The world didn't just end – it got rewritten. When the System Apocalypse arrived, reality itself became a deadly, unfolding "Story." For Alex, a quiet librarian more comfortable with deconstructing narratives than surviving them, there were no stat points for strength or magic. Instead, he awakened to a unique, terrifying meta-Role: Plot Editor.
Now, he must learn to perceive the "Plot Threads," manipulate "Tropes," and make subtle "Edits" to the cosmic script that's turning humanity into unwitting cast members. With monsters, "Scripted Events," and the ever-present threat of a "Bad End," Alex must use his intellect not just to survive, but to understand who is writing their story, and if perhaps, just perhaps, he can help write a different one.
