The Drama Queen Boss Retires and Starts a New Job [Infinite]

Xia Xiao closes his eyes, then opens them, only to find himself in an infinite-flow dungeon.

Others tell him he's already dead.

Thinking back to the long stretch of all-night overtime he'd just finished before going to bed, Xia Xiao accepts his fate.

A deserted hospital where no one survives, a bizarre mountain village where humans and livestock have switched places, an amusement park trapped in eternal night beneath a full moon... The infinite-flow world is full of strange dangers, but Xia Xiao manages to survive, however difficult it is.

What's more, he even has a roommate who keeps a cat.

His roommate is useless at everything except being good-looking, and whenever there's danger, he hides behind Xia Xiao. But Xia Xiao is still quite happy to pet a cat in an infinite-flow world.

All the players think that Xia Xiao, saddled with a deadweight, will never survive an intermediate dungeon. Xia Xiao is worried about it too, but to his surprise, he muddles through even the advanced dungeons with his roommate in tow.

Until one day, he sees his roommate flying through the sky.

Ye Jingci used to be a dungeon boss, but has retired to raise cats. Then one day, while taking his cat out, he falls back into the dungeon world.

Looking at Ye Jingci, who seems to have no talent except for his face, the players sneer. "What kind of trash gets picked as a player these days?"

Ye Jingci gives them a faint smile, walks over to Xia Xiao, pouts, tugs on his clothes, and starts crying. "They're bullying me, quq!"

Enjoying the pleasure of having Xia Xiao pat his head and comfort him, Ye Jingci turns around under cover of night, slips through a group of ghosts, and opens the doors to every player who mocked him.

Listening to the players howl as the ghosts attack them, Ye Jingci tucks in Xia Xiao, who's been woken up and is still a little groggy. "It's okay. The cat's in heat. Ignore it and let's get back to sleep."

As they make their way through the dungeons, Xia Xiao and Ye Jingci grow closer.

Just as Ye Jingci thinks he's about to win over Xia Xiao, the man he fell in love with at first sight, the Main God descends.

Looking at the god floating in midair and proclaiming that he'll kill everyone, Ye Jingci bares his teeth and, for the first time, pulls Xia Xiao behind him.

"You're only the Main God. Let's see how powerful you really are!"

1. Slow burn, slow burn, slow burn. This is a fictional setting, so don't nitpick the details.

2. The author is afraid of ghosts, especially since I like writing at night, so this definitely won't be scary.

3. Gong's POV, but the story will definitely include both the gong's and the shou's perspectives.

4. For now, updates are at noon every day. If you like it, please add it to your favorites.

Upcoming novel: Disaster? I'll Catch Rats to Raise You [Disaster]. If you like it, please add it to your favorites (blushes).

With a loud crash, the moon disappears from the sky, ushering in the apocalypse.

Pandemics, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, polar days, polar nights, extreme cold, extreme heat... One disaster after another leaves humanity in despair.

Holding his partner's arm, Shang Feibai, who has turned into a cat, is just as worried as everyone else.

But the tougher things get, the more you have to keep fighting. He's a man who swore to support his partner... and his partner's dog!

From the start, all he has is a cat. With a dog as his sidekick, Shang Feibai chooses to take to the skies.

While others can barely see in the endless night, Shang Feibai darts around at top speed, his cat eyes wide open.

While others shiver in the extreme cold, Shang Feibai shakes out his fur and drags a wild rabbit back through the snow.

While others struggle to move through earthquakes, Shang Feibai rides his partner's dog at full speed along the shaking roads.

While others fight to survive floods, Shang Feibai... gets picked up by the scruff by Ye An and stuffed into a pocket dimension.

Locked up inside the pocket dimension, Shang Feibai dashes around. "Waaah, An'an, let me out! I'm super capable, I can warm your bed and be your hand warmer! How can you bear to lock up such an adorable kitty? QAQ"

The dog, also trapped inside, licks Shang Feibai. "Daddy, Daddy! But you can't swim!"

"Shut up!" Shang Feibai's fur bristles. "And I'm not your daddy!"

"Okay, Daddy! No problem, Daddy!" the dog answers, standing tall.

Shang Feibai: "..." What a moron.

As the disasters worsen, life gets harder for animals too. The moment they show themselves, hungry humans catch and slaughter them. The idea of protecting animals is a thing of the past.

Animals warn one another to avoid people, until they meet a cat and dog who aren't afraid of death and spend all their time among humans.

The animals say, "Don't go over there! Humans will eat you! You'll definitely die!"

Shang Feibai and the dog: "?"

After directing the dog to carry the evidence of a crime to the police, Shang Feibai receives an official reward: a whole box of precious pet-food meat cans that have long since vanished from the market.

The animals, who came to see how the cat and dog would meet their grisly ends but witnessed all this instead, cry, "??? Holy crap, boss! Can we join your crew?"

Looking at the world after the great disaster, Ye An sighs with worry. "What are we going to do now?"

With a rose the animals helped him find in his mouth, Shang Feibai turns confidently. "A disaster? I'll catch rats to raise you."

Ye An: "..."

Never mind. His gong has never been normal. He'll just make do. It's not like he can get a divorce.
