Blurb:

Jiang Zhizhuo remembers preparing for the graduate school entrance exam in the library. He never expected to wake up inside an infinite-flow world, much less find that his teammate is Ji Sining, the friend he'd grown up with and then fallen out with.

The result of being forced onto the same team:

A minor argument every three steps, a major one every five, and then they kill monsters together with perfect teamwork.

A walking corpse * comes shrieking at them, claws out.

Ji Sining (kicking it away): What the hell are you babbling about? Go on, make me a couple of dishes.

The stage's final boss * blocks every exit and eliminates all possibility of clearing the stage, then cheerfully comes over to watch them die.

Jiang Zhizhuo (pulling out Plans B, C, D, E, and F): Huh? What? Die? Me?

Teammates A, B, and C: Which one of you is actually the boss?!

-

They don't just kill monsters with perfect teamwork after arguing. They even kiss, then keep arguing after they're done.

System announcement: The stages are full of dangers, from illusion mazes and nightmare castles to endless seas. One wrong step could cost you your life...

Jiang and Ji: Kissing *

System announcement: Only twenty-four hours remain on the countdown. Please clear the stage as soon as possible, or indiscriminate slaughter mode will begin.

Jiang and Ji: Kissing * arguing * kissing again

Teammates A, B, and C + walking corpses + villains + bosses: Could you show this game some respect, please?!

Reader's guide:

1. Mild horror and rule-based mysteries;

2. Stages offer plenty of freedom, with multiple possible ways to clear them and lots to explore;

3. Both leads are strong, with a high-combat-strength, high-intelligence combination;

4. Younger seme, mutual pampering, lots of sweetness. Monster fighting and romance happen side by side.

Mini-scenes:

1.

What's it like to enter an infinite-flow world with a friend you've fallen out with? You still have to argue, but you can give him mouth-to-mouth, sleep beside him, and risk your life for him.

Teammates A, B, and C: Are you sure you're still just friends...?

2.

Jiang Zhizhuo: He grew up without his dad's love or his mom's care, and he's had such a rough life. As his older brother, of course I have to look after him.

Ji Sining, who is only two years younger than Jiang Zhizhuo: ?

Jiang Zhizhuo: He was frail and sickly as a child, timid, and afraid of ghosts and the dark. Now that we're in such a scary place, of course I have to protect him.

Ji Sining, who is 190 cm tall, has an eight-pack, and is lean in clothes but muscular without them: ...

Jiang Zhizhuo: He's always been sensitive and afraid of being alone. Wanting physical contact with me is just his way of feeling safe. It's perfectly normal. What's wrong with giving him a hug...? Wait, why are you taking my clothes off?

The next day.

Jiang Zhizhuo: Intimate contact releases dopamine and relieves stress. He was just scared by those things and feeling a little uneasy, so...

Ji Sining: .

Ji Sining: Shut up.

3.

Ji Sining: What do I do? I have so many twisted thoughts, but I can't bring myself to be too rough with him.

Jiang Zhizhuo (glancing at the hemp rope on the floor): If only he would tie me up...

Ji Sining: ?

Theme: Work hard to overcome every challenge
