The Extra's Law

Being the only person in his world who can see the Aurora Borealis phenomenon that constantly adorns the sky, Nathan never imagined that he would enter his own half-finished novel titled "Endless Cataclysm." Yet, he now inhabits the body of someone named Adrian Hale, without understanding why he exists there, as he never wrote such a character. Nevertheless, he enjoys his new life by pretending to be Adrian Hale and receiving love from his family. Until he finally realizes that the place he currently inhabits is destined to be destroyed without a single soul left alive. Destroyed by what? Killed by whom? Nathan does not know, because it was a Plot Hole in his novel that he left unresolved. But that is what is written in his novel, and it will inevitably happen in some form because the World of his novel will not remain idle, ignoring that Plot Hole or its logical flaws. He has witnessed firsthand how the world logically filled in all the deficiencies present in his novel when it became reality. So, what will the world create to rectify the Plot Hole of his death and the inevitable demise of millions of human lives? That is a threat he, as the author, had never anticipated before. His knowledge of the Plot is also useless because he is far removed from the Protagonist, from the main story of his novel. The only encounter between them would be if he manages to overcome that Threat, or if the Protagonist finds his corpse. Nathan is also continually startled by the world of his novel and the humans within it, who create things that surpass his imagination as its author. He is a powerless God, overwhelmed by his own creation that has transcended him.

Ren's Dagger

Seventeen years ago, the sky over Azura City tore open. From those jagged portals emerged a chaos that nearly leveled civilization, halted only by the emergence of the Shield—a secret order of elite warriors who stood as the final line of defense against the monstrous entities of the "Beyond." Today, the portals are a part of life, and joining the Shield is the only path to honor. ​For twin brothers Ren and Zen, the upcoming Shield Exam is the crossroads of their lives. Zen is the golden child—calm, precise, and possessing a natural talent that has already marked him as a future member of the Ten Leaders. Ren, however, is fueled by nothing but raw, reckless willpower. While his brother glides through training, Ren is the underdog, constantly dismissed by his peers and struggling to prove he belongs in a world where magic is outlawed and only results matter. ​The gap between them becomes a chasm when Zen achieves a legendary status during the trials, while Ren is left behind, branded a failure. In a moment of brotherly parting, Zen leaves Ren with a single, strange parting gift: a weathered, unremarkable dagger. To the other aspirants, it is a cruel joke—a pity prize for the brother who couldn’t make the cut. ​But as Azura City faces a new wave of portal activity and deep-seated secrets begin to leak from the Shield’s shadows, Ren realizes his journey isn't over. Haunted by his brother’s success and his own perceived weakness, Ren must decide if he will accept his fate or forge a new one. In a world that has already written him off, the "useless" dagger may be the only thing standing between Ren and the darkness threatening to consume his home.
