    Summary

    Alhaitham’s agency throws him into a livestream dating show. As expected, he rejects everyone. Rudely.

    “Name a key scientist involved in the laws of thermodynamics.”
    “Newton?”
    “What is your stance on Dialectic of Enlightenment?”
    “Dia-what?”
    “Name a philosopher. As an advantage, a dead one.”
    “...”
    “Next.”

    It shouldn't have been as surprising when someone finally snaps.

    “Do you even know the answers to these questions, or are you just waiting for someone to say Ibn al-Haytham to boost your own ego?”

    Or: The internet is privy to Alhaitham falling in love on camera.

    Summary

    When Hoyoverse announces they’re pulling the plug on Genshin to make way for Honkai StarRail, Twitch streamer Scaramouche is thrown into desperate turmoil over the game he's spent years on. He turns to his only way of cooling off- fighting the Raiden shogun, a weekly boss that resembles his negligent mother.

    But just as he’s about to bury his rage in battle, his game freezes. The Shogun stares through the screen, and he's suddenly stuck in the body of a background npc. The stakes are higher than he ever imagined, and this time it’s not just about winning or losing, its life and death.
    It's not Scaramouche and Raiden anymore, it's Kunikuzushi and Ei.

    And this battle? It's far from over.

    'Honestly, it's no surprise that Scaramouche's anger is the thing that gets him killed. He expected it, his mother expected it. What isn't expected, is what happens after.'
