Forced to Play a Terrifying K*ller

[Completed]

Wei Jihua is a novelist who transmigrates into his own novel as its terrifying serial-killer protagonist.

He opens his eyes at a murder scene, a bloodstained knife in his hand, just as police sirens sound outside. At the same time, an evil criminal organization sends him messages demanding that he keep killing. If he doesn't, they'll kill him instead.

Wei Jihua: ...

The useless novelist Wei Jihua runs around in a panic like a husky lost in a pack of wolves. He can only rely on his acting skills, pretending to be a psychopath and hoping to bluff his way through. But maybe he acts too well, because somehow people mistake him for a highly intelligent criminal who kills by exploiting “coincidences”!

A high-ranking official who played political games and treated human lives as worthless dies in a car crash, just as Wei Jihua happens to walk by carrying a wrench.

Evil criminal organization: Well done! Perfectly planned!

Law Enforcement Bureau: Everyone, get ready! Dispatch now! This connects to the last murder. It has to be that terrifying killer again!

A capitalist who ruthlessly exploited people and drove countless families from their homes accidentally electrocutes himself at company headquarters, just as Wei Jihua happens to be walking past the main power switch.

Evil criminal organization: Elegant! So elegant! A model for the industry! A paragon of the profession!

Law Enforcement Bureau: Damn it, he's definitely a highly intelligent murderer! He's committed multiple crimes in a short time and even returned to the crime scene to taunt us! And we have no evidence!

And so it goes, again and again. Wei Jihua gradually becomes a god in the criminal world. People believe he has noble ideals and is destined to create a new world, and even volcanic eruptions and meteorites falling from the sky are blamed on him!

Wei Jihua: ?!!!

What are you people even doing?! I'm just a useless novelist!

*A lighthearted, brainless power fantasy with an actor-protagonist and a delusional-interpretation storyline. Lots of criminals will develop twisted obsessions with the protagonist (a kind of unconventional everyone-loves-him story).

*The protagonist has absurdly good luck, similar to the movie Final Destination. His targets die through all sorts of coincidences. Aside from that, the story has no supernatural elements, so don't worry about the logic. Just enjoy the ride. By clicking in, you accept the content warnings. No need to tell me if you drop the story.

*Please don't mention me under other people's works, and don't mention other works here. If you suspect plagiarism or think this resembles XX, take your comparison chart straight to the reporting center. Don't make baseless accusations just because you feel like it.

*The whole story is fictional and has no deeper meaning. The characters' values do not represent the author's.

Wen Zhizhuo is a game designer.

He wakes up to find that a terrifying world has descended, and the game he designed has somehow become an infinite-flow instance. Humanity must raise card characters and fight against those from other parallel worlds in the instances. Only by winning in the end can they redeem their home planet.

To ensure humanity's survival, useless card characters are put to a vote by all of humanity, discarded, and fed to high-star characters as resources.

Unluckily, Wen Zhizhuo transmigrates into the game he designed and becomes a lowly one-star trash card.

But... when the terrifying world copied his game, it seems it didn't completely delete his design permissions?

When other game characters struggle in despair and painstakingly explore the rules, Wen Zhizhuo knows everything.

When all low-star characters are held back by their level limits, Wen Zhizhuo passes himself off as a special card and, backed by the support of the entire world, evolves to the highest rank.

How can a card character make sure the “players” don't break them?

A mysterious background, overwhelming power, a tragic past, and a crowd-pleasing conquest storyline: all to win the players' affection.

Look at me... Give me all your resources, and I'll win for humanity. Step by step, I'll make you discard all the other cards and turn them into fuel for my ascension.

You can call me hypocritical and cruel, but I'm the chosen one, and I'm humanity's hope, whether through emotional comfort or fake love.

For humanity, I'll bear all the blame and walk alone into the abyss.

Let me... become humanity's one and only.

And then... take back our home planet.
