The Author's Draft

Aiden Jus, a twenty-eight-year-old who failed to awaken his mana and chase an unfulfilled writing dream, lives a life of constant rejection. His existence is defined by powerlessness and a dead-end future. However, on the verge of accepting a mundane editing job, Aiden is chosen by Nabu, the God of Literacy. He receives the divine-rank skill, Narrative Embodiment, allowing him to physically enter his own written stories and permanently acquire any abilities he crafts within them. Now, not only are mastered skills and spells his to keep, but so are the dangerous traps and formidable villains he carelessly created. Aiden’s strength diverges from the conventional hunter system, drawing power from his imaginative worlds. As rival deities seek contractors and ancient ruins beckon, Aiden must navigate the perilous fictional realms he authored while forging a new path in a world that once overlooked him. The author’s draft has become his battlefield, proving words have tangible power when lived.
