[Complete] [Chapter comments open] [Note: The top cross-dresses in Chapter 38!]

Escape to the Skies is an asymmetric 1v4 competitive "cat-and-mouse game." During the summer break, a major event shook the local ESL division:

Xiao Feichen, the star player of last season's championship team and the undisputed top "Butcher" player, announced that he was transferring and forming his own team.

Everyone spread the news like wildfire while speculating about which teammates this top player would choose.

Who could have guessed that after winning Butcher MVP at the world championship, he would immediately switch roles? "I've won enough Butcher championships. I'll try playing Survivor."

Everyone: ???

Even more shocking, Xiao Feichen's new team turned down the many excellent players who applied and instead picked an unknown nobody and several controversial players.

The online consensus shifted in an instant: If a team like this can win the championship, everyone else might as well retire on the spot!

Xiao Feichen: Who says I'm arrogant? The guy who named his team Eternal God has no right to talk about me.

Xiao Feichen: My team is a one-man dictatorship? What about our game's famous esports team, the Hengshui Squad? Come out and let everyone see you.

Xiao Feichen: I became ordinary after switching roles? Open your eyes and look at how many streets my understanding of the game puts between us. And I'm one of the best commentators after switching careers, okay?

Everyone agreed that, as the game's number one Butcher king, he certainly had the confidence to talk like that.

When asked about the team's youngest kiter, the usually irreverent man finally let the casual look in his eyes soften. His gaze was tender.

"He's my first choice."

When MI disbanded, Ning Weiyu, the team's cipher machine player, was still under eighteen.

His parents discussed going back to school with him, getting into a good university, and living an ordinary, peaceful life. The quiet young boy looked up with sparkling eyes and said yes.

His teacher walked him to the gate, and they agreed that classes would start the next day.

The man who had been waiting at the entrance took off his sunglasses.

"There's no need. He's got a job."

Ning Weiyu looked up. Xiao Feichen stood there at a slant, giving him a roguish grin that made him look like trouble.

And so appeared the player who would one day make every Butcher in ESL wary.

The former nobody became the all-rounder every team wanted.

Butcher king turned Survivor king, carefree, roguish top (Xiao Feichen) × played the cipher machine role like a kiter, so switched to being a kiter; ruthless and taciturn, quiet and reserved bottom (Ning Weiyu)

My Nemesis Is My Wife

[Love and hate, unhinged thrill-seeking top × cool, ruthless bottom] [Mad inside and out × cold outside, mad inside; mad dog × high-strung]

"Welcome to the Tower of Babel."

"The winners advance. The losers are eliminated."

"Kill your opponent, or be killed."

"The person at the top of the tower will have everything."

When Xiang Fuxue woke up, he had lost all memories of himself.

The good news was that there were two notes in his pocket.

The bad news was that one said, "Trust Meng Chenzhu," while the other said, "Kill Meng Chenzhu."

When they first met, Xiang Fuxue pressed the dark mouth of his gun against the man's brow.

Meng Chenzhu smiled, his hands winding like slick snakes over the fingers gripping the gun. "Darling, your hands are so cold. Would you like my coat?"

Xiang Fuxue said coldly, "You're already annoying enough to make me furious."

After a fight, Xiang Fuxue lowered his eyes to the man at the doorway, drenched in blood yet grinning wildly.

The man smiled brightly. "Could I trouble you for a place to stay tonight?"

Xiang Fuxue turned away. Meng Chenzhu got up happily, only to be kicked down before he could even step inside.

Xiang Fuxue casually tied up his long hair, his icy gaze fixed on him. "Get in on your knees."

"Have you heard of the bridge effect?"

In a sealed space rife with danger, Meng Chenzhu's eyes curved as his openly malicious gaze swept slowly over Xiang Fuxue's body.

Xiang Fuxue took a step back. Meng Chenzhu took one forward.

Until the gleaming tip of a knife pressed against Xiang Fuxue's smooth neck, a fraction of an inch from piercing his delicate skin.

Meng Chenzhu raised his hands in surrender, helpless. "I misspoke."

The gun spun in a circle around his fingertip before pressing beneath his chin. "My feelings for you aren't just a passing thrill."

Everyone knew Xiang Fuxue and Meng Chenzhu would eventually fight to the death.

But the man sat alone behind another man's tombstone, murmuring to himself:

"Weren't you the strongest person here?"

"Then why is your only relic..."

"me?"

Note:

1. A survival-based, infinite-level progression story with same-sex hatred. The top and bottom are both powerful and unhinged, with a love-hate relationship and a whole lot of twisted resentment.

2. A max-level expert massacres a beginner's village, but his teammates trip him up.

3. A nemesis is a nemesis. A nemesis can't become a wife... If he becomes your wife, you can no longer look him in the eye and frankly say, "I'm going to kill you." If he becomes your wife, all you can do is huddle under the covers together at night and fall into a bed of desire and love... So a nemesis can only be a wife... Oh, no, sorry. I mean... A nemesis is a wife.
