Academy’s Brilliant Reader
Lee Haneul was just an ordinary college student and an obsessive fan of the fantasy novel Eternal Dominion. He had read it countless times, memorizing every plot twist, hidden artifact, and character fate.
One night, after binge-reading until dawn, he wakes up in an unfamiliar room—inside the world of the novel he loved. But instead of being the overpowered protagonist, he finds himself trapped in the body of Ethan Aldrich, a nameless side character destined for failure.
In the original story, Ethan was weak, talentless, and forgotten. He was expelled from the prestigious Grand Imperial Academy within months, disappearing from the narrative entirely. With no strength, no reputation, and no plot armor, Ethan’s fate is already sealed.
Or so he thought.
Things are not as they should be.
The novel’s events are shifting—major moments are happening differently than he remembers.
The protagonist, Leon von Arcadia, seems… off. He isn’t acting like the hero from the novel.
A new force is interfering with the story, and Ethan is somehow at the center of it all.
Then, something even stranger happens.

You can now see hidden information and story changes unknown to others.
Ethan has been given a chance to change his fate. Armed with his knowledge of the novel and this mysterious system, he must train, fight, and outmaneuver fate itself to survive.
He knows where the hidden dungeons are. He knows which students will betray their friends. He knows the location of artifacts that could make someone invincible.
But as he struggles to rewrite destiny, he begins to realize a terrifying truth:
He may not be the only one who knows the story.
And worse…
What if he was never meant to be just a reader?
