Writer in another world

Ethan Kendrick, a writer in his early thirties, has spent years building a complex fantasy world for his novel, filled with magical kingdoms, fierce monsters, and brave heroes. However, despite his dedication, he struggles to finish the story, as the characters seem to take on lives of their own, resisting his attempts to bring the tale to its conclusion. One night, exhausted and frustrated, Ethan falls asleep at his desk only to wake up in the very world he has created. His surroundings—a magical forest beneath a strange, colorful sky—are eerily familiar, but nothing can prepare him for the shocking reality: he is now part of the world of his novel. Ethan discovers that, unlike the other inhabitants of this world, he has no special ability or power. He is powerless in a land where everyone is born with random supernatural abilities.

Though joining them could provide safety, it also brings its own risks. With no other choice, Ethan decides to follow them, unsure of what awaits in this treacherous world. In this gripping tale of survival, self-discovery, and transformation, Ethan must learn to adapt to a world where the rules are constantly changing, and the line between creator and creation begins to blur.
