About When the Background Villain Aims for the Lead

Transported into the fantasy epic Dragon King Dake after mocking its doomed minor villain, ordinary delivery courier Kane Wolfe awakens with a ruthless survival system and a death sentence: avert his scripted execution or suffer permanent erasure from existence. Desperate to survive, Kane resolves to stay completely under the radar and let the original plot run its course. But survival becomes hilarious chaos when a bizarre metaphysical glitch exposes his inner monologue to the novel's most formidable heroines. Hearing his terrified complaints and frantic spoilers, Iris, Giselle, and Seraphine uncover the sinister schemes of the righteous protagonist, Dake Vile. Instead of hunting Kane, the powerful women turn against Dake and rally behind the unsuspecting cannon fodder. Every clumsy attempt Kane makes to avoid confrontation accidentally dismantles Dake's grand ambitions, transforming a terrified background extra into an accidental legend. With fortune smiling upon him and the tyrant overthrown, Kane earns the respect of the ancient dragon clan. Now, alongside his trio of enchanted allies, this once-ordinary delivery worker embarks on an uncharted odyssey that defies prophecy.
