The Testaments of a Failed Author's Survival

Ethan Locks is a failed writer. Twelve years of chasing his dream has left him with nothing but ridicule, debt, and the bitter taste of regret. His final web novel—War of the Gods—was meant to be his redemption, but it ended only in scorn and mockery. Alone in his filthy apartment, facing eviction and despair, Ethan resigns himself to failure. But one strange comment on his final chapter changes everything. “If you were transported into your own story… how long would you survive?” When his answer earns the attention of something far beyond human, his world collapses—literally. Dragged into the very reality he created, Ethan awakens in a realm of gods, monsters, and treacherous deities that heed no mortal law. With no power of his own, hunted by horrors of his own imagination, and betrayed by characters he once wrote to be heroes, survival seems impossible. Yet, in this cruel new world, the author may not remain powerless forever. Every choice, every death, every truth hidden in his words may be the key to rewriting his own fate. Now, Ethan must face the greatest story ever told—his own. And this time, the ending is not yet written.
