The NPC in the Infinite Game Has Awakened

Please add this to your favorites! Please!

A little horror, mostly romance.

(The story next door is nearing its end, so updates will be irregular for now. I'll rush over as soon as it's finished!)

"City of Watchers" is a classic full-dive sci-fi horror game.

The atmosphere is chilling, the horror level off the charts.

One day, a game streamer being hunted by a boss and with nowhere left to run accidentally enters a dungeon.

An old European-style castle with pointed turrets and a fence of gorgeous red roses.

And a beautiful young master strolling down the stairs.

Song Zhiyan is swallowed up in a long camel-colored trench coat, his cheeks pale and rosy. His round catlike eyes regard the group curiously.

"Are you guests?"

Faced with the sheltered young master, the streamer lies to save his own skin.

The young master cheerfully serves them tea. "It's been ages since anyone came here."

The group is left stunned by his voice and desperately lowers their heads to drink.

They drink, and drink.

The streamer senses something is wrong. Why is his experience skyrocketing?

In an instant, he breaks through the level and enters the ranks of the experts he's long coveted.

Song Zhiyan smiles. "Another cup?"

The streamer takes a closer look: the cup is made of demonic bone, and the tea leaves are jade-green tea worth hundreds of thousands of star coins per gram.

The trench coat is handmade by elves from a beast king's hide.

Even the slender, bony fingers wear pigeon-blood rubies.

Just carrying these treasures around makes you a walking experience-point buff.

Experience +1 +1 +1 +1...

!!!

The streamer can only fall to his knees and call him Dad.

"Dad, do you need someone to carry you?"

"I'll walk through fire and climb a mountain of blades for you!"

"This isn't an NPC, he's a saint!"

"You're my god!"

And so, the streamer happily takes Song Zhiyan out into the world.

A beauty and a fortune are bound to attract a greedy dragon.

The demon king of the entire game wakes up from a nap and discovers someone has stolen his wife.

"Wretched humans! I'll make you regret ever being born!"

Lately, the players' lives have been miserable.

For some reason, legendary bosses in one dungeon after another are waking up.

And they're all issuing the same quest: [War to Exterminate Humanity]

Players are being killed over and over again.

They're completely traumatized.

The kitties weep: We didn't do anything, sob...

Until the System posts a bounty from the demon king.

[Find the Demon King's Treasure]

[Reward: A Divine Coronation]

All the players respond: Which bastard did this? Come out here!

"Achoo!"

The streamer shivers and wraps his ragged coat tighter around himself. They've been trapped in the [Winter Dungeon] for a month.

He wonders if Song Zhiyan is doing all right.

After all, the vicious mermaid king kidnapped him.

Inside an ice castle,

the mermaid puts away his sharp claws and reveals a magnificent ice-blue tail.

Song Zhiyan hangs onto the mermaid's waist, held fast by his tail, his cheeks flushed red.

"It's too hot."

The mermaid king sheds tears. Does Zhiyan hate me?

Song Zhiyan hurriedly catches the pearls. "How could I?"

Song Zhiyan: "Thanks for caring. I'm great. My waist is just a little sore."

PS: The gong is in multiple pieces. Happy ending.

Coming soon: The Villain Mistakenly Thinks I Like Him

Blurb:

"Interstellar Big Shot Falls for Me" is a harem novel starring a Mary Sue. From interstellar generals to megastar celebrities, everyone fights over the protagonist. Meanwhile, the cannon-fodder Jian Shang is a hated third-rate celebrity who marries Chu Yunshen, the gloomy, wheelchair-bound villain, in a marriage of convenience out of vanity. In the end, the villain goes mad and dies, while Jian Shang is sent to the frontier to do hard labor.

The newly adult dragon Jian Shang accidentally falls into a space-time wormhole and transmigrates. At this point, the original Jian Shang has just signed a marriage agreement with the villain.

Thinking of his elders' repeated warnings not to reveal his identity, Jian Shang looks at the villain, Chu Yunshen, who is handsome and refined but has a vicious gaze...

Jian Shang has no choice but to grit his teeth and keep up the act.

On the first day of their marriage, Jian Shang "accidentally" twists his ankle and knocks the blanket off Chu Yunshen's legs, then presses on them a few times, pretending to reopen his old wounds. Chu Yunshen's expression turns dark.

At an auction, Jian Shang shows off his vanity. He picks the biggest, most expensive, sparkliest diamond and makes Chu Yunshen pay for it. Just as expected, Chu Yunshen looks disgusted and annoyed.

The villain hates crowded places, so Jian Shang signs them both up for a wilderness survival variety show. Sure enough, throughout filming, Chu Yunshen keeps turning off the noisy comments and refuses to cooperate with the director. He even says to Jian Shang in a menacing tone, "Why can't you behave?"

But somehow, things start to go wrong...

Why has the villain become the Marshal of the Empire? Why are netizens going crazy shipping them and demanding that he become the Marshal's husband?

Jian Shang: ???

QAQ

Get a grip, everyone! I'm a villain too!

In the end, Jian Shang reluctantly knocks on the door of the only person who seems normal, Chu Yunshen. "Just hurry up and send me to the frontier!"

After hearing this, Chu Yunshen's expression turns dark and crazed in the corner where the young dragon can't see him.

The gong's perspective:

Chu Yunshen has been a celebrated genius his whole life, until an accident leaves him with a broken leg. The "good friends" who used to flock around him scatter like birds and beasts. Everyone avoids him.

So Chu Yunshen stops caring even about himself. If Jian Shang wants to use him to enjoy wealth and status, then he'll make sure Jian Shang sees the kind of hell that awaits by his side.

Who would have thought...

On their first day of marriage, Jian Shang lifts the blanket off his legs and presses them tenderly, as if he feels sorry for him. He quietly apologizes. After walking away, Chu Yunshen even hears the young man murmur to himself, "His legs must have been beautiful once."

Chu Yunshen stares in a daze, then mocks himself. "Isn't that the truth?"

At the auction, the young man looks at him adoringly as he bids on the gemstones. He even protects them when he falls. There's a special room at home just for collecting Chu Yunshen's things.

Chu Yunshen helps Jian Shang up from the ground. "He seems to really like the things I give him."

Chu Yunshen doesn't like crowded places, but Jian Shang excitedly signs him up for the variety show and eagerly packs their bags. He even has a handbook for intimate travel at his side.

Chu Yunshen runs his fingers over the booklet. "He probably likes me."

We haven't even gone on our honeymoon yet.

At last, the gloomy villain breaks into a genuine smile and decides to cherish Jian Shang. But he never expected...

In the middle of the night, the young man would knock on his door, distressed. "Why haven't you sent me to the frontier yet?"

Chu Yunshen holds Jian Shang tight and gently soothes him. In private, his expression turns cold and his gaze grows crazed. "You can never leave me."

Theme: Love takes countless forms, but one thing never changes: I love you.
