The Sunset Is Dying [Infinite]

[This story was serialized over a long period, so the writing style varies between earlier and later chapters. I'll often fix typos and revise the text. The overall tone of the plot won't change. Feel free to point out bugs.] [Male-protagonist infinite-flow story.] [Main story complete.] [Blurb] On the night before the National College Entrance Examination, June 6, a voice descended into the ears of countless students preparing for the test. “Death has come to the world this very second. Are you ready to survive?” You have triggered the school scenario. Survive by clearing three instances. Overnight, the school became a slaughterhouse for evil spirits. Wails filled the grounds, blood painted the sky, and a place of wisdom and virtue turned into a living hell. Yan Liang was the famous campus belle of Experimental No. 9 High School. Beautiful looks, beautiful grades. The moment he entered an instance, the school beauty threw herself at him. He calmly pushed her away. Yan Liang was brief and to the point: “Sorry, you're ugly. No thanks.” Then he turned to the game NPC, who was breathtakingly beautiful, and said, “Hi. Want to sleep together?” Game NPC: ??? School beauty: ???!!! Occasionally erratic, aloof beauty of a top student seme x gloomy, reserved NPC uke Yan Liang is the seme. No bed-related weakness. 1. This is practice writing in the infinite-flow genre, with the focus on the plot. There may be logic bugs and continuity errors, so please point them out gently. I'll do my best to keep everyone's intelligence intact. If someone acts stupid, the author has probably lost the plot. There are side pairings involving BL, GL, and BG. 2. One-on-one, mutually doting, and devoted to each other alone. Both leads have character flaws. Don't be a seme stan or an uke stan. Let the plot and character settings speak for themselves. 3. Some instances use familiar tropes, so please go easy on me. Some instances are inspired by specific sources, which I'll mention below. Don't throw accusations around without cause. 4. If you don't like it, please stop reading before you waste more time. Please don't pollute the comments or make personal attacks. No need to tell me you've dropped the story. 5. One more potential dealbreaker: the seme smokes, but he'll quit later. Coming soon, another male-protagonist infinite-flow story: Don't Mess with a Psycho (If you're interested, lovelies, please add it to your favorites~) Blurb: [Male-protagonist infinite-flow] Player who grows increasingly unhinged seme x hypocritical, fun-loving evil god uke Lin Qing transmigrated. He found himself in a world full of ghosts and monsters, where he was mistaken for a discarded android and scheduled for decommissioning. To prove his worth, Lin Qing entered the arena. As expected, faced with a monster beyond human comprehension, Lin Qing lost. He lay on the cold ground, barely alive, waiting for death to arrive. Slow, unhurried footsteps suddenly echoed through the empty arena. The newcomer's voice was beautiful: “How pitiful.” “Should I save you?” Through his blood-blurred vision, Lin Qing saw someone. A face like Guanyin, kind and benevolent. A smile like peach blossoms, with a snake's heart behind the Buddha's mouth. His failing heart began to beat strangely fast. Lin Qing thought he might have fallen in love at first sight. Later, he thought: I have to make this person mine. After narrowly escaping death, Lin Qing discovered that he had arrived in a world where survival depended on clearing instances. It was a slaughterhouse for the weak and a court of judgment for the strong. Lin Qing's gaze settled on someone. It was all right. All he had to do was... catch him. Lin Qing said, “If you don't love me, you deserve to die.” Ji Jian Ci laughed and fell against him. “What should I do, Qingqing? I'm so afraid of dying.” “I guess I'll just have to love you.” [If you're interested, check out my author page.] Theme: With unwavering faith, you can overcome any hardship.
