After a Straight Man Gets Trapped in a Dark Romance Game

[Tough, Optimistic Straight-Laced Bottom x Sadistic Nonhuman Top]

"Heavens above! I'll never troll anyone again!"

Lin Zhou is an ordinary male college student living an unremarkable life. But after an especially passionate rant, he transmigrates bodily into the famous romance game Crown of Holy Punishment!

Oh no! It's a dark, explicit BL game with an extremely high death rate!

System: Kill the main character, the saint, and you can go home~

Lin Zhou looks at the golden-haired saint adored by the people, then glances at the loyal knight beside him, sword drawn...

"...Is it too late to convert and become a believer?"

Worse still, every single character in this game is messed up!

The beautiful elf who teaches Lin Zhou magic gently wipes the blood from his face. "Run away again, and I'll lock you at the top of the Tree of Life..."

The white-haired, red-eyed twins look weak, helpless, and pitiful, but on the night of the blood moon, they knock him to the ground. "Big brother, don't leave us."

The bloodied little creature he once rescued on a whim regains its true form beneath the full moon and carries him away from the monsters' clutches.

Lin Zhou: Than...k...

The wolf-tailed beastman bites the soft flesh at the back of Lin Zhou's neck, his eyes full of dark desire. "If you won't agree to form a bond, we can always become one forever another way."

Lin Zhou: ...Fuck!

-

After all sorts of twists and turns, Lin Zhou finally returns to the saint's side.

He clings to the godlike young man and sobs. "Your Highness, those people are all terrifying. Please save me."

The saint lowers his lashes, his expression compassionate, and holds Lin Zhou tightly, gently stroking the back of his neck.

His deep blue eyes sweep over the monsters, who look wary and afraid. As they try to speak, he casts a silence spell.

"The outside world is dangerous, so you won't leave me again. Right, Lin Zhou?"

Feeling the person in his arms tremble and nod, the saint kisses the top of his head and smiles flawlessly.

-

Held in the saint's arms, Lin Zhou doesn't dare look back, even as the crest left by the twins burns on his body.

He watches the saint's shadow twist and warp, revealing an indescribable shape.

It is a monster that never appeared in the game's description.

"The outside world is dangerous, so you won't leave me again. Right, Lin Zhou?"

Lin Zhou trembles all over, his gaze icy as he clings even tighter to the saint.

"...Yes, Your Highness."
