Chapter 1 Chapter 1

I was an NPC Passerby, and the system told me that my mission was very simple—

1. Become friends with the male protagonist.

2. Block a fatal blow for the male protagonist at critical juncture.

3. Die in the male protagonist’s arms, beautifully reciting pre-written lines, allowing him to gain power-ups amidst his grief and anger, thus enabling him to defeat stronger foes than himself.

The system said that my death would present a tear-jerking scene, after which I could retire.

I nodded, indicating that I fully understood everything.

Then I discovered that the greatest challenge of this quest wasn’t “becoming friends with the male lead” but rather “dying.”

Who could tell me why the speed at which the male protagonist unlocked his abilities was faster than the speed at which I recited my dying words?!

I hadn’t even fallen to the ground yet, and the earth-shattering boss had already been beaten to death by the rampaging male lead!

All I could do was hunker down and wait for my next opportunity to sacrifice myself, but…

Ahh, how did it come to this?! The male protagonist’s power-ups were far quicker than my own dying pace—there really weren’t any chances left for me!

“I absolutely will not allow anyone else to have the chance to harm you… absolutely.”

…Thank you, but seriously, there really isn’t any need to go so far for a mere “friend!” Why does saying this make the male protagonist look even more displeased?!

[Why don’t you check the tags?]
I looked—

And found that after the original “Youngster’s Passion,” another tag appeared: “Feast on Dog Food.”

I stared at it blankly.

What did that mean? How was I supposed to understand this?!

Speaking of, the latest round of “Character Popularity Voting” had unexpectedly landed on the same name as mine…

Wait, does that sound like me?!

Ah?

I really am just a passerby!

[Reading Notes:]
1. Urban Monster Setting, Transmigrating into a Comic. There will be some forum content, but not the main focus.

2. The system’s role is quite significant, and its comedic function is somewhat like that of a roast master.

3. Ability Possession, with a hint of supernatural elements, but should not be considered horror.

4. Pay little attention to the comments section; if you need to contact me about something important, please look at the column.

5. Not quick-transmigration, not quick-transmigration, really not quick-transmigration! I tagged it as transmigration, so don’t get mixed up, T_T

6. All city names used within this work are fictional, including Fuhai City and Qionghai City derived from the manga. Do not associate them with reality.
