I'm Not Interested in Cyberpunk Games

At first, Ning Baiye thought he had simply entered a cyberpunk sci-fi game.

Beneath a steel sky, conflicts between cyborgs and espers were breaking out everywhere. Behind the sharp neon glow, megacorporations and criminal killers were making secret deals. The city coexisted with disaster, and danger went hand in hand with opportunity...

But Ning Baiye didn't think it was a big deal. It was just a game. All he had to do was follow the System's instructions to complete dungeon missions, raise NPC favorability high enough, and collect his rewards.

.

So, brimming with confidence, he infiltrated a high-security prison to find a hidden dungeon, snatched a sealed relic from a final boss, ignored the pursuit of corporate giants, and deceived the leader of the opposing faction as an undercover agent, maxing out his favorability!

.

Until one day, he suddenly realized he couldn't leave the game and return to his own world...

.

"I'm just an utterly ordinary player. I'm not interested in this bloody, brutal, and dangerous game at all. I'm only playing for fun, so don't take it seriously."

So said Mr. Ning Baiye, the mysterious leader of the obscure anomalous-object organization Black Box, legendary Alliance investigator, recipient of the Purple Star Saint Emblem, honorary vice president of the Fate Star Track Academy, chief adviser to the White Hole Institute, S-rank wanted criminal of the Alliance, and mentor to the prophet.

* The protagonist's titles are tentative. I'll add them as the story goes, and may change them. Some have been left out because they contain spoilers.

* The love interest is the leader of the opposing faction whose favorability he raises.

* CP: A crazy bottom with secret identities everywhere, endless high-risk maneuvers, and a flawless record, paired with a high-ranking top who chases his beloved all over the world, gets tricked by him all the time, and pines for him like a stone gazing after his wife.

"How could my archenemy possibly be my long-lost first love, the one who died young?"

"No way. I'm definitely not falling for his tricks again this time. And why are you asking if I followed him and saved him twice?"

"You don't understand. It's all part of the plan."

"An archenemy is an archenemy. An archenemy cannot become a wife. I forgot the middle, and I forgot the end, and I forgot the beginning too."

"Why hasn't my wife come back to find me yet?"

The commander, still waiting for his wife to come home today.
