The Infinite-Flow Boss's Communal Life

My upcoming novel, "Everyone But Me Is a Villain [Infinite]," is open for preorders. Please add it to your collections! The blurb is at the very end.

[Unhinged, shameless seme x pampered, universally adored uke]

What would it be like to discover that none of your neighbors seem to be ordinary people?

Sheng Xiaosi had just rented a place. It was cheap, close to the subway, and the neighbors were friendly.

But in his third month there, when he got ready to go to work as usual, he discovered...

He couldn't seem to get out!

His residential compound had turned into a gigantic virtual world, and he had to clear ten life-or-death stages before he could leave.

Fine, then. He'd clear them. What else could he do?

But for some reason, the bosses of these stages looked more and more familiar.

Wait, wasn't that red-clad vengeful spirit standing in front of him the older sister from downstairs who had greeted him that morning?

She recognized him too, and nearly crushed the chainsaw in her hands.

And that burly guy hacking away with a knife looked like the big brother next door.

When the blade came down over Xiaosi's head, the big brother hesitated.

Relying on his neighbors' favoritism, he breezed through the stages with everyone, and the other players clearing them alongside him respectfully called him a hidden powerhouse.

But one day, as soon as he came out, that handsome man grabbed him.

The man gazed at him with a pair of deep blue eyes.

Xiaosi stared blankly at him, then pulled a piece of candy from his pocket. "Want some?"

The man silently took it and popped it into his mouth.

The next moment, a kiss tasting of citrus landed on the corner of Xiaosi's lips.

The man leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You're mine now!"

The bosses behind them glared at the shameless landlord, Ling Yuan, furious but too afraid to speak. They all cursed him under their breath: "Ugh, shameless old man!"

Fight and kill one another in the ruins. You don't know whether the person beside you is your ally or is raising a blade behind your back. No matter what, you must keep going and never give up until you see the path to the light...

[Stage Two: Horror Movie]

When you open your eyes, the world has changed. You are no longer yourself, and the people around you are no longer the companions you know. You are alone, searching for the truth and your friends while fleeing the clutches of ghosts and monsters. Only by supporting one another can you find a way to escape alive.

[Stage Three: The Headless Corpse]

A murder has taken place in City A, and the victim's corpse is missing its head. Your mission is to find the cursed head and put it back on the corpse's neck. A terrifying, baffling mystery slowly unfolds...

[Stage Four: Escape the Hospital]

[Stage Five: The Eerie Laboratory]

[Stage Six: Back to School]

Reader's guide:

1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other's first, happy ending.

2. The golden finger is very powerful, and there are lots of original world-building details. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

3. The uke is the pampered, universally adored type. He originally liked girls, but the seme turns him gay. It's exciting. Still, the uke graduated from a chastity class and has never been with anyone!

4. Mild horror with comedic, absurd plotlines. Nothing especially scary.

"Everyone But Me Is a Villain [Infinite]"

Blurb:

[Cool-headed, sweet-faced-but-dark powerhouse seme x silly, beautiful uke]

The apocalypse arrived, spiritual qi revival began, and the entire world became overrun by ghosts and monsters. Humanity was gradually forced to cultivate all kinds of ways to defend itself, and everyone lived for their own sake.

Chu Ruo was baffled. When spiritual qi revival came to other people, they gained flashy skills like thunder talismans and fire spells. But all he got was the ability to run fast. Well, he really was fast, fast enough that even ghosts and monsters couldn't catch him...

So when he first saw the man surrounded by a crowd, he almost thought he was a handsome vampire who had come back to life, and took off running.

The next second, however, the man grabbed him by the collar and tossed him into a room. So why was this man so fast?

"D-don't come any closer. My blood doesn't taste good..." Chu Ruo was on the verge of tears. He clutched his neck tightly, afraid the man would bite him right there. Losing too much blood could kill him!

But the man merely gave him a cool look, then told someone to wash him up and bring him into the group.

When a horde of zombies came rushing in, Chu Ruo stood safely protected in the middle of his teammates and was deeply moved.

He hadn't expected them to be such good people. Really, really good people! Especially that man named Fang Yan. He was the best!

But out of Chu Ruo's sight, Fang Yan grabbed a teammate who had been bitten by a zombie and was reaching out to him for help. With one hand, he twisted the head off the very teammate who had just been sharing food with him.

In this apocalypse, to survive, you had to become the most evil person of all. And Fang Yan was exactly that kind of person...

*

Fang Yan was among the first humans to experience spiritual qi revival. He possessed immense power, enough to look down on all things in this apocalypse.

Because he was so powerful, many people gathered around him. But their outward obedience couldn't hide the schemes in their hearts. Everyone wanted Fang Yan dead.

If you killed someone, you could take their abilities. That was the darkness of this apocalypse.

Everyone fought hard to stay alive, having to guard not only against the rampaging monsters but also against their human teammates. Sometimes the human heart was more terrifying than ghosts and gods.

But when Fang Yan saw Chu Ruo, as sweet and harmless as a little rabbit, his heart raced. He loved the clean scent about Chu Ruo, a scent untouched by bloodshed. It captivated him.

In this world where everyone was a villain, Chu Ruo alone was Fang Yan's only light.
