Trapped inside the incomplete manuscript he once edited, a proofreader awakens as an expendable character in a world spiraling toward catastrophe. The narrative is fractured, the hero destined to fail, and a cataclysm looms that threatens to consume everything—including his own existence. Armed with nothing but intellect and resentment, he refuses to depend on a doomed protagonist's path. Instead, he carves his own destiny through cunning and defiance, determined to stand against the approaching ruin. In a story where every page edges closer to collapse, survival becomes an act of rebellion. "Why stake my fate on a self-righteous fool heading toward oblivion? I'll forge my own way. Let everything else burn." In a fractured fantasy world teetering on the edge, a nameless extra must outsmart the very plot that binds him—or perish with it.
