side character transmigration: the final boss is no joke

SHI SHENG

Shi Sheng was an author. An author who loved cliff-hangers and dropped countless books. A stepmother-styled author who killed off countless protagonists. On this beautiful day, she finally understood something.

Authors who write cliff-hangers will be punished.

She was currently squatting in front of a book-shaped crystal half the height of a person and suffering from a bit of a headache.

She had clearly been ‘debating’ with her readers about how the male lead was turned gay by one of the side characters but said side character was ‘straightened out’ by the female lead. This of course led to the male lead being forced to live a lonely life of misery. So… How did she end up here?

‘I want to go back!’

[I have already stated the conditions for returning. You have 5 seconds to consider. If you have not decided by then, you will be terminated.] A robot-like emotionless voice sounded.

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘As expected of a System! Terminate this, terminate that… How cruel ah!’

At this moment, a countdown timer was displayed on the crystal screen, [5… 4… 3…]

“Okay, okay!” For the sake of survival, Shi Sheng surrendered all her dignity.

‘I want to go back to write cliff-hangers… with twisted plots… and kill off my protagonists… *sob* Who told me to be a stepmother author?’

Being an author, she couldn’t be any more familiar with System-genre novels. After all she had once written- *cough* She seemed to have dropped that one. But she was still familiar with the genre!

At this moment, the countdown on the screen disappeared, to be replaced by a few lines of data:

Name: Shi Sheng

Morality Points: -100,000

Contribution Points: 0

“Nani? Just these? Where are the ‘wisdom’, ‘battle power’ and ‘mental strength’ stats? This doesn’t fit with the System-genre! Also, why is my Morality Points at -100,000?”

Looking at that long string of 0s, Shi Sheng got even more of a headache. She had to eliminate this many 0s in order to return… When was she going to get back?!

‘I didn’t kill people or commit arson! Why is it so far in the negatives?!’

[Authors are gods. They grant their characters everything, from their life to their personality as well as create a world. And these worlds will grant heaven-defying luck to those protagonists.

However, not every protagonist has the morals and character to use it wisely. The result being the deaths of the side characters, resulting in resentment which causes the collapse of their worlds.

Your job, as the Host, is to enter these worlds as a side character and fulfill their wishes in order to clear out their resentment.]

‘To put it simply, the protagonists aren’t being good protagonists!’

“You still haven’t told me why my morality points are at negative 100,000?” This was more important since it concerned when she would be able to return.

[Once the Host’s Morality Points have sunken below negative 200,000, the Host will be terminated.]

‘Nani?! There’s a limit?! You’ve gotta be kidding me!’

[Initialising transfer…]

“Fuck!” ‘Why is this System so abnormal? Hey, aren’t you going to tell me the reward for completing tasks? Don’t I get a Beginner’s Package? Aren’t you going to give me some guidance? Also, where are my cheats?’

Shi Sheng only had time to curse before darkness engulfed her vision..
