Chapter 92.3 The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love

Chapter Title: We’ve got a wham bam shang-a-lang and a sha-la-la-la-la-la babe

Shot, like an arrow right through his heart. That was the pain he felt. He’s not the kind of boy who likes to be alone.

Du Ze was horribly alone in an alien landscape with two moons in the sky above and an ice crystal floor below through which he could see blue sky. What kind of messed up place is this?

He walked and walked. Then he walked some more. There was nothing around him in this vast plain for miles around. He walked for three days until, finally, he saw some ruins in the distance.

That was when Du Ze decided to get some rest. Taking out his constant, companion, that evil little yellow doujinshi, Du Ze started reading.

“But how would that work? He’s a skeleton! Does he even have… that?” Du Ze’s mind was filled with thoughts of banananas. Many, many 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌. Yum!

He spent days just reading everything over and over again.

“Why is the human form so vanilla? Tsk, tsk,” he muttered under his breath. A soft breeze ruffled his short black hair. Du Ze pressed on his headphones 🎧 with both hands.

Was that a sigh he heard? No, it was probably his imagination. After, all he was totally alone here.

Nonetheless, the creepy feeling of being watched by some invisible presence made him put his pants back on. But he didn’t stop drooling/reading the doujinshi.

“Kinda looks more painful than exciting… who knew magic toys could do that? Interesting.” Du Ze was becoming more and more corrupted by the evil companion of his. He had already turned into a fudanshi and was even contemplating using the ice crystal ground to draw a masterpiece of M/M fanart. 🎨 Or does each form count as one M? 8M/M … “Tentacles, yes, everyone loves that. And more fluffy tail action.”

Lost in a reverie, Du Ze failed to that the breeze was becoming stronger and stronger. The sound of someone sighing was also a lot louder now. Du Ze put down the doujinshi for a moment as he tried to look for a rock sharp enough to draw with. Suddenly, the wind became weirdly stronger and blew away the doujinshi.

“Nooooooooooo! Not that! Give it back… ”

Du Ze ran after his companion, frantic with worry. The book was blown quite far away, right into the ruins.

This was…

Du Ze gawked as the doujinshi alighted on top of a skeleton’s skull. At first he thought that the skeleton was a dead body but then it moved. He noticed that the there was an eight-tailed cat at the skeleton’s feet.

OMG! What the heck?! This skeleton… could it be that he had transmigrated into a story?

“You must be Ainz Ooal Gown! Wow, nice to meet you. I’m a big fan” <– what Du Ze wanted to say. Alas, his social barrier was too strong so all he could do was stand there with an impassive face, waiting for the other person to speak. 💀

(TN: Du Ze was mistaken, of course it was Xiu, not Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord.)

The skeleton took the doujinshi and started reading it.

“…”

Du Ze coughed and held out his hand.

The skeleton silently gave the doujinshi back to him. Then the skeleton reached into a pocket of his robe and took out… a knife!

No, just kidding. It was, of course, an eggplant. 🍆

“Are you hungry?” asked the skeleton.

“Actually, yes I am,” said Du Ze. He hadn’t eaten in days. But what was he going to do with an eggplant? Could this be eaten raw?

The skeleton seemed to realize this problem. Silently, he reached into his pocket again and took out… a cucumber! 🥒

Now that’s more like it, thought Du Ze. He took the juicy cucumber in his mouth and started eating it.

“…”

“Ahem.” The skeleton waited for Du Ze to finish eating before he spoke again. “Have you ever heard of the Undead Scourge?”

600 years ago, a Lich named Louis came out of the Lost Land, spreading pestilence, killing creatures, and forming an army of the undead. In that period, if the undead “ate” a town there would be no survivors. The panicked humans couldn’t stop the undead; it was like a natural disaster and the only way they escape the undead was to flee.

Therefore, this wholesale slaughter was called the “Undead Scourge” and the Lich Louis earned the title “god of death.” Because of the Scourge, the three empires lost nearly half their population and about one-third of the towns were destroyed. Later generations, regardless of where they came from, would pale when they talked about Lich Louis.

The reason that Du Ze knew so much about it was because the author had written about it in detail. In the original standard YY novel “Mixed Blood,” Yi Ye Zhi Qiu spent almost three chapters introducing the Undead Scourge and Lich Louis. At that time Du Ze was still very silly and naïve so he did not understand the author’s good intentions. When he read about the Moe Lord being arrested because of his relationship to Louis, the silly, cute reader finally understood his family’s author’s great lunacy – that introduction was entirely for the sake of paving the way for the Moe Lord to be abused.

Author, you’re begging for a beating! Q口Q
