A Guide to Gravity-Based Roleplay

After Heguang was bound to the “Background Character Comeback System,” he had no choice but to transmigrate into a canceled, unfinished shonen manga and play a background character who didn’t even have a name. How could he rise from an obscure background character to a fan-favorite? And how could he turn the unfinished, canceled original into a wildly popular manga full of twists and turns and burning passion? Heguang, an old-school anime fan, had his own answer. Obviously, he had to play a gravity-type character! Whether it was a meek, timid, loyal dog of a guy who had never seen sunlight and would give his life for just a little warmth, an arrogant, cold, and gloomy guy who would never let go once he had chosen someone, even if it killed him, or a sunny guy whose dazzling, sun-like appearance concealed terrifyingly intense feelings so heavy they could take your breath away... Heguang: I can do all of them! * System: How are you going to play a gravity-type character? “Obviously...” “I’ll give him everything, become an irreplaceable part of his life, then betray him completely and walk away without looking back, leaving him with an image so vile he’ll hate me to the bone.” “Finally, to atone for my sins, I’ll let him kill me. I won’t leave him a single last word.” “Isn’t it interesting 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’d been made to cry: Not even a little, you jerk! QAQ! Warnings: 1. Contains a lethal dose of one-sided devotion. Sometimes the protagonist throws himself at someone, sometimes others throw themselves at him. Sometimes you pine for me, sometimes I pine for you. 2. The emotions are extremely twisted and heavy, with fake deaths, melodrama, and secret identities flying everywhere. If that’s not your thing, don’t read. 3. The protagonist has more than one secret identity. 4. There may be forum-style posts about romantic pairings. Here’s my upcoming novel, Godfather, But a Chinese-Style Incubus. Please follow it, meow~ Players discovered an intriguing game called 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 cannon fodder who won’t survive three days into the godfather of the underworld. After being betrayed by his subordinates, having his territory swallowed up by NPCs, and dying horribly for the hundredth time, the player finally snapped! Furious, the player opened the forum and downloaded a cheat mod that looked incredibly powerful. The description read, “Subordinates who will never betray you,” “Even the most powerful enemy can’t hurt you in the slightest”... This had to be the ultimate cheat that would let the player rule the world! The player eagerly started a new save file [Innate Trait: Chinese-Style Incubus] Huh? The player discovered that this “Chinese-Style Incubus” mod came with a mind-control skill. Even when he had nothing, all he had to do was smile and talented people would willingly join him. Say a few empty promises, and even his most rebellious subordinates would look touched. Feed them some toxic motivational talk, and the enemy’s undercover double agent would switch sides on the spot... Before long, the player’s troubles had changed to: Sigh, what am I supposed to do when my charm stat is too high as the godfather of the mafia?! Wadang District was the darkest and poorest place in the entire Federation. Gang shootouts were commonplace on its streets, going hungry was normal, and even those who spent all day hiding in their rooms risked being killed without a sound. The people living there had grown numb and no longer held any hope for the future. Until “that person” appeared. He didn’t even have particularly striking looks. But when people gazed into those blue eyes, vaster than the sky and wider than the sea, they all felt as if they would gladly die for him. The kind and great godfather smiled at the subordinate kissing his fingertips and said: “Bring me victory.” Theme: Break free of the shackles of fate
