Cut Like Wound

What if you woke up inside the world of your friend’s novel—only to realize you weren’t the hero? Terumi Kuro was perfectly fine with his average life. Average grades, average looks, average everything. The only thing not so average? His secretly talented upperclassman, Sayuki Mizuno—a webnovel author whose work has gained a reasonable amount of following since its release. Life was pretty much predictable until Sayuki mysteriously vanishes without a trace. Two weeks after she vanished, Terumi gets transported into her novel’s world and no, he's not the overpowered protagonist or a first rate villain—he's a background character... An Extra. You know, the kind that dies before anyone even remembers their name? Armed with nothing but his knowledge of future events and a suspicious text from Sayuki. Terumi has to navigate a world of magic, technology, danger, and slightly overpowered main characters. Oh, and did i mention he’s stuck attending the same academy where everyone’s so busy stoping bad guys and dealing with politics they barely notice their cafeteria food sucks?

What I do know is it’s got magic, techology, snark, and just enough plot to keep you wondering if I have any idea what I’m doing (spoiler: I don’t).

She worked carefully, her hands steady and sure, her brow furrowed in concentration. "Does it hurt much?" she asked, her voice soft but professional. He looked at her, his gaze lingering for a moment longer than he intended. "Not as much as it did yesterday. Your touch helps," he said, a small smirk playing on his lips. Josie rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide the faint smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Flattery doesn’t speed up healing, Mr. Josh" "Josh," he corrected. "I told you, call me Josh." She nodded, her focus returning to the wound. "Okay, Josh. But you’re still my patient, so let me do my job." The silence that followed was heavy but not uncomfortable. Josh watched her, noticing how the light caught the strands of hair that had slipped from her bun. She was efficient, focused, yet there was a warmth to her that put him at ease in a way he hadn’t expected. "You're good at this," he said suddenly. "At dressing wounds?" she asked, glancing up briefly. "At making people feel like everything’s going to be okay," he replied, his voice quieter now. Josie paused, her eyes meeting his. For a moment, the world outside the hospital room seemed to fade away. "That’s my job," she said softly, breaking the silence. "To make sure you leave here better than you came."

This is a primarily action/fantasy novel. However, I’ll be dabbling into other genres like mystery and thriller throughout. Please note the mc is not OP out of the gate, but it is a constant progress. There will not be 24/7 action. There are slower chapters that just focus on story building. (If you are looking for a similar theme but action-heavy please check out my other novel called Danger Outside). I highly recommend if you are looking for a novel that focuses on both storybuilding and quality character developments. I will be uploading 1 chapter every week on Sunday mornings EST time. Please express your interests in the comments!!!
