The Entire Galaxy Is Forced to Depend on Me

Bonus chapters are being updated from time to time in A Story of Heaven. Thank you all for your support!

Wei Juechen, the Empire's decorative high-ranking official, has defected.

The interstellar fleet is ordered to capture the traitor.

The young general Lu Shiyan has earned countless military honors and despises officials like Wei Juechen, who are good for nothing but their looks and waste the Empire's resources.

Just as everyone expects Wei Juechen to be given a hard time aboard the fleet, Lu Shiyan, a man known for his iron-fisted methods, grits his teeth and escorts him back to his home planet, even fighting to get him reinstated.

No one knows that the useless ornament they see has spent ten years extending his influence into every corner of the Empire.

The energy supply and building safety of the underground cities, even the biotechnology capable of saving everyone, are all in his hands.

When everyone denounces him, he calmly reveals his trump cards.

He wants people to understand that the Empire cannot do without him.

"I don't need people to worship me," Wei Juechen says with a smile.

"I want them to rely on me, even if they look down on me and hate me."

-

Later, the Empire is destroyed, and the interstellar fleet becomes the only thing people can depend on.

Barely alive and having lost everything, Wei Juechen is brought aboard the fleet once again.

Lu Shiyan, infected with an unknown virus, stares coldly at him. "Mr. Wei, is this how you repay me?"

"A year ago, I was the only one who could save the Empire, so the general didn't kill me."

"Now, my blood is the only thing that can save the general."

Wei Juechen smiles brightly.

"I'm afraid you'll never get rid of me for the rest of your life, General."

A calculating, unhinged bottom who only cares about his career x a top with overwhelming combat strength who only cares about his career

Much later, they discover that the other has another name: "career."

40% cyberpunk + 60% space travel, leaning toward science fiction

1. The bottom has his own reasons for doing this, but he is a little crazy too. Basically, it's a story about someone using every scheme at his disposal to control high-ranking officials, save the human Empire, and ultimately develop a codependency with his partner.

2. I'm bad at writing blurbs, so trust the story itself. The top has plenty of scenes, but the early chapters focus mainly on the plot. One-on-one, happy ending. Even if the entire universe is destroyed, they'll still be together.

3. The final installment in the Human Creation Project series. Volume One: Collecting Boss Cards in Infinite Escape Rooms; Volume Two: No Surgery Allowed in Dungeon Runs. Read them in order to unlock lots of character and main-plot Easter eggs and get the best reading experience!

Coming soon: Winning by Pretending to Be an Idiot and Getting the Boss to Go Easy on Me

Everyone says the boss in this escape game is vicious. He seems to hate players so much that he kills them before they even get a chance to negotiate.

Nobody knows what he looks like, because no one who's seen him has survived.

But recently, something unexpected happened: an incredibly powerful player called [Falcon] entered the game.

Beating a boss earns you bonus rewards and an advantage in the next round, so the other players all assume [Falcon] must have gotten a reward from the boss.

[Falcon] never admits to having met the boss and never shares any information about him, but he clears every round quickly with a reward in hand.

In reality, [Falcon] has discovered a secret about the boss: the boss is actually incredibly softhearted. Once, [Falcon] pretended to slip so he could kill the boss when he came close, but the boss carefully helped him back to his feet.

Not only that, the boss kindly told him that the game was dangerous and the players fought one another too, so an idiot like him had to be careful.

Then he sent him on his way.

[Falcon]: "An idiot?"

Got it. I'll play the idiot from now on.

--

The boss has a secret: he can't remember why he became the boss of every round, nor why he hates the players so much, but he can't control himself from attacking them.

He thinks he must be an awakened NPC.

Until one day, he discovers that the idiot he keeps letting go whenever he feels sorry for him sneaks in to steal the "treasures" he has hidden whenever he's away.

The scene feels strangely familiar.

Suddenly, he remembers how he became a boss:

A long time ago, he was a player in this game, and the top-ranked one at that.

He always had an idiot teammate who wouldn't have survived half an episode on his own and relied on him to carry him.

Just as their team was about to clear the game, he suddenly died for no apparent reason, and later became an amnesiac boss.

Now, the more he looks at this idiot, the more he resembles that idiot.

Lovers who fight as much as they love across two lifetimes (crossed out) + a super-strong player in the first round x another super-strong player; in the second round, a player who plays the pig to eat the tiger x a ruthless, heartless boss

1. Their relationship isn't quite what the blurb makes it seem. It'll be explained later. They're simply made for each other.

2. The top's appearance changes after he becomes a boss, so the bottom doesn't recognize him.
