Gentle and kind, with a penchant for playing pranks now and then. Zhou Ye is so infatuated he’s lost his head, spending money on the game with the fervor of the most devoted fan. Thanks to his persistence, Noah slowly starts to warm up to him. Zhou Ye is hopelessly smitten, convinced he’s the only one for Noah. Until one day, he receives a System notification. [Hello, player! You have 50 affection points left to collect before you earn the [Ordinary Friend] title. Keep it up~] Zhou Ye stares at it for a long time. “How many ordinary friends like me does Noah have?” System: [Sorry, we don’t know.] * Anyone familiar with Noah knows he’s really just a straight, penniless little rascal. He gets by on his good looks and smooth talk. When he discovers he’s a game character, Noah doesn’t care. He just thinks, Great! If we’re all just data, then I don’t have to feel guilty about tricking anyone! The only purpose of all this data is to make my life a little better! When holding A’s hand, Noah: You’re the only one who’s my best friend. [Player “Simping Idiot in Love” affection +100. You have received 5,200,000,000 gold coins!] When B hugs him, Noah: Thanks. You’re the only one who understands me... [Player “Simping Idiot in Love No. 2” affection +1,000. You have received 10 rare golden items!] He opens the game interface. [You have over 100 friends! Congratulations on unlocking the “Friends Everywhere” achievement!] Noah (on the surface): What is it, my friend? (A gentle look.) Noah (in private): Aaaagh, this is unbearable! He frantically wipes his face until his skin and lips are red-hot, silently cursing these damn gay men. He secretly thinks that once he’s raked in enough money, ridden a dragon, and moved into a sky castle to live like a big shot, he’ll dump them all! *A Western fantasy game setting, a straight uke who pretends to be gentle but is really just greedy, beloved by all both in and out of the game Content warnings: 1. Lots of forum posts and player comments 2. Feminization 3. Unusual kinks - Upcoming novel: I’m Escaping as a Game Character! Yuling, a high-combat, high-popularity character in the game The Rules of Endless Adventure, suddenly vanishes from the game one day. At first, players think it’s a bug. But of all the characters to glitch out, why Yuling? Can they even survive a whole day without seeing Yuling? Sob! The players are frantic. They call the customer service hotline over a thousand times a day to complain, the topic trends rapidly online, and everyone anxiously awaits the return of the popular character. Then one day, they see him on a wanted poster. Yes, a wanted poster in the real world! [Citizen ID: Unregistered Citizen Name: Unknown Citizen Gender: Possibly Beta Crime: Robbery] The wanted poster in this high-tech society includes a hologram, capturing the moment he committed the crime. A black-haired cat-eared boy with a blue ribbon tied at the end of his hair runs off expressionlessly with a kitten he snatched from a passerby. He’s incredibly fast, just as you’d expect from a character with an SSS combat rating in The Rules of Endless Adventure. Before long, only his fluttering blue ribbon can be seen disappearing on the horizon. Players: ??? Yuling?! Our little kitty?! Baby, what are you doing?! Aaah - After leaving the game world, Yuling arrives in an ABO world. He knows nothing about it and has no idea how to make a living. Then he suddenly remembers what the game’s players used to do. They’d swagger into NPC homes, ransack everything, steal money and treasures, and even pet all the household animals without permission while laughing maniacally. Yuling thinks it over carefully. Seems doable. Three days later, Yuling, who has stolen a citizen’s private property (a kitten), holds up a public notice of his crime and spins around for photos, still not sure what he did wrong. Was he just not fast enough? (Reflecting.) - At first. “Fake, right? He’s doing a pretty good job. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to play along.” “My Baby is only perfect in the game!” “Yuling, who? Sorry, we’re top Alphas. We play mech combat games, not those lowbrow games for kids.” Later. “Baby, let me explain. I got home late because I was working yesterday. I wasn’t petting other kittens.” “Little Kitty Baby is perfect just by existing!” “I’m a lowbrow Alpha, a lowbrow species that goes into rut. Please punish me, sis...” Yuling: “?” Theme: The essence of gentleness is strength and courage.
