[Narcissism] I Travel to the Future to Save My Villainous Self

Ming Yue always has the same lucid dream.

In the dream, he exists in a strange world.

Technology in this world is highly advanced, and humanity has undergone [superhuman modification], dividing people into ranks and classes.

Those who successfully undergo modification become commoners, living in the outer tiers around the tower, inside the "perimeter." Those who fail become the dregs of society, living outside the "perimeter," where they are constantly attacked by mutant beasts and struggle to survive from day to day.

Aside from them, there are also the "tower nobles," who need no artificial modification. They awaken superhuman abilities on their own and are terrifyingly powerful.

The tower nobles rule this mutated world. They are lofty, mysterious, and at the top of the food chain.

In the dream, Ming Yue saw an ordinary person who looked exactly like him. His codename was "Demon," and he was the lowliest of the dregs of society, as insignificant as an ant. Yet he had a dauntless spirit that Ming Yue deeply admired.

For some reason, whenever Ming Yue dreamed, he would find himself by Demon’s side.

He watched him get bullied, struggle to survive, and search for food. He watched him fight with others and get beaten until he was covered in wounds, then hide alone in a corner and lick them clean.

Ming Yue could not bear it and wanted to help him.

Until one day, he could no longer suppress this desperate urge. Somehow, he transmigrated into the dream. To keep his face from frightening Demon, Ming Yue put on the [Crying Face] mask he had just bought and approached him.

Sensing someone nearby, Demon warily lifted his eyes, his whole body tensed, seeming ready to spring up the moment Ming Yue let his guard down and kill him on the spot.

Looking at the wary Demon, Ming Yue smiled faintly, took a chocolate bar from his pocket, and tossed it on the ground. Then he slowly walked away.

Hearing the wrapper being torn open behind him, Ming Yue’s eyes curved with delight.

As time went by, he and Demon grew familiar with each other.

"My name is Ming Yue," Ming Yue said with a smile, introducing himself.

He did not miss the faint surprise in Demon’s eyes.

"It’s not the Ming Yue that means the moon in the sky. It’s Ming, as in bright, and Yue, as in soar. It means soaring past the moon, staying quiet until the moment you astonish everyone." He explained as one normally would.

The surprise in Demon’s eyes faded, and for once the corner of his mouth lifted. "That’s a good name."

"What about you?" Ming Yue asked curiously.

"I... My name is Demon." Demon pressed his lips together, his expression calm.

Ming Yue had not expected anyone to really be called that, but it did not bother him. Demon was a pretty good name, too. Ming Yue’s favorite things to watch were all kinds of gore-filled horror movies.

Before every "transmigration," Ming Yue would always buy something to bring Demon as a little gift when they met.

Seeing the faint delight in Demon’s eyes, Ming Yue knew that although he never said so outright, he liked the gifts.

Demon always wanted to see what he looked like, but Ming Yue politely refused every time.

"The time isn’t right yet," Ming Yue would say with a mysterious smile.

Demon was disappointed, but he never pressed him.

Until one day, Demon disappeared, and Ming Yue could no longer find him.

At the same time, an extremely dangerous superhuman modified person escaped from a laboratory. Mysterious and dangerous, cold and arrogant, his codename was [Moonlight].

[Moonlight], the god of slaughter, the embodiment of cold cruelty.

He had only ever saved his tenderness for one person.

The darling he cherished most, his little rose, the only light in his life.

Even if everyone in the world misunderstood, betrayed, belittled, and scorned him, Ming Yue would always stay by his side and believe in him without reservation.

Because they were the same person to begin with.

I am not separate from you, and you are not separate from me.
