Suddenly, I Woke Up in a Novel... As a Kid!?

Whimsivielynn
Sypnosis: She just went to sleep. Xhaelyn cursed under her breath. She had been in perfect health—nowhere near anything life-threatening. Yet as soon as she opened her eyes, something felt off. She had woken up in a strange world, in the body of a seven-year-old child. And soon, she realized something chilling: She was inside the world of a novel she once read. But she has no intention of joining the plot. Eryndral is a world shaped by Unique Energies, ruled by powerful dominions, mercenaries, and political games. After escaping a human trafficking ring, she learns the full name of the boy she escaped with—one that belongs to the novel’s future villain. Her instincts tell her to stay away. So she does. But once she remembers his backstory—heart-wrenching and cruel—guilt begins to bloom. Xhaelyn lived an apathetic, brutal first life. In her second, she tasted peace. And now, in her third life, she craves that peace again. She chooses to avoid the novel’s main plot entirely, staying far from the spotlight and living quietly. However, having experienced peace in her second life, her emotions are no longer as cold as they once were. And guilt—especially guilt toward a certain boy with a dangerous future—has a way of creeping in. Xhaelyn doesn’t yet understand what guilt can do. And she doesn’t know… he is already looking for her. What kind of fate awaits her, when she tries to walk away from the story? General Description: This novel is a work of fiction set in the intricately crafted world of Eryndral—a land shaped by mercenaries, mysterious dominions, and unique abilities. The story unfolds in a magical yet grounded universe, blending elements of action, introspection, and discovery. While the plot is deliberately paced to allow immersion into the protagonist’s journey and the complexities of the world, the narrative focuses on personal growth, survival, and subtle interactions that drive meaningful change. Readers should expect a slower development that highlights detailed world-building, emotional depth, and thought-provoking dilemmas rather than fast-paced, action-packed sequences at every turn. The story’s focus is on the protagonist’s internal struggles, relationships, and unraveling of mysteries within Eryndral—elements that mirror reality in their complexity and nuance, even within a fantastical setting.

Apocalypse Online: Starting with an SSS-level Gluttony Talent

In humanity’s final war against the Demon Lord, the strongest heroes fell—not by the enemy’s hand, but by their own, twisted into madness by a cruel illusion. Betrayal. Bloodshed. Despair… and then, silence. Only one person remained: Riley—the weakest warrior of them all. Powerless. Ignored. Forgotten. But he saw through the Demon Lord’s deception. The tyrant was on the brink of death—so weak even a fly could’ve finished him off. And Riley did just that, drawing every last ounce of strength to bite off the demon’s head. Victory? Not quite. A final, desperate strike from the Demon Lord pierced him from behind, killing him instantly. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Riley awoke ten years in the past—when the online game [Apocalypse] was launched. Before demons descended. Before monsters overran the world. And this time, he wasn’t starting from nothing. He had a decade of experience—and a second chance. Even more shocking, he didn’t awaken his old D-rank Strength Boost talent. This time, he received something far more terrifying: an SSS-level Gluttony talent! He could now devour anything—monsters, items, talents, even traits—and gain their power. Ding! [You have devoured: Iron Fang Wolf] [Acquired: +4 Strength, +2 Agility, Skill: Bite (F-rank)] [You have devoured: Goblin Shaman Acquired: +8 Intelligence, Skill: Mana Bolt (E-rank), Talent: Minor Spellcasting Efficiency] [You have devoured: Flaming Salamander Drake] [Acquired: +22 Endurance, Trait: Dragon’s Resilience, Skill: Flame Breath (C-rank)] Now, there was no demon, no god, no monster who would stand in his way. He would devour everything—and save the world. But the power of Gluttony was a double edged sword, and if he wasn’t careful… he could be the one getting consumed.
