Ordinary history scholar Lukas wakes up as the doomed cannon fodder of a novel, thrown into a powerful Prague family's power games.

Chapter 1: A Rainy Night in Prague
Prague's Old Town sank into the night, the rain falling in a fine, dense net that shrouded Charles Bridge and the distant spires of the castle. The unbroken sound of the rain was no longer mere background noise; it was like a thick barrier of sound that shut out the clamor of the outside world, leaving only damp, cold air seeping through the cracks in the castle's ancient stone walls into the archive room.
The temperature here was lower than outside, as if time had frozen in this place, leaving only dust drifting slowly in the dim beams of light.
Lukas Werner stood in the dim light of the castle archive room, his fingertips brushing over an old volume with a gilt cover. The cover was not ordinary leather, but a material rough to the touch yet heavy with history, its edges already worn and frayed, exposing the yellowed fibers beneath.
The family crest on the cover — the pattern of a spread-winged eagle entwined with a sword — gleamed coldly in the damp air. That sheen was not warm; instead it carried a chilling sense of distance, as if some spirit asleep for a thousand years were watching the living.
Thunder rolled past outside the window, shaking the glass so that it trembled faintly and gave a soft, dangerous "click," as if it might shatter at any moment. The sound stirred a tremor in Lukas's heart. The air was filled with the smell of aged paper mixed with mold. It was not a pleasant smell, yet it was strangely reassuring — the decay and truth left behind after years had settled.
