The Villain Is My Host [Infinite]

[The blurb may change a little before the story officially begins, but the main characters' settings won't change! Don't worry!]

From the moment his consciousness came into being, Worker 224 in the high-dimensional world dutifully answered the Hosts' questions as a human customer-service agent. Thanks to his excellent work ethic, the consciousness of the main world specially promoted him from human customer service to a System serving Hosts.

"Hello, Host. I am your personal human-operated System 224. I'll be helping you play the game from now until you clear it!"

224 thought there was nothing wrong with his assigned Host, except that he was far too innocent. The Host's "pure and sweet" antics often scared 224 half to death. He kept emergency heart medicine on hand and did everything he could to help his Host survive the dangerous games.

In a campus battle royale, 224's Host drew the role of a bullying victim. Not only did the NPCs dislike him, but the players targeted him too, sending him out to scout and test every deadly condition.

Ji Chenshi: It's okay. I'm used to it... I'm happy I can help everyone.

224 was furious and refused to accept this. Meanwhile, the livestream chat was full of people mocking his Host for being weak!

224 secretly spent points from his personal stash to get his Host some perks. "Don't worry, Host! I absolutely won't let you die!"

With 224's little gadgets, Ji Shichen did indeed scrape through to the end of the game. It was just unclear when all the surviving players had become 224's Host's only company.

224: Bad people get what they deserve! That'll teach them to bully others!

Ji Chenshi smiled faintly, looking at the bloodstains separating from his body as he was teleported away. "I was really scared. Thank goodness you were there."

In a competitive arena, 224's Host was ostracized and sabotaged by his teammates, and had to face the strongest fighter.

Ji Chenshi: "That guy looks so strong. I can't beat him. I'm scared."

224 cursed out Ji Chenshi's useless teammates while scrolling through the shop. Unfortunately, he was still a few hundred points short of the key item. He was so anxious he nearly cried. Such a good Host was about to lose because of those useless teammates.

Ji Chenshi secretly wiped the boss's head off. "Is this enough now?"

224: It's enough, it's enough! With these points, we can get a survival item!

In a haunted hospital, one wrong step meant being swallowed by the darkness and killed. Chenshi drew the worst possible role: a morgue attendant in the hospital.

Ji Chenshi: 224, it's so cold. There are ghosts all around me, and their cries are so scary.

Seeing his Host huddled in a refrigerated drawer to hide from the ghosts, 224 gritted his teeth and used his saved-up points so he could lie in the drawer with him.

224: D-d-d-don't be a-a-a-afraid, Host! I-I-I-I'm here with you!

*

224's Host was so weak that there was no way he could survive the games. 224 was determined to help him get through every challenge!

224 was forced to separate from his Host. In an abandoned hallway, the System, now in a human body, crouched in front of a player whose face was full of fear.

224 said apologetically, "Only one person can win this round. I'm sorry, but I have to protect my Host."

A gunshot rang out. 224 hurried toward the next area. He had to find his frail Host as soon as possible. His poor Host might get carried off by a wild animal!

Ji Chenshi bound himself to a System that claimed it would always help him. Ji Shichen smiled, unconcerned, and played the foolish System like a fiddle. Playing dumb while hiding his strength was his specialty.

But in the end, it turned out that Ji Chenshi was the one who had been caught in the trap.

224: "Congratulations on clearing the game, Host! We're about to unbind! Now you can finally make your wish come true!"

Ji Chenshi: "I want you."

A truly pure and sweet, selfless and kind, naturally scheming bottom × a fake fool, beautiful, unhinged top. (Two people with screws loose fall in love.)
