Damien Rothschild, an immortal who has lived life to the fullest for the past four hundred years, is visited by a mysterious woman who reveals the many depravities of his mischievous brother in another world.To save his brother, Damien must first travel to this other realm. However, the path becomes treacherous as he is tricked and loses everything he once had. Now, he must navigate this new world in search of his brother.This story follows a man who was granted the gift of immortality, allowing him to rise to the very pinnacle of the human race—until he was stripped of everything he held dear in a desperate attempt to save the only thing he ever truly loved.

Leo Lock, a reading addict with the ability to truly 'read' books, never really fit in his boring 'normal' world. However, everything changed when an unknown voice found its way to his head!

Fainting only to find himself in the body of a character from a fantasy novel he once read upon waking up, Leo barely processed his new reality before he was thrown into another whirlpool.

[Role: Reader]
[Target: Reach the Epilogue.]

The only lead he had about his 'transmigration' didn’t speak much! Even the character he took over already had a foot in the coffin! How was he supposed to survive that long? Why did he have to become the protagonist’s brother?!

Moreover, what was this Personal Book supposed to be? Reading Attributes? Points?

Follow Leo as he experiences the true life of a reader in a fantasy book, facing expected challenges, and encountering all kinds of 'new'…

Would he manage to go back and find out the reason behind his 'transmigration'? Was that even his purpose? Or was this nothing but the start of a much bigger change beyond the scope of his understanding…?
