Please Don't Feed the Dogs in Cosmic Horror Games [Online Game]

(I’m getting back into writing this, but I won’t write too much. Updates whenever inspiration strikes!)

Blurb:

In the hugely popular horror game with endless levels, Oblivion, Yang Yicheng, once the number one player on the national server, quit the game and went into hiding so he could focus on his relationship.

The three playstyles he invented, “Feint and Strike,” “High-Energy Prediction,” and “Level Five Bug,” remained popular for three years after he quit.

Then Oblivion released its new “Imposter” mode. Top-tier professional boosters, popular streamers, and talented players from all over began to emerge. The rankings shifted, and some people started challenging the former number one’s position.

“Some old national server number one should get back online, wake up, and give up the spot.”

“First place was never meant for him. He only got there by throwing money around.”

“Which booster ranked him up? I’ll pay ten million.”

As the online world changed by the minute, Yang Yicheng had no idea what was going on. He had just finished calling his partner for the twenty-ninth time, only to get dumped in the most miserable way.

To ease his heartbreak, he bought a computer and returned to the game to numb himself.

That only encouraged the others to make an even bigger spectacle of themselves, hurling every kind of insult at him.

Yet Yang Yicheng didn’t livestream or explain himself. Instead, he focused on teaching a clueless little disciple with a name that was just a jumble of characters how to play.

His former friends, all top players, were frantic on his behalf.

“Just start a livestream and explain yourself!”

“They’re using the playstyles you invented and still insulting you! Why aren’t you even mad?”

Yang Yicheng said he was busy teaching his disciple and had no time to deal with it.

What he didn’t know was that streamers chasing views were watching his every move.

Then, in every match, he flawlessly pulled off the long-lost top-tier techniques from all three playstyles... and the trolls and haters were stunned.

“I’m the clown here. I’ll slap myself...”

“This slap is on behalf of my big mouth...”

Everyone began begging Yang Yicheng to forgive them and praising his skills.

Meanwhile, Yang Yicheng was having the time of his life teaching his disciple. Then, in one dungeon, his disciple casually mentioned where he had a tattoo and which spots were sensitive, things only his ex knew...

Yang Yicheng: “...Are you my ex?”

Zhao Yang: “Honey, I’m sorry. I did it all to win you back. I’ll sleep on the sofa...”

Yang Yicheng: “No :) You can kneel outside.”

To win his wife back, Zhao Yang took up a new hobby he’d never touched before: horror games.

He was thoroughly enjoying the attentive, hands-on care his wife gave him as his student.

Until, in one dungeon, someone called Yang Yicheng his own... and said he was nothing but a shameless burden...

Zhao Yang: “Who’s the number one player on the national server now? Have you got a death wish?”

Blurb:

The famous beauty-director Qi Xiuquan and his billionaire businessman husband, Yan Qing, got divorced.

That night, the trending topic #Qi Xiuquan and Yan Qing Divorce# stayed at the top all night.

Gossiping netizens were all full of regret.

[How could this happen! Poor Mr. Yan.]

[He humiliated himself in front of the whole entertainment industry to win his wife back back then... and it was all for nothing.]

[Five years after winning his wife back, he’s right back at the crematorium...]

On the night he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry, Qi Xiuquan hid in a private bar and smoked. He closed his eyes, replaying Yan Qing’s words in his mind:

“You’re just a decoration. Looking good is enough. I only married you because my father wanted me to. I never wanted to get married in the first place. Thanks for playing your part for these five years. Here’s thirty million...”

The cigarette burned the back of his hand, leaving a scar that brought him back to his senses.

The bar was dim, and no one could make out the faces of the people at the neighboring tables. Qi Xiuquan finished his drink, planning to go home, quietly pack his things, and leave.

Then a man at the next table suddenly burst into loud sobs.

“...Wah, I’m the worst! Why did I have to test him? Now he’s really divorcing me! What do I do?!”

His friend comforted him. “At least you were married for five years...”

“That’s not the point! The point is that my wife hasn’t loved me for five years, wahhhh! He didn’t even suspect a thing!”

His friend offered a suggestion. “How about this? You have a younger brother studying overseas, right? Your wife’s never met him. Why not disguise yourself as your twin and win him back, then marry him all over again?”

“Great idea.”

Qi Xiuquan heard that and gave a cold laugh. It was amazing how there could be idiots willing to believe any nonsense people dared to say.

But as he was heading home to pack, a luxury car suddenly pulled up beside him.

Yan Qing wore sportswear unlike his usual suits, his slicked-back short hair now loose. He looked at Qi Xiuquan coldly and held out his hand. “Hello, I’m Yan Qing’s twin brother, Yan Ming.”

Qi Xiuquan gave him a deeply unimpressed look. So the idiot at the bar... was you...

He didn’t call him out. Instead, he smiled and shook his hand, his voice alluring. “Hello.”

He wanted to see what this idiot was up to.

──

Yan Qing, a famous businessman, had finally won his wife back after going through hell and back. They’d enjoyed five happy years together, until one day he got drunk and, egged on by his friends, decided to test how much his wife trusted him.

That one test cost him his marriage.

When Yan Qing saw his wife leave without looking back after signing the divorce papers, his heart shattered with hers.

Luckily, at the last moment, his good friend came up with a brilliant plan.

Pretend to be his twin brother, win his wife back, and marry him again!

But why was his wife’s smile getting more and more unsettling? QvQ!

Note: One-on-one romance, sweet and satisfying. Don’t nitpick the logic. A flashback-style story about winning his wife back from the crematorium.
