Your Little Brother Is Fine, Now He's Mine

In Year 25 of the Xia Calendar, the game [Realm] went global, plunging nearly one-tenth of the population into a deep sleep.

When they awoke, Blue Star had undergone earth-shattering changes. Amid the countless lives that had vanished, the world entered an era of superpowers.

One of the few lucky survivors, Shang Rui knew that when someone cleared this bloody game, it wouldn't mean the end. It would mark the beginning of something even more terrifying:

A real Otherworld had arrived!

Shang Rui's greatest wish after being reborn was to protect his younger brother.

Abandoning his usual lone-wolf ways, he made plans, gathered talented people around him, and struck a partnership with the Xia government. Everything was moving in a good direction, except...

"Why are you mooching off me again? Is the Qin Group going bankrupt or something?"

His former rival, now a sometime ally, only smiled. His hide was thicker than a city wall. He kept finding new excuses to show up at Shang Rui's home every single day, even though they hadn't gotten along in their previous life and still weren't exactly fond of each other now.

Until one day, Shang Rui caught his scheming, cold-blooded, vicious (and many more unflattering words omitted) archenemy kissing his adorable younger brother.

Shang Rui: !!!

Qin Chen: ^_^

Shang Qiemo had noticed that the two men in his family had been acting strangely lately.

"Did something big happen again?" the adorable younger brother/wife asked, bewildered and worried.

"No, your big brother's still firmly at the top!" / "Nope. If there's any danger, I'll handle it easily. Don't worry."

The two men smiled at each other, sparks and lightning flying: They really couldn't stand each other, could they? See you at the training grounds in a bit!

Years later, the guild's finance officer had grown so used to the earth-shattering explosions that they could calmly pick up the phone, call the number at the top of their contacts, and report, "Oh no, boss! The two vice presidents are fighting again!"

Shang Qiemo: *^_^*

It's fine. The two of them will end up sharing the sofa tonight, then team up tomorrow to make up for the damage to the guild's finances.
