Chapter 1: My Younger Sister Forced Me to Read a BL Novel

Yi Chuan was a straight man.

Having read Qidian novels for ten years, he never expected that one day he would be forced by his younger sister to read some nonsense BL novel.

"Bro! I have a mission for you! While I'm at summer classes, help me keep up with this book."

"This Author's writing is so satisfying! And they're a new Author, too! Remember to comment a lot and urge them to update!"

With absolutely no room for negotiation, his sister snatched his phone and performed a series of maneuvers.

An unfamiliar novel app, an unfamiliar bookshelf, and the only book on that bookshelf—"Divinity".

The only thing that gave Yi Chuan some comfort was that there was only one person on the book's cover.

Silver hair and silver eyes, a black mask and white gloves—he was so exquisite he looked like a synthetic human.

The name was correct, the cover was correct.

Knowing his sister had recently become obsessed with watching two men fall in love, he had been a bit apprehensive, but now he finally felt at ease.

But once he actually clicked into the novel, the synopsis gave Yi Chuan a head-on blow.

"Explosive Combat Power Beauty Uke"—these words seemed glued to his eyes, making them truly hard to ignore.

Although he didn't know how two men dated, thanks to his little tyrant of a sister, he actually knew what'Seme' and 'Uke' meant.

Yi Chuan closed his eyes, feeling a bit short of breath and unwilling to look further.

But at the thought of his sister's lion's roar, no matter how unwilling he was, he still braced himself and read on.

This story was addictive, but also ridiculous.

The novel's Male Protagonist was named Ning Fu Yi; Yi Chuan didn't want to call him an uke.

In a post-apocalyptic setting where Supernatural Ability users were scarce, the Author stacked protagonist halos on him. Not only was he born with dual Supernatural Abilities, but he was also the only existing person with an SS-rank Supernatural Ability.

Because of this, he was groomed as an heir by the commander of the Yuanguang Base, which bore the beautiful title of "Doomsday Lighthouse." Both his combat power and background were maxed out.

Did you think this would be a brainless post-apocalyptic zombie story that's satisfying from beginning to end?

Heh.

Having been dubbed "Humanity's Last Hope" since childhood, he was considered the person most likely to reach 3S-rank in his Supernatural Ability. To stimulate his potential, the base's deputy commander would drain his blood and bone marrow every so often.

The excruciating pain, unbearable for ordinary people, was enough to tear his mind apart. Ning Fu Yi hovered on the edge of mental collapse every time. Relying on his other C-rank healing Supernatural Ability to self-heal, he barely managed to endure until adulthood.

Male Protagonist, you're really hard to kill.

It's already the year 5202, and you're still using a 'Holy Mother' character archetype? Author, wake up!

His outward glamour earned him endless jealousy and hatred, yet in secret, he single-handedly shouldered countless dangerous missions and was separated from his parents for long periods.

On his eighteenth birthday, he was finally able to see his parents again, but he never expected it would be for the last time. In front of the commander's residence, he witnessed his parents being murdered. His Supernatural Ability went berserk, and he fell into a coma for two months.

Upon waking, he was told that his parents' killers had been executed, but that he had accidentally injured many civilians when his Supernatural Ability went berserk.

Because rumors spread among the civilians that he was the incarnation of calamity, agitators incited small-scale riots. To protect his younger sister, she had already been sent to Beichuan Base before he woke up.

Then, the'satisfying story' plot completely collapsed.

Once, while out on a mission, he saved a researcher from zombies, only to be backstabbed by them. The researcher turned around and accused him of killing the entire escort team that was protecting them.

The rumors that had been suppressed flared up again. More and more civilians began to look at him with eyes full of fear. The situation became increasingly uncontrollable, and the Ability User Association issued an arrest warrant.

The deputy commander requested an internal interrogation at the base. Ning Fu Yi trusted him and voluntarily submitted to the interrogation, only to wait for a conviction notice backed by 'irrefutable evidence.'

The entire city reviled him, and the people he had once protected viewed him as a monster. Even the citizens of the base signed a joint petition demanding the government execute this freak.

The nerve that had been under high pressure for so long finally snapped. Everything he had endured since childhood to protect humanity turned into foam.

He escaped from Yuanguang Base, deciding to head to Beichuan Base to find his sister.

But his transit clearance had long since been frozen. In order to enter Beichuan Base, he blended into a civilian Core Hunting Squad.

An attack by an Advanced Zombie resulted in the squad being nearly wiped out, leaving only him and a Mute. This Mute, for some unknown reason, actually had the audacity to boss the Male Protagonist around, without a single shred of kindness.

Yi Chuan was furious.

A protagonist as strong as him actually has to rely on a Mute laborer to get into the base? And this Mute is a character who's bossy, completely incompetent, yet dares to look down on others? Author, do you have to be this brainless when tormenting the male lead?

Fortunately, shortly after sneaking into the base with the Mute's help, Ning Fu Yi found an opportunity to kill the Mute.

That's better. Male lead, you should have this attitude of 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'!

But the Author wasn't going to let Yi Chuan stay satisfied for long.

At the hundred-thousand-word mark, Ning Fu Yi had just met Qi Zheng Si—his betrothed since childhood. Before they could even speak, he was found by the Ability User Association's Disciplinary Team. At the end, a hand pierced through his heart, and then the Author stopped updating.

They! Just! Stopped! Updating!

Ten days, and there was no sign of an update. It felt very much like the Author had given up after the plot went off the rails.

I suggest the Author change the novel's name to "Inhumanity."

Do you even see what you're writing? A child of destiny born with dual Supernatural Abilities, the strongest person in the current world, gets his heart pierced by a single hand from the Disciplinary Team? Is that logical? Isn't the male lead in the top tier of combat power in this world? And you actually dare to stop updating?

For Yi Chuan, these ten days were like years. True, while this novel was full of flaws and the plot was beyond ridiculous, he really admired this brother. He had a tragic past but maxed-out combat power, and he clearly had the potential for a dark transformation and an overbearing aura.

According to this trend, if the male lead later abandoned his desire to save the world and instead dominated it, swept away the zombies, and unified human society, that would appeal to him much more than those shallow, satisfying stories that are easy from start to finish.

Since Yi Chuan was feeling very miserable, he didn't let the Author feel good either. Over these ten days, whenever he felt upset, he would go and leave a bad review for the Author, questioning why they still hadn't updated.

If he could do it over again, he would absolutely never have agreed to help his sister, who was in summer classes, read this novel and support this ridiculous new Author she liked so much.

Yi Chuan lay on his bed, tapping heavily on his phone screen. Line after line of comments urging for updates filled the input box. In just ten seconds, he had sent five in a row—

"Even if you're taking a crap, you have to squeeze it out for me first!"

Just as he was about to send the next comment, his phone suddenly displayed a low battery warning. Yi Chuan hurriedly fumbled for the charging cable.

Unexpectedly, the moment his finger touched the data cable, a sharp, burning pain shot through his fingertip, as if a red-hot steel needle had suddenly stabbed into the point of contact. Then, a surge of electricity coursed through him, and his vision plunged into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness felt as if it were enveloped by cold seawater. Yi Chuan couldn't even feel the existence of his body.

"Ding-dong. True fan data stream detected. About to load the 'I Insist on Making the Protagonist Hate Me' Mischief System for the host..." A cold electronic voice rang out abruptly.

"..."

As a bookworm of ten years, Yi Chuan instantly associated this with the possibility that he had transmigrated into a book. He was very calm in the face of this situation.

Like hell he was!!

"Am I dead in my original world?" Although he really wanted to act steady, his voice still shook uncontrollably.

"No."

"Alright, then I accept... Huh?" Realizing this wasn't the expected cliché answer, Yi Chuan urgently retracted the words that were about to slip out. "I refuse to load the system! I refuse to transmigrate into the book!"

Nonsense! Reading a novel is fine, but what sane person would actually want to experience it? As a college student on summer break, lying in bed with the AC on and scrolling through his phone was where he belonged.

"Understood. Based on the principle of voluntary participation, we respect the host's decision."

"However, I must remind the host."

"If you refuse, it will be difficult to guarantee the vital signs of your original physical body."

"...How is that any different from being dead? This is a predatory clause!"

"If the host completes the goal, you may return to the real world."

Yi Chuan was somewhat speechless. What kind of 'voluntary' was this? It was like playing the erhu at a gravesite—complete nonsense.

"...I accept, but you have to tell me the goal is..."

"Received host's voluntary intention to transmigrate. Performing soul connection."

Before Yi Chuan could finish his question, the system had already impatiently signed the unequal treaty with him.

As soon as the electronic voice stopped, Yi Chuan's consciousness felt as if it were violently yanked from its original track, and in the next second, it suddenly plummeted at high speed.

Just when he thought he would keep falling like this until even his consciousness dissipated, an invisible hand suddenly grabbed the back of his neck, and his downward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

His whole body went numb, and his chaotic senses were violently pulled back in that instant.

He found that he could open his eyes.
