The Manga Cannon Fodder Wants to Become the Popularity King

01. The PremiseWith only one week left to live due to a terminal illness, Cezar struck a deal with a System.He is transmigrated into the world of the mega-hit manga, Absolute Talent. There, he becomes a “black household” (an undocumented person)—a cannon fodder character with nothing to his name. Given his sickly constitution, failing to gain enough “presence” in the story means certain death.To survive, Cezar has no choice but to manually craft his own lore, plotlines, and “highlight moments.” He must become an indispensable character in the manga, using nothing but acting skills and lies to gamble for his life.“My background is a blank slate, which means there are no hidden plot threads to dig up.” “But a blank slate is an opening—a loophole. As long as I wish it, I can fill this white paper with whatever answer satisfies me.”02. The Fan ReactionEver since the mysterious character Cezar Kleist appeared, the manga’s popularity has skyrocketed.At the start (Manga Forum): “I’m in love with this sickly, vase-like beauty! He’s definitely the Protagonist’s ‘White Moonlight.’ He’s going to be a massive emotional gut-punch later on.”After a while (Manga Forum): “He’s the peak of intelligence! Even if he needs three breaths for every step he takes, he’s so reliable. Seeing that calm smile makes me feel like everything is going to be okay.”Later on (Manga Forum): “…”Manga Forum: “HOLY CRAP!! Why did no one tell me this beauty is also the #1 psycho from Iswit Insane Asylum?! Protagonist, look out! A Federation SSS-class fugitive is right next to you!!”Cezar (who is still busy layering his own backstory): “Thanks for the interest. Honestly, before I tried making up my own background… I didn’t expect this either. :)”Story 2: The Only Real Player01. The “Solo” GamerOne day, Su Xingyuan discovered a VR single-player game called Brave the Dungeon and became its only player.The game featured a massive map, a realistic experience, and incredible freedom—he could even waltz on a Boss’s head if he felt like it. The only thing that bothered him was that the NPCs were constantly trying to introduce him to psychiatric specialists. However, whenever he checked his “Map Reputation,” he saw a glowing, golden status: [Revered] .Su Xingyuan: “Being revered is great and all, but I can’t help feeling like something is… off.”02. The RealityIn 2025, monster portals suddenly appeared worldwide. Humans awakened superpowers to fight back, and a new order was established. No one knew how long this peace would last—until a black-haired youth with turquoise cat-like eyes stepped out of a portal.Aside from being pretty and well-behaved, he seemed to have no other merits. He was a troublemaker with a death wish whose behavior was baffling and whose mental state was… questionable. Some even swore he was an escapee from the local mental asylum.Then, the youth turned around and cleared an S-Rank Gate single-handedly. He proceeded to pummel Calamity-class monsters and solo Nightmare-class dungeons.Everyone: “??? Is this disaster-level combat power for real?! We were told he was unreliable!”03. The “Savior”A Prophet once predicted that a Savior would emerge from the Gate. To save the world, the “Savior Protection Association” went through immense hardship to find that prophesied youth.Savior Protection Association: “…Wait.”Can someone explain why the “Great Savior” they’ve been searching for is currently being chased down the street for stealing the toupee off the head of the Hunter Association’s President?!Is this thing really the Savior they’ve been dreaming of?!
