    The protagonist is a weak seme (dominant partner), referring to the side stories and the main story which has no romantic pairing. The protagonist is world-weary, his only wish is to rest in peace underground, but he discovers he can't die, leading him down a path of seeking death. Ultimately, he deceives the heavens and the system, exchanging his fate with someone destined to die, thus disappearing from the world in their place. The protagonist is slightly popular, so you know what I mean, there's a bit of angst 🥺 (referring to the last dimension).
