Do you believe in reincarnation?

Some people would say yes, while others would say no.

But what if it truly existed? Surely, everyone—especially those who felt like failures in life—would wish for another chance to live, right?

***

Merlin Ken, a renowned editor, died while reviewing the raw draft of a popular novel titled “The Lost Hero.”

But instead of moving on to the afterlife, he awoke to find himself reincarnated inside the very novel he had been editing!

Worse yet, he wasn’t the protagonist—he was just an extra character with the same name, fated to become nothing more than a stepping stone for the main character.

Determined to survive, Merlin resolved to defy fate by breaking the novel’s plot!

By chance, a mysterious system appeared before him to help!

As time passed, however, Merlin began to notice strange deviations—events that never existed in the original story.

"[Ding! The first mission has been released! Awaken your Guardian Spirit on Awakening Day, three days from now! Reward: 1x Special Talent Awakening Potion!]"

"[Ding! Congratulations! You have awakened the Guardian Spirit of the Ancient Dragon Empress! The reward has been delivered!]"

Merlin: “What!? That’s impossible! My Guardian Spirit was supposed to be trash! How did it become an extraordinary figure instead!? Someone explain this to me!”

And so, Merlin’s journey to change his fate began…

#Note:

1. This is my first novel, so it may not be perfect. I welcome any feedback or criticism, and I’ll do my best to listen and improve.

2. The main character is a single man who has never had a partner. I’ll try to make his interactions with the heroines feel natural and reasonable.

3. This story follows the harem genre, but on a small scale—around four or five heroines. Not every female character will become the MC’s partner. The romance will develop at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow.

4. At the start, the MC will be a bit naive since he comes from the modern world and still holds onto his moral principles. But over time, he will adapt and become ruthless when necessary.

5. There will be no NTR, yuri, or similar elements. This will be a straightforward story.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you’ll support this novel!
