After Reloading Countless Times, I Became the Apocalypse's White Moonlight

"Mutation" is a challenging game with vivid characters, a high degree of freedom, and an enormous number of gut-punches. It’s famous for creating incredibly moving characters, then killing them off. In this game, “Villainy is the villain’s pass to freedom; virtue is the virtuous person’s epitaph” seems to be an ironclad rule. A teacher torn apart while protecting children, a doctor infected after failing to save someone, a police officer who lured away the zombies and left nothing behind but trails of blood... The game forums are filled with players wailing over one gut-punch after another. But Xiao Ning refused to believe it. He believed that good people get good endings. So, after repeatedly reviewing his runs and dying only to rewind time, he finally achieved the happy ending where everyone survived, after research so maddening it nearly drove him insane. At last, the gentle and steadfast characters got to watch the beautiful sun rise in the east alongside the player. Then he was transported into the game, to the place where it had all begun. But... Xiao Ning: Why is everyone looking at me so strangely? The doctor with a compulsive need for cleanliness clutched his hand tightly. The no-nonsense police officer placed a precious piece of candy in his palm, and the usually reserved teacher wrapped him in an embrace. It was as if everyone had changed from how they were in the game. Xiao Ning didn’t know that all the key characters retained their memories of his countless deaths and time rewinds, each one made to save them. With the dead savior’s return, everything started over. No one would allow the tragedy to happen again. Xiao Ning: Wait, I’m really not that beautiful and tragic! Everyone: Stare, He must not want to burden anyone. We can’t let him shoulder everything this time! * When Felix first met Xiao Ning, he thought he was just another damn human lackey. The barrier between humans and merfolk was even greater than the one between humans and dogs. But as the two traveled together, supporting each other and hiding their feelings along the long road, Felix suddenly began to doubt his judgment. The hand that should have looked for a chance to snap the other man’s neck seemed unable to move. An unspoken love took root. By the time there was no chance left to confess, regret and hatred had completely consumed him, as if his heart had been torn out, every breath tainted by the stench of blood. He wanted to unleash all his hatred, but in the end he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. A battered merfolk grows flesh and blood again through the love of his beloved, but will never be able to confess his feelings. Until everything starts over. Felix opened his eyes, filled with hope and ruthless resolve. He would build the most beautiful golden cage to hide his most precious songbird, never again letting him out of his sight. CP: Felix (merman). Their romance includes conflicting loyalties, salvation, faking death and going mad, and imprisonment play. That’s right, I’m still into this stuff. The protagonist won’t be put through angst. More or less a story about healing each other. [2023.09.13] Pre-release: "The Comic Book Villain Sticks to His White Moonlight Script" To keep living, Xiao Li has to enter different comic worlds, play the villain, then fake his death and exit the story. He must stay in character, but also needs to earn as much popularity as possible to secure his means of survival. So he plays multiple roles as one person, both putting the protagonist through hardships as a villain and helping him overcome crises. He earns popularity in several roles, then fakes his death and leaves. The living can never compare to the dead. The protagonist will eventually find the clues he leaves behind and discover that he played multiple roles. He will become the protagonist’s and the readers’ white moonlight. * There is always someone who bears a heavy burden, endures pain, or crosses a field of thorns, all for a glimmer of light in the darkness. He bears insults and misunderstanding, holding back the darkness and doing his best to offer others guidance and warmth. But only when it is too late to turn back does the protagonist uncover the truth. In the end, his name becomes an unhealing scar in the protagonist’s heart, an unresolved ache that readers can never forget. The male lead is a real drama queen, and might be a little crazy and a bit of a jerk. [2023.08.19] Theme: Never give up hope
