Using an Alt Account for Online Dating, I Matched with My Arch-Enemy?

[Main story complete.] [Next up: Welcome to the Hunter Game. Also on my upcoming list: Don't Ship People Randomly, Jianghu's Public Enemy. If you're interested, please add them to your favorites! Thank you!] After his main account was permanently banned, Jiang Qingxu, a well-known high-ranked player in Region One, had no choice but to pick up the low-ranked alt he'd left unused for years and start over. Before long, though, someone reported his alt for cheating. He was banned for the second time, this time for a mistaken seven-day suspension. Jiang Qingxu: ... I've learned my lesson. Please let me go. Unable to swallow the insult, Jiang Qingxu sent a friend request to the person who'd reported him as soon as his ban was lifted. The other person: ? Jiang Qingxu: I'm not a cheater. Jiang Qingxu: I'll livestream. The other person: And what does that have to do with me? Jiang Qingxu: One-on-one. I'll beat you on stream. -- Lu Chi lent his account for a game he no longer played to his roommate, who wanted to use it to impress a girl. The roommate lost every match, and after getting dumped, swore never to touch the game again. Curious, Lu Chi logged into his roommate's account one day. Among a flood of friend requests insulting his bad skills and calling him a burden to his teammates, one message stood out. [Moonlight on the Branch: I'm the hacker. Add me on WeChat and listen to my revenge plan.] Lu Chi accepted. A few hours later, he stared at his character, utterly helpless as the other player killed him over and over, and at the dozens of bright red death notices on the screen. He fell into thought. Lu Chi moved his fingers and typed. [Fish in the Pond: I'm done playing.] [Fish in the Pond: Want to queue together?] -- Jiang Qingxu had recently picked up a newbie in the game. The newbie wasn't very skilled, but he learned quickly and had good game sense. He was a great partner for dungeons and ranked matches, and they were more efficient together than Jiang Qingxu had been with his usual partner. But one day, Jiang Qingxu suddenly realized-- The newbie he'd picked up seemed to be Lu Chi, the sworn enemy who'd been at odds with him since childhood. -- This was the third time Jiang Qingxu had considered blocking Lu Chi's account. He'd only just made up his mind when Lu Chi sent him a message. [Fish in the Pond: Give me a hand?] [Fish in the Pond: I'll help you practice your new class.] [Moonlight on the Branch: ...] [Moonlight on the Branch: Invite me.] A cool and aloof top who's warm inside x a free-spirited, laid-back, scheming bottom 1. A pure-sugar sweet romance. Jiang Qingxu is the top and Lu Chi the bottom. One-on-one, no switching. 2. They're genuine rivals, with no secret crushes. At first, neither knows the other's identity. 3. The top focuses on damage, the bottom on support. Each has their own strengths. The game is an original fictional MMORPG. --- Welcome to the Hunter Game: Blurb --- * After returning from vacation, top data analyst Yan Xu received a secret assignment: reclaim the lawless zone known as Low Altitude Fall. Low Altitude Fall was a lawless place in every sense of the word. It was chaotic and had brought countless undercover agents to ruin, making them disappear without a trace. -- As the top data analyst, Yan Xu excelled at reading people and assessing situations. Whenever an incident occurred, he could calmly stay outside the crowd, evade one dangerous probe after another, recruit anyone who might be useful, and complete his investigation of the area. So Yan Xu never imagined he'd be tripped up by a bar waiter. The waiter pinned him in a back alley, a fountain pen only inches from Yan Xu's neck. The other man's voice was cool and quiet. "Sorry, sir. I didn't mean to stumble upon your deal." Yan Xu wasn't about to back down. He playfully lifted the man's chin and clenched the fountain pen pressed against his neck, his tone suggestive and dangerous. "What a shame. I didn't mean for us to end up in this kind of confrontation, either." He couldn't let his identity be exposed. And Xu Chushi, who had managed to survive unharmed in Low Altitude Fall, was no pushover either. -- Poison hidden between the teeth and mixed into a drink. A seaside railing that would give way at the slightest push during a stroll. Dangerous tests, and silent gunfire. The more Yan Xu encountered Xu Chushi, the more unfathomable he seemed. No matter how often Yan Xu deliberately approached him, covertly sabotaged him, or set traps, he couldn't do a thing to him. He couldn't see through his weaknesses, either. It was only later, when the two were forced to cooperate in a dire situation, that Yan Xu discovered-- Xu Chushi was afraid of the sea. -- According to rumors, the hunter ranked first on Low Altitude Fall's points leaderboard, codename 7684A, was a cold-blooded nightmare who would stop at nothing to complete a mission. Only Yan Xu knew. Xu Chushi would plunge into the deep sea for him, softly kiss his lips, wipe away the helpless tears at the corners of his eyes, and hold him close, his heart beating against Yan Xu's chest. A flower blooming in poisonous soil. The one who led him away from his nightmare. 1. Older top Yan Xu x younger bottom Xu Chushi. A data analyst with a smile that hides a blade x an antisocial, withdrawn former hunter. 2. Both are strong. One-on-one, no switching, and they're each other's one and only, body and soul. They try to kill each other for real at first, but later find their way to each other and save one another. Proceed with caution if this is a trigger for you. 3. A fictional setting with a cyberpunk feel. The relationship is expected to take a turn around the middle, with mind control and amnesia, but it won't be melodramatic. If that's not your thing, enter with caution. Theme: Games are good for the brain in moderation, but gaming too much is bad for your health.
