After Being Offered to a Demon

*Going premium on Friday the 29th, with a 10,000-word update and little red envelopes as a thank-you for supporting the official release~* Lin Qiao had just transmigrated into a book and hadn't even figured out what was going on when he was offered up as a sacrifice to the Abyssal Demon to be its snack. In the original story, the Abyssal Demon was the final BOSS who would destroy the world. He was vicious by nature, with blood-red eyes and horns growing from his head. He was both fierce and ugly, and ate live people like sashimi. Lin Qiao: Scared.jpg Luckily, he wasn't the only one offered as a sacrifice. There was also a beautiful boy. The boy was as pretty as a doll, quiet and a little slow to react. Even in the terrifying, gloomy Abyss, he didn't seem afraid. Lin Qiao's heart softened, and he decided to escape with him. Lin Qiao: "The Abyssal Demon eats people. If you see anyone with horns like a ram's, run far away. They're all bad people!" Boy: "...Mm." Lin Qiao: "But don't be too scared. It'll be fine once we get out of the Abyss and find the protagonist. He's the Holy Son of Light. He'll protect us and kill the Abyssal Demon." Boy: "...Okay." Later, Lin Qiao escaped the Abyss with the boy and thought he would never encounter a demon again. But one day, he saw the boy kneeling before a statue of a god, cutting off the horns on his own forehead. In a pool of blood, the boy trembled all over with pain, yet wore a satisfied smile. "I don't have horns." "Now Qiaoqiao won't hate me." * Seeking early follows The Villainous Sickly Beauty Has a Change of Heart Xie Xiaoshu was beautiful, weak-willed, a little foolish, and somewhat unlucky. At first glance, he seemed like someone you'd want to bully mercilessly. But he had transmigrated into a book as the vicious villain, destined to humiliate and bully the protagonist. After reading the plot, Xie Xiaoshu's little face turned pale. "I... I can't do it." The System replied coldly, "If you don't follow the plot, you'll be erased." - At the System's instruction, Xie Xiaoshu tried his best to do bad things. System: "Go on. Call the protagonist a good-for-nothing." So nervous that the corners of his eyes glistened, Xie Xiaoshu could barely get the words out. "Y-You're a good-for-nothing." System: "Go steal the protagonist's magic treasure." Xie Xiaoshu failed to see properly, stole the wrong thing, then tripped and fell, landing in a pitiful heap. System: "...Fine. Go challenge the protagonist and humiliate him soundly." Xie Xiaoshu gazed at him with misty eyes and hiccupped in fear. "Could you... hit me a little more gently?" - His efforts to build up the protagonist's hatred were too slow, so on the System's advice, Xie Xiaoshu decided to bully the protagonist's friends and companions instead. At last, the protagonist's hatred score began to rise. One late night, he cornered Xie Xiaoshu in an alley, pinched his slender, pale chin, and demanded in a low voice, "Was seducing me not enough? Now you're trying to seduce someone else?" At first, the System had been confident: If you do this, the protagonist will definitely punch you, hmm. Later, the System was left wondering: The protagonist ***** and that works too? One-line summary: The sea has not a single drop of water in it, only fish. Theme: Be independent and strong, and strive to survive.
