This was the story of the Wannabe Webnovelist Team (aka WW) who slaved over writing for five years and did not receive a single reader, only to discover that the person responsible for the final edit and publishing in the Wannabe Webnovelist writing team never actually published anything. He had only uploaded everything to the drafts. Sit back and relax (or not) as you try to figure out which character has written which paragraph or chapter. Not to mention working out how many people are actually in this team - this may fluctuate. The WW team's rules in this novel are that once a chapter has been published, no one in the team can edit it. (NB: all the characters in this work are fictional and while any resemblance to real life people are not entirely coincidental - no insults are meant. This is a completely tongue in cheek, rubbish piece of nothing. Yes, you read that right. If you find this as nonsensical as the author(s), then 'high five!' You are on the right page.) Also, has this story really been discontinued? Wait and see... because if it really has been discontinued, we hope the readers enjoy being left hanging on the cliff edge - or just hanging, cos there's nothing wrong with just hanging about. Addit Oct 2023: WW is on a long break. Who knows if they'll ever get back together or come back (in fact, I doubt they will ever return - I think they've given up). Therefore, you will receive random short stories instead. This is now truly discontinuous nonsense. Enjoy. If you don't like one story, you can now switch to a different one via the contents page. Yay.

SYNOPSIS At 3:17 PM, the sky over Seoul turns red. Every screen in the world goes dark. Then a message appears. [System Initialization Complete] [Survival Tutorial Begins] Monsters pour into the streets. Cities collapse. Humanity enters a brutal new era where only the strong survive. Kim Min-Jae knows exactly what will happen next. Because he already lived through it once. In his previous life, he was weak. Powerless. Just another casualty in a world ruled by hunters and monsters. He died during the early days of the apocalypse, forgotten and insignificant. But fate gives him a second chance. Min-Jae wakes up again on the first day the System appears. This time, everything is different. A hidden class. A mysterious ability called **System Breaker**. And a rare skill that allows him to issue limited commands to the very system controlling the world. While other hunters struggle to survive, Min-Jae begins to uncover the truth behind the system itself. Because the system was never created to save humanity. It was created to test it. As dungeons open across the world, powerful guilds rise, and S-rank hunters dominate the new era, Min-Jae begins quietly growing stronger. But his real goal is far more dangerous than becoming the strongest hunter. He intends to break the system. And if he succeeds… the beings who created it may finally notice him.
