[Fake Replacement, Mutual Pining, Reuniting After a Breakup]
"The Lingering Affliction" is a money-burning den beyond the reach of interstellar law.
Built on virtual technology, it makes wealth and status meaningless. The only rule it follows is this: the winner of the game has absolute authority.
The Alliance has expressly banned this kind of "entertainment," yet people still flock to it.
He Yiyi, who had yet to graduate from preparatory school, was accidentally swept into "The Lingering Affliction" and became a player in its "game."
His experience level was rated A, with a completion rate of only 3.3%.
With a face that belonged to a fragile, premium Omega in need of fierce coddling, He Yiyi drew a death sentence on his very first try.
None of the operatives, not even the inspector, expected him to make it out alive.
But not only did he clear the SSS ending, he also took out a psycho and blew up the boss of the round.
Inspector: ...
The Bureau of Supervision: We'd like you to infiltrate "The Lingering Affliction" as a player and pass along information.
He Yiyi, still in his school uniform, forgot to pull his hand away from the hole he'd been picking at in the seat: Who, me? No way.
The Bureau of Supervision: We found out you have a long-lost first love who's been missing for ages. We can help you find him, dear.
He Yiyi: ...When do I start?
The Bureau of Supervision: Great. To make sure you don't breach the contract, we'll assign a supervisor to be bound to you.
He Yiyi: ...
He could let his teammates suffer, but not himself. With the mindset that there was no reason to turn down a free Alpha, He Yiyi chose the most handsome one, like he was picking a consort.
The Flying Eagle Legion Commander frowned when he saw He Yiyi's choice. "His gland has a problem. Pick someone else."
He Yiyi licked his lower lip and kissed the isolation patch on the man's neck, taunting him: "What a coincidence. That's exactly my type."
During a hard-mode round of "The Lingering Affliction," the effects of an opponent's item sent He Yiyi into heat early.
The "bodyguard" who buttoned his shirt all the way to the top bit his neck and, as He Yiyi struggled, pressed his lips to his ear and asked again and again:
"Isn't this exactly your type?"
As he sank into the pain, He Yiyi wrapped his arms around the man's neck.
He had never told anyone that Yu Chen was so much like that person.
Yu Chen: I once stood watch over emptiness, forgetting the road that brought me here.
Until my little moon made a full circle and returned to my side.
The Alliance legions were bent on destroying "The Lingering Affliction," only to discover that it was merely a reflection of the interstellar world.
I saw the wickedness in all beings, but what I saw was only myself.
Reader's Guide:
1. A crazy bottom, absolutely unhinged.
2. A supposedly abstinent top (not really, he just looks the part).
3. Both are virgins, happy ending.
4. ABO and interstellar elements mixed together. You can read it as a series of game levels.
5. Lots of author-invented details.
Theme: Turn the tables against the odds and grow wild.
