Relying on the Forum, I Rebuild the Underworld in the Manga World

Question: What does it feel like when an extra accidentally binds to a system and is forced onto a savior route?

Si Ye: Thanks for the invite. I’m already dead. Burn paper offerings if you need me. Won’t help anyway. Heh — I just won’t look.

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

He learns that his world is actually a collapsed manga titled Urban Supernatural Chronicles.

The system demands that he become a savior and prevent the original storyline’s ending — where ten thousand ghosts counterattack the human world.

Si Ye:

“How exactly am I supposed to save it? Beat ghosts to death with flowers?”

The system reveals its trump card:

And so, when the manga updates:

“Who’s this handsome guy? He wasn’t in the original plot.”

“Holy crap, is he a hidden protagonist? What’s with this art style — is the author okay?”

…

Si Ye happily stays low-profile, casually borrowing the protagonist’s halo and slacking off in the Ghost Domain — yet forum attention on him skyrockets.

Until one day.

Ten thousand ghosts shatter the boundary.

The protagonist team fights to exhaustion.

A blood-red fissure splits open across the sky.

Si Ye stands beneath the crack and turns back with a faint smile.

White hair like snow. Eyes molten gold.

“Don’t cry. I’m just… doing what I want to do.”

After that day, the protagonist team sinks into despair. The forum erupts in mourning.

Everyone believes he sacrificed himself.

Only Si Ye knows —

He really did die.

Because he received an employment notice from the Underworld.

[Ding! Congratulations, Mr. Si Ye, on your appointment as the Supreme Leader of the Underworld.]
