A mysterious legend has been passed down across the continent of Baku. Two hundred years ago, the High Priest made a prophecy: a vicious dragon would suddenly appear on this peaceful, tranquil land, shattering the serene lives of everyone who lived there with its pillaging, burning, and slaughter. Only a hero who had passed the trials could defeat the evil dragon and restore peace to the continent.
Now, less than two years remain until the time foretold in the prophecy.
The hero has yet to appear...
The kingdom's little prince, Mu Yi, waves enthusiastically. "Me! I'm the hero!!"
The High Priest looks away, struggling to keep his voice steady, and repeats, "The hero has yet to appear."

The kingdom's little prince has golden hair like the sun and sky-blue eyes. Cherished by all, he is innocent and carefree. However...
He is a notorious scumbag, famous far and wide for being a heartbreaker!
The little prince was just eighteen when he first fell in love. With his golden curls, he fell head over heels for the captain of the knights and pursued him relentlessly. His eyes curved into a smile so sweet it could almost drip with honey, and under that onslaught of affection, they started dating.
The people of the continent of Baku cheered and decorated the kingdom with lanterns to celebrate the little prince's happiness. But as soon as three months had passed, the little prince announced their breakup.
The second time, it was with a cool, aloof silver-haired holy son, untouched by worldly grime. The people of the continent hesitantly offered their blessings for this romance, but once three months had passed, the little prince announced another breakup.
The third time, the fourth time... More times than anyone could count. Every relationship ended right on schedule after three months.
The people lamented: "That Mu Yi. He looks so sweet when he smiles, but... but he's a heartbreaker!"
So when Mu Yi declared that he had to be the hero who would defeat the evil dragon and save the continent, the people responded: "...We don't believe you."
In the palace, Mu Yi stomped his foot in anger. "Damn it! He must be cursed to break up with everyone after three months of dating! That's why this keeps happening!"

Mou Cen played a hugely popular fantasy game and got completely hooked, spending a fortune on it. The game had the classic premise of defeating a dragon and saving the continent. Its hero was a chuunibyou hot-blooded boy with flaxen hair who never stopped talking about "the bonds of friendship."
Everything was so classic that when Mou Cen saw the hero fall in love with the kingdom's little prince, he couldn't help finding it absurd.
Why is this a boys' love game too?!
The next day, Mou Cen opened his eyes in a cave piled high with gold and jewels, and found the situation even more absurd. A game interface appeared before him, showing a single message: Clear the game and you can go home~
Mou Cen thought it through calmly. Clearing the game meant defeating the evil dragon, and the first step was finding it. So where was the evil dragon?
He felt the horns growing on his head and the pair of wings sprouting from his back. His heart sank.
Oh. He'd become the evil dragon.
(I'll give it another polish before I start posting~)

Reader's guide:
1. The male lead is adored by everyone, platonically and romantically.
2. High concentration of chuunibyou dialogue (certain).
3. The male lead's exes are scattered all over the continent of Baku, but their physical intimacy goes no further than hand-holding. Dating is part of the game's setup.
4. A sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside little prince who successfully defeats the evil dragon and fulfills the hero's dream x a college student who just likes playing games and is shocked to find himself in a boys' love story
