How Could I, a Cannon Fodder, End Up Like This? [Collection]

[A quick-transmigration sampler. Read with caution if it’s not your thing.] Eli: How can someone fail even at playing a disposable character by the book? (mocking face) A while later Eli: …? A brainless, notoriously beautiful useless jellyfish x a nine-headed, three-hearted, tough and tentacled monster In an apocalyptic world, humans could die at any moment in the merciless hunt of the other species. Good news: Eli is one of them. Bad news: He’s just a little mutated jellyfish. He’s poisonous, but not enough to kill anyone. Worse, the other species kill one another, so his life is in constant danger. Good news: He’s actually just a task-doer assigned to play a disposable character. He can wrap up after three episodes and collect his bonus. Bad news: Another powerful member of his species has him penned up, so he won’t be dying anytime soon. Eli wasn’t convinced when the System penalized him for deviating from the script, so... A fallen angel who misses the God of Light x a split-personality Creator God whose fatherly instincts have gone into overdrive Wasn’t I supposed to be left alone? A gloomy, antisocial high school boy x a rich kid at the center of every crowd Wasn’t I supposed to be invisible? An innocent background character in an explicit novel, a junior disciple x an aloof master Wasn’t I supposed to be just a part of your play? A pitiful blind man x the neighbor who stole his place Wasn’t I supposed to be the partner who dies early? A mildly sadistic kidnapper x a secretly very sadistic captive Wasn’t I supposed to be the champion of justice? The younger brother of an undercover agent x a cold-blooded killer Wasn’t I supposed to kill first and ask questions later? An aristocratic male insect exiled after gender equality x the convicts imprisoned on a penal planet Wasn’t I supposed to hate males? And there’s the forgotten old flame, the beautiful but useless rookie Guide, game-data NPCs, nameless guards, the legendary figure who lives only in stories... [Please note]: 1.
