It Takes Two, but My Teammate Is a World-Destroying Villain

From the first day after transmigrating, Ye Muyun saw a line of text before his eyes.

[Player 1 has joined. Waiting for Player 2...]

Ye Muyun: ...

What kind of bootleg co-op game is this?

Ten years later, Ye Muyun, who had infiltrated a prestigious orthodox sect and spent every day slacking off, suddenly received a notification.

[Player 2 has joined!]

[Starting up...]

[The game is about to begin. Have fun!]

Ye Muyun sent Player 2 messages, but never got a reply.

Could the game have given him an AI teammate?

[Beginner mission: Meet your teammate at the target location.]

Ye Muyun waited for an hour, but nobody showed up. He opened the game notification to see what was going on.

[Player 2 has died. Cause of death: Challenged a boss above their level.]

[Player 2 has died. Cause of death: Severed their own meridians.]

[Player 2 has died. Cause of death: Challenged an elite captain above their level.]

[Player 2 has died...]

Ye Muyun: ...

What kind of stubborn idiot is this?

After being sealed for fourteen hundred years, Shen Chihan finally managed to shed his corpse and reincarnate.

His new body was so weak it made him want to cough up blood, but that was fine. He could train it up slowly.

The more troublesome part was that his new body occasionally gave him visions and hallucinations.

[Player 1 has arrived at the meeting point.]

[You have died.]

[You have died.]

[Player 1 sent an emote.]

[You have died.]

[Player 1 sent a message: Are you an idiot?]

[Player 1 sent a message: If you're bad, don't play.]

[Player 1 sent a message: Scatter some rice on the controller, and a chicken would play better than you.]

Shen Chihan: ...

Heh. Once my divine powers are fully restored, I'll go out and kill this Player 1 immediately.

Notes:

1. The System mechanics are broadly based on It Takes Two and Split Fiction: as long as one of the two players is alive, the other can revive without pain.
