Orphaned, overworked, and alone, John Avery found purpose in the pages of a webnovel. He was weak—so he admired the hero’s strength. He was poor—so he envied the hero’s wealth. He was lonely—so he cherished the hero’s bonds. He lived through fiction… until fiction became his life. When John dies a quiet, forgotten death at his desk, he expects nothing. But fate has other plans. He opens his eyes—not in heaven, not in hell, but in the very world of the novel that once saved him. Reborn as Cassian Gray, noble heir to a powerful house and blessed with a mysterious Reader’s System, he’s been given the impossible: A second life in a world he knows better than anyone else. Now armed with knowledge, magic, and ambition, John refuses to live as a background character again. This time, he’ll rise. This time, he’ll write his own ending. But as time passes, anomalies stir, and secrets unravel… Is it really as simple as a reincarnation in the world of the novel? ⸻ Follow Cassian’s journey from lonely soul to world traveling reader. A gripping epic of power, suffering, and even love.
