I Am an Extra In the Apocalypse World Novel (Bl)
Pei-Pei's ranting
The dim glow of a phone screen lights up Pei-pei’s face. He scrolls down the last paragraph, eyes wide.
Pei-Pei
No no no no—WHAT?!
He freezes, stares at the screen for a long moment, then drops the phone onto the bed.
He grabs a pillow, smothers his face in it, and screams.
Pei-Pei
WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!
Pei-Pei
HE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT ENDING!
He rolls over dramatically, kicking his blanket off the bed.
Pei-Pei
He literally carried that idiot through the apocalypse!
Pei-Pei
He fought zombies, cooked meals, risked his life—AND FOR WHAT?!
Pei-Pei
For that scumbag to save his “white moonlight”? 💢
He sits up, clutching his pillow like it owes him money.
Pei-Pei
Author-nim, we need to talk.
Pei-Pei
You can’t just make my favorite character die like that!
Pei-Pei
Especially when his name’s Gu Xing Pei! 😭
Pei-Pei
Are you targeting me personally?!💢
He grabs his phone again, opening the comment section with furious determination.
Pei-Pei
Dear author, I hope your Wi-Fi disconnects every time you try to upload a chapter.
Pei-Pei
How DARE you kill Gu Xing Pei like that?!
Pei-Pei
Do you enjoy watching kind, loyal characters suffer?!
He pauses, glares at the screen, then types more aggressively.
Pei-Pei
Also, your protagonist is a walking red flag.
Pei-Pei
That scumbag boyfriend? Trash. Garbage. Zombie food. I said what I said.
He slams send, tosses the phone aside, and flops backward on the bed, sighing dramatically.
Pei-Pei
Why do I always fall for the cannon fodder types…
He stares at the ceiling, voice soft and tragic.
Pei-Pei
Maybe next time I’ll just love myself instead.
Pei-Pei
Yeah… Gu Xing Pei deserves better.
Pei-Pei
But damn it, that scumbag was so handsome.
After a long sigh, he pulls the phone back toward him. His thumb hovers over the novel’s title, then he scrolls up to check the tags.
Pei-Pei
Okay, maybe I missed something.
Pei-Pei
Maybe the author tagged it wrong or—
Pei-Pei
(He reads the tags out loud, one by one.)
Pei-Pei
Apocalypse. Rebirth. Power upgrade. Harem.
Pei-Pei
(He scrolls faster, eyes widening)
Pei-Pei
No wonder that scumbag ex had so many scenes!
He taps into the character list and nearly drops his phone.
Pei-Pei
The protagonist is Gu Yan Li… and one of the MLs is Bai Zhen— that’s the guy who dumped my poor Xing Pei?!
Pei-Pei
Oh my god, so my favorite character died for his ex-boyfriend’s new harem?!
He sits up, clutching his head like his soul just left his body.
Pei-Pei
This is beyond pain.
Pei-Pei
This is psychological warfare.
He scrolls again, reading the summary aloud in disbelief.
Pei-Pei
“After the apocalypse, Gu Yan Li uses his mysterious ability to gather four powerful men and rebuild the new world.”
Pei-Pei
Rebuild the world—and the author’s fantasy!
He flops back, covering his face with the pillow again.
Pei-Pei
He was loyal, brave, and criminally underappreciated.
Pei-Pei
And he died saving that ungrateful cousin of his that protagonist.
Pei-Pei
Why is life—fictional or not—so unfair?
There’s a sudden knock at the door.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Pei-pei?
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You still awake?
Pei-pei freezes, quickly locking his phone and sitting up straight.
Pei-Pei
Totally not screaming into my pillow or emotionally breaking down over fictional characters!
The door creaks open, revealing his uncle—young-looking despite being in his late twenties, sleeves rolled up, casual but composed. He eyes Pei-pei with mild concern.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
(amused)
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Right...
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Well, dinner’s ready.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Come eat before it gets cold.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You look like you just lost a war.
Pei-Pei
I lost something worse, Uncle.
Pei-Pei
My faith in authors.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Let me guess… another tragic ending?
Pei-Pei
My favorite character died saving his ex’s white moonlight.
Pei-Pei
And then I found out it’s a harem story. 😩
Pei-Pei
A harem, Uncle! My emotional investment was a scam!
Gu Xingo chuckles, leaning against the doorframe.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You’re too softhearted for your own good.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Come on, cry over your rice instead of your pillow.
Pei-pei groans but gets up, dragging his feet like the weight of the fandom is on his shoulders.
Pei-Pei
Fine, but I’m not forgiving that author.
Pei-Pei
Not in this lifetime.
As he leaves the room, he glances back at his phone still glowing on the bed — the cover of the novel faintly visible on the screen: “The Last Dawn: Apocalypse.”
Pei-Pei
(muttering) Gu Yan Li, Bai Zhen… just you wait.
☆Ms.Lazy☆
Hi dearest readers 💖
☆Ms.Lazy☆
I know another story again 😅
☆Ms.Lazy☆
But I can't help it... I hope you will continue supporting me.
Am I dreaming?
The sound of clinking dishes fills the quiet air as Pei-pei pokes lazily at his rice.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You’re eating like the world just ended.
Pei-Pei
Might as well have.
Pei-Pei
My favorite character died for love that wasn’t even his.
Gu Xingo sets down his chopsticks and gives him that half-stern, half-amused look.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You’re nineteen, Pei-pei.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Maybe try reading your textbooks instead of those melodramatic novels.
Pei-Pei
It’s literature, Uncle.
Pei-Pei
It builds character and empathy.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
It builds procrastination and dark circles under your eyes.
Pei-pei grins, not arguing that one. The mood is light and comfortable.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You’ve got your entrance exams next month.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Don’t waste your time daydreaming about fictional people.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Real life’s hard enough.
Pei-Pei
(Pei-pei sighs, resting his chin in his hand)
Pei-Pei
I know, I know. It’s just…
Pei-Pei
Sometimes stories are easier than real life.
Gu Xingo’s expression softens. He reaches out and gently taps Pei-pei’s forehead with his chopsticks.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Stories won’t feed you.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Study first, dream later.
Pei-Pei
I’ll be a responsible adult tomorrow.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
You said that yesterday too😏
They share a quiet laugh. The mood feels grounded again—safe and peaceful.
A low hum fills the air. The light above the table flickers once, twice... then flares blindingly bright.
The brightness explodes into pure white, flooding the room like daylight breaking through glass. Pei-pei and Gu Xingo both shield their eyes, the air vibrating with a strange, electric pulse.
Gu Xingo (Pei Uncle)
Pei-pei! Get down—!
Before Pei-pei can move, everything is swallowed by light—searing, endless, absolute…
A sharp ringing fills Pei-pei’s ears, like a siren trapped in his skull. He groans softly, blinking his eyes open. The ceiling above him isn’t familiar. The soft beige walls, the antique furniture, the faint smell of sandalwood—it’s definitely not his uncle’s apartment.
His ears are still buzzing. Everything sounds muffled, like he’s underwater. He pushes himself up from the floor, blinking rapidly. Before he can even make sense of his surroundings—
The booming voice nearly makes him jump out of his skin.
Standing in front of him is an elderly man—broad-shouldered, silver-haired, but with a sharp gaze that could cut through steel. The man’s tone carries both authority and irritation.
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
You’ve embarrassed the family again!
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
How many times have I told you to study harder?
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
Your cousin, Gu Yan Li, has already made it into Fren University as the top student!
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
And you—what have you done?!
Pei-pei stares, his mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. His brain is lagging several seconds behind the conversation.
Pei-Pei
💭Wait. Did he just say—Gu Yan Li?
His heart stutters. That name… it’s the protagonist’s name. The main character of the apocalypse novel he was just reading!
Pei-Pei
(thinking frantically)
Pei-Pei
💭No way. That can’t be right. This has to be a dream. Right?
He glances around—the luxurious room, the expensive-looking furniture, the faint sound of a piano somewhere in the background. Everything feels too real. He reaches up and pinches his arm—hard.
His face twists in pain. The elder man’s expression darkens further.
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
You still have the nerve to make faces at me?! 💢
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
Look at yourself—daydreaming while I’m talking! 💢
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
No discipline, no ambition! You’ll never live up to your cousin if you keep wasting your time like this!💢
Pei-pei freezes again. His mind is racing, pieces falling into place one by one. This scene—it’s familiar.
Pei-Pei
💭This is it… this is the start of the novel.
Pei-Pei
💭The family dinner where everyone praises Gu Yan Li for getting into university.
Pei-Pei
💭Two weeks before the apocalypse begins.
His pulse quickens. The realization hits hard—like a cold splash of water.
Pei-Pei
💭Wait, then… that means I… I’m Gu Xing Pei—the extra?
Pei-Pei
💭The cannon fodder who dies saving his cousin later?!
The elder continues to scold him, but the words blur into meaningless noise. Pei-pei’s mind is a storm.
Pei-Pei
💭No way. No way. No way. I was just eating dinner with Uncle Xingo!
Pei-Pei
💭How did I end up here?
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
(snapping) Gu Xing Pei!💢
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
Are you even listening to me?!
Pei-pei blinks rapidly, forcing a nervous laugh.
Pei-Pei
Uh… I, uh… I’m listening!
Pei-Pei
Loud and clear, sir I mean Grandpa!
The old man narrows his eyes, clearly unconvinced, but waves a hand dismissively.
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
Go reflect on yourself.
Gu Man [Head of Gu]
I don’t want to see you at the table until you understand what it means to bring honor to your name.
Pei-pei bows his head quickly and retreats, heart pounding. As he turns the corner, he leans against the wall, clutching his chest.
Pei-Pei
(whispering) This… this isn’t a dream, is it?
In the next room, he hears faint voices—relatives laughing, a younger man being congratulated.
Unknown
(proudly) Our Yan Li has always been exceptional. He’ll achieve great things.
Pei-Pei
(Chill running down his spine)
Pei-Pei
I really transmigrated into the novel.

Meet the protagonist
Pei-pei—or rather, Gu Xing Pei—leans against the wall, trying to calm his racing heart.
His reflection in the glossy cabinet glass catches his attention.
Pei-Pei
Wait… this isn’t my face.
A pair of wide, silver-gray eyes stare back at him—smooth, fair skin that looks too delicate for real life, and soft silver hair framing an absurdly pretty face.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(Blink once)
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(twice)
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(murmuring) Oh my god… I’m—pretty?
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(pinches his cheek)
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
That hurts 😢
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭So this is Gu Xing Pei’s body…
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭Nineteen hmm same age, spoiled? Nahhe's just rich, and soft as a steamed bun.
He looks down at himself—thin wrists, pale fingers, dressed in a crisp shirt and tailored pants. Everything about him screams money and indulgence.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(half in awe, half panicked)
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
I’m really him.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
The cannon fodder who dies saving his cousin.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(He groans under his breath)
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
Why couldn’t I wake up as the protagonist for once?
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
Just once!
Before he can spiral further, he hears footsteps approaching.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(stiffens)
A tall young man enters the hall, enter. His presence is quiet but commanding. He has sharp, beautiful eyes, the kind that seem to see through people—but when he smiles, it’s soft and humble.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
Cousin Xing Pei.
Pei-pei’s stomach flips. That voice—gentle, polite—exactly as the novel described.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭Gu Yan Li. The golden boy. The favorite of the Gu family. The future survivor king of the apocalypse. And the master manipulator who pretends to be a saint while outsmarting everyone.
He straightens up quickly, trying to act natural.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
O-Oh. Yan Li… Congrats, I heard you made it to Fern University.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
(smiles modestly)
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
It’s nothing, really.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
I just got lucky this time.
Pei-pei stares at him blankly.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭Lucky? Yeah right. In the novel, this guy planned every step of his success like a chess master.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭Green tea at its finest.
Gu Yan Li tilts his head slightly, watching Pei-pei’s strange expression.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
Cousin, are you alright?
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
You look… dazed.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(forcing a laugh) Dazed? Me? No, no, I’m fine! Totally fine. Just admiring—uh—your humility! Very inspiring. Yep.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
(chuckles softly)
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
You flatter me too much, cousin.
Pei-pei’s skin prickles. He forces another awkward laugh, trying not to give away his thoughts.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(thinking nervously)
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭Okay, calm down. Two weeks before the apocalypse. If I just play it safe, maybe I can survive this world and avoid the tragic death flag.
Gu Yan Li’s gaze lingers for a moment longer before he turns away.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
Grandfather’s in a bad mood today.
Gu Yan Li (Protagonist)
You should be careful not to make him angrier.
He leaves with quiet footsteps, polite as ever. Pei-pei exhales only after he disappears from sight.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(whispering) Holy crap. He’s even scarier in person.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭Alright. New rule: stay out of Gu Yan Li’s way. No dying for cousins, no tragic cannon-fodder endings.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
💭From now on, I’m just a pretty background character who lives long and eats well.
He straightens up, giving himself a tiny thumbs-up.
Gu Xing Pei (Pei-Pei)
(muttering) Operation: Survive the Plot, begins now.
