Zoom Backgrounds Pulp

I’m just a background student here. Stick to the edges, avoid the heroines, stay out of the way—that was my plan. Shame nobody told the five deadliest girls in the Academy that every dumb thought in my head was live commentary for them alone. Now they’re out for something I can’t escape: me

Everyone has friends in their lives, right? They can be anyone—good friends, bad friends, or even... friends with benefits. Ahem! Anyway, the point is, everyone has friends. And so did I. I was friends with author of web novel. Yeah, was. A small argument over how the main character should act in novel of [World’s Greatest Hero] led to a fight with my friend, the author. Still frustrated, I stormed out of his house... and that’s when Truck-kun hit me. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part? I woke up in a different body—the body of a side character in my friend’s novel. A character who is supposed to die in the prologue. I was Doomed from the start! [Your body is dying!] [You don’t have much time left.] [The creator of this world is mocking you.] F#ck you, Author. F#ck this novel. I will survive, and when I do—I'll beat you to a pulp! --- [WSA2025 ENTRY!] Additional tags: # Academy # Alternate World # Fantasy World # Male Protagonist # Misunderstandings # Multiple Love Interests # Obsessive Love # Possession # Romantic Subplot # Special Abilities # Transported to Another World # Yandere [Author Note:- I don't need any castle or spacecraft, etc. i think it's waste of money sending those big gifts. So save your money and just read if you like the novel.]

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage, a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels. At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe. But something was clearly off. The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger. [Title Earned: Background Character.] [Achievement Unlocked: Firm Mind.] [New Skill Acquired: Background Character's Aura.] [New Ability Acquired: Anti-Narrative Influence.] I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones. Let the protagonists play their scripted roles — I have my own path to power.

Synopsis: “Son, never sleep with a married woman.” That was my father’s final advice, right after being stabbed by a jealous husband. I took his words to heart. But fate was a bitch. I got bombed by a stupid fucker who thought I slept with his wife. Now, I’ve transmigrated into a flop fantasy novel my best friend wrote. The same one which I “improved” by butchering it into a game. Not as Villain. Not as the protagonist. Nope. I transmigrated as Rael Von Ashborn. An Extra. The same one, who was going to die in a few days because he kissed a married woman. Not just any woman but the Duchess of the Empire. Now, I’ve got two options: Unlock a powerful class... Or die at the hands of a psychopathic duke with a god-tier skill set. But naturally, fate decided to screw me over again. [YOU HAVE AWAKENED: JESTER CLASS] A joke of a class. Oh and did I mention my maid’s a gorilla? Right. Welcome to my hell. Or as the sadistic author of this world called it... “Extra’s Supremacy.” __________________ Additional Tags. #TransmigrationNovel #ClassAwakening #MagicAndMonsters #MorallyGrayProtagonist #SarcasticMC #VillainMCVibes #DarkHumorFantasy #SecondLife #HiddenIdentity #MysteriousAwakening #AlienInvasionFantasy #PoliticalIntrigue #PowerHierarchy #OverpoweredExtra #FantasyWithModernTwist #MagicAcademyWorld #WittyMC #CunningMC #ArrogantGenius #SlowBurnRomance #No-Harem ____________________ [Discord Server -https://discord.gg/Pu5JUj75VR ]

They thought he was just a shadow. A background. A nobody. A zero. But Jake Lagon was not part of their system. He was the thing they built the system to suppress. Born with no power. No stats. No fate. But when the balance breaks... and forbidden power rises... the one who was hiding steps forward. He is not a villain. He is not a hero. He is the darkness that hides secretly — And the truth that no one was ready for.

Tang Hao était un homme honnête qui gagnait honnêtement sa vie, mais malgré toute son honnêteté et sa gentillesse, la vie tournait souvent le dos. Même lorsqu'il a défendu un homme dans la rue, il a fini par être battu jusqu'à la pulpe et l'homme qu'il a défendu ? Il a disparu. Cela laissa Tang Hao sans rien à prouver et avec une lourde facture médicale qui épuisait ses économies. Cependant, alors qu'il était inconscient à l'hôpital, il pouvait sentir une chaleur provenant du pendentif de jade qu'il portait alors qu'il commençait à le nourrir d'une mine d'informations inestimables. Maintenant sorti de l'hôpital, et toujours armé de la même naïveté et honnêteté, que fera notre paysan villageois de ce nouveau pouvoir ? Conquerra-t-il les cœurs de cent femmes ?

Khael Corzedar always felt different but waking up in another world as a side character in his favorite manga turn to anime wasn’t what he expected. Once known as Shigeo Smith, a half-Japanese, half-American high school student and passionate anime fan, he’s now reborn as a minor background character in the world of Kaen Eclipse, the manga he loved growing up. He remembers every chapter, every fight, every tragic twist. The world of Elysera runs on Shinrei, a spiritual energy powered by emotion. It is a realm where only those who open their Vein Gates can become Veinwalkers, warriors whose hearts fuel their power. The story’s hero, Kaen Suro, is a cursed orphan with uncontrollable shade Affinity. In the manga, Kaen trains at a brutal Veinwalker academy, builds powerful friendships, and eventually rises to fight the monstrous Voidborn emotion-corrupted beings of destruction. Shigeo now Khael knows how the story ends. But in this world, he’s just an extra. One of many. A background name. A side character fated to die off-screen. Or so the story was. Armed with the knowledge of the original plot and the unpredictable nature of emotions, Khael Corzedar decides to forge his own path; to live, protect, and maybe even change the fate of Kaen Suro himself. Can an extra rewrite the story of a chosen one? Or will he vanish like a shadow in the background, as fate demands?

Ash Wynn just wants to live a quiet life and sleep through school like a proper slacker. Unfortunately, the universe has other plans. In a world where students awaken powerful magic classes, Ash is given the title of “Extra”—literally the most useless class in the entire academy. Or so everyone thinks. After tripping into a forgotten relic, Ash unlocks a hidden skill: [Absurd Luck: SSS-Rank], a passive ability that causes everything around him to go hilariously in his favor. Miss a test? It gets postponed. Bullies? They fall into a dungeon trap before touching him. Monsters? Accidentally defeated when he’s just sneezing. Ash doesn’t fight. He doesn’t train. But somehow… legends are starting to whisper his name. He’s not a hero. He’s not a villain. He’s just trying to nap.

The third-tier villain is the kind of background character that exists solely to be a punching bag for the protagonist, the type no one bothers to remember after three chapters. He had reincarnated as Schwarz Skywalker—exactly that kind of third-rate villain. Is the desire for peace too much to ask for?

Iwasaki Yuto is an ordinary college student who views himself as nothing more than an unremarkable "NPC" in the grand scheme of life. He goes through his days quietly, blending into the background at school and keeping to himself. His world revolves around gaming, anime, and escaping the harsh reality of his social invisibility. Yet, despite his attempts to stay unnoticed, he can’t shake the feeling that something is missing—especially when it comes to love. In his daily routine, Yuto faces the same struggles of rejection, loneliness, and self-doubt. He watches others live out their high school romance fantasies while he remains on the sidelines, quietly wishing for a chance to experience something meaningful. But when fate throws him into unexpected situations and confrontations, Yuto begins to question if he’ll always be a background character in his own life—or if, somehow, he’s destined for more than the ordinary existence he’s resigned himself to.

Shivam was just a normal guy. A government employee finally living a stable life after surviving an orphan’s hell and fighting tooth and nail through every damn obstacle life threw his way. He love anime, web novels, and his one true obsession light novels. His favorite? Transmigrated as a Third-Rate Villain. The plot? Fire. The fights? Insane. The worldbuilding? God-tier. And the characters? Untouchable—especially Marcus Ardent and Daelen Vorcrest, the last heroes of mankind. But then came the final chapter. Marcus dead. Daelen gone. The entire continent, erased with a single, lazy keystroke. “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!” “What kind of brain-dead garbage ending is this?! You killed everyone for shock value! You threw away the best characters like trash!” Shivam didn’t just hate-comment the author. He cursed them. Then went to sleep. And woke up as Ezra Celestrian. The most forgettable side character in the novel. A man who was supposed to be dead. Only… something’s wrong. Ezra isn’t weak. He never was. He was the strongest human side character in the novel—so talented, the author killed him early to keep the power scaling in check. But now Shivam is him. And the story is no longer in the author’s hands. “Why the hell do I keep talking like a noble?” “What the fuck is this ‘Divine Enemy’ trait!?” The world believes Ezra is dead. But Shivam’s done playing along. “You dragged me into your broken story. You killed my favorite characters. You erased everything I loved for a cheap twist.” “Fine. I’ll fix your mess. I’ll rewrite your story.” “And when I find you, ‘Author’—I swear to god, I’m gonna shove that ending down your throat.” —————— Now available: +5 Chapter Bundle for just 500 Coins! Support this poor author and get ahead of the story! Ezra won’t wait—and neither will the plot twists..

In a world torn apart by ancient enmities, a marriage of convenience is brokered between the rival nations of Solyria and Nuria. The union is steeped in political intrigue and desperation, as the curse afflicting the Solyrian prince can only be cured by a nurian person—a member of the enemy nation. Caught in the midst of this arrangement are Noori, the daughter of the Emperor of Nuria, and Dastan, the cursed prince of Solyria. Their fates become intertwined as they are bound together in matrimony, despite their vastly different backgrounds and intentions. For Dastan, the marriage represents a means to an end—the lifting of his curse. Once freed from his affliction, he seeks to dissolve the union and reclaim his sovereignty. However, Noori harbors a deeper agenda. Driven by a desire for revenge against the Solyrian kingdom, she sees the marriage as an opportunity to sow discord and chaos from within. What happens when their hateful relationship evolves into something more, forcing one of them to reconsider their plans to save the marriage? And when their hidden histories are revealed, will they be able to maintain their marriage amidst the turmoil?

Orion was a homeless orphan living in the human settlement Central. The boy was, for lack of a better word, stupid—not because he lacked intelligence (no, he was actually pretty normal intellectually speaking), but what else would you call a person who smiled after getting beat to a pulp?! Stupid! STUPID THROUGH AND THROUGH! With his luck too, he was constantly getting beaten—punched by thieves, punched by beggars, punched by beggar thieves! But somehow, as long as he came out alive by the end, he thought it was a win. To him, the thrill of throwing himself into a helpless situation and coming out on top was exhilarating—the adrenaline pumping through his veins, the sweat running down his skin, the body aching from overuse. It was all so miserable, but somehow, when everything passed, he felt a rush of exstasy that surpassed all pain endured. Until the day came when he was met with a truly terrifying enemy. But he was used to it—steadying his resolve, analyzing the environment, and planning how to survive. But there was no surviving then. There was only death, and that was what awaited him. So he died… But he lived. And now, he was faced with two options for the future: help save humanity from doom, or aid its destruction. Note 1: HEAVILY inspired by Shadow Slave, this novel is an attempt at giving G3's masterpiece some of my own ideas. Not tagged as fanfiction because the story doesn’t happen in the same universe as Shadow Slave. Note 2: This storyu will skip a bit of context, but please take things at face value at first, i'll explain everything at the right time, i just don't want to give everybody walls of text of world building every 2 paragraphs.

I’ve always been the background character. The kind of guy who doesn’t stand out—quiet, average, forgettable. I didn’t mind. In fact, I preferred it that way. Life was simpler when you kept your head down and didn’t get involved. Go to school, go home, blend in. That was until Koharu Minami barged into my life—loud, messy, annoyingly persistent... and definitely not cute. At least, that’s what I kept telling myself. She’s a first-year transfer student with way too much energy and zero sense of personal space. For some reason, she’s taken an interest in me, the “NPC senpai” as she jokingly calls me. Whether it’s dragging me into weird club activities, forcing me to eat lunch with her under the sakura tree, or making me help her chase some bizarre dream she won’t tell anyone about—Koharu is chaos incarnate. But somewhere between her absurd antics, awkward confessions, and unexpected vulnerability, I realized something terrifying: I think I’ve fallen for her. And maybe... just maybe... I don’t want to be a background character anymore. ---

In the world of Love & Lamentations—a seemingly innocent dating sim hiding a brutal horror core—Yuna is just a nameless background NPC. Her job? Repeat a scripted warning, get ignored, and die horribly every time the Player triggers another bad ending. But when a massive glitch shakes the system, Yuna gains something no NPC should have: self-awareness. Armed with minor glitch powers like Object Shift and HUD Vision, Yuna realizes this isn't a game about love—it's a digital nightmare filled with corrupted monsters, memory resets, and a sentient bug called The Entity that devours NPC code. Teaming up with other “glitched” NPCs—including Prince Damian, who remembers all 100+ of his violent deaths—Yuna leads a rebellion from within the code. Their enemy? The Player, aka Nyx, an elite speedrunner who’s also the game’s hidden developer. As safe zones collapse and reality unravels, Yuna must choose: escape to her dying human body in the real world… or overwrite the system and give NPCs real lives of their own. Tagline: If the Player is a god—then I’m the virus that’ll crash their heaven.
