The NPC Flirts Without Knowing It [Infinite]

[A beauty with a teasing, dog-training charm who accidentally tames people × a shape-shifting, unhinged killer who’s a master of putting on an act]

[Instances "The Puppet Troupe" and "Twelve Springwind Towers" complete, plenty of chapters to binge]

As the key NPC in the instance "The Sin of Beauty", Yin Ci is designed by the rules to be stunningly beautiful, with snow-white skin, slender shoulders and waist, and a sensitive constitution.

He keeps attracting different kinds of perverts in different places and at different times.

This is meant to bring his story of being ostracized and bullied, then eventually turning evil, to life all the better.

Across worlds that restart again and again, Yin Ci calmly follows his storyline, quietly using the players who enter to fulfill one wish after another.

Just as he thinks his life will end in this endless cycle, his instance collapses, and he becomes a player who steps into the real world.

Yin Ci: ...

He tells the System, which has just bound itself to him, what he wants as a newbie reward:

“Eight-pack abs and a broad chest, thick body hair and a full beard, skin so dark and shiny it’ll never tan lighter, and enough strength to kill a bull with one punch.”

System: “...”

The first time Qin Du sees Yin Ci, he gives him a sidelong look full of disdain: Useless pretty boy. Stay away from me.

The nth time Qin Du sees Yin Ci, he does whatever Yin Ci tells him, says east instead of west: Baby, you tell me. Who should I kill next?

Everyone says Yin Ci uses his beauty to get away with murder, manipulating people as easily as dogs and making the big shots lose their heads. He can get them to do the most unbelievable things.

But he has no idea he’s doing it.

After all, he’s just looking for the right knife to use. One knife for each instance, and a new instance means a new knife. That’s perfectly normal, isn’t it?

He just can’t figure out why more and more people are calling him a player.

In the infinite game that has brought all of humanity online, the abyss of death follows like a shadow. Anyone could be the next string of data to disappear.

Everyone is anxious and afraid.

Yin Ci walks through a hell where every step is on the edge of a blade, feeling his own fear and that of others, and facing death, twists, and thrills at every turn.

He is so glad he came to this real world.

[Reading Guide]

1. The protagonist is not weak and can protect himself. He grows stronger as the story progresses.

2. The protagonist has a crowd-pleaser quality. There’s a touch of ensemble cast, and the instances are a little scary (probably).

3. The livestreaming element begins in the second instance, but it doesn’t take up much space.

Blurb for the new novel *No Cuddling, No Sucking Without Permission*

[Beautiful, tragic, gentle protagonist who attracts garbage men × a fragile, helpless, master-of-seduction top]

Yun Huai feels like the world is ending.

He’s about to go crazy, too.

A three-eyed rabbit chews on an unknown object along the road he takes home from work. A spider with a beautiful human face weaves gorgeous clothes from its web. A bipedal rat skates past at high speed, wearing headphones...

He returns home with his heart close to breaking, only to find himself staring into the eyes of a naked man.

Aaaaaah! My eyes are tainted! I have to gouge them out!

Wait, no. He’s actually pretty good-looking. Let me take another look.

Better-looking than his ex, his ex-ex, his ex-ex-ex, and his ex-ex-ex-ex!

Earth’s space becomes distorted. The barrier between the normal world where humans live and the supernatural world inhabited by spirits and monsters disappears. The two worlds merge, and mystics, spirit beings, great demons, evil ghosts, and tainted creatures appear one after another. Society is turned upside down, and Earth’s post-apocalyptic era officially begins.

Yun Huai, who is afraid of ghosts, demons, and monsters, reaches the darkest moment of his otherwise ordinary life:

His unusual constitution makes him fatally attractive to abnormal people and entities in this absurd world.

One sniff clears the mind; one touch restores your energy; one lick cures every disease; one bite grants immortality!

Yun Huai: “...”

You don’t actually believe something that ridiculous, do you?

The rumor that he’s Tang Sanzang’s flesh makes Yun Huai’s life miserable. Humans and creatures from the other world all eye him hungrily, and even when he struggles to survive in the cracks between the two worlds, he can’t escape the endless harassment.

That includes the scumbags who abandoned him for someone else before the apocalypse. They’ve all shown up again, each trying to use their power and status to force him to submit, claiming they’ve never stopped loving him and that they had their reasons for everything they did.

Ha! What kind of lousy excuse is that?

The world is so unfair. The apocalypse has arrived, and every scumbag he dated has become a powerful big shot, while he’s still a nobody who can barely scrape together enough money to make ends meet.

At least he still has an even more miserable little darling by his side, there to provide some emotional support.

But his lazy life of growing flowers and vegetables, keeping pets, and reading novels is over for good.

He decides to rise to the challenge and rely on himself to trample all his exes beneath his feet, leaving them with nothing to do but gaze up at the soles of his noble shoes.

Those scumbag brats don’t deserve to look at me.

At the same time, his body begins to change in a way unlike that of other humans. Every night, gorgeous wings of light emit a brilliant shimmer, drawing countless eager beings to him.

Fireflies chase the light.

He is the light.

Reading Guide:

1. Supernatural post-apocalypse, a little farming, a little mysticism.

2. A melodramatic battle for one man’s affections. Scumbag tops won’t get back together with him; they’ll only get a face-slapping reckoning.
