The Behind-the-Scenes Boss in the Manga World

My column has a new no-pairing story, I Became a God by Bluffing the Players. The blurb is below. Don't miss it, little angels~

Shi Yu was a fun-loving person who enjoyed stirring things up every day. Then one day, a System came to him and asked if he'd be interested in playing a behind-the-scenes Big Boss in a comic.

Shi Yu: Ah, what perfect timing! I was just getting bored.

Since he was going to be a behind-the-scenes Big Boss, he obviously couldn't be like an ordinary villain. He needed lofty ideals, a mysterious background, and loyal subordinates.

After carefully considering everything, Shi Yu created just such a Big Boss for the new comic, The Human and the Ghost.

He was mysterious and inscrutable, his identity a puzzle. No one knew what he looked like or could trace his whereabouts, yet his shadow fell behind every evil deed.

The arrogant ability users bowed before him. The knights of light stepped into darkness for his sake. The powerful Ghost King willingly embraced death for his ideals.

He could do anything and knew everything. No one understood his ideas, and no one supported his wishes. But that was all right. One person was enough for this journey.

New story now out: I Became a God by Bluffing the Players

Gena Theodore was a magician who lived on Earth. One day, in some year and some month, Earth probably got sick of the likes of them and decisively kicked them out.

Say it with me: Thank you, Mother Earth.

The new world was one of magic and knights, a world where romance and hardship went hand in hand. Magicians here didn't have to hide away in plain sight. They could show off their power as much as they pleased.

Gray: Say it with me again: Thank you, Mother Earth, for sending me to paradise.

Of course, things rarely go smoothly.

The Goddess of Fate looked down on the world from the sky, guiding each person's path.

And so the world became a game, with humans as playthings in the hands of the gods.

Gray was so immersed in the sea of magic that he didn't notice a thing, until someone appeared at the door of his mage tower.

"The models here are so detailed. There must be a quest! Charge!"

Gray: "?"

Mother Earth, you never mentioned that you'd turn me from a real person into an NPC! I urgently need a transmigration manual! This is urgent!

Western Fantasy is a role-playing full-dive game. Players can draw characters and use their appearances and abilities to fight.

When the game first came out, everyone turned up their noses at it. The point of full-dive gaming is to experience things for real. Who'd want to wear someone else's face?

But in the end, everyone came around.

My wife's so beautiful! Every day I admire her from every angle in the mirror!

Players build their own city-states here, proclaim humanity's return to the other races, and join the war of faith. They and the gods they choose will be the only victors.

Meanwhile, in another world, a devout pope becomes a dungeon boss, and an innocent girl becomes a puppet on a stage.

Their old friends return to them. Before their smiles can even appear, cold blades pierce their chests.

Oh, God, why did it have to be this way?

Fate keeps repeating itself. After who knows how long, someone finally breaks the cycle and comes to stand before them.

"Would you like to leave?"

And so the old gods will eventually meet their end.
