An NPC Extra Can't Possibly Be the Mastermind

After transmigrating to another world, Dimon Clyde dreams of becoming a great Demon King who destroys the world and brings about its end.

Someday, a hero who has overcome every hardship will stand before him and fight him to the death.

But in reality, his enemies are laughably weak. Everywhere he goes, people worship him as a god, and the demonic realm he built has become the utopia everyone dreams of.

Even his subordinates gaze at him with the utmost admiration at all times.

"Lord Dimon gave us a new life."

"Without Lord Dimon, the demons would never have what they have today."

"Lord Dimon, "

Dimon: ...

This isn't what he wanted at all!

Bored with his dull life, Dimon turns his attention to unexplored territory. As it happens, he learns that a certain country has developed a hero-summoning ritual.

Countless heroes with exceptional talents are summoned. With a little training, they can become a powerful reserve force, and they even come back to life after dying.

The only downside is that these heroes behave according to bizarre logic and are hard to control.

But Dimon's eyes light up with excitement. Aren't they the perfect audience for him?

He'll play the part of a random NPC and guide the heroes to the Demon King!

On Earth, a full-dive fantasy game called The Age of Heroes launches and immediately earns widespread acclaim.

In this realistic world of magic and swords, players become summoned heroes. They battle the demons, protect the people, and earn their admiration.

The only flaw is that the Demon King is both ridiculously edgy and incredibly strong!

As heroes, players can't outdo him in conversation, let alone beat him in a fight. Isn't this Demon King way too overpowered?

In the end, the players get furious and spam the developers.

What's going on?! Why can't the heroes in this game beat the Demon King?

So who are the protagonists here, the heroes or the Demon King?!

Dimon lounges on his throne, bored: Why are all these heroes so weak? When will someone finally defeat me, the Demon King?

-Notes-

1. The male lead has a terminal case of chuunibyou, is genuinely a little crazy, and is the strongest.

2. My take on Western fantasy.

The Rich Male Leads Are All My Secret Identities

Office worker Wu Qian is bound to a System and made to play four male leads in a Mary Sue novel.

The System tells him that the story is about an ordinary girl who attends an elite school, gets bullied by her noble classmates, then meets the school's four most popular boys and gets entangled with them in a whirlwind of possessiveness and passionate pursuit.

But for some reason, all four male leads have disappeared. To keep the plot intact, Wu Qian has to play them himself.

Wu Qian: Yikes, I'm out!

System: Wait! Don't you want to know what kind of male leads you'll be playing?

Silly Male Lead One: A rich kid who loves hosting Weibo giveaways

Gentle Male Lead Two: A rich kid who's good at investing and making money

Low-Key Male Lead Three: A down-to-earth rich kid who helps poor communities

Lively Male Lead Four: A rich kid who's skilled at every extreme sport.

Wu Qian: Why are they all rich kids?! How am I supposed to play them?

System: Just act according to their character profiles. I can provide the money and everything.

Suddenly, things became much easier.

A god of wealth suddenly appears on a livestream platform. He loves watching funny streams and gives away cash whenever he's in a good mood. Streamers and viewers alike adore him.

A major investor appears on all the big novel websites. Any story that catches his eye receives a fortune in tips before its rights are sold.

On A Station, videos documenting the transformation of a hundred impoverished mountain villages into luxurious agritourism resorts begin appearing, stunning viewers.

Extreme-sports vlogs featuring skiing in Switzerland, racing on tracks, and skydiving in New Zealand suddenly attract millions of followers.

A forum dubs these four the Four Riches of the Modern Age, or 4F. People argue over which of them is richest and most influential.

Then one day, a post reveals that all four rich kids have fallen for an ordinary girl and are trying to possess her at all costs.

Wu Qian: Don't make things up! It's clearly about forcing money on her, flaunting their wealth, and taking away her bad luck!
