Is this enough?

Vyna: Peas and his party aren’t bound by any script written into this world.

Vijayatra: How’s that possible?

Vyna: None of them were ever destined for greatness. They were meant to be background characters — mere NPCs. But they made their own choices, and by doing so, they broke free from the cosmic narrative set by the Higher Being.

Vijayatra: So that’s why they can’t be affected by His changes — they were never supposed to exist in the first place!

Vyna: Not exactly. They changed their own fate and destiny. By walking an unknown path, they created their own story, rewriting what was once fixed by the world itself.

Vijayatra: Doesn’t that still mean they’re bound by that story?

Vyna: No. Their actions reshape the world’s very foundation. Even the smallest choice they make keeps altering the narrative itself.

Also this,

Peas was cast into the Void — a realm without space, without time, a nothingness from which all things are born.
Being the was for is, Peas’s very existence began to fade into a state of non-not-nothingness.
And yet, because he never truly was nor is, Peas returned from it.

By the way Void erases a being "role" in the story.
 
"cosmic narrative," "script," "rewriting what was once fixed," and especially "altering the narrative itself." Their actions are actively changing the fundamental story of their reality, which should fit Plot Manipulation.

The Void itself has Plot Manipulation via Existence Erasure (erasing a "role in the story"). Peas surviving this because "he never truly was nor is" is a powerful resistance feat against that specific hax. It implies he has no set "role" to be erased in the first place because he's the one writing his story as he goes.

Like this?

Passive Plot Manipulation (Exists outside the cosmic narrative written by the Higher Being, constantly reshaping and rewriting the story’s foundation through his actions and choices, thereby altering the predetermined script of reality itself)

Resistance to Plot Manipulation (Unaffected by the Higher Being’s attempts to control or rewrite the story, as he and his party act independently of the world’s narrative structure and make choices that redefine the cosmic script)

Resistance to Existence Erasure (Survived being cast into the Void, a realm that erases a being’s “role” in the story; resisted complete erasure because he has no predefined role to remove, existing outside the written framework of the world)

Seems pretty blatant plot manip based off the choice of wording.

Not completely sure, but this could also be a regeneration feat (HGR - Plot). And the Void clearly has Existence Erasure (Plot)
But given that Peas doesn't exist or is bound by the narrative to begin with, it's argueable that there is nothing (place in narrative) of him to be erased to begin with.

However, that also has its own standards. Like if we have a character with no soul and his physical body is destroyed, we treat it as MGR instead of LGR, so the same probably applies here and we get our good old HGR (plot).
