After Seeing the Comic’s Comments, I Turned My Cannon Fodder Fate Around

[System-Like Powers + Supernatural Abilities + Defying Fate + Mild Wish Fulfillment + Plot-Focused + Friendship-Focused]

[No CP, can’t change the tags]

On the last day before summer vacation, ordinary guy Lu Jiuxiao nearly falls victim to a Nightmare Spirit Beast. He only learns that his world is a comic and that he has entered a ten-second countdown to death when [live comment feeds] appear before his eyes.

Only then does he realize that he’s just an insignificant bit player in the comic, and the most he can do is provide the neighboring comic’s protagonist with their first challenge after entering the “Esper Academy.”

Lu Jiuxiao: Heh.

So he resolves to tear up the script of the miserable nobody destined to die from the start, rack up popularity, change the comic’s course, and set off on a journey to defy fate.

Comments: [What a handsome guy! Too bad he’s just cannon fodder. There’s a Nightmare Spirit Beast in the classroom right now. What a shame, sob sob sob!!]

Lu Jiuxiao: Got it. I’ll turn around and leave the classroom!

Comments: [Is he worried the school isn’t safe and trying to go home? But there’s a Nightmare Spirit Beast about to cause trouble outside. If he leaves, he’s as good as dead!]

Lu Jiuxiao: All right. Even if he has to jump off the building outside and die right here, he absolutely won’t take a single step off school grounds!

Comments: [Great! It’s the long-awaited Divine Cult arc… Wait, why are this Divine Cult and Xiao Lu’s powers so similar?? Could Xiao Lu be…?!!]

Comments: [If that’s the case… does following the plot mean Xiao Lu has to die…]

Lu Jiuxiao: ?!

Lu Jiuxiao: Right now, immediately, change the Divine Cult’s research focus!!
