The Virtual Moonlight Lover Doesn't Want to Be Exposed

*

Yueshi Tonghua only wanted to make a quick buck through the virtual streamer boom to pay off his debts. After a month of hard work learning 3D modeling, he finally created an avatar of his own.

Based on what the market liked, Yueshi Tonghua made his first character: a white-haired, red-eyed, morally chaotic thrill-seeker with a slender waist and long legs, a high pain tolerance, a collar, and a rut cycle. A six-foot-tall incubus mafia boss.

Looking at the stunningly handsome avatar on his computer, handsome enough to make your knees weak, Yueshi Tonghua thinks, “How could I not get popular with this?” The next second, he appears in another world, in the middle of a gang shootout, wearing the avatar’s appearance.

Yueshi Tonghua: This isn’t the kind of fire I wanted!

His debut stream begins with a fierce battle between two factions. Yueshi Tonghua secretly decides that if he ever gets back, the first thing he’ll do is delete the files. Then he discovers that the boss’s thirty million yuan reward, deposited into his account, can actually be exchanged for real money at a one-to-one rate. He changes his mind.

Isn’t this more profitable than streaming?

[Crazed undercover agent Penicillin]

Before ever meeting Penicillin, Akai Shuichi had heard of the organization’s notorious mad dog.

A deranged sadist who likes to get himself covered in blood. Nobody who has ever walked out of his interrogation room has been able to return to a normal life.

That impression is seared into Akai Shuichi’s mind at their first meeting. But when they meet again, Penicillin hooks a finger in his tie and kisses him deeply.

The white-haired young man closes his eyes in satisfaction, the metal piercing on his tongue glinting.

“Thanks for the treat.”

[Swordsman Heroic Spirit without a Master]

As a curse drawn to the finger is about to devour him, Yuji Itadori steels himself and shoves the finger into his mouth.

A howling wind sweeps past, revealing a pale moon and a cold, imposing figure standing before him, silhouetted against it.

A long sword reflects the moonlight. The swordsman’s robes flutter, and his emotionless eyes fix on him.

“Are you my MASTER?”

A girl? A boy?

The monster behind him bursts apart in an instant, scattering over the ground like rain and mist.

Yuji Itadori can’t help swallowing.

The swordsman looks disappointed, then turns away from him without mercy, her graceful and beautiful figure disappearing from view.

“I was mistaken. Sorry.”

[A genius programmer with social anxiety (?)]

[A cleric office drone who works overtime until late every night]

[A pure-hearted, beautiful, poor high school boy working eighteen jobs at once to pay off his debts] (crossed out)

Yueshi Tonghua: Wait! Something weird slipped in there! The last one is obviously me!

◆

Thanks to his secret identities graduating and reincarnating, Yueshi Tonghua finally pays off the enormous debt his parents left behind. Looking at his beautiful avatars, he can’t bear to let them gather dust.

“Since they were made for streaming in the first place, why not...”

Free of debt, Yueshi Tonghua decides not to waste the avatars he already has. He starts streaming in his spare time, partly to reminisce about the old days. And then...

His secret identities are exposed.

“Saber?”

“How are you going to apologize for leaving without a word last time?”

“This is your last chance. I won’t forgive you next time.”

“I found you, Penicillin.”

Yueshi Tonghua: ...Help! Am I getting canceled?

Yueshi Tonghua: Wasn’t this supposed to be another world?

“Sorry, this time I really am graduating.”

◆ Reader’s Guide ◆

1. The secret identities may be retired. That’s what we call graduating. The next one will be even better!

2. The author is a fan of virtual streamers but hasn’t actually watched many streams. There may be some personal interpretations. If anything’s wrong, feel free to explain. I like learning.

3. The pairing isn’t decided yet. I’ll see how things go. There will be a harem, a harem of admirers, and a self-indulgent protagonist.

4. There are more secret identities than the ones in the blurb.

5. The title and blurb will be polished further, but the premise won’t change. Feel free to bookmark! The title may change often on a whim, so don’t take it too seriously.
