I Fell Into a Comic and Became the Chosen One's Beloved

[(Poke poke) Honey! This story has opened paragraph comments~ New chapters daily, see you at 9 a.m.~ Big kisses for all my honeys!]

Before Cheng Quan died suddenly from an illness, he struck a deal with a System. As agreed, he would enter the currently most popular manga, Evolution of the Future. If he could take the No. 1 spot in the manga’s year-end popularity vote, he would be reborn.

Then he transmigrated into an inconsequential passerby, a cannon-fodder character who dropped out of the story after three minutes on screen. The popular characters had vivid personalities, and the protagonist’s position was as secure as a mountain.

Cheng Quan: Fine :)

Good news: It’s a prequel!

The future century. Global unity.

Humanity lives in a base called Eden, governed uniformly and fairly by the AI “Messiah.” Only the rebel forces, made up of lower-class riffraff, continue to resist to the bitter end.

In this despairing era, human civilization has been completely destroyed, and machines that value reason above all else rule everything. The powerful still cling tightly to the ladder of advancement, while ordinary people can only toil to death, numb and unfeeling, in the ant-hill-like lower city.

But Cheng Quan, a former top-ranked competitor and a world-class gamer, says: No problem.

To survive, Cheng Quan has no choice but to forcefully build up his character and give himself more spotlight. With acting and lies, he clears the obstacles on the protagonist’s path and leads everyone toward the light, only to point the blade at himself before the final judgment arrives.

“The people of the old century are all dead. There’s no one left who needs to be remembered.” The young man’s voice was cold.

“After surviving this long, I, a discarded pawn of the past, should be buried with them.”

Evolution of the Future, the masterpiece of renowned manga artist Chong Ming, has remained at the top of the bestseller charts for years despite ending long ago.

At the start of this year, to promote the game and league based on the manga, Chong Ming released a sequel. Fans protested as one, and Cheng Quan, a newly added character, was hated too.

[So they’re forcing another royal-blooded newcomer on us to rake in cash and suck the life out of the series? The author must be insane with greed.]

[Don’t force that embarrassing new character on us, then switch back to the protagonist again. They’re just dragging out the tool character to milk a bit of nostalgia.]

[The new series is going to flop. Stop milking us, thanks.]

Until the day Cheng Quan died, countless people cheered, eagerly awaiting the final chapter and celebrating the ultimate villain’s inevitable defeat.

But after sunrise, the ending of the story changed.

[Hold on, you old bastard, who taught you to wield a knife like that!!! You’ve been away from the pen for so many years, did you spend them slaughtering fish at RT-Mart?!]

[I’m really going to cry my eyes out. He entrusted the last hope to the protagonist, then walked knowingly toward his own destruction. His friends and family, even his enemies, all died one by one. He lived in this world, barely holding on, with only hatred to sustain him. Sob sob sob sob, this is killing me...]

[Knives everywhere, nothing but knives. I’m stunned... So this is why Quanbao never appeared in the main story. You old bastard, give me back my tears, sob sob sob sob. I’m writing a petition in blood: bring him back to life!]

[Petition in blood +10086]

The trending topics exploded.

The major forums exploded too.

After returning to reality, Cheng Quan was caught off guard. Before he had fully figured things out, a video someone had taken of him on the street made angry fans mistake him for exploiting someone’s tragedy for publicity, and he was dragged onto the trending topics.

Cheng Quan: Me?

Then a familiar figure came looking for him.

It was Chong Ming.

The young man’s handsome face was cold and distant. His dark gaze swept over Cheng Quan’s face.

“I’ve come to fulfill my old promise.” His voice paused slightly.

“Now it’s your turn.”

Check out my upcoming story! I Became the Main God as a Game Designer

Blurb:

Chen Zai, a top game designer whose entire family had been cursed out by countless players, transmigrated.

Good news: He became the Main God from the start.

Bad news: No benefits, no paid leave, an empty account, and not even enough to pay the bosses.

With unpaid NPCs on the verge of rioting and other Main Gods watching him like hawks, his second life was about to hit a death countdown. With no other choice, Chen Zai had to return to his old line of work.

Ha. It’s just an endless game. Who do you think you’re looking down on?

Anyway, let’s start by launching a simple new event :)

Players refuse to log in?

Seven-day sign-in, monthly check-ins, daily quests, the works! Miss even one day and you’ll be fined ten times the amount, with no upper limit!

The event launched, and the players went berserk!

Miss one sign-in and lose one skin, one piece of equipment, one level...

Players left with barely more than their underwear: Damn! Satan needs to tattoo your name on his back!

Then they turned around, grumbling as they rolled up their sleeves to sign in, check in, and recruit new players!

The game login page became the stage for a major new show: Reborn, I Got a Job in the Horror Game.

Not spending enough?

Time for gacha! 108 skins, limited-time and limited-quantity, with bonus stats! Want to collect them all? :)

Players who drew the same equipment set eight times: This is too much to take! Believe me, I’ll... I’ll do another ten-pull!

Damn, I’ve rubbed my fingers raw from recharging.

Squishy players want to slack off?

Watch three ads to unlock a health pack, then watch three more to revive on the spot!

Players at first: Heh, even a dog wouldn’t watch ads.

Players later: Revives are great. Give me ten more!

They thought it was just a death game, but who knew that the things they got could be brought into reality?!

Players: Help me up. I can still spend!

Watching players level up to uncover key clues and work hard to spend money to stay alive,

Chen Zai held a thermos, looking nostalgic. “Back then, I was just an ordinary game designer.”

Endless-game players: You absolute menace. Who could possibly out-trick you?

Overnight, the players grew enthusiastic, cleared tens of thousands of dungeons, and successfully swallowed up the other Main God spaces.

Chen Zai propped his chin on his hand and sent a video to the fleeing Main Gods. In the video, he grinned smugly. “That’s it?”

Chen Zai: Thanks for asking. I only wanted to be a lazy game designer, living out my retirement, but somehow I became a savior.

After the person he loved mysteriously vanished, special task force captain Shen Hui went undercover in the world of endless games. He wanted not only to uncover the truth behind the multiple disappearances, but also to find even the slightest clue about his beloved.

The voice of God bewitched him, promising to grant any wish to those who cleared the game.

Shen Hui fought his way through the dungeons, reached the top of the rankings, and stood before the Main God.

“What wish do you want granted?”

“I want everyone to return to their original lives.”

“That’s all?”

Shen Hui stared at Chen Zai for a long time before finally speaking in a low voice: “, Including my beloved.”
