the forehead.

"Captain Wen, it's an honor to meet you here."

"...Get... off... my bed!"

"Oh, right. I keep forgetting to tell you something. Don't you want to know what starting card I drew?"

"Who cares?"

"The card I drew was..." Ji Che's breath, cool as thin ice, brushed against his ear.

"The big bad villain."

[The Human Map Game Handbook]

1. They are each other's first love. A wicked, twisted top and a violent, sensitive bottom. Ji Che is the top. He's younger, but not by much.

2. The bottom has plenty of cheats, and the top is a cheat in his own right.

3. This is a quick-transmigration-style infinite-flow story. Each map has different characters, backgrounds, and role-playing scenarios, with mystery-solving and crime-investigation plots and some horror elements. It's not very scary (probably). The overall setting is related to science fiction.
