Fantasy

I’d been reading a NovelFire called The Dance of Power.
    It wasn’t a blockbuster hit, but it had a devoted fanbase — and the worldbuilding was interesting enough to keep me hooked. Flawed, sure, but filled with potential. Its biggest draw was its gimmick:
    An interactive system that lets readers submit their own character sheets to be added to the story.
    Naturally, I made one.
    Naturally… it got rejected.
    “Not unique enough.”
    “Doesn’t fit the plot.”
    “Try again next event.”
    I shrugged it off. It was just a character, after all.
    At least, until I opened my eyes —
    and found myself inside the world of The Dance of Power, inhabiting the very same character the author had turned down.
    A character who wasn’t meant to exist.
    A character with no place in the story.
    A flaw in the narrative.
    And in a universe built on power, politics, and brutal hierarchy…
    Being a mistake is the most dangerous thing you can be.
