Turns Out I'm an Enigma

Occasionally Lays Low to Grow Stronger, Daily Rule: If You Won't Back Down, Throw Hands · E-Type Underling Top × Causality-Law Weapon · Strongest Humanoid Weapon · A-Type Young Master Bottom

Yan Luo is carefree by nature and loves tempting fate.

When his parachute failed to open, he transmigrated into an interstellar society.

Not only did he become an orphan, he was also poor, illiterate, and lacking in common sense.

Even more absurdly, the food here was awful, the only way to find a partner was to date men, and gender was divided into ABO categories. Unlucky for him, he had transmigrated into the gender that was callously abandoned whenever alien beasts invaded: an ordinary Beta.

The only good news was that he was a Beta with an employer who provided meals.

To become a highly paid butler for a wealthy financial conglomerate, Yan Luo had to travel to the capital planet for professional training, working hard to stay by the side of the Alpha young master and be a dedicated little follower.

As his training went on, it became harder and harder to hide his Blue Star social-butterfly nature.

A federal lieutenant colonel, mecha elites, and even a top-tier AI all begged to be his friend. He repeatedly left interstellar citizens in awe of what a max-level human could do.

When people thought Betas should obey high-ranking Alphas unconditionally, Yan Luo turned around and subdued several unruly S-ranks.

When people thought a Beta's mental strength was insufficient to pilot a mecha, Yan Luo had already racked up an astounding record on the virtual battlefield.

When alien beasts invaded again and Betas were expected to sacrifice themselves as bait, Yan Luo had already gone so far as to lead an army in an all-out extermination campaign.

When front-line Alphas suffered from their mental powers running amok, Yan Luo actually brought Blue Star's five-star scenic destinations to the interstellar world, creating the universe's only mental-sea rehabilitation center.

Only then did people realize something was off. This Beta was way too overpowered...

How was he good at absolutely everything!?

On the surface, Yan Luo was as unflappable as a seasoned schemer, but secretly he smugly thought:

Jealous? That's because your bro is the most handsome and dashing live-in son-in-law in the interstellar world. Blame it on my boyfriend for being so supportive of my career and hobbies. How could I possibly turn him down?

Little bonus scene:

After Yan Luo had nearly gotten himself lost in the wilderness yet again, the young master, left all alone in their empty home, cornered him against a wall.

Xi Ying said angrily, "I heard you telling everyone that you're neither a Beta nor an AO. So how are we supposed to get married?"

Yan Luo looked confused. "Get married?"

Holy crap, he was only just turning twenty-five, and now he was supposed to become a live-in son-in-law?

Was he really that eager to claim him?

Xi Ying was so furious he bit him hard. "I compete in mecha tournaments with you, go to a military academy on a remote planet with you, and negotiate deals at pirate hideouts with you, and you still want to welsh on our deal?"

Thinking of his boyfriend's trillion-yuan fortune and eight-pack abs, Yan Luo decided that getting married young might not be so bad. He said bluntly, "Getting married is fine. You lie flat and call me hubby."

The onlookers accidentally got the CP pairing backward and immediately fell apart.

No one expected that the Alpha young master, already one of the Federation's top fighters, would blush all the way to his ears...

"Mwah, hubby."

///

The government had recently been secretly revising gender regulations without telling the public.

Before long, Yan Luo was holding the young master close as they stared silently at the gender field on their freshly issued marriage certificate.

Oh no. How was he going to explain to his rabid fans on the interstellar web, who called him the "Light of the Betas," that he was actually an Enigma!

★

The CP dynamic is very clear, mutual devotion, plot, ensemble cast, and everyday life.

In this story, Enigma is an exclusive gender for tops, and there can only be one.

A mountain of personal worldbuilding, very loose adherence to canon, and the CP takes a little while to appear.

There are side stories and a large cast, so skipping around may make things hard to follow.

Be sure to read the author's note at the end of Chapter One!!

This is a personal indulgence, so if it's not your thing, just drop it without telling me. Muah muah muah.

"The Retired Villain Boss's Guide"

Upcoming novel blurb:

Yu Nansi is the most popular beautiful, strong, and tragic villain boss in the full-dive game "UFO Tower", which has been running for 99 years.

The interstellar gaming alliance officially certified him as a game bug, and everyone agreed he was the biggest fan favorite.

His fanbase had surpassed ten million. Countless devoted followers leveled up day and night just to see him in the final dungeon, and accounts that had been crushed by him became worth a hundred times more when resold.

To maintain a fair gaming environment, the gaming alliance announced that it would archive Yu Nansi's AI data on the game's centennial anniversary.

Yu Nansi smiled. "I'm retiring. Thanks."

His fans were devastated. "We refuse! Name your price!"

One moment, he went to sleep feeling relaxed. The next, he woke up reborn in fury.

Pay to change fate; humans can beat AI.

The full-scale role-playing game "Kneel Before Emperor Yu" launched seamlessly.

Looking at the familiar scene models that made him want to throw up,

Yu Nansi raised an eyebrow. "Was my knife-drawing pose not good enough?"

His followers tried desperately to win him over, weeping and pleading: "Emperor Yu, if we can't see you, our mental seas will fill up with pollution and we'll die!"

So, for the sake of the sweet little cakes and brand-new armor delivered right to him, Yu Nansi silently put his knife away and decided to spare the poor followers for now.

His new home was great in every way.

It was just that the love from his wild relatives was a little blind.

The models were the same, but the souls were different.

Yu Nansi knew this was no longer the abyss he loathed, but a peaceful little home made just for him...

An unknown crash occurred in the central AI's database, fusing the original game with its "knockoff" version.

An alien world from outside the game arrived at the same time, throwing everyone into chaos.

They hid their mental entities in the data world that had not yet collapsed.

At that moment, Yu Nansi regained all his memories and picked up his knife again.

He calmly waited at the data boundary for the invaders.

Huh? That's strange.

Why did the pretty little pretty-boy running fastest on the other side look so familiar?

Hua Jing was shocked and aggrieved. "Big bro! I'm your number one fan!"

Yu Nansi raised an eyebrow and smiled without a trace of remorse. "Oh, so you're that top-tier noob who paid for a full set of god-tier gear and still couldn't beat my beginner guard beast."

Cold on the outside, ruthless, but a total softie · Villain boss top who turned over a new leaf × Pretty-boy who stole his way into the home · Filthy rich · Noob bottom

Emperor Yu is a 189-centimeter, ridiculously powerful top-tier top.

A beloved darling of the full-dive gaming world.

A redemptive, family-bonding story, with a touch of the Fourth Disaster genre.

Golden finger may go off the rails at any moment.

Other details to be added if I think of them.
