Imagine being ripped from your mundane reality and thrust into a world you only knew as fiction. For Ash Burn, a down-on-his-luck orphan and avid gamer, this becomes a terrifying truth after conquering the infamously difficult VR game, Apocalypse Online. Instead of the promised reward, he finds himself in a disturbingly familiar realm. It's the universe of *Heaven's Favorite: Wrath of Gods*, a novel he once read. But Ash isn't the chosen one, the dashing hero destined for greatness. He's an extra, a background character in a story spiraling toward destruction. Armed with only scattered glimpses of the future and the potent secrets of the Runes—a source of power desired by celestial beings and infernal forces alike—Ash must navigate a treacherous landscape. He'll contend with a headstrong protagonist, angels hungry for dominance, and a looming war that threatens to obliterate everything. As Ash fights to survive, walking a razor's edge between rewriting destiny and unleashing utter chaos, a disturbing realization dawns: the game might be rigged. In this world where power is paramount and cunning is king, can an ordinary extra defy fate and reshape the destiny of a world teetering on the brink? Or was Ash Burn always meant for something more than just being an extra?
