Xiao Zhi has recently been obsessed with a game. His hobbies include raiding bosses, exchanging gifts with a gentle, shy, and breathtakingly handsome young man living in the Black Forest, going on dates, and leisurely strolls—life couldn’t be better. Then one day, he woke up inside the game, but it wasn’t the same version he remembered. Rumors say the ruthless, gloomy Lord of the Black Forest once had a lover who deceived him for wealth and affection before vanishing without a trace, leaving him waiting for centuries. The bounty for their capture remains active to this day. Xiao Zhi stares at the glowing limited-edition items in his inventory: ...Could that possibly be me? To survive, he has no choice but to forge his own path—beating bosses and trampling players underfoot—becoming the creator of countless legends across the continent. In the midst of chaos, a lone crown prince stages an unexpected comeback. At the most prestigious auction, legendary treasures leave the audience in awe. A lost city, vanished for millennia, suddenly reappears. ... Xiao Zhi: Yep, all my doing. And then—he's accidentally nominated as the top candidate to lead the charge against the Lord of the Black Forest. Emperor: Hero, the future of humanity rests on your shoulders! Pope: Vanquish evil in the name of light! Players: With a top-tier player joining this battle, victory is guaranteed. Xiao Zhi: Wait, hold on— Lord of the Black Forest: My life is yours to take whenever you wish, as long as you promise to keep my corpse by your side. Xiao Zhi: What the hell happened these past few centuries?! Give me back my sweet, shy guy!
