A Once Reader

Lillia was never supposed to exist in this world.

Before waking up in Eleceed, she had been an ordinary person-a reader who followed the manhwa with admiration, anticipation, and the bittersweet knowledge that she would never know how it ended. But fate had other plans. Without warning, she found herself reborn into a world of awakened ones, where power dictated survival and strength carved one's path.

Years passed. She trained, adapted, and rose through the ranks-unnoticed, unbothered, a ghost in the shadows of an unfolding story. Now, standing among the top ten awakened, she no longer needed to hide. The pieces were moving. The story was about to begin. And this time, she refused to be a mere spectator.

She would stand on the battlefield.

She would meet those she had only ever seen through a screen.

And she would shape her own fate in a world that never accounted for her existence.
