Upcoming top-focused anthology: How to Save Yourself After Offending the Chosen One. Blurb at the bottom~ Story blurb [Complete]: A power-fantasy System binds itself to a Host. Pleased with the man's good-for-nothing body, feeble inner strength, and notorious reputation, it tells him that if he completes his missions, he'll reach the pinnacle of life and become the greatest under heaven. The man is silent for a few seconds, then tells it, “I've already been the greatest under heaven.” The System checks his identity and discovers in horror that it chose the wrong person.

You're the henchman who stands by the villain's side and insults people on his behalf. You're the lover who betrays the protagonist to join the villain, then stabs him in the back in the cruelest way. When these chosen-one protagonists return at max level and start settling scores, the villain gets slapped once, while you get slapped eighteen times. But when fate conspires to reveal your respective endings to you, each of you makes your own choice. Powerful figure holding the reins: I'll deal with the protagonist first. Then the problem won't exist. Villain's henchman: Obviously, I'll switch sides and latch onto the protagonist instead. I'm a professional bootlicker!
