Would it be a dream to wake up in a world of your own creation? For Kim Hajin, it is nothing short of a nightmare.
He is a web novel author. He spent years crafting a world of magic, monsters, and heroes. He knows every character, every plot twist, every hidden secret. The story is his baby.
Then he wakes up inside that story. Not as the protagonist. Not as the villain. Not even as a supporting character worth naming.
He is an extra. A nobody. A face in the crowd that was never meant to matter.
In most novels, an extra exists to die off-screen or fade into obscurity. Hajin knows this better than anyone. He wrote the rules. He created the world where extras are disposable.
But now he is the disposable one.
Lucky for him, as the author, he knows this perilous world like the back of his hand. Every hidden treasure. Every secret passage. Every weakness of every monster and villain. He has the ultimate cheat code: complete knowledge of his own story.
Then things start changing. Discrepancies appear. Plot points shift. Characters act in ways he never wrote. Events happen that he never planned.
Someone else is rewriting his novel. And he is still trapped inside it.
Can the author survive as an extra in a story that is no longer his own?
