Elves, dwarves, dragons, and humans have lived here since the world began. But something far stranger shares the land: beings who fall from the sky, die a hundred times a day, vanish the moment they say "brb bathroom," and reappear hours later claiming "sorry, fell asleep." They call themselves Players. You open your eyes as the most ordinary creature in existence—a city-gate guard whose entire life script is: stand, salute, stand, salute. Until one random bug rewrites a single line of code… and suddenly you can think. You can fear death. You feel loneliness. You've become a real person trapped inside a game. With nothing but curiosity and a rusty halberd, you step beyond the city walls and start doing what Players do: slay monsters, chase epic loot, join random parties. Your teammates think you're the ultimate no-life emperor who never logs off. You think they're insane immortals who treat reality like a pause menu. Together you laugh through suicidal raids, ridiculous quests, and moments of pure friendship— until the day the servers begin to quiet. One by one, the Players stop coming back. The bustling world turns to silence. You stand at the peak of a now-empty world, the last soul still breathing in a dying dream. This is not another "gamer isekai" power fantasy. This is the bittersweet, hilarious, and quietly devastating first-person story of an NPC who woke up too late— like Free Guy colliding with The Legend of 1900 on the Titanic. You'll laugh until your sides hurt at the absurdity of Players seen from the other side. Then you'll find yourself holding your breath as the final credits roll on an entire universe. *If you've ever stayed up until dawn for one more raid, if you've ever felt genuine sadness when an online friend stopped logging in, if you've ever wondered what the NPCs think of us—*this book will break your heart in the best possible way. Join the last inhabitant of a world that's shutting down. Before the lights go out forever, come walk the empty continent with him. One final solo journey you'll never forget.
