The System's Host Is a Big Shot [Interstellar]

[The Jealousy-Inducing Story Where You Cheat on Yourself]

"Young man, do you want to get stronger?"

The first time Chi Yan heard that voice, he was cornered and beaten until his head was covered in blood.

"Who... are you?" The boy stared in confusion.

After that, Chi Yan began living a life where, at any time and in any place, he could roll his eyes and switch consciousness in an instant.

This "other him," who had appeared out of nowhere, could do anything from sweeping the floor and cooking to fighting and swearing. With his help, Chi Yan went from a nobody who was constantly bullied to a big bad wolf whom others suspected of having a split personality. When he split, not only did his temper turn dreadful, but his combat power got a plus upgrade too.

Chi Yan: ...

With the "other him" pushing him forward, Chi Yan transformed from a pitiful boy from a barren planet into a specially admitted freshman at the Imperial Academy in the royal capital, racing ahead all the way.

It wasn't until he stood at the gates of the Imperial Academy and saw someone walking toward him that...

"What is it this time, Student Chi? Run into some trouble?"

The young man held out his hand.

Only then did Chi Yan belatedly realize:

The "other self" he had thought could not exist in this world was actually a living, breathing person.

Bai Jinya had enjoyed a smooth life for over a decade. The only unexpected turn was that his research had somehow sent his consciousness into another person's body.

Coming from the most powerful family in the Imperial Capital, Bai Jinya had, for the first time, seen another side of life.

He saw how the other person was beaten and bullied, rolling around in the mud and unable to hold his head up. He made a few adjustments and beat those people until they were utterly defeated.

He saw how the other person was despised and exploited by the blood relatives who should have been closest to him. So he took him along, stayed by his side as he slowly learned to let go, and helped him learn to leave his old life behind.

Bai Jinya spent eight years helping the other person make his way to him.

"Chi Yan."

"Hmm?"

The boy looked at him just as he had when they first met.

"From now on, we'll walk this road together."
