Sentinel bottom: There's something I need to confess. Guide top: You really pick your timing, huh? We just finished bonding—now whatever you say, I have to accept it. Sentinel bottom: Actually, I’m reborn. Guide top: Oh, that’s it? Well, I’ll confess too—I’m a transmigrator. Sentinel bottom: Huh? Guide top: The world we’re in is actually a book. You’re the villain, I’m the cannon fodder. Here’s the book—see for yourself. Sentinel bottom: … (*flips through*) Oh, this is my second life… Tch, the X Star rebels are so useless—how did they even get suppressed? The Y Country government is beyond incompetent, wasting all their advantages. And the Z Space Pirate leader—what kind of idiot betrays for love? Guide top: Wait, you’ve lived more than one rebirth? Sentinel bottom: This is my third life. Never expected to come back again. And even more unexpected… to have the luck of meeting you— Guide top: What about meeting me? Sentinel bottom: Since I met you, I’ve decided… to turn over a new leaf. The top transmigrates into a vain, lovesick cannon-fodder guide who, in the near future, will have their glands destroyed by a jealous admirer. But the real horror? He’s the only guide in the world with a 60%+ compatibility rate with the novel’s most terrifying villainous sentinel. Top: Hold on—the book never mentioned this! Wasn’t this sentinel supposed to die because no guide even met his minimum compatibility threshold? Villain Sentinel: That just means you were meant for me. I’m pleased—I’ll spare this planet for now. Top: … Note 1: Always 1v1. Note 2: The top is a guide but has a physique comparable to an average sentinel—reasons explained in-story. Note 3: Heavy AU elements; very non-traditional Sentinels/Guides. Note 4: Don’t like? Click away—no need for impassioned essays.
