Ethan Carter was a failed fantasy author who died overworked and bitter. When he wakes up in the world of his own unfinished novel, he finds himself reborn as Darius Wycliffe, a weak and arrogant noble fated to be killed by the protagonist, Lucien Ashford, the Archmage’s Disciple.

But Ethan refuses to die so easily. Armed with his knowledge of the world’s secrets and a unique ability to rewrite spells, he dives into the forbidden magic he once created but never fully explored. As he grows stronger, he uncovers terrifying truths about the world he thought he knew.

To survive, Ethan must defy destiny, master the deadliest of magics, and challenge the very hero he once wrote to be unbeatable. But what happens when the lines between hero and villain start to blur?

Darius lay propped against the stiff infirmary pillow, his body a map of aches, though the sharp pain in his chest had dulled to a faint throb. The bruises from last night's match lingered, but they were nothing compared to the chaos in his head. His thoughts spun, caught in the grip of a vision that wouldn't let go: Lucien Ashford, the hero he'd once shaped in frantic late-night writing sessions, standing in a wasteland of shattered stone. Lucien's eye glowed a sickly purple, radiating a power that felt wrong, like a crack in the world itself. He'd been clashing with Ren, Darius's brother, the Star Visionary, in a storm of magic that tore through everything. The raw destruction, the sense of doom—it wasn't just a dream. It felt like a glimpse of what was coming, and it scared Darius to his core.
