I thought I had seen bad endings before—but nothing prepared me for the garbage conclusion of The Hero’s Path. 

Years of investment, countless struggles, and for what? The protagonist failed. The villain won. Everyone else? Dead. Furious, I sent a message to the author, only to get a chilling response:

[Do you think you could do better?]

Before I could even blink, my phone exploded in a blinding light, and the next thing I knew—I was waking up in a completely different body.

Now, I’m Merlin Everhart, a fourteen-year-old with a 12-star talent, the kind of gift only the strongest should have.

But here’s the problem: I have no idea who I am supposed to be.

With nothing but a system and a first-day-of-school alarm ringing in my ears, I’m thrown into the world of The Hero’s Path.

Am I just another side character in a world that already ended once?

…Either way, I refuse to let this story beat me too.

Merlin stood at the edge, arms crossed, back straight, waiting.

He hadn't taken a formal sword lecture since before the breach.
