Coming soon: The Fan-Favorite Character Is Mentally Ill
After living in a psychiatric hospital for many years, he'd almost completely lost the ability to communicate normally. Then he suddenly died. He never expected to get a System, or that he'd have to enter a comic-book world and earn popularity points. The mentally ill man had nothing to say.
Could you at least take a good look at me? Do I look like I can work?

After taking three jobs...
Green: The Early-Death Supporting Character's Dedicated Temp
He works in three different places at once.
Workplace One: He's the lifesaving friend in an infinite cosmic horror story.
He and the gifted but overlooked protagonist are assigned to the same instance. He spreads kindness and beauty, saves people, then dies in a forced choice, giving the protagonist a chance to escape.
Workplace Two: He's the childhood friend who sees ghosts in a supernatural city.
He's classmates with the protagonist. He calls to ask them to meet and help him, then tries to leave the ghost realm with them. Seriously injured, he protects the protagonist from danger, and then disappears without a trace.
Workplace Three: He's a wealthy young master who loves food.
He's roommates with the protagonist, whose cooking is a disaster. He gives the protagonist money and medicine, taste-tests their food, and drives them around. After a car crash, he hopes the protagonist will survive. His will leaves all his property to the protagonist, and his dying wish is to bring the protagonist back to life. He dies again pursuing that wish.
Before his jobs are even finished, the workplaces merge!
Friend One: I didn't let you down.
Friend Two: I finally found you...
Friend Three: I'm so glad you're alive.
Theme: Hard work leads to prosperity and a better life.
