Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

At noon, the sun shines on the square of Lingdang Town, and the bustling noise of people makes the whole town a little hot.

A cloaked figure stood silently among the coming and going crowd, his eyes looking through the line of sight at the woman in the flower garden.

Is this the goal this time?

His name is Gu Zhou, he is a gamer, fifteen years old. Influenced by various film and television works, he is at an age that he will feel extremely ashamed of when he looks back when he grows up.

In daily life, he always fantasizes about having all kinds of cool abilities, such as going back in time, or... becoming an assassin.

However, in real life, the teasing looks and ridicule of classmates often hit the self-esteem of teenagers. Fortunately, all this will not happen in this game!

Even if he covered himself tightly with a cloak, passers-by would not find it strange!

I am the sharp blade lurking in the shadows at this moment! So cool!

“Hehe….Hehehe….”

He couldn't help but laugh, while trying to control his laughter and keep it between what he considered mysterious and cool.

Even so, the players passing by just glanced at it and hurried past.

Gu Zhou didn't care at all, thinking that those people must have realized that he was not simple.

That's right, not long ago, he finally got the long-awaited proof that he is the protagonist! He is the chosen one!

Why? Of course, he was recognized by God and gained power beyond ordinary people!

[The Ghostly God's Choice: Haunted! ]

[The damage you take increases by 400%, the damage you cause increases by 50%, and the secondary attribute affected by agility increases by %]

[You will not die, and you will gain two states, entity/spirit]

[In the physical state, you are no different from an ordinary person. When your life reaches zero, you will automatically enter the ghost state.]

[The ghost state is similar to the death state, but the damage caused is no longer reduced (normal players will turn into ghosts after death with all attributes reduced by 50%), but is increased by an additional %, and skills can be released. At the same time, the maximum life is constant at . In the ghost state, the state of the physical state will be slowly restored. After ten minutes, it will automatically convert to the physical state.]

[If the health value reaches zero in the ghost state, it will be directly converted to the physical state, and the physical state will be restored according to the duration of the ghost state (if the ghost is killed in the fifth minute, it will be converted into a physical state with half the health value, and so on)]

[Whether in physical or spirit form, the experience value will be reduced normally after the health value reaches zero]

God's Chosen! Haunted!

Not to mention the effects, just these few words that seemed so cool to him made his brain tremble with excitement!

Various gorgeous assassination scenes kept appearing in his mind. In the future, he would be the representative of assassins in this game!

Although this skill has many side effects, its strength is also uniquely high!

Even though Gu Zhou didn't have much idea about this game, the 50% damage increase under normal circumstances and 100% damage increase in the ghost state were enough for him to know the uniqueness of this skill!

Not to mention the extremely special ghost state! In the ghost state, he is the same as the normal soul state after death, he can pass through walls and run around the map, but the difference is that he can release skills!

Previously, he had tested his strength in the Phantom Mode. Now that he was at level 11, he could kill a level 15 player instantly with a back strike!

This is a challenge beyond your level!

Although you have to take four times the extra damage, and because you need to "die" to switch states, the experience points will be deducted each time, causing you to fall behind in level.

But... taking an unconventional approach, isn't that exactly the effect he wants?

If he is not extreme and has no characteristics, how can he be called a protagonist?

He has already imagined a scene in the future where he makes the dungeon boss untouchable, then suddenly appears and kills him gorgeously, and then the girl throws herself into his arms!

Yes! Just like the NPC that is very popular on the forum now! Then someone recorded it in a video and posted it online... It's so cool!

Of course, now is not the time to daydream, and there is another thing that makes him even more excited!

After he was chosen by God, a group of people in black robes suddenly emerged from the shadows and called him the future master! Of course, these people would not work for him now, but simply introduced themselves, but it was enough.

Is there anything cooler than this?

That was true. Very soon, the Ghost God who had chosen him gave him an assassination mission!

In the name of God, eradicate heresy! How romantic!

You know, on the forum, the NPC named Hill has attracted countless fans with just the phrase "bring down divine punishment". Even he has read it dozens of times and even collected it. It is the coolest thing in the universe!

He had forgotten about it last time, but this time, he couldn't wait to say a word when fulfilling God's will!

And now, the woman he is staring at is the target of this time!

Eh? Where are the people!?

Gu Zhou came back to his senses from his fantasy and looked at the empty flower garden in shock.

Shit! I’m in a daze again!

He was about to slap himself in anger, but quickly shook his head.

No, no, I am a cold-blooded killer, I need to stay calm...

Thinking of this, he quickly held his forehead, sneered, and then whispered in a deep voice, disappearing into the crowd: "Haha, you can't escape from my palm..."

Soon, he found his target. It turned out that the woman just went to fetch a pot of water to water the flowers. Damn, he almost got cheated.

He returned to his position again and waited for the opportunity until the woman emptied the water in the pot again and went into the house. He smiled evilly, went to a dark corner, and stabbed himself with a knife.

The four times the damage he endured and the fifty percent damage bonus made him instantly become transparent.

He walked out of the alley, passed through the wall as if no one was around, and entered the inner room of the flower garden...

Inside the room, the woman seemed a little tired. She sat on a chair, wiped the sweat off her face with the towel hanging around her neck, and looked at the copper coins she earned today in the small bag in her hand with a warm smile.

Really defenseless...

Gu Zhou smiled, walked up behind the woman, and slowly raised the dagger...

"Aunt Leila." Suddenly, at this moment, a crisp knock on the door accompanied by a question made him stunned.

The woman also heard the knock on the door and got up and walked towards the door.

"Squeak-"

The door was slowly opened, and the woman looked at the person knocking on the door and immediately laughed.

"Is that Hill? What's wrong? What's going on?" She quickly made way for him to enter the house, and curiously asked, "Are you here to buy flowers again today?"

"No, I just saw that no one was in Aunt Leila's shop, so I wanted to come and take a look." Hill shook his head, smiled, and walked into the house: "It's a bit chaotic recently, you know..."

"Yes, yes, I never thought that little Hill has become a big shot now. The safety of us little civilians is now in your hands..."

Leila smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something and stood up immediately: "Ah! By the way, did the priest like the moonlight flowers last time? Auntie specially left a large bunch for you, come, take it."

"How did you know?" Hill stared in surprise: "I didn't say who I was going to give it to..."

"Hahaha... Look at what you said," Leila couldn't help laughing. "Priest, there has never been a moonflower on your windowsill before. If it wasn't given by you, could it have grown there? Come on, take it."

As she spoke, she handed Hill a large bunch of flowers that she had prepared long ago.

However, Hill scratched his nose awkwardly, took a half step back, and shook his head: "Uh...Thank you, no thanks."

"Why?" Leila was stunned and glared at him deliberately, "Why are you being polite to your aunt?"

"Uh..." Hill was even more embarrassed: "Alice... is allergic to moonflowers..."
