The Extra's Law: Endless Calamity
Adrian awoke in the world of his novel as an Extra who looked exactly like himself, from his face to his name. However, he possessed a beautiful life and had everything he had ever wanted—completely different from his previous life.
He believed his novel had given him a gift by creating a happy version of himself who had it all—without his knowledge.
But that happiness was not free... After a few days of searching, he finally realized that the 'Safe Zone' he was currently in was different from his main character's, and the distance between them was almost an entire continent.
'What is a Safe Zone?' A Safe Zone is a place where humans who survived the Great Calalys gathered. They built massive walls to shelter from the incredibly powerful monsters that emerged from the gates—now called First Generation Monsters. The Great Calamity scattered humanity, and the survivors believed they were the only remaining civilization.
The problem was... Adrian had always written the story from his main character's point of view and knew nothing about life outside of it. He had only written that there were other Safe Zones out there. His knowledge of the plot was useless because he was in a different place, and worse yet... The plot connection between him and his main character was that his Safe Zone would be found completely destroyed, without a trace.
Back then, he had written that merely as a spice for his novel's mystery, to make it better. But now he realized the consequence: He had written his own death.
Now, Adrian was trapped in a writer's worst dilemma. To survive, he had to do the impossible: change the fate he had set himself as The Creator. However, in a world that ran on narrative logic, saving himself was not an action without consequences. Every deviation from the storyline could draw the attention of "World Law"—an abstract force that would attempt to "fix" the broken plot, in ways potentially more cruel than mere monsters.
At the crossroads between his valuable new life and the stability of the world's story, Adrian had to decide: Was it better to die as inspiration for the hero, or to live as an anomaly that could collapse everything?
This is not a tale about becoming a hero in a new world. This is an Extra's war against a death-fate like a ticking time bomb that he wrote himself. And even if he succeeds? This world, running on narrative logic, may not let him be.
