After my life was turned upside down, there was nothing left. The world faded to grey as red skies and flames engulfed the big city in an instant. The screams, pain, and confusion of the people filled the air. I couldn't recall signing up for this. Confusion clouded my mind as I made my way home from work, only to be interrupted by a notification on my phone—an ordinary spam ad for a game called, "World End 000". Then, my vision slowly faded, and I lost consciousness. When I awoke, I found myself in the midst of a catastrophe, a strange noise ringing in my head.... more>>

I really should’ve taken the publisher’s employment contract more seriously…

Rachel and her best friend Nora never imagined their first job at a publishing company would catapult them into the heart of their favorite fantasy web novel. Five years after the story's abrupt hiatus left fans in limbo, they seized the chance to help the enigmatic author complete the tale that had captivated their hearts during their high school days. But what begins as an exciting creative endeavor quickly spirals into a quirky, unimaginable adventure when they're whisked away without consent into the very story they longed to save.

This is my second book I am working on, but as I am currently very busy with Corvid's remake this will be on the backburner for a while until that is done.

If you have any suggestions to make don't hesitate to leave any. This is a rough draft first and foremost, and I still have tons of editing and proof-reading myself before I decide on anything concrete regarding this story. <<less
