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 countdown reached its final seconds.

A deafening chime rang through the air, sending a vibration through Ryo's bones.

A massive blue screen materialized before them, its text burning into their vision.

─────── [SECOND SCENARIO: BEGINNING] ───────

▶ Objective: Reach the Safe Zone

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Ryo's breath caught in his throat.

In the novel, this scenario had been one of the most brutal early challenges.

Because for the next seven days, the entire world would be turned into a killing field.

And worst of all—players would turn on each other.

Buildings collapsed in the distance. The sky shifted into a deep crimson hue, as if the sun itself had been swallowed.

"Damn it," Ryo muttered. "It's starting."

Kael tightened his grip on his sword. "We need to move. Now."

Haruto's face was pale. "W-Wait. Where are we even supposed to go?"

In the novel, the Safe Zone was located inside an abandoned subway station beneath the city.

But getting there wouldn't be easy.

Because standing between them and safety—

Was everything that wanted them dead.

As they started running, Ryo's Danger Sense flared.

From the shadows, humanoid figures emerged—but they weren't human anymore.

Their eyes were hollow, their skin was cracked like dried earth. Their mouths stretched open unnaturally wide, revealing jagged teeth.

Shiori gripped her dagger. "They were… people?"

Ryo's jaw clenched. "Not anymore."

These were humans who had failed the first scenario.

And now, they were nothing more than hunters—programmed to eliminate the remaining survivors.
