Don't Come Any Closer [Quick Transmigration]

Nie Shu was diagnosed with an illness when he was young.

There was no cure. He could only learn to overcome it.

The doctor said it was called haphephobia.

He was afraid of being touched by strangers and couldn't stand them getting close.

He spent over twenty years alone, keeping to himself.

Then one day, a System calling itself 7426 appeared beside him.

The System told him to save patients with skin hunger in different worlds.

*

Saving them was out of the question.

To avoid getting attached to anyone, Nie Shu kept away from potential triggers to stay alive.

He even wished he could become invisible, so no one would ever notice him.

But for some reason, he seemed to have a strange buff, and Nie Shu discovered to his dismay

that even if he hid in the most remote mountain hollow, he always somehow managed to run into the unlucky patient with skin hunger.

*

Sunday evening, cloudy with light rain.

Nie Shu went out after dinner and ran into someone on a narrow path.

The patient beamed with delight.

"Hey, Brother Nie!"

Nie Shu recoiled in horror.

"Stay the hell away from me!"

Sharp-tongued top X duplicitous bottom

Their everyday dynamic:

Top: I'm telling you, you should do this, blah blah blah.

Bottom: Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. (Then does the exact opposite behind his back.)

Content warnings:

Top-focused! Top-focused! Top-focused!

Anyone with extreme preferences for either the top or bottom should stay away. I'm neither exclusively top-focused nor bottom-focused.

If you prefer stories that favor the top, proceed with caution! I write from the top's point of view not because I'm biased toward him, but because I'm rather strong-willed, and writing from the bottom's point of view feels awkward.

I'm naturally quite protective, so my top will protect his lover the way I would protect mine.

The top's personality is influenced by mine. In a way, he may indulge the bottom quite a bit, because this story is about redemption and the bottom has suffered terribly.

Please decide for yourselves whether it's for you.

Early on, the top has bipolar disorder and haphephobia. He's bad-tempered and fiercely protective of those he cares about. Sometimes he can't control his emotions and can be very harsh, but he'll gradually heal.

The bottom is calculating. He knows he's wrong, but he doesn't change. His usual attitude toward the top is: You say what you want, and I'll do what I want.

Sometimes both of these little troublemakers can be pretty infuriating.

Some of the small worlds have happy endings, and some have tragic endings. Not every world has a happy ending, but the overall ending is definitely happy.

If a particular world has a tragic ending, the bottom in the next world will be affected and become darker. So the bottoms won't all have the same personality, and there may be some variations, but they're all the same person.

One-on-one, both are each other's first and only.

Premise: Even if you're only holding on for a miracle that seems impossible, keep living and moving forward without hesitation
