That Pretty Player Is Still Missing [Infinite Flow]

This is the author's first book, and writing it was a real struggle...

I don't recommend reading it.

Blurb:

[The instances incorporate a bit of urban legend, but this isn't traditional rules horror. It leans heavily into Chinese-style horror. The protagonist is physically frail, a delicate beauty with a few tricks up his sleeve.]

As one of the players in an infinite-flow game, Shen Yu is beautiful and sickly. Even though he's quiet and not good at socializing, he still stands out in a crowd.

Because he's beautiful, even the game's NPCs take special care of him, despite his amnesia.

But because he's frail, when a god-tier NPC appeared that night and demanded to take away one player, Shen Yu was pushed forward.

.

Only then did Shen Yu realize that the so-called god-tier NPC was the same NPC who had looked after him so attentively during the day?

Realizing he might be about to die, Shen Yu summoned his courage, lifted his hands to cup its face, and kissed it.

He didn't expect that the next second, the NPC that was supposed to kill him would suddenly disappear.

After that, Shen Yu always felt that the NPC looked at him with something like... resentment?

Shen Yu: *smiles*

.

Later, in every instance, Shen Yu was taken away at night by an NPC who was human during the day and a monster at night.

Whenever it happened, the other players would say sympathetically, "That pretty player has it so rough. He goes missing every night!"

Shen Yu, rubbing his sore waist: Hmph.

[The world where only Shen Yu gets hurt has been achieved]

1: In a cramped storage room, tentacles wound around his wrists, ankles, waist, and neck, leaving him nowhere to run...

Shen Yu was extremely annoyed. He was dead tired, and now it was bothering him too.

So he raised his hand and slapped it.

It immediately drew back all its tentacles and, covering its face, awkwardly asked, "Why did you kiss me? You have to take responsi-bility!"

Shen Yu: You dragged me here just for this?

.

2: By day, the handsome, wealthy villa owner smiled as he wished everyone safety and good fortune. At night, he transformed into a monster with a three-meter-long fish tail and blocked Shen Yu's way back...

3: By day, the aloof, chaste high priest barely gave him the time of day. At night, he knelt before Shen Yu and reverently kissed his hand...

.

[Noble gentleman NPCs by day, lovesick monsters by night!! Not every love interest in every instance has a human form!!]

The full text of the other instances will also include a snake-man love interest, a white tiger love interest, a Ghost King love interest, a vampire love interest, a nine-tailed fox love interest...

A crisis breaks out within the Third World. The System of the Third World betrays it and flees, while the creator of the Third World grows even more unhinged

.

Shen Yu: How I kissed an NPC once, and now it keeps chasing me, demanding that I take responsibility...

NPC: I just want him to take responsibility, that's all QAQ

.

[Important: The protagonist kissed the love interest because he was very handsome, and because the protagonist had no need to worry about dying for a certain reason. He kissed him so he wouldn't miss out.]

[Shen Yu: That's right, I'm a sucker for good looks.]

.

[One more thing: The protagonist isn't treated well by the NPCs only because he's pretty. There are spoiler-related reasons I won't go into.]

Please note:

1. The love interest is a nonhuman fragment. The protagonist is a pretty, sickly beauty, but not an idiot. Happy ending, both are each other's only partner. The love interest is called Tu and first appears in Chapter Four.

2. A clever, sweet, sickly beauty who knows how to play people (he's fierce, gets prickly, and is very good at seduction without realizing it) × a love interest who wants him to take responsibility because the pretty protagonist kissed him once (a nonhuman love interest who can't get over the protagonist's peerless beauty).

3. The protagonist isn't stupid (important!), and he's good at using little tricks. He's sickly (very important!!), and knows exactly how to handle the love interest. He values his life very much. Almost all the bugs are foreshadowing!

4. It's more or less a story about "winning every instance with my good looks" (not really)?

5. There are some particular kinks. The protagonist will call the love interest all kinds of "Mister," such as "Mister Merman," "Mister Ghost King," "Mister Snake"...

6. The two of them stumble along, but everything is consensual. No coercion or nonconsensual sex!

7. The moon guided me as I wrote this, so please don't offer me other writing advice~
