[Infinite] I Could Have Made a Living on My Looks

[Updated daily at 9:00 a.m. sharp]

Jiang Shuqing had just finished defending his university thesis when, for no apparent reason, he was dragged into a live broadcast of a supernatural realm called Three-Headed Goose.

The bad news was that he couldn't resist. He could only be forced from one instance to the next, facing all sorts of bizarre, twisted monsters, as well as terrifying hunts by other players or NPCs.

The good news was... his best friend had come along with him.

The instances were riddled with danger. The deformed monsters and eerie surroundings constantly tested the players' sanity. Faced with the fear of the unknown, everyone covered their ears and eyes, trembling in terror as they fought to hold on to their last shred of reason.

The moment Jiang Shuqing entered the game, the System started picking on him. First, it dropped him into an instance that was completely inappropriate for a newbie. Then, for no apparent reason, it cut his inventory in half. The viewers in the livestream chat all agreed that a delicate flower like him had only two possible futures: becoming some big shot's kept pet or ending up as a monster's meal. There could be no third option.

Then, in the very first instance, Jiang Shuqing caved in a little ghoul's skull with a bone-crushing plier. Hunter and prey switched places in an instant, and the tables turned into a one-sided slaughter.

It was as if he had been born to belong here.

Jiang Shuqing had known since he was very young that there was something abnormal about his face.

It was a beauty no human could possess. Ever since he could remember, it had brought him endless trouble, forcing him to wear a mask and sunglasses. He had no other friends or family around him, either.

Then his best friend appeared. As the only person who could look at his face without batting an eye, he nearly brought Jiang Shuqing to tears of joy.

But lately, he had noticed... his best friend didn't seem all that interested in being just a best friend.

Jiang Shuqing: Pah!!

[Reader's Guide]

1. One-on-one romance, both physically and emotionally faithful.

2. The golden finger is overpowered. A wish-fulfillment story about a delightfully unhinged protagonist, with plenty of snark. This is not serious literature.

3. Contains mild Lovecraftian elements, but it is not orthodox Lovecraftian fiction (important). Much of the system is the author's own invention, not orthodox.

4. Other pairings appear, but not much.

Theme: Courage is humanity's eternal song of praise.
