My Eerie Family Won’t Stop Pampering Me

When Lan Yu transmigrated into a modern urban romance, the original owner was running away from home. Lan Yu immediately decided to see it through. Who'd want to go back and play a minor role just to move the plot along?!

Then one day, he opened the door to his rented room and froze.

.

A vast red-and-black sky and a sprawling mansion had appeared inside his ten-square-meter apartment.

A gigantic black thing sprawled across the mansion, so huge he couldn't see all of it. It reached out a rotting hand.

A little cake appeared on its palm, with a candle burning blue.

"Welcome home. Your parents prepared dessert for you."

.

Lan Yu stood frozen. What happened to the modern urban romance? Where was his modern romance?

Lan Yu: "What would happen if I ran away from home again?"

Parents: "Don't do that, sweetheart. You might as well die."

Lan Yu: "Gulp."

At a department party, Lan Yu said meekly, "My family says I'm not allowed to drink."

"You're the newest employee in the department. If you don't drink, do you expect us to drink in front of you?!"

Lan Yu hesitated, then had a little.

The next day, his department supervisor suddenly took leave for no reason. No one noticed that Lan Yu was just as pale.

The day before, Lan Yu had watched one of his brothers, a shapeless figure like a puddle of mud, follow the supervisor through his phone to confront him. The supervisor's shrill, terrified cries still rang in his ears.

.

"You got paid? Aren't you going to treat the person who introduced you to the job?" asked one of his few friends.

"My wages go to my parents to look after."

"Seriously? You're already grown up and they still control your money? You don't even get to choose whether to treat me?"

Lan Yu: "But I can ask them."

Three days later, the two of them left an outrageously luxurious restaurant.

Standing outside the hotel, his friend said, "I nearly passed out when I saw the prices on the menu. Can you afford that on your salary?"

Lan Yu: "I don't know. My older sister paid."

His friend stared at him, questioning his entire life: "Are you rich?"

Lan Yu questioned his own life twice as hard: "Maybe? Probably? I guess?"

.

Only after Lan Yu's real family came looking for him did he learn that the original owner's family wasn't a family of monsters at all.

Had he entered the monster family as the younger son's partner, rather than the younger son himself?

Lan Yu stared blankly at the shadow beneath his feet. His own shadow, his fiance and the world's shadow, drew a smiling face and placed it on the ground.

A menacing smile for its beloved.

Now available next door: The Closet of a Depressed Shut-In Is Connected to the Infinite World

Li Sen had been cooped up at home for ten years, barely making a living by taking online orders to rank up other people's accounts.

One day, while concentrating on a job, he felt a sharp knife pressed to his neck, drawing blood.

Li Sen: My phone password is 8888, my payment password is 868686. The front door key is in the basket by the entrance, and my ID is in the backpack hanging in the bedroom. Go ahead. Please make it quick. Don't leave me lingering.

.

After speaking with the burglar, Li Sen learned that he wasn't a robber but a participant from the Infinite World, taking a short break. Li Sen's room was a safe house.

Li Sen had planned to die at home rather than ever go out. "Could you at least be polite about it?"

.

From that day on, people came through his wardrobe every day. Li Sen simply ordered a pile of snacks online and let his guests help themselves.

Li Sen: As long as you don't disturb me while I'm gaming, I don't mind you coming over. But I'm out of money. If I can't pay for water, electricity, and internet, I'll die.

After that, the participants who visited each day paid him a little rent, sometimes in gold, sometimes in jewelry, sometimes in unidentified bones...

Li Sen exchanged it for money and set up a little convenience store at home.

.

One day, someone asked Li Sen if he was ever scared to see such dangerous people every time they came.

Li Sen: If I die, I die. I'm at the bottom of society, I contribute nothing, and I have no friends or family. No one would care. It wouldn't be so bad.

The person snapped, "We struggle so hard to survive, while you get to die in safety?"

The Infinite World participants beat Li Sen up.

.

Li Sen ached all over and could only shake his head helplessly. No wonder they were Infinite World participants. He had nothing but superficial injuries. They hurt, but they weren't fatal, and he didn't even need to go to the hospital.

.

The next day, a golden-haired, red-eyed little boy with sharp teeth, a frequent visitor, appeared in his room.

"Big brother, I heard you want to die?"

The boy laughed as he pinned Li Sen to the floor. Though he looked light, his weight was crushing. He deliberately pressed on Li Sen's injuries.

"Then how about I join you, big brother, and make sure you enjoy yourself to death?"

The boy was smiling, but his movements were rough. A chill settled in Li Sen's heart.

What was going on? Why was he angry?
