Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

One night, the power went out, so the four decided to play the `Pen Spirit´ game. But in doing so, they broke two major rules of the game: they asked the `Pen Spirit´ how it died and forgot to send it away at the end.

(T/N; 笔仙; Bixian, the actual meaning in English is ´Pen Fairy, but the translator feels that the Fairy is identical to a visible creature that has positive energy and is often depicted with beautiful creatures, for example: Tinkerbell, etc. But in this story, looking at the storyline, this is a story about a spirit summoning game board or the same as OUIJA, with a lot of negative energy and dark vibe. So, the Translator will use the word 'Pen Spirit' instead of 'Pen Fairy´.)

They were warned that if they didn´t properly send off the `Pen Spirit´, it would haunt them relentlessly. This curse would only end with their destruction.

A mysterious old woman dressed in black, an eerie black cat, strange looks from their neighbors, lurking shadows, a landlord who lives in a cemetery, and haunting songs that play in the dead of night—all these leave the four trapped between nightmare and reality, on the verge of collapse.

Who has been possessed by the ´Pen Spirit´? How can they lift the curse? Behind the string of terrifying events, who—or what—is lurking in the shadows?

This novel has been made into a film with the title ´Death is Here´, directed by Guan Er. The film was released in all cinemas in China on June 8, 2012, and online playback platform: IQIYI. <<less
