A Guide to Gravity-Based Roleplay

After He Guang gets bound to the "Side Character Comeback System," he's forced to enter a hot-blooded shonen manga that was axed before its ending, playing a nameless background character.

How can he make a comeback from a background character to a fan-favorite? And how can he turn the original, prematurely axed story into a wildly popular manga full of twists and fiery excitement?

Old-school otaku He Guang has his own answer.

"Obviously, by playing a gravity-type character!"

Whether it's a meek, timid, loyal-dog type who has never seen sunlight and would give his life for just a little warmth...

Or an aloof, cold, gloomy type who, once he's set his heart on someone, will never let go even in death...

Or a sunny, devoted type, whose dazzling, sunlike appearance conceals a terrifyingly heavy love that could leave someone feeling smothered...

He Guang: "I can do all of them!"

System: "How are you planning to play a gravity-type character?"

"Obviously..."

"I'll give him everything, become an irreplaceable part of his life, then betray him brutally and leave without hesitation, letting him see me as a disgusting person he can hate with all his heart."

"In the end, I'll die by his hand of my own accord to atone for my sins. I won't leave a single last word."

"Don't you think it's fun when a gravity-type character, who's always so intense and seems to have a thousand things to say, dies as lightly as a feather?"

The protagonists, supporting characters, and viewers who got tricked into crying: "There's nothing fun about that, you bastard! QAQ!"

Warnings:

1. A lethal dose of one-sided devotion. The protagonist chases after others, and others chase after him. Sometimes you chase me, sometimes I chase you.

2. The feelings are extremely twisted and heavy. Expect fake deaths, melodrama, secret identities being exposed, and all kinds of chaos. If that's not your thing, don't read.

3. The protagonist has more than one secret identity.

4. The forum-style sections are extremely chaotic and toxic. Read with caution.

Coming soon: My other book, "Godfather, but a Chinese-Style Incubus."

A player discovers a fascinating game: Godfather Simulator.

Set in a cyberpunk era of high technology and low living standards, players must recruit NPCs, expand their territory, and build their influence, growing from a cannon fodder who won't survive three days into the Godfather of the underworld.

After the hundredth time being betrayed by his subordinates, having his territory taken over by NPCs, and dying a violent death, the player finally snaps!

Furious, the player opens the forum and downloads a cheat mod that looks incredibly powerful.

The description promises things like "subordinates who will never betray you" and "even the strongest enemy can't hurt you." This has to be the ultimate cheat for conquering the world!

Full of anticipation, the player starts a new save...

[Innate Trait: Chinese-Style Incubus]

Huh?

The player discovers that this "Chinese-Style Incubus" mod comes with a powerful mind-control skill.

Even when he has nothing, all he needs to do is smile, and talented people will come to join him of their own accord.

Say something that paints a pretty picture, and even the most unruly subordinate will look moved.

Feed them some poisonous chicken soup, and even enemy spies will switch sides on the spot...

Soon, the player's problem becomes...

"Sigh. What am I supposed to do when I'm so irresistibly charming as a mafia godfather?!"

Wadang District is the darkest and poorest place in the entire Federation.

Street fights are commonplace here. Going hungry is normal, and even if you spend every day holed up in your room, you could still be quietly murdered.

The people who live here have grown numb, with no hope left for the future.

Until "that person" appeared.

He wasn't particularly handsome.

And yet, just looking into those blue eyes, broader than the sky and deeper than the sea, made everyone feel as if they would gladly die for him.

The merciful, great Godfather smiled at the subordinate kissing his fingertips and said:

"Bring me victory."
