The Novel's Extra
Veiled behind reality, a world of sprawling academies, perilous dungeons, and formidable powers pulses with danger and opportunity. Here, heroes are forged in battle, wielding incredible skills and arcane abilities against monstrous threats that crawl from dimensional rifts. Every challenger dreams of rising through the ranks, claiming fame and fortune, or perhaps even protecting humanity from impending ruin. It's a grand stage for grand tales, a place where fate itself seems carved in stone for those destined for greatness.
But for Kim Hajin, this vibrant, perilous reality is nothing short of a nightmare. One moment, he’s a struggling writer, the next, he’s inexplicably dropped into the very web novel he created—not as the mighty protagonist, or even a cunning villain, but as a pitiful "extra" meant to fade into the background. Armed only with his intimate knowledge of the original plot, Hajin navigates this dangerous new existence, desperate for survival. Yet, as strange new events and glaring plot holes start to unravel the story he painstakingly crafted, what happens when even the author no longer knows the ending?
