Glare Knife

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] “Seriously? Of all the people I could’ve become, I get stuck as him?” Damien was nobody special a shut-in who spent his days reading webnovels and cursing their authors for every bad plot twist. That is, until a knife to the back ended his uneventful life. But instead of dying, he woke up in the world of his favorite novel. Sounds like a dream, right? Wrong. Damien wasn’t the Hero destined for glory, nor the Villain wielding power. He was just an Extra, a throwaway character with a meaningless death written into the story. Armed with knowledge of the plot, Damien swears he won’t let the world chew him up and spit him out. “If this story thinks it can control me, it’s in for a surprise.” 'Can Damien change his fate? or Will he be consumed by plot?' ----------------------------------------------------- If this story made you smile (or cringe), leave a review!

Liu Yang's life used to revolve around a few simple truths: If the king crab wasn't fresh enough to pinch him back, it wasn't worth eating. Kobe beef? Only the finest cuts would grace his plate.

Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try.

He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty
