Infinite Transmigration: I'm a Bit Player in Horror Worlds

Su Ku was an overworked office drone who had graduated three years earlier. After pulling an all-nighter to finish a manuscript, he worked himself to death and was bound to a quick transmigration System, sent to play bit parts in various horror variety shows, movies, and novels.

When everyone else was being hunted by vengeful ghosts, he was the only one holding a peachwood sword, grinning so eerily that the ghosts clutched their heads and fled.

During a game of Spirit of the Pen, he casually told the spirit to come find him in the middle of the night. He had a business deal to discuss with it. The spirit really did show up, only to be so frightened that it whimpered and scrambled off the bed.

When the System woke up, it was stunned by its Host's outrageous antics. It begged him to follow the plot and do his job as an NPC.

Su Ku insisted that he had completed all the assigned tasks, hadn't he?

The System looked at the Grim Reaper tied to a chair, then Satan chained to a pillar, and finally at its little cannon-fodder Host, seated on Satan's throne with the male lead's two saintly protectors standing behind him.

The System's sanity shattered completely. Sobbing, it cried out, “I only asked you to deliver equipment to the protagonist and be cannon fodder! I didn't ask you to drive the protagonist insane, torture the villain, and take over the villain's job!”

Su Ku folded his arms and said to the System, “Just tell me, did I finish the job or not?”

The System sobbed as it filed an urgent report in the middle of the night, requesting a new department and a new Host. The reason: He's crazy.
