The protagonist works himself to death, then unexpectedly comes back reborn as an evil god.
Protagonist, weeping with joy: "Wonderful! No more working 996 or paying off a mortgage. I don't even need to eat, drink, or go to the bathroom. I can lie flat and sleep until the end of time!"
But he has barely fallen asleep when someone wakes him.
A grown man who mooches off his parents and dreams of getting rich: "O great evil god, please bless me with wealth and prosperity. I offer my parents and sisters to you as sacrifices."
Protagonist: "An incomplete sacrifice isn't perfect. A family should all be together. How could you be left out?"
The man watches as the ghosts of his dead family come to reunite with him, then runs to the police station in terror and turns himself in.
A celebrity with a talent for marrying into money: "O great evil god, please make me a huge star. I offer my wife and daughter as sacrifices."
Protagonist: "Easy. Bad publicity is still publicity."
The next day, the whole internet learns that the celebrity secretly married, was seeing several women at once, and tried to murder his wife and daughter for their inheritance. He also earns himself a pair of silver bracelets.
The head of the evil god's cult: "O great evil god, please bless us with eternal youth and immortality. These hundred handsome men and beautiful women are our sacrifice to you."
Protagonist: "The flesh is no more than a skeleton covered in rouge. I admire souls glowing with the light of faith far more."
Then all the cultists are scared out of their minds and beg the Special Security Department to save them.
And so the rumor spreads: This evil god is terrifying. Everyone who summons him meets a terrible end.
The protagonist is satisfied, thinking that now surely no one will dare summon him again. At last, he can fulfill his dream of being a couch potato and sleep until the end of time.
Just as he's about to fall asleep, he hears another summons. The evil god, furious at being woken up, arrives at the altar and discovers that this time the people who summoned him are a group of besieged members of the Special Security Department.
Special Security Department: "O great god of justice, please bless us and all the hostages so we can get out of here alive and unharmed. As for a sacrifice, um, we heard you don't like souls or raw meat or anything like that, and we didn't have time to prepare. Once we get back alive, we'll offer you the best incense, plus malatang, fried chicken, grilled skewers, beer, soda..."
Protagonist: "..."
The big shot from the Special Security Department: "If you're still not satisfied, how about me? I'm slim-waisted and long-legged, beautiful as a flower, with plenty of stamina and skill. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Protagonist: "..."
This is just ridiculous.
And yet his heart is pounding.
