Who Says Childhood Friends Can't Beat the One Who Arrives Later [Quick Transmigration]

[Time-Space Administrator x Childhood Friend in a Small World]

Every book is a small world. The Time-Space Administration's job is to fix bugs and keep these small worlds running smoothly.

As a veteran employee of the Administration, Wen Huai takes over a colleague's mess after they fall into a coma due to a system malfunction. He inherits their script: "The Childhood Friend Can't Beat the Fated One."

It's a series of novels, and each story has a fated one with a natural aura who makes the protagonist lose their senses and distance themselves from their childhood friend. The childhood friend gradually turns into a vicious villain and meets a tragic end.

Wen Huai's mission is to play these protagonists, dump their childhood friends, and get together with the fated ones.

System: "You're supposed to play a cool, aloof heartthrob and flirt with your childhood friend..."

Wen Huai: "Got it. Keep him on the hook."

System: "After meeting the fated one, you discover what love is, but he couldn't care less about you..."

Wen Huai: "Got it. Fall for someone else, then become a pathetic simp."

System: "Your childhood friend can't accept it and goes after the fated one. You're heartbroken..."

Wen Huai: "Got it. Find an excuse for being a jerk."

The System is reassured. A veteran employee can always be counted on.

In the first world, Wen Huai becomes a heartthrob at school. Just as he's about to follow the plot, his childhood friend appears with a lovingly prepared breakfast, smiling brightly.

Wen Huai: How can I treat such a cute childhood friend like trash?!

He tosses aside the roses he prepared for the fated one and shares a sweet breakfast with his childhood friend.

System: "What are you doing??"

Wen Huai: "Falling for someone else."

System: "...You're supposed to fall for the fated one!"

In the second world, Wen Huai becomes a noble heir in ancient times. The fated one makes a subtle advance, but Wen Huai turns away expressionlessly and takes his childhood friend, a young guard, to browse the market.

System: "What are you doing???"

Wen Huai: "Keeping him on the hook."

System: "...You're supposed to keep your childhood friend on the hook!"

In the third world, Wen Huai becomes the leader of an unpopular group. In front of everyone, he takes his childhood friend and fellow group member by the hand.

The fated one is furious. "You're going to stay a flop with him forever?"

Wen Huai: "This is exactly the kind of life I like."

System: "W-what are you doing now???"

Wen Huai: "Finding an excuse for being a jerk."

The fourth world...

The fifth world...

After completing every storyline, Wen Huai returns to the Time-Space Administration and finds that his unfortunate colleague, Ji Liuguang, has woken up.

The first thing Ji Liuguang asks him is, "Why did you choose me in every world?"

Wen Huai smiles and embraces Ji Liuguang. "Because he already has enough people by his side, but you need me."

Reader's guide: Both are devoted exclusively to each other, and the childhood friend is the same person in every world.
