This is a classic shonen manga.
Every member of the protagonist group comes from a distinguished background, has exceptional talent and great strength, and is destined to become a powerful leader in the future.
I am a background character who barely appears while the protagonist group is still young and studying at school.
My specialty is slacking off. My hobbies are sleeping and playing video games. On the manga forums, people describe me as "that guy who walked by," "the lucky roommate of my wife," and "another background character the old author phoned in."
Though I'm only average in talent, a lazy dead fish, and utterly unmotivated, the protagonist group seems to have some strange misunderstanding about me.
Whenever they look at me, there's always sadness hidden in their eyes. They speak and act cautiously around me, and from the moment we first met, they've tried to impart the idea that the world doesn't matter.
Me: ?
Even more mysteriously, when I stay up all night gaming instead of sleeping, they think I'm training through the night;
When I climb over the school wall to sneak out and eat barbecue, they think I've secretly gone to some perilous place;
When I skip class and secretly scroll on my phone, they think I'm troubled. Not only does some kind soul finish my homework for me, but several ancient books kept secret by the great families show up by my bed that night.
Me: ?
Meanwhile, on the manga forums, at some point a well-known lore enthusiast dug up the truth: I am the real savior, someone who has been enduring hardship and secretly plotting against the world since the very first chapter.
The whole forum is in tears over me.
[Old author, you have no heart!]
[Waaaaah, Huo Jing, my precious, you've had it so hard]
[There is no such thing as a born savior. It's just an ordinary person gritting their teeth and overcoming countless hardships through ten thousand times the effort.]
[Old author, give my precious a bright future. Don't make me get on my knees and beg you.]
Me: ?
So can someone tell me what on earth is going on in this world?
Wang Chunshan was the greatest genius in the hidden world, a young city lord born into a distinguished family. On the night before the new school term began, she had a precognitive dream.
In her dream, her life went as smoothly as she had expected. She became the youngest city lord of a human main city, unified the hidden world's political landscape, protected the surface world, and established the first official organization for maintaining order: the Anomaly Management Bureau.
Her achievements were celebrated by the world. She was a savior without equal.
In truth, Wang Chunshan was simply following the plans laid out by someone who had died.
That person was the friend whose soul had resonated with hers when they were young, a poor-born savior who truly loved the world with compassion.
But fate had never favored her friend. Huo Jing did not live to see their twenty-fifth year.
Wang Chunshan woke from her nightmare.
At this point, she had yet to meet the friend who would one day mean so much to her.
Her future friend, Huo Jing, had only just come of age.
It wasn't until much, much later that I learned everyone seemed to have been reborn, except me.
Me: ...
