After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away

free place for love, and gay marriage was common, it was only when dividing film categories for awards that straight and gay romance films were separated.

Although the Federation was welcoming towards same sex marriage, some other countries outside of the Federation were radically opposed to it, and even considered it a crime.

For example, in the novel ‘The Empire of Mo Ling’, although it had an interstellar background, the Mo Ling Empire was extremely conservative and close minded.
Same sex marriage was illegal and anyone who was found to be gay was imprisoned. 

When he was trying to capture Ozer, Ji Ning was always terrified he would be sent to prison.
What was more terrifying was that both he and Ozer were members of the royal family in name, meaning he had to call Ozer ‘brother’ even though they shared no blood.
This meant if he was discovered he would also carry the crime of tarnishing the royal family’s name and would be executed in secret to protect their reputation.

Recalling the suffocating atmosphere of that world, Ji Ning couldn’t help shaking his head.
Under such an oppressive way of living, the royal family became withdrawn and twisted until they were not much better than the ancient court world where Qin Ruwang lived.

On the other end of the terminal, the director was still speaking, “The script has not been finalised but it’s likely there will be kissing scenes, would that be alright?”

There have already been kissing scenes, you just don’t remember… 

Ji Ning smirked to himself.
He paused before saying, “Please give me some time to think about it.”

“No problem.” The director hadn’t expected Ji Ning to agree at once and just wanted to speak with him in advance, “After the script is finalised, I will send you the first few scenes.
After you make your decision, I will contact Gu Chen.”

 

Ji Ning agreed, then cut off contact with the director.

The afternoon passed slowly, but when it was finally time for him to rest, Ji Ning’s terminal made a buzzing noise.
The scenery around him melted away and he once again found himself inside the game, ‘Dark Kingdom of Heaven’. 

He knew it was useless to change to a new terminal.
What was supposed to happen would always happen…

Ji Ning sighed to himself as he appeared inside the mage’s tower again, wearing the intricate black robe of the Necromancer.
A handsome blond boy sat in front of him, smiling as he called out, “Teacher.”

When he quit the game, Ji Ning had been inside his bedroom, but now that he was online again, his position had changed.
Currently, he and the boy were in the library of the Necromancer’s tower.
To the left of him was a table piled with books, a few glass bottles filled with powder, and a set of elementary magic tools.

【You have successfully accepted Lai Sengers as your disciple and washed the light element from his body, opening the door to the dark world of magic for him.】

【Lai and his companions have been missing for half a month.
This matter has caused a large commotion within the Temple of Light and they have taken it extremely seriously, dispatching a large number of knights to investigate the town of Pidi and its surroundings.】

【You predicted this response and destroyed any potential clues that would lead them to you, forging evidence that demons were involved.
Unless the Archbishop of Light himself personally investigates, there is no one who has the ability to trace Lai’s disappearance to you.】

【Over the past two weeks, you have given Lai several tasks such as comprehending basic texts on black magic and undead summoning, learning to mobilise the dark elements in his body, and mastering basic dark potions.】 

【You have been surprised and delighted to discover that Lai’s brilliance is not limited to his magic and that his intellect and memory are equally astonishing.】

【The schedule you had planned for the next three months, which would ordinarily take a year to complete, was finished in two weeks.】

【Today you will begin to officially teach Lai Necromancy, beginning with primary summoning.】

【This is the simplest of undead magic and you hope Lai can be successful on his first try.
Therefore, you explained the method to him in explicit detail and carefully taught him how to use each of the magic tools, as well as how to mix the powders needed for the summoning circle.】 

【You request that Lai summon a simple, low level monster, such as a skeleton, a slime, or a ghost.】

“You can start.”

After a quick glance at the text that appeared in front of him, Ji Ning waved his hand.

“Yes, teacher.” 

Lai stood up with a smile, walked to the table and uncorked a bottle of powder.
He removed a small amount with a silver spoon and placed it onto a balancing scale to check the mass.
After confirming it was the correct mass, he poured the powder into a test tube and followed the instructions to stir exactly.

The simplest of black magics didn’t actually require any charisma when being released.
They were extremely boring and resembled a science experiment more than magic.
Yet Lai had such an elegant temperament and smooth movements that Ji Ning found it very pleasing to watch.

 

After the powder was successfully mixed, Lai picked up a long wooden tube with a hollowed inside and placed the head into the mouth of the test tube.
He pointed the tip to the ground and used the powder falling from the tube’s hollow to outline an intricate magic circle on the floor.

Lai picked up a small crystal from the table and placed it in the centre of the magic circle as he chanted an incarnation in a low voice.
Soon smoke billowed from the magic circle and spread into the air. 

What would he summon?

Ji Ning couldn’t remember what Lai had summoned last time and was therefore very interested in what he would do.

“Who calls for me?”

A soft and seductive female voice called from the cloud of smoke.
Just listening to that voice would create a haze in people’s heads and cause them to relax their guard. 

This was-

Ji Ning stood up just as the smoke cleared, revealing a female demon that stood inside the summoning circle.

To be more precise, she was a succubus, with a gorgeous face and sultry body.
With a single look she could arouse the deepest desires of a person’s heart and capture them, body and soul, making them obsessed with her to the point of madness.

When she saw the handsome blond and beautiful Necromancer, her eyes lit up and she said with a grin, “Not bad…” 

Lai didn’t seem to recognise what the succubus was, but could tell that it was a high level humanoid demon and startled.
Before he could react, the succubus blew a gust of pink mist toward him.

“Uh…”

A blush rose on his face and his breathing became ragged, even as he raised his arm to cover his mouth and nose.

The succubus giggled at his reaction and was about to blow a second wave of aphrodisiac mist towards the Necromancer when she was thrown to the floor by a hand made of black mist. 

“Go back.”

The Necromancer stared into the succubus’s eyes with a cold, empty gaze.
The succubus screamed in fear and disappeared into smoke, a gust of wind destroying the summoning circle on the ground.

The Necromancer rescinded his magic, but before he could check on his disciple, he felt a gentle pull to his sleeve.

The boy’s face was flushed, sweat beading down his forehead.
There was a faint look of desire swirling within his striking blue eyes as, panting slightly, he murmured. 

“Teacher…”

Lai might be a creepy weirdo, but the shameless way he’s forced Ji Ning into his teacherXstudent, taboo love, slash fanfiction is actually hysterical and at the very least I respect him for that.

 

Ah, I really dislike Ozer, but I feel vindicated because Ningning dislikes him too…

I can’t believe we’re on six protagonists already! I’m curious who everyone’s favorites are because mine are always changing, but I have a special place in my heart for Huo Wuling and Qin Ruwang <3
