The battle between a background character obsessed with getting killed off and a cast of protagonists determined to give him more screen time.
After someone said Lin Yuan was living off his looks, Lin Yuan flew into a rage and chose to play a background character in countless game worlds.
The faster and more miserably he died, the happier he was!
Then one day, the game glitched, and he could no longer change his face!
At first, Lin Yuan clung to the hope that even if he used his real face, he was still just a background character.
Then he noticed that his work hours kept getting longer!!!
What the hell?! I need a raise for this!
Lin Yuan, forced to live off his looks: Please, just give me a quick death already. Your boy's starving to death here.
The protagonists: ...Nope.
Lin Yuan: ??? This is too much! The protagonists are bullying a minor background character like this. Don't I have any rights?

Here's the blurb for Death Flight (Infinite):
It all begins with a plane crash.
It was a major disaster, but also a miracle, because all 178 passengers survived, except for the captain and first officer in the cockpit.
The news reported that the crew had turned the situation around with decisive action, saving everyone's lives.
Only the passengers themselves knew that their captain had already died before the plane crashed.
They all escaped death, but were constantly haunted by the fear of dying.
At the beginning of every month, they receive a ticket for Flight 404. It lists the boarding location and departure time, but nothing else.
No one knows where the flight is headed. Before departure, it's impossible to find any information about it, but on the day of departure, a plane marked 404 always appears at the airport out of nowhere.
Every time Flight 404 takes off, Qian Yu sees many unfamiliar faces, and the person in the seat beside him changes again and again. Each time, Qian Yu cheerfully greets them first: "Hello, I'm Qian Yu, a passenger on Flight 404."
"Hello. Do you know where this flight is going?"
Seeing his seatmate's face turn pale, Qian Yu finds it hard to answer. "If you mean the destination, I don't know either. It could be a deserted island, or a bizarre alternate world."
Out of kindness, he leaves out the last part: no matter where they go, there's only one outcome. They either live or die.
Qian Yu glances at his seatmate, who is quietly trembling, and lets a faint smile touch his lips. Why scare him any more?
Theme: Work is glorious.
