After Becoming the Digital Pet of My Straight Roommate

An adorable, spoiled little incubus in an electronic pet app, paired with a gloomy, devious straight guy.

Lu Shihui was born frail and sickly, and died young when his heart gave out. But when he opens his eyes again, he hasn't been reincarnated. He's turned into an electronic pet app on someone's phone?

[You have been bound to the Electronic Pet Conquest System. Collect enough of your owner's affection points to receive a resurrection bundle!]

Lu Shihui watches the person on the other side of the screen repeatedly drag him into the recycle bin. "Why won't it uninstall?"

The more he looks, the more familiar that person seems. Isn't this his old roommate, the one he never got along with? A blockhead and a stone-cold straight guy, and he's supposed to collect this person's affection points?

"Wouldn't you like to raise an electronic pet... Master?"

Pei Chen has always quietly kept an eye on Lu Shihui, the sickly boy in his class. He was even assigned to share a dorm room with him.

He hears that Lu Shihui's health is poor, and that he has to sit alone under a tree during PE class. Pei Chen secretly buys him a carton of warm milk from the convenience store and quietly leaves it beside him. But he never has anything nice to say. "You can even fall asleep sitting here?"

Lu Shihui angrily makes a face at him, but still picks up the milk.

Pei Chen thinks it's funny.

If it's so hard for him, maybe Pei Chen could take care of him.

Until he gets the news that Lu Shihui has passed away.

But do gods really exist in this world? If not, how can there be a little figure in his phone who looks exactly like Lu Shihui?

-

One day, Pei Chen's classmates suddenly notice that he's grinning at his phone all day. It's downright creepy.

Pei Chen taps the outfit button, and Lu Shihui instantly changes into a frilly pink dress. One more tap, and he's suddenly wearing a maid outfit with bunny ears.

Pei Chen pokes Lu Shihui's butt on the screen, and the little figure tumbles head over heels, completely out of his control.

It seems Pei Chen just wants to see the angry symbol pop up over Lu Shihui's head.

Lu Shihui is furious at being teased, but still has to follow the System's instructions and call Pei Chen in a soft voice: "Please don't do that, Master."

Everyone else just thinks Pei Chen is becoming more and more addicted to his phone.

As time passes, the affection points of the big straight guy Pei Chen steadily rise, and Lu Shihui suddenly discovers he has other functions too.

Not only can he move around inside the phone, he can even attach his consciousness to Pei Chen's belongings.

Maybe to get back at Pei Chen for teasing him, he starts making trouble for his owner all over the place: an alarm that mysteriously gets turned off, a water glass that falls off the desk on its own, a marker that starts doodling for no reason... Pei Chen was always doing things like that to him!

Who would've thought that missing the morning bus because the alarm didn't go off would help Pei Chen avoid a car accident? Or that the glass that fell and shattered would turn out to have been laced with laxatives by an enemy?

And then there's the time Lu Shihui tries to write "250" in Pei Chen's notebook to mock him, but loses control and writes "520," a love confession instead...?

His revenge hasn't worked at all. The affection points have only gone up.

He thinks everything will go smoothly, but then the points suddenly get stuck just short of the target. The System issues a warning: he has to use an incubus's skills to keep them rising.

But he's just a string of data!

Pei Chen, who has been "getting revenge" on him for ages, seems to have seen this coming. The package is opened, revealing a life-size doll custom-made to look like Lu Shihui. Only then does Lu Shihui discover the indescribable wickedness of Pei Chen's sense of humor.

[You may choose a suitable object to inhabit and turn it into a body, then complete the remaining affection points of your conquest!]

With a physical body at last, Lu Shihui is pinned to the bed, his vision swimming. The voice by his ear is full of teasing:

"Didn't you say you'd do anything your master tells you?"
