The New Protagonist's Challenge

회귀한 엑스트라가 천재가 됨

Kim Seonu was more than happy to live out his days as a background character in the novel "Modern Mage." But when the story's hero, Lee Seojun, suddenly dies, Seonu finds himself thrown back to his high school years with a single mission: protect his fellow classmate. Armed with foreknowledge of how the plot is supposed to unfold, Seonu starts tampering with the original storyline. Yet the more he interferes, the more his own destiny shifts—until he finds himself no longer a mere NPC, but the new protagonist of the novel. From that point on, every decision he makes has the power to reshape the entire narrative.
