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

The Venomfang Serpent lay dead, its massive corpse sprawled across the ruined street. Blood soaked the cracked pavement, and the stench of iron filled the air.

The second scenario would start in two days—and it would be far deadlier than the first.

Kael sheathed his sword. His golden eyes flickered toward Ryo.

"…You knew about its weakness," he said.

Kael didn't press further, but Ryo could tell—he was curious.

Of course, Ryo couldn't explain that he had read the novel.

So, he just shrugged. "Observation."

Kael studied him for a moment, then gave a slight nod.

For Kael, that was as close to praise as it got.

Not completely—but it was a start.

A blue notification screen flickered before Ryo.

▶ You Have Unlocked: A New Skill

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Skill Acquired: Danger Sense (Lv. 1)]

– Instinctively detects incoming danger.

This was not a skill the original novel's protagonist had.

The system was rewarding him as an independent player.

He wasn't just an observer anymore.

He was a participant in this world.

Haruto, who was still catching his breath, groaned. "Already? We just fought a giant snake, man."

Shiori wiped the sweat from her brow. "He's right, though. We need shelter."

The four of them moved through the ruined city, searching for a safe place to rest.

Along the way, Ryo thought about their next steps.

Weapons & Skills: They needed better gear.

Food & Water: The second scenario would likely include survival mechanics.

Allies & Enemies: Were other novel characters nearby? Would they be friend or foe?

What would the second scenario be?

In the novel, the second scenario had been brutal.

A survival challenge against overwhelming odds.

And he wouldn't waste a single moment.
