In a world where reality is rewritten by an unknown system, Ryo, an ordinary man, finds himself trapped in a deadly survival game that follows the rules of a novel only he has finished reading. As Hunters and Beasts roam the ruined city, slaughtering anyone in their path, Ryo must navigate alliances, betrayals, and the unseen forces controlling the game.

But when he discovers the brutal massacre of the people he once sought to protect, he realizes that the rules he thought he understood are beginning to change. With no clear enemies or allies, and a lurking presence more terrifying than the Hunters themselves, Ryo must decipher the truth before he becomes the next victim.

The only thing keeping him alive? The knowledge that he alone knows how this story ends.

The Last Reader

His eyes flicked toward the shattered store entrance.

He focused on the approaching figures.

The first Hunter stepped into view.

Tall, athletic, with short dark hair and a combat knife strapped to her belt.

Ryo's fingers tightened around his steel pipe.

"Well, well. Looks like I found something interesting."

"You're different from the others."

She was analyzing him, just like he was analyzing her.

"You killed someone already, didn't you?"

"In fact, I was hoping to meet someone like you."

The woman leaned against a broken shelf.

"You're strong. Smarter than most Hunters."

"She's lying. She'll kill us the first chance she gets!"

"You're slow, kid. If I wanted to kill you—"

A sharp edge pressed against Haruto's throat.

The woman whispered, "You'd be dead already."

She stepped back, twirling the knife.

This woman was strong. Faster than the last Hunter.

If they fought now—he wasn't sure he'd win.

She noticed his silence and smiled.

"A real Hunter doesn't fight every battle."

"They pick the ones they can win."

Ryo looked at the woman's outstretched hand.

The woman grinned. "Smart choice."

In this game, only one person would survive.
