Before I woke up, I had a dream about the end of the world. At first, it felt like a vivid nightmare that left me shaken. But as I slowly woke up, I realized that the dream was the pre-ending scene of my own novel. I am Zio Varrez, an unnamed character in my own book, and to my disappointment, an extra. As I lived in my novel's world, I couldn't help but feel that my existence was meaningless. But what made it worse was the fact that the ending of my book was the end of the world - a bad ending. I knew I had to do something to become strong enough to change the world's fate, even if it meant altering the story I once knew completely. Little did I know, there was more to this world than I realized, and the journey I was about to embark on would uncover secrets that I never even imagined. "I thought I knew everything about the world, but as I lived and experienced it, I realized there was so much more to it than I ever imagined." === Daily update! === Author note: The story is going on rather slow pace, expect the boredom for the early 60 chapters
"Filthy villain! Haaaa…!"
The A-rank hero shouted as he fought back the two villains who relentlessly attacking since earlier.
"Grahh!!"
Blocking the incoming attacks from the villains, he quickly pushed his advantage. While the villain was staggering and in an unbalanced position, the hero slashed him in the stomach.
One fall.
The other one disappeared as soon as his friend died and appeared again behind the A-rank hero, his sword at ready to pierce the hero.
Clang–!
"What?"
But, someone had parried the attack and disarmed him.
"Kid, what are you doing here? It's dangerous!"
It was the snow-colored hair boy with golden eyes, Lux. He ignored the hero as his attention was fully focused on the unarmed villain, and though his face was hidden behind the robe, the way he gritted his teeth was evidence of his frustration.
In a blink of an eye, Lux swung his sword and did not hesitate to kill his opponent.
