An NPC in an Infinite World Gets Hounded by Players

The infinite world is an endless cycle of conflict and slaughter. Humans and NPCs alike are usually left battered and miserable. There is only one absolute exception.

Ji Sibai, the god who rules the infinite world, deigns to play the part of an NPC. He is the elegant, mysterious vampire lord of a castle, the aloof demon of the infernal frontier... He always looks down on everything from his lofty perch, untouched by the blood and chaos of the world.

To him, the players struggling to survive are no more than ants.

Until one of those "ants" latches onto him.

The guy greets him eagerly yet shyly, keeps his eyes glued to him, and even... spies on him.

Ji Sibai pays him no mind, but the player only gets more persistent.

And more persistent.

Lu Jie is the kind of teammate no one can handle. Everyone knows he’s a notorious lunatic.

The electric chainsaw roars, and bosses of every kind tremble in fear.

Later, Ji Sibai discovers that whenever Lu Jie is in the thick of a thrilling battle, the name he murmurs is always his.

Ji Sibai: …

Coming soon: I Picked Up the Aloof Immortal Lord [Book Transmigration]. Please add it to your favorites. Here’s the blurb:

The Demon Lord Yin Tinghuai reaches the pinnacle of cultivation and sees through the secrets of the world. It turns out he is an ambitious villain in a cultivation novel.

He learns what fate has in store for him: in the war between good and evil, he will die to the might of an unrivaled divine artifact. The immortal sects will rip out his demon bones to make magical weapons and strip his flesh to refine pills. His soul will be sealed away, never to be reborn.

Short-tempered Yin Tinghuai: I quit! Whoever wants to be this lousy villain can have the job!

Yan Fangjiu finally realizes the truth about his Book Transmigration, but through a twist of fate, he loses his memory.

After losing his memory, Yan Fangjiu forgets the entire plot of the book and remembers only one thing:

He is not human.

Repeating, "I'm not human, I'm not human," Yan Fangjiu wanders around with his head lowered and his hands behind his back, until he ends up near the entrance to the demon realm, where he meets Yin Tinghuai, who has appeared with a pair of horns on his head.

Yin Tinghuai narrows his eyes.

In the book, Yan Fangjiu appears to be an immortal lord admired by all, but in truth he is the only divine artifact in the Six Realms, the Fangtian Goblet. It is unmatched in power and can take human form.

Yin Tinghuai dies after being grievously wounded by Yan Fangjiu in his artifact form.

Yan Fangjiu gazes at Yin Tinghuai's horns for a while, then seems to get an idea.

He gently straightens his spotless white robe. His peerless face remains serene as he points a slender finger and walks ahead on his own. "Come on, let's go back to the cave dwelling."

Yin Tinghuai: ...

That's my home! Do you have to walk in like you own the place?

Yin Tinghuai had been wary of Yan Fangjiu, but after looking him up and down...

Whatever! I'm not dead yet, am I? He's a gorgeous man. It'd be a shame not to take him in!

Before long, rumors spread that the Demon Lord had abducted Immortal Lord Yan Fangjiu, who was suffering unspeakable torment every day. The story was so tragic that it brought people to tears and was too dreadful to look at.

In reality... of course, it was nothing like that.

After recovering half his memories, Yan Fangjiu recalls all the hardships he endured in the first half of his life. His master never showed him the slightest kindness, and his senior and junior fellow disciples treated him with cold indifference.

Yan Fangjiu looks toward Yin Tinghuai's home.

That demon treats me rather well.
