The male supporting character was actually myself.

"As expected of a fantasy world, it's the world where I've lived the longest so far, it's really long!" The little white cat reminisced excitedly as it perched on its host's shoulder. "But it's also the world where I finished the protagonist's mission in the fastest time."

In just a few days, by the time he realized what was happening, he had become a puppet, hahahahahahaha…”

It was smiling smugly when it looked up and saw its host's serious expression. It quickly stopped and asked, "Host, what's wrong?"

Jiang Chen raised his chin, indicating that it should see for itself.

Following his gaze, the little white cat looked straight ahead.

The rows of scripts of various types that were originally there have disappeared, and now only one script with a pure black cover is floating in mid-air.

"Is the main system not yet restored, causing a lag?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.

He only glanced at the little white cat, whose fur stood on end and it trembled with fear. "No, no, host."

Then it slumped down, its short, furry legs spread apart, and burst into tears, crying, "Why are we so unlucky! Why did we run into a demon dungeon!"

"We're doomed! Host, we're doomed! Waaaaah..."

"I've only heard about it from the big shots," the little white cat explained sobbing after it finished crying. "The main system will randomly distribute demon scripts."

So far, I've heard of three.

Two of the original hosts are dead, and the remaining, very powerful host is still trapped in the mission world.

"The host is dead?"

"Hmm. One is that they were just one medal away from collecting 99, and then they encountered a devilish scenario."

He spent too long in the mission world, causing the timeout to occur. The designated resurrection time had passed, and the resurrection mission was directly judged as a failure and he died.

The other one is dying in the mission world, and then...

Jiang Chen seized on the key point and countered, "In the devil's script, isn't the host's death a mission failure resulting in a deduction of medals?"

"No." The little white cat's big eyes were full of terror, and its soft voice trembled slightly. "If the host dies in the demon script, the soul will dissipate directly and completely lose the chance to be resurrected; the auxiliary system will be recycled by the main system."

What should we do?

"Little White doesn't want to leave its host!"

It hugged Jiang Chen's neck with its paws and cried as if it were facing the end of the world.

"Random?" He sneered, naturally not believing it in his heart. He patted the little white cat's head to comfort it, saying, "If you can't avoid it or run away from it, then you can only face it."

Instead of crying, hurry up and contact the experts you know in the system, and ask them what experience you can learn from.

The main system won't give us much time, so hurry up.

The little white cat hurriedly wiped away its tears, "Oh, okay, host, please wait a moment."

Before it received a reply, and after a certain period of time had passed without selecting a script, the only pure black script flew into Jiang Chen's hands on its own. When it was unfolded, there was only one line on it: Do what the best supporting actor should do—protect the protagonist and ensure his personal safety.

"The countdown has begun!" The little white cat nervously puffed up its fur and instructed, "Since there are still hosts inside, it means that if you have the strength, surviving shouldn't be a problem. After entering the mission world, make sure you are safe first!"

Host, get ready.

The storyline is being integrated; the host is preparing to merge into the world...

3, 2, 1, let's go!

The moment the light curtain disappeared, Jiang Chen found himself standing on the beach.

[Final Chapter Mission: Protect the protagonist Duan Chengze's personal safety until he leaves the mission world. Reward: Medal X ???]

Almost at the same time as entering the mission world, the main system mission was released.

At the same time, he had already received the current plot point in his mind.

The original owner was a recent college graduate. After leaving his internship company, the boss of the next company he had found gambled away the company and went bankrupt, so his job was lost.

To save on accommodation costs, the original owner found a very cheap apartment online.

He contacted the landlord by phone, agreed on a price, took the keys and his luggage, and took the bus all the way here. But once he entered this apartment building that looked quite nice from the outside, he could never get out.

This three-story apartment building has only six rooms, and six tenants, including the original owner, live there.

The protagonist, Duan Chengze, arrived on the same day as the original owner of the body.

Song Gang, a fitness enthusiast, has been living here for three months.

Liang Rumeng, an accountant with severe mysophobia, endured a difficult month.

Shi Xiaotong and Tang Zixuan had only been there for less than two weeks.

This is a very strange apartment building.

From the outside, its design is beautiful, and it is surrounded by a large green landscape. The environment is very nice and quiet. Except for the long walk along the tree-lined road when you get there by car, everything else is great.

However, once inside, everyone experienced the most desperate moment.

Looking out from the windows and rooftops, the surrounding scenery is beautiful and there is nothing unusual; but if you go outside, no matter which direction you take or how you leave, you will encounter a thick fog, a white fog so thick that you can't even see your own hand.

Emerging from the fog, you'll find that the apartment building still stands before you.

The original owner and the protagonist Duan Chengze, who arrived on the same day, had already tried this.

There are no other options besides choosing a room in the apartment.

The apartment key was mailed to me by courier after I paid the rent online. It was a normal apartment key with a label indicating which room it was.

The room was bigger and more beautiful than described online.

The apartment building is a three-story building, with the entire common area on the first floor.

There are only six rooms on the second and third floors, so the interior area is very large and it is a duplex. However, the furniture is very simple and there are no appliances except for the light bulbs. There is a bloody 30 mark on the wall of the living room.

According to Song Gang, who has lived here the longest and is the most capable, this is the "initial day" and also the countdown.

Every new tenant who moves in receives a 30-day complimentary stay.

Here, time is everything.

Successfully escaping a dungeon will grant different time rewards based on each person's performance in the storyline.

It can be used to purchase all kinds of supplies and items.

To survive, you must enter the instance and successfully escape to obtain time rewards.

Typically, when a new member joins, all the residents of the entire apartment building will enter a trial instance together to train the newbie.

Firstly, it helps newcomers adapt to the rhythm and rules of the game, enabling them to get to know and understand other guests more quickly;

Secondly, it can also be considered a benefit, allowing experienced players to easily earn some time by mentoring newbies.

At this moment, the original owner had just entered the instance with others.

"I've said what I needed to say and vented what I needed to vent. Since things have come to this, I can only try to live as long as possible. Maybe one day I can break out of this cycle and return to a normal life outside."

As the most senior leader, the physically strong Song Gang encouraged them.

The accountant, Liang Rumeng, was the oldest, and looked to be close to fifty years old.

Her long, slightly graying hair was neatly combed into a bun, her lips were slightly pursed and downturned, and she wore a pair of reading glasses on a chain around her neck.

Her eyes were sharp and she didn't smile. She glanced at Jiang Chen and Duan Chengze and said in a slightly shrill voice, "The newbie dungeon has the highest safety factor. As long as you follow the rules, there will be no danger."

We'll probably be doing missions together a lot in the future, so don't panic, just follow Song Gang and observe, listen, and learn!"

Chapter Two: Terrifying Desert Island (Part 1)

"Okay," Duan Chengze replied politely, his gaze sweeping over everyone.

The little white cat hugged its host tightly, almost crying, "Host, my abilities are restricted. Just like the players entering the dungeon, I can't go anywhere until the time is up!"

Jiang Chen pretended to straighten his collar and patted its little head to comfort it.

Welcome to the 'Crysis Island' instance. Players must break the time stagnation within the specified time to save everyone on the island and escape the instance.

Suddenly, a line of large characters appeared above the beach.

All six of them kept their eyes glued to the screen, making sure they didn't miss any information.

Rule 1: The clock tower on the island chimes at dawn, and the cycle begins. All 132 people from 21 households on the deserted island must survive.

Rule Two: Adhere to the butterfly effect. Aside from stopping the source of everything, any change in any link in the chain can potentially lead to more serious consequences.

Rule 3: Player time will not stop.

Rule 4: The truth must not be revealed to any islander in any form.

Rule 5: Restricting the personal freedom of any islander is prohibited.

"Damn it!" After reading all the rules, Song Gang's face turned very ugly.

He glanced at the newly joined Duan Chengze and Jiang Chen, and said in a somber tone, "You two are really unlucky. I've never seen a beginner dungeon with so many requirements!"

“There’s no point in saying that.” Liang Rumeng cautiously looked around and pointed to a small resort building by the beach, saying, “That should be a place to rest.”

Apart from the two newcomers, everyone else understood the rules.

Since we all live in the same building, and this is a cooperative instance, there's no need to hide anything. Whoever has items should use them as soon as possible. The more information we can get, the better it will be for us.

Five minutes later, everyone gathered in the hut to discuss the clues.

After she finished speaking, she walked alone to the other side of the beach, seemingly to use her own props;

Song Gang patted the invisible wall that separated the group on the beach, and stood on tiptoe to try to see what was happening on the island.

"Bad luck!" Tang Zixuan, the youngest internet addict, rolled his eyes and looked at the two newcomers with some hostility. He then followed Song Gang to look for a way out.

The little white cat stuck its tongue out at him, "Hehe~ You're really brave to talk back to the protagonist like this in a script like this!"

You're finished! You're dead!

Only Shi Xiaotong showed great enthusiasm, which was of course directed at the main character.

After all, Duan Chengze is handsome, just like all the main characters, and he has a halo that allows him to release special charm at any time.

"Little Stone, will I die today?" Shi Xiaotong pulled out the red string around her neck and asked the crystal pendant on it seriously.

It quickly turned completely green.

Shi Xiaotong said happily, "All green means it's completely safe, you can stay with me! My good luck is contagious!"

Duan Chengze seemed very interested in the props and asked a few questions.
