Wanderer: Fleeing a Villain’s Fate

Nigunyn
Axel never imagined he’d wake up inside a novel he helped edit. Once an overworked and underpaid editor, Axel spent years shaping Heir of the Golden Dragon into a beloved novel only for its sadistic author to destroy everything in the final chapters. When the author let the main villain win, erased cherished characters, and annihilated the world itself, Axel argued fiercely… and lost. The next morning, he opens his eyes to a cruel truth. He has been transmigrated into that very novel reborn as Rowan Wavecrest, the third son of Duke Wavecrest, a disposable minor villain fated to die early in the second arc. And Axel remembers exactly how he dies. Refusing to follow the script, Axel abandons the prestigious academy path that leads straight to his demise. Instead, he turns his back on noble expectations and sets out into the wider world as an adventurer seeking freedom, knowledge, and a way to quietly rewrite fate. But the world he once edited is far deeper than the pages he corrected. Hidden routes, forgotten characters, unstable plotlines, and a looming villain whose victory once destroyed everything begin to surface. The more Axel changes, the more the story resists and the more dangerous the world becomes. To survive, Axel must outgrow his role as a minor villain… And decide whether he will merely escape fate or defy the ending that doomed an entire world.
