He would survive, find out the secrets to his past... and maybe, just maybe, find a family he could call his own. …That he swore to accomplish. Even if it meant wading through rivers of blood and stepping over mountains of corpses. Additional tags: Dark fantasy + Dark souls element, supernatural + psychological horror and finally: Mystery, tension and suspense + ground breaking lore and world building. [WSA 2025 Entry.]

He finished the story… but it wasn’t the end. Soon-to-be college graduate In-ho finds himself transported into the world of his favorite fantasy novel, Manufacture End—a story he knows from start to finish.
