I Rebuild the Underworld in a Manga World Using a Forum

[Female-oriented male protagonist · Urban superpowers · Manga forum · Ensemble cast · Mastermind · Card summons]

Question: What does it feel like when an ordinary person accidentally binds a system and is forced onto the route of a savior?

Si Ye: Thanks for asking. I'm already dead; if you have something, burn paper offerings. Even if you burn them, it's useless. Heh, I just won't look.

——

Si Ye, whose superpower is drawing flowers, is bound by a system.

He learns that the world he is in is a ruined manga called Urban Strange Records.

The system wants him to be a savior and resolve the original ending where ten thousand ghosts counterattack the human world.

Si Ye: You want me to save the world? What, by smashing ghosts to death with flowers?

So the system reveals its trump card: [Cheat ability: Belief makes it real. As long as the manga forum readers believe you have it, you will really have it.]

Then, when the manga updates:

[Who is this handsome guy? He wasn't in the original plot.]

[Holy crap, is this a new hidden main character? This art style, is the old thief's hand okay?]

...

Si Ye enjoys the leisure, leeching the protagonist aura every day and loafing around in the ghost domain, while the forum's attention on him instead skyrockets.

Until that day.

Ten thousand ghosts break through the boundary, the protagonist group fights until exhausted, and a blood-red crack splits the sky.

Si Ye stands directly below the crack and turns back with a faint smile at the protagonist group.

His white hair is snow-bright, his pupils gold as molten metal.

"Don't cry. I'm just... doing what I want to do."

After that day, the protagonist group is in despair and pain, and the forum is filled with grief.

Everyone thought he had sacrificed himself, but only Si Ye knew that he... really had died.

Because he received a notice of employment from the underworld.

[System: Congratulations, Mr. Si Ye, on becoming the highest leader of the underworld]
