Issac's eyes fluttered open, and he was met with an unfamiliar ceiling. The dim lighting and eerie silence made him feel like he was in a tomb. Panic set in as he scrambled to remember how he got there. The last thing he remembered was...
Everything came flooding back. His life as a web novel reader, his favorite series "The Ascension of Heroes". He had been reading the latest chapter, his eyes glued to the screen as the protagonist fought against impossible odds. The words had been so vivid, so real. He had felt the rush of adrenaline as Eryndor Thorne dodged a deadly blow, and the sense of satisfaction as he landed a critical hit.
A searing pain had ripped through his head, like his brain was being torn apart. Adam's memories became hazy after that. He must have blacked out.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in this strange, luxurious room. The walls were adorned with intricate carvings of mythical creatures, and the furniture was ornate, with a four-poster bed that seemed to stretch up to the ceiling. The bed was draped in rich, velvety curtains that shimmered in the dim light.
A notification flashed before his eyes, like a pop-up on a computer screen:

Adam's mind reeled in horror. "No, no, no. This can't be happening. I'm a reader, not a character in the story!" (He felt like he had been thrown into a nightmare.)
He remembered the brutal world of "The Ascension of Heroes", where characters were killed off without warning. The protagonist, Eryndor Thorne, had been on a quest to ascend to the top of the hierarchy, fighting against monsters and other powerful beings. Adam had loved reading about his adventures, but now...
Now, he was a part of it.
Adam's eyes widened in fear as he realized his predicament. He was in a world where death was permanent, and the stakes were higher than anything he had ever experienced before.
"Who did this to me?" Adam growled, his resentment and anger boiling over. "What kind of sick person throws someone into a deadly novel?"
A figure appeared in front of him, with an amused smile on their face. They were tall, with piercing green eyes and jet-black hair that fell to their shoulders. They wore a long, black coat with intricate silver embroidery, and their presence seemed to command attention.
"Ah, Adam Steiner," the figure said, their voice dripping with amusement. "Welcome to your new life. I see you're already getting acquainted with your status."
Adam's anger flared up. "You! You're the one who brought me here! What do you want from me?"
The figure chuckled, the sound like music. "Oh, I just wanted to give you a chance at a new life. You're welcome, by the way."
Adam's eyes narrowed. "A chance at a new life? You call being thrown into a deadly novel a chance? You're insane!"
The figure shrugged, their smile never wavering. "Perhaps. But you'll find this world...enlightening. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have other matters to attend to. You're expected at Argentum Academy."
With that, the figure vanished, leaving Adam alone and frightened in this new world.
Adam took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He looked around the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. A large window revealed a cityscape at night, with towering buildings and bustling streets. The sky was a deep shade of indigo, with stars twinkling like diamonds.
He knew he had to be careful. In this world, one wrong move could mean death. Adam's eyes hardened as he steeled himself for the challenges ahead.
