Synopsis:
#How Does a Socially Anxious Person Play Horror Games?#
Severely socially anxious Ji Heng says: Thanks for the invite, but no.
Late at night, Ji Heng was still helping a coworker fix some code when he suddenly died. But he didn't actually die. Instead, he entered a game world: The Extreme Horror Realm.
System: Welcome to the Extreme Horror Realm, a live-action interactive horror game. Players who successfully clear eight games can be revived in the real world. Thank you for participating, and we hope you enjoy making friends!
Ji Heng: Huh? Making friends???
A twist on Werewolf: The Impostor Train
System: Find all the impostors hidden among the players, or the impostors will kill you.
Other players: Who's an impostor? Everyone looks like one to me!
Ji Heng: Don't talk to me, don't talk to me...
Xing Jinyu: Hey, handsome, who looks like an impostor to you?
Ji Heng pointed at himself and muttered under his breath: Handsome? Is he talking to me?
Xing Jinyu: You're admitting you're an impostor so readily?
Ji Heng's thoughts: I'm not! I didn't do anything!!! Does this guy have a grudge against me?
Rules of the Strange Tale: The Town of Misfortune
System: Follow the rules, uncover the truth, and leave the town, or you'll be stuck here forever, or die.
Other players: What the hell, these rules are so weird! We're doomed. We have no idea how to follow them or what to do!
Ji Heng: Follow the rules, uncover the truth, then get out of here. Above all, don't run into anyone I know, and don't talk to me.
Xing Jinyu: Well, Ji Heng, fancy seeing you here. You got picked for this round too?
Ji Heng lowered his head, pretending Xing Jinyu had mistaken him for someone else.
Xing Jinyu came over and forcibly draped an arm around his neck. "Want to stick together? Safety in numbers. Come on, let's all go together!"
Ji Heng's thoughts: If you want to go, go ahead. Don't take me with you! This guy really does have a grudge against me!
Sunny on the surface but scheming and skilled at manipulating people's hearts top x seemingly aloof and highly intelligent but extremely socially anxious bottom (socially terrifying menace x social anxiety disorder)
Upcoming Story
Synopsis:
He Yanxing has a crush on a man in his department, a coworker named Lu Xing who joined the company two years after him. He's tall and lean, with deep-set eyes and an aggressively handsome face.
Since they're both men, He Yanxing is afraid of being rejected and doesn't dare confess. But the unspoken love keeps growing inside him. Eventually, He Yanxing starts following Lu Xing...
Even just getting to look at him a little longer would be nice, as long as he doesn't get caught. As long as he doesn't get caught...
"Team Leader He, why have you been following me after work lately?" Lu Xing asked, wiping blood from his hand as he walked toward He Yanxing, who was hiding in the corner of the storeroom. His steps were graceful and casual.
He Yanxing had just witnessed the entire process of Lu Xing beating up a debtor and even cutting off three of his fingers. His face went pale with fear. He lowered his head and stammered, "I... I just happen to be, uh, going the same way home."
"But isn't your home in the opposite direction, Team Leader?" Lu Xing raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile curling his lips. He lifted He Yanxing's chin with his index finger, his voice low and forceful, leaving no room for refusal. "Would you rather I gouge out your eyes, or spend the night with me? Which do you choose, Team Leader?"
"Huh?" He Yanxing's mind went completely blank...
Important note: They have mutual crushes, and the top is the first to lose his composure and make a bold move.
[Reading Guide]
1. On the surface, the top is an ordinary employee at a financial leasing company. In reality, he's the company owner's son, and occasionally handles debt collection that can't be done in the open.
2. The bottom fell in love with the top at first sight. Since he didn't dare reveal his feelings, he remained strictly professional at work, so the top hadn't noticed his feelings before he started being followed.
3. The story includes various scenes where the top forces the bottom to do things. Please don't read if this bothers you.
Theme: Believe that true love exists in this world
