Synopsis
Rey was just an ordinary student—until he died... and woke up in a world he thought he’d left behind forever: the world of The Hero’s Rise, the cringe fantasy novel he wrote years ago and abandoned in disgust. Now, trapped inside his own half-baked story, Rey has to deal with a broken world filled with unfinished quests, overpowered villains, and plot holes big enough to fall into. To make matters worse, the system that reincarnated him is pushy, relentless—and a little too obsessed with forcing him to "save the world." Rey also discovered something terrifying: The book he had written... was a living world of its own— And it felt real. Far too real...

Chapter 1 - Reincarnation

Lost...

I'm lost.

Where am I? Who am I? What is this place?

Why am I here?

I was running to get to school on time when...

When what?

Something must've happened for me to end up in this place, right?

Can this snow-white space even be called a room?

I still don't get it... Why am I here?

[System activated]

What the hell is that?

[Installation complete: Please enter a name.]

What kind of bullshit is this?

["What kind of bullshit is this?" cannot be accepted as a valid name. Please enter a new one.]

I don't get it. I literally didn't do anything and suddenly I'm stuck in some shady setup where a damn system is asking me for a name.

[Host, please enter a name.]

DON'T. WANT. TO.

No matter what you say, I WON'T DO IT.

There's one thing I hate more than anything—being forced to do something.

So now, you better just shut the he—

AHHH! Fine, fine! I'll give you a damn name. Say it one more time and I swe—

[Please enter a name.]

OK, OK, I get it now. I take everything back. I'll give you a name... uhhh... Rey. Yeah, let's go with Rey.

[Thank you, Rey, and welcome!]

What do you want from me?

[Perfect timing! Let me explain the situation. Do you remember the book you wrote more than four years ago?]

Yeah, my first book: The Hero's Rise. What a mess that was. So damn cliché, nothing made sense. Halfway through, I hated it so much I just gave up and ended it.

Not like anyone was really reading that garbage anyway...

[The Hero's Rise is the world where you'll be reincarnated.]

What—?

[Stop, stop. No questions. Let me finish. You died in your original world—sadly, a car hit you. Now, you have the chance to reincarnate. Why The Hero's Rise? Well—Too much info. Anyway, your mission is simple: save the world you once created to be destroyed. Do you accept?]

Of course not! Why the hell would I? I'm dead—let me go to hell or heaven or whatever. I don't want to be reincarnated. The Hero's Rise is basically unbeatable.

So many plot holes and unfinished arcs.

The final boss? Literally invincible. I know—I WROTE IT.

What do I even get in return? All this blah blah is nice and all, but assuming I actually agree... what's in it for me?

[If you save the world, you will be granted one wish.]

Huh? Anything? Like... really anything? No joke?

[Anything.]

Even seeing... my parents again?

[Yes. Your deceased parents can be brought back to life. So, Rey, do you accept this mission—]

Send me.

Send me to that damn world.

I'll save it. No matter what happens...

I'll overcome everything.

Even if I have to kill an immortal, unbeatable boss...

Just so I can see my parents again.

[I admire your determination, but... be careful. The character you're being reincarnated into is... a bit special.]

What? What do you mean "special"? Don't tell me it's an extr—

[Reincarnation!]
