Reincarnated as a minor character in a video game world, who would you choose to be?

[Bristlecone]

The god of video games forces you to play as a minor character in the new world he made.
So, you choose...

1. NPC. You can't speak or level up, but you are indestructible.

2. Mob. You can level up and revive countless times, but you can't use items or equipment.

3. Member of the hero party. All your needs will be provided by the protagonist, but you can never act on your own (you can't leave the protagonist's side or use your money by yourself).

4. First boss. You will have full control of your small dungeon (one floor), death will leave you bodiless for a week before reviving (You can't manage the dungeon in that state) and you will not be able to leave your dungeon.

First boss, ez. I'm actually really good at finding loopholes in games. I could do the same here and make the traps annoying as fuck. Low-level or not, there's bound to be something that will be a pain in the ass to handle.

1 doesn't say I can't move, sooo

Follow the hero party and intentionally bring myself in harms way only to walk out unscathed.

Not to help them, just to watch them freak out

So an anti-social and weak but undestructible, depending on the setting and the world it could be decent.

A cannon-foddler with another name and almost useless. Depends on the power system or finding an ally like a demon lord and become an aid. Could be fun supporting some starting dungeon master and forge a relationship.

Slave with another name. Pretty much playing a story line game wih pretty much nothing to do exept some vengance, dark and twisted story where you make the hero die to free yourself from your slaver?

An actual option. A lot of play but also done already, numerous times.

You are litteraly saying 'choose 4' unless you give some decent twist.

The number 2 could be decent if you start stacking stats, skills and passives.

Mob seems to be a good pick. I'd pick an npc, but I like speaking

Easily 4, 2 is just asking to become Subaru 2.0. If I have full control I could just turn my dungeon into a profitable business or something, no rules saying the first boss can't be a shopkeeper(usually they're the hidden overpowered. boss though XD)

1 has a lot of trolling potential though.
