Synopsis
​[System Warning: An unauthorized entity has entered the narrative.] ​I didn’t just read the legendary novel 'Chronicles of the Dragon's Vow'—I critiqued every flaw, every plot hole, and every weak hero in it. But when I woke up, the smell of old paper was replaced by the cold, metallic scent of blood. ​I wasn’t the main character. I wasn’t even the sidekick. I was "Gatekeeper #4"—a background character destined to die in the first ten minutes just to motivate the hero. ​[Role: Minor NPC | Life Expectancy: 10 Minutes.] ​But the system made a mistake. When I looked at the hero, I didn't see a savior—I saw a programmed puppet. And when I looked at my own hands, I realized I was a glitch in the fabric of their reality. ​I have 100 chapters to rewrite the rules. I have a "glitch" dagger that can erase the narrative itself. And I have absolutely no intention of following the script. ​They call me a "Bug." They want me deleted. But they don’t realize one thing: I know this story better than the Author. ​The script is broken. Now, the real game begins.

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Dead Man Who Forgot His Role

I opened my eyes to find the room's scent had changed. It wasn't my usual room, which reeked of cold coffee and old books, but a strong metallic blood smell mixed with a strange incense hinting at antiquity.

I sat up, startled. This wasn't my room. I was in a spacious hall with stone walls adorned with self-illuminating golden engravings. Suddenly, my vision blurred, and a transparent blue screen appeared before me, resembling the gaming interface I'd been hooked on for years:

[Alert: "User 000" logged in.]

[Current location: "Dragons' Oath - Chapter 1" narrative.]

[Your role: "Side Guardian #4" - Expected death: in 10 minutes.]

I froze. This novel? I'd finished reading it yesterday! I knew every line, but I also knew one thing for sure: Guardian #4 dies on page three when the "Dark Hero" storms the palace to steal the "Time Gem."

I looked at my hands. They were shaking. I wasn't just a reader now; I was part of this world's code. A cold metallic voice echoed in my head:

[Mandatory mission: Survive.]

[Reward: Explore a world "glitch."]

[Penalty: Erasure of existence.]

I heard soldiers shouting outside. The ground shook beneath heavy footsteps approaching the hall. There was no escape; the massive wooden door started cracking under a mysterious force.

I glanced around for an exit but noticed something missing from the original novel. In the corner, a shadow moved—a shadow belonging to no one in the hall, watching me intently. Suddenly, time stopped. Everything froze except the shadow, which began taking human form before me—a man in a black coat, his face masked, featureless.

The shadow approached, placed a finger on my lips though I couldn't move, and whispered in a voice identical to mine, "Do you think the hero killed Guardian #4? Check your dagger..."

I looked down at the dagger on my belt. It wasn't ordinary—it bled black blood that hadn't been there moments before. The door broke, and the "Dark Hero" entered, clad in black, his eyes gleaming evil. But seeing me, he didn't look at the dagger; he stared at the shadow behind me.

The hero froze, his sword-hand trembling. He whispered, terrified, "You... how did you return from erasure?"
