The Top Expert Is Pretending to Be Ordinary Again

[Scheming yet Sincere Hopeless Romantic Phoenix & Low-Key, Slow-to-Warm, Cool-Faced Cutie Powerhouse] The Special Incident Response Bureau, abbreviated as the SIRB, was established by humanity to deal with the strange incidents that keep appearing one after another. In a bloodstained archive room lies a top-secret file that cannot be altered or destroyed. Its contents are as follows: Observation Subject: The Weird Realm (formerly ■■■) Observation Level: SSS, possibly possessing an independent will Observation Results: This is a strange game capable of influencing reality. It randomly generates a number of instances and draws people from the real world to take part. People known to possess special abilities (currently, two types have been recorded: bloodline Awakened and Rule Masters) are more likely to be chosen. The instances lead to vastly different outcomes: Win, and the game is cleared. The instance disappears completely without affecting reality in any way. Lose, and the game is failed. The instance replaces reality, turning the human world into a banquet for monsters. Possible origin: ■■■■ (Note: Surely nobody can be so bad at games that they can't even clear one?) * Xu Jin was abandoned by his parents as a child. Cold and distant, he rarely spoke, and being forgettable became his defining trait. By day, he was an ordinary high school student who faced every exam like a battle, terrified that he might accidentally reveal his true ability and become the center of attention. At night, he was swept into a strange game called The Weird Realm in his dreams. There, he let loose, turning survival instances into entertainment, while a crowd of players chased after him, calling him “God Mo.” As reality and the game began to merge and strange incidents erupted one after another, his secret identity was on the verge of being exposed. To keep his secret identity under wraps, Xu Jin had no choice but to hone his atrocious acting skills and do his best to pass himself off as an ordinary person. So after quietly taking care of a monster, he pretended to be weak, leaning on the classmate who had just transferred into his class. When he ran into a teammate from the strange game, he immediately played the part of an ordinary person who had wandered in by mistake, then “accidentally” resolved the crisis. When his desk mate, a Phoenix-bloodline Awakened, was captured and taken into an SS-level instance, he... couldn't help but tear the instance apart and rescue an amnesiac enforcer! Xu Jin: “...Is it still too late to pretend I don't know this guy?” Wei Fan: “If we can't be friends, could we be lovers?” * Wei Fan was a Phoenix-bloodline Awakened, an enforcer in Jingzhou, and ranked No. 1 in the Weird Realm. But after an accident, this once brilliant prodigy became powerless, and his body regressed to the age of sixteen or seventeen. It seemed the only value left in his life was passing on his bloodline. To escape an arranged marriage, Wei Fan packed his things and went to a remote school. There, he met a little desk mate. The more time they spent together, the harder it became to suppress his avian instincts. He couldn't help wanting to show off his feathers, cuddle up, hug, and kiss, give all kinds of exquisite gifts, and, more than anything, coax the other into coming home with him... Finally, after being caught showing his feathers yet again, Wei Fan remained cool and composed. “Want to touch them? After class. Secretly.” Forget it, what's an enforcer's dignity compared to a partner?!!! Married to My Archenemy Against Our Will is currently updating! It's a lighthearted, sweet daily-life story set in an interstellar ABO universe, full of bickering. Check it out if you're interested! [Sunny, Strong, Outgoing Golden Retriever Alpha & Cool, Elegant, Dessert-Loving Persian Cat Omega] The Imperial Academy had two rising stars in this graduating class. Xie Xingsu, an omega and a model student in the Command Department, was beautiful and aloof, a master strategist who earned perfect scores in every subject. Hailed as a born commander, he was secretly the leader of the rebel army. Cheng Yuyun, an alpha and the top student in the Combat Department, was powerful, easygoing, and friendly, with a large following. He also excelled at his field assignments and was recruited by the military before graduation. Yet the two were widely recognized as sworn enemies. They had clashed from the moment they started school, becoming as hostile as fire and water. For four years, they openly and secretly fought each other, and their departments came to dislike each other as well. Then, just after graduation, their compatibility results came in, and the two walked away with a marriage certificate. Xie Xingsu and Cheng Yuyun could barely stand each other. They tacitly agreed to stay out of one another's way and treat each other with icy courtesy. But when news of their discord at school reached the Matching Bureau, it sent a mediator and drew up a plan to bring them closer. 1. Talk about your ideal type. Cheng Yuyun heaped praise on his first love, trying to make his archenemy back down. Xie Xingsu, usually calm and unruffled, curled his fingers unconsciously, the tips trembling slightly. Why did this sound more and more like the persona he had once used in the City of No Night? 2. Go out together. The weather was scorching, and Xie Xingsu, who couldn't handle the sun, was already dizzy after walking for a short while. Cheng Yuyun turned around and bought an iced milk tea. He let Xie Xingsu snatch the plastic bag holding it, but said, “The milk tea is mine!” 3. Life Simulator. In the virtual world, the two switched identities. Xie Xingsu was the highest-ranking authority in the military, while Cheng Yuyun became the leader of the rebels, reduced to a prisoner. In the dim light, the desperate prisoner launched a successful surprise attack and kissed him hard. * Cheng Yuyun had always known that Xie Xingsu was hiding a secret. He was shut out of it, never earning the trust it would take for Xie Xingsu to open up to him. Until, as his archenemy's legal spouse in name only, he was brought into a sealed room. Only then was he told that Xie Xingsu belonged to the rebel army, and that he had to fully mark him to put everything back on track. The price of refusing was losing his status as a husband, with no excuse left to get close to him. At that moment, the man who had always been cool and self-possessed, like a moon hanging high in the sky, was trapped in an ever-deepening abyss. He leaned against the wall, his long black hair loose, falling across the side of his face and down his neck. A deep red flush tinged the corners of his eyes, giving him a breathtakingly alluring look. But that allure vanished in an instant beneath his cool, clear voice. “Mark me. That's an order.” Theme: Even the light of a firefly can bring comfort to someone's heart.
