The Min-Maxer Is Both Trashy and Strong

Player A is a hardcore min-maxer.

Teammates? If they mess up, turn them into materials.

Bosses? Trick them and loot their coins.

A gaming streamer has a crush on me? When he confesses, A acts shy. When he gives A gifts, A accepts them. A neither rejects him, makes a move, nor promises anything. As long as he gets dragged way down the rankings, A is happy!

You think the whole love-triangle mess is Player A's own fault?

Who cares about that kind of thing?

As a hardcore min-maxer, A only wants to chase power.

The next-generation full-dive game Beyond the Horizon launches its beta today! This epic fantasy world, which celebrates justice and courage, love and loyalty, takes a bizarre and deranged turn under the machinations of one iron-blooded min-maxer, Player A...

Player A's glorious achievements (and atrocious misdeeds) in the game are too numerous to sum up.

In short, he's the human hero who cleared the Sacred Tower first, the King of Coin Drops, a professional god-slayer, a ruthless capitalist, a demon's proxy, an inexhaustible show-off, a secret-identity addict, a master of turning the tables in desperate situations... and so on.

How did he manage to do all that?

Of course, it was all thanks to this scummy player's shameless tricks!

"I just wanted to have fun in a game! What's wrong with that? I only did what any player would do!"

But then the game invaded reality.

"Bro, what on earth did you do?!"

After the game world invaded reality, one day Ling Xie and his roommate were finally sought out all at once by Satan, the Demon King of Hell; Gabriel, the Archangel; Leo, the Lord of the Undead; the emperor of the Silverfeather Empire; and the captain of the Special Operations Department.

They all claimed to be A's close friend, lover, partner, teammate... and so on.

"My dear little raven / mother of the holy child / my lady / esteemed president / person of interest... come with me for a moment."

Reader's guide:

1. The protagonist is an iron-blooded min-maxer, forever teetering on the brink of disaster. He's a completely amoral scumbag with plenty of charm.

2. The protagonist has many secret identities.

3. The love interest is undecided. There are a bunch of powerful people he's screwed over, with all kinds of romantic dynamics, including but not limited to: sister-in-law romance, deliciously hateful co-conspirators, a fall from grace, gloomy obsessive men, a childhood friend whose future self turns evil, and a pure-love champion who's like a little sun... Multiple endings.

4. The general premise is [Mastermind Secret-Identity Power Fantasy + Full-Dive Game Invades Reality]. The overall tone is light and humorous.

5. I've rewritten the blurb a lot, but the story itself hasn't changed.

6. There are forum sections, including some chaotic crack pairings, but not too many.

7. Logic is dead. Everything serves the fun.

Theme: Have the courage to take on challenges and face life with a positive attitude.
