The NPC Became Everyone's Beloved

[Completed. Reading guide and the upcoming novel What If the Person You Like Is Gin are below.] [The cover features Rinji as an Onmyoji, along with his modern secret identity. For the full-size image, visit @JianyunGugu-Jinjiang.] Baiye Linji was unexpectedly bound to a “Game Story Completion” System and had to play his NPC role well in this full-dive game. Rinji looked at the identity cards he'd drawn: [Minor Villain] [Hero in a Flashback] [Rampaging Monster] [Small Boss Who Had His Fruit Stolen] ...Aren't these all disposable pawns? Rinji was determined not to be a disposable pawn. He would become an NPC who made the story thrilling and worked his way into the main plot. However, NPCs weren't supposed to live long enough to steal the protagonist's spotlight. Before he knew it, Rinji had unlocked all kinds of bad endings for himself. [Achievement: Never See the Dawn] The police academy students could finally hold that person's hand again, but the one who had always risked everything to protect them would never see the future. [Achievement: Beast Trapped in the Abyss] Struggling within an organization of darkness, his destined future was to be judged by the light. Yet he let go of the hand of the person willing to descend into the abyss with him. [Achievement: Sinner Who Saved the World] His blood flowed across the city he had protected. The world condemned him as a criminal, but in their hearts, he was a beacon of light. [Achievement: Endless Reincarnation] The thousand-year-old soul had never found peace. Someone fought with all their might, yet could not stop the destined annihilation from arriving. He heard the final prayer... Rinji gathered the important characters and beta testers around him, found their pain, and soothed their wounds. Through his high-stakes plays, admirers willingly expressed their respect, while his enemies were torn between love and hate. After becoming the center of their attention, Rinji successfully upgraded his identity card from disposable pawn to important character... but he didn't see the “white moonlight” suffix that followed. Having completed the game's story and sent everyone off to happy endings, Rinji quit the game without waiting for [Achievement: Reunion at Last] or the flood of tearful posts from the players. He wanted to get back to real life as soon as possible. He never expected [Achievement: Reunion at Last] to appear in the real world. A blond, dark-skinned young man knocked on his door. A bespectacled, curly-haired police officer stared at his face, rubbing his eyes over and over. A silver-haired killer lowered his gun, while a Norse artificial god looked at him with a sly smile... Baiye Linji walked toward death again and again, saving their lives. But between them lay countless regrets and desires with no way to find release. The players who had experienced it all firsthand: Rinji is everyone's white moonlight! Please release a new game storyline so they can get a happy ending! (Likes +10086) Rinji in the game: “They're all my kids and good friends. Romance? Never heard of it.” Rinji in the love triangle: “??? My... kids?” [Divider] [Upcoming: What If the Person You Like Is Gin? Click my author page to check it out.] Normal ways of pursuing someone don't really work for Gin or me. Because Gin is a killer, and everyone in the Organization thinks I'm a psycho. I joined the Organization when I was little. They left me with Gin, who was still called Kurosawa at the time, for a few years to raise. Then they sent me somewhere else on a mission. My codename is now Baijiu. Everyone else thinks I've forgotten Gin, but isn't there a saying about how you never forget your first love? I think I fell for Gin back then. I want to see Gin every second of every day. I want to love him, and I want to see him cry. Of course, only for me, and not because of anyone else. I want to lock him up so I'm the only one who can see him. The problem is, when we reunited, I realized Gin seemed to have forgotten me. That wouldn't do. So I slept with Gin. Well... he still doesn't seem to remember me, and he wants to shoot me. Before meeting twenty-year-old Baishen Xun, Gin had heard people call him a gentlemanly scoundrel. After meeting him, Gin decided he was an idiot and a gentlemanly beast. Gin: “Why is he so drunk?” Bourbon: “He wanted to prove that Baijiu and Gin could make a cocktail, so he poured them together and downed a huge glass. I don't think he's drunk; he might have alcohol poisoning. It's probably not serious. Just comfort him and he'll be fine.” Gin went to get his gun. Bourbon: “Wait, what???” Vermouth says I'm mentally unstable now because I was starved of love as a child. But Gin can't love anyone. It doesn't matter. It's enough that I love him.

Read it however you like. 5.
