Love Game, Modified Zerg

A veteran game producer transmigrates into the body of a weak, pitiful, and helpless male zerg—Berkeley Lawson.

The system tells him that if he can’t collect enough love points within a month, he’ll die. “Recommendation: flirt with ten or more female zergs a day, or actively donate sperm.”

Lawson: “…?”

Flirt? Donate sperm? No.

Looking at this love-starved world where male zergs are few and female zergs are many, the workaholic corporate slave in him stirs.

Since love is the currency to clear the game, why not develop a dating sim instead!

That rip-off love-collection system? It could be his most powerful game-development cheat…

…

The dating simulation game Reunion Rendezvous bursts onto the scene.

“Game character [Euan]—a male zerg who lost his lover and has wandered alone across countless worlds. Frail yet determined, he picks up a blade and fights through 182 worlds, until finally… he finds you.”

With its unprecedented dating-sim mechanics, the game goes viral across the entire galaxy the moment it launches.

Forums explode instantly:

“Lord Euan crossed 182 worlds alone? Impossible! What is the Male Zerg Protection Association even doing?!”

“Other lords are carefully sheltered—only he had to wander… this makes no sense!”

“This is killing me! Tell me how to help him!”

Lawson smirks slightly and keeps the story coming:

【Peril on a Rainy Night】 – Euan is gravely wounded and sends a farewell message. Will you offer help?

【Sweet Treats】 – Pick his favorite candy to boost intimacy!

【Unveiling the Past】 – The truth behind their separation begins to surface—filled with unattainable longing and the pain of parting…

The players dance to his tune—now heartsick, now giddy with joy—throwing themselves into this grand, dreamlike virtual romance like parched earth drinking in rain.

Love points surge in like a flood, all pouring straight into the account of this “shameless” producer.

Just as Lawson is fully immersed in writing the next chapter of the story, his number-one investor—the notoriously cold-hearted interstellar admiral—sends him a message.

Investor: “When are you free? I’d like to talk.”

Lawson raises an eyebrow and types back swiftly: “Busy upgrading the engine. We can chat about the new story tonight.”

The other side shows “typing…” for a long time.

He puts down his terminal—but then comes a knock at the door.

Outside stands the admiral, just back from a bloody battlefield, his murderous aura still lingering. The moment he sees Lawson, however, he drops to one knee, takes his hand, and places a restrained yet burning kiss upon it:

“Forgive me—I wasn’t referring to the game’s story.”

“I’m afraid you’ll be deceived by false love… They love the illusion you created.”

“But in my eyes, from beginning to end, there has only ever been you.”
