After Becoming the Protagonist of a Gacha Game

Cheng Zicheng transmigrates into a gacha game that hasn't even launched publicly yet.

The game is about urban legends and horror, with danger at every turn.

As everyone knows, in most gacha games, the characters in the pool do all the fighting. Cheng Zicheng, the game's protagonist, has no combat abilities at all, and the characters in the pool, who don't know him from Adam, are one and all a nightmare to deal with.

Cheng Zicheng's only golden finger is the ability to rewind after death.

"How can I get home?" he asks.

[Host, you are already an outsider who transmigrated into this world. You don't need to do anything. Once this world is destroyed, you'll return to your homeland safe and sound.] The System answers.

I can go home without doing a thing, Cheng Zicheng thinks. This is too easy.

He can do it.

He can't.

When someone asks him for help, when someone is about to meet a tragic end, when he sees something beautiful cruelly shattered...

Cheng Zicheng always wants to reach out, even after dying countless times for it.

[I have heard of a being known as the "protagonist," who is forever encountering different people.]

[Whatever their beliefs or goals, the people he meets will eventually stay by his side, willingly following him to save the world.]

[This must be why you came to this world.]

* The protagonist will grow. This is not an invincible-protagonist story.

* The world will be full of protagonist fans and twisted protagonist fans.

* Couldn't find anything to read, so I wrote my own. A high schooler saving the world.

* Male lead, no romance. Everyone's bond with the protagonist is a different kind of connection, whether friendship or family.
