(Male MC). MXMXF love triangle -both bl and straight pairing.
Elliot Grant is a quiet, bookish man who spends his nights escaping into the pages of his favorite fantasy-romance novel.

One fateful night, Elliot is mysteriously transported into the story, waking up as a side character: Elias, the prince’s loyal and somewhat overlooked confidant. At first, Elliot is thrilled. He decides to stay true to the story’s plot, determined to play his part without interfering in Aedric and Selene’s fateful romance. He uses his knowledge of the book to subtly ensure their bond grows as written.

But things take an unexpected turn when Elliot’s actions create unintended ripple effects.  Elliot tries to step back, unwilling to disrupt the couple’s destiny, but the growing tension between the three becomes undeniable. 

In a world where bonds are forged by battle and trust, the three must navigate their intertwined feelings while facing looming threats: assassins, a brewing rebellion, and a dark sorcerer bent on controlling the Shattered Crown.

As Elliot’s presence continues to reshape the story, he’s forced to question the very nature of fate. Is he here to witness the love between Aedric and Selene? Or is he meant to be part of it?

"Why are you out here in the middle of the night?" she asked, her voice even.

Elias shrugged. "I couldn't sleep."

"Neither could I." Selene's lips quirked into a small, humorless smile. She gestured to the sword in her hand. "This helps me think."

Elias nodded slowly, unsure of what to say. He glanced at the sword, noting how natural it looked in her hand. She had always been skilled with weapons, even as a child. But now, there was something different about her—a quiet intensity that hadn't been there before.

Selene took a step closer, and Elias fought the urge to take a step back.

"You're quiet," she said, her gaze unwavering. "Too quiet. It makes me wonder what you're hiding."

Elias stiffened. She suspects something.

"I'm just a priest," he said softly, lowering his gaze. "There's nothing to hide."

Selene hummed thoughtfully, tapping the tip of her sword against the ground. "Is that so?"
