Hey there! Quill here, just writing you all a quick synopsis. This was supposed to be the author's job, but, well... now I’m just a simple NPC who somehow became the author. So I hope you enjoy it!:

It was just a normal day when the hero of the story gravely injured me. I was supposed to die and fade away as a side character.

But right before I could die, I managed to grab his necklace, which gave me the power to become self-aware and to talk to you, the reader.

[You have acquired a forbidden item: Hero's Necklace of Destiny]

[You have gained new abilities:]

[Self-Consciousness]

[Break the Fourth Wall]

[New quest received:]

[Survive the Author's wrath]

Now, it could have ended there, but the Author of the story wasn’t happy. I saw a massive pen crash down from the sky, trying to erase my existence. With the help of the system, "Big Boss", I managed to slash the pen in half with my scythe, and the wall between reality and fantasy shattered, killing the author on the other side.

[You're now the Author]

But Big Boss says I need to finish this story, or else my existence will vanish with the author’s. So here we are.

Come and join me as I write a novel from inside the story, as an NPC. And one more thing: your actions, like comments, donations, and votes, have real consequences on how things turn out. So what do you say? Will you write this story with me?

Let’s play a game...

I know I'm probably finished, but I'm not ready to die yet. I can't leave the readers without a story either, so I'll fight. Even if it's useless, I'll fight! I'm the author of this tale—who said these things can kill me so easily?


My dear system, not now. Unless you've got a super-powerful weapon that can get me out of this encirclement, I don't need you at all!


I grab the first thing I can reach. Beside me lies a fairly large stick—nothing special, but at least some kind of weapon. These trees are sturdy, so maybe it could work as a spear if I found something to sharpen it with. Right now, it looks like it broke off from something else—one end jagged, sharp enough to poke but nowhere near lethal. I think.
