Synopsis

What if you were summoned to a fantasy world… only to die slowly in it?

A nameless tourist from another world—no chosen one, no prophecy—finds himself summoned to a decaying kingdom by accident. No powers, no blessings. Just a curse: one that’s eating him alive from the inside.

Betrayed by the gods, rejected by the people, and armed with nothing but desperation, he’ll do anything to survive. Lie, steal, even kill.

This isn’t a story about saving the world.
It’s about surviving it.

For as long as his rotting lungs still let him breathe.

Note from author

[The End is Now] When I started writing Why Me, I didn't want to create a perfect hero or a fantasy filled with clichés. I wanted to explore what happens when someone truly unwanted ends up in another world—no blessings, no powers, just rot, despair, and the will to survive. This is not a story of glory. This is a descent into a cursed world, where the only thing that matters is staying alive one more day. If you’re looking for hope and light, you won’t find much here. But if you want to feel what it’s like to fight against a fate worse than death—welcome. This is my first serious attempt at writing, and I’d love to hear your honest feedback. Thank you for reading.
