Jiang Li was an apathetic college student in the modern era, and just as he was about to finish his graduation thesis, he died gloriously of a sudden heart attack!!
As a low-key old-school anime fan, he quickly accepted that he had transmigrated. But why was this transmigration nothing like what he'd seen in anime?!!
System: We are an open-world game testing system from the future.
Jiang Li: ...
System: Host, you will enter the world of a high-rated Xianxia BL novel, full of non-consensual sex and other cliches, and become the protagonist's long-suffering master!
Jiang Li: ...Wait, that's a lot of tags all at once! I refuse!
System: Host, this is a chance to be reborn~ Besides, ours is mainly an "open-world exploration" game. You can earn points by completing missions and exchange them for items you need in the System shop~ This includes the right to use and own your original character's identity, quest items, and so on...
Jiang Li: ...
Jiang Li: Fine... When in Rome, I might as well make the best of it!
Jiang Li met a little zombie in a mass grave.
System: Congratulations, Host, you have unlocked a hidden quest! Hidden difficulty rating: ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Jiang Li: ...
Jiang Li: That star rating is ridiculously high!
At the founding ceremony of the Lianshan Sect:
Jiang Li: "I hereby declare that I'm adopting him!"
Everyone followed his pointing finger with astonished looks, their eyes landing on a pale little boy who radiated cold.
The sect leader, his senior brother: "Junior brother... if you really want a son, why don't I pick out a few talented children for you?"
Jiang Li: "I want him!"
The zombie grew up. He had a secret, too: he ate people! (Literally.)
Jiang Li: "Oh my god..."
Zombie: "Father, you wouldn't want everyone to find out that you've been covering for me, would you?"
Jiang Li: ...
Jiang Li: "How did I somehow become your accomplice?!!!!!"
System: Host, are you sure you want to put the protagonist's halo buff you bought on credit on him?
Jiang Li gritted his teeth: "...Do it!"
System: Are you sure?
Jiang Li, on the verge of a breakdown: "Just do it! The mushrooms growing all over him are getting denser and denser and denser and denser, aaaaaah!!!"
The zombie, feeling refreshed after the buff was applied: "Father, I remember who I am now. Let's run away together!"
Jiang Li, who had always longed for freedom, readily agreed.
And so they set off on their journey...
Also known as My Research Project in a Fantasy World and The Many Ways Jiang Li Gets Bullied (not really).
This story touches on a bit of metaphysics. Since our System's game is still in development, please assess the information rationally (seriously).
On the surface: a sadistic, cold-blooded top who pretends to be harmless and then strikes x a chaotic evil, straight-as-an-arrow receiver
In reality: a carefree top with separation anxiety and an M streak (maybe) x a receiver who says one thing but means another, is on the verge of a mental breakdown, and knows how to train a dog
Note:
○ The top appears later in the story
○ Mainly told from the receiver's perspective
○ Not an orgy story; the top and receiver are exclusive to each other
○ The top has some extreme content. If that's not your thing, please steer clear (bows)
Theme: Life is like a game. Playing at life is the happiest way to live~
