Ch. 1: The Convergence

In the vibrant city of Seoul, South Korea, a young man named Jeok-ji found solace in the virtual realm of web novels. He was an introverted individual, preferring the company of fictional characters over real-life interactions. Among the countless stories he consumed, one web novel stood out—the captivating “Tales from Ruined Realms.”

“Tales from Ruined Realms” had gained immense popularity, captivating readers with its intricate plot and immersive world-building. However, as time went on, its readership dwindled, and Jeok-ji became the last remaining reader.

One ordinary evening, as Jeok-ji settled in for his daily commute on the subway, he opened his e-reader to continue reading the final chapter of “Tales from Ruined Realms.” The train jolted unexpectedly, causing Jeok-ji to accidentally drop his device.

As he reached down to retrieve it, he noticed the stranger seated next to him. The person‘s face appeared blurry, as if shrouded in a veil of mystery. Curiosity sparked in Jeok-ji’s mind as he pondered the stranger's presence.

His eyes locked with the stranger‘s, Jeok-ji took a deep breath and replied, “If I have the power to shape the world of ’Tales from Ruined Realms,' then I will do whatever it takes to rewrite its story. Then i will do it so the ending can be better.

The stranger's blurred face seemed to contort into a smile. ”Is that so? “ they said, their voice carrying a hint of intrigue. ”Well, I am curious to witness the extent of your abilities. “

Jeok-ji, taken aback by the stranger‘s response, stared intently at them. A mixture of excitement and uncertainty coursed through his veins. He couldn’t fully comprehend the stranger's intentions, but their presence held an undeniable fascination.

”What do you mean? “ Jeok-ji asked, his voice filled with curiosity.

Jeok-ji‘s mind raced, trying to grasp the full meaning of the stranger’s words. Could this blurred-faced enigma truly grant him the power to reshape the narrative of ”Tales from Ruined Realms“?
