In the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse, individuals are compelled to battle monsters and one another for coins, food, and—ultimately—survival. While enigmatic "Constellations" observe the unwilling participants for their own amusement, one man rises as the protagonist: Yoo Joonghyuk, who repeatedly lives and dies in an endless struggle to bring this indiscriminate torture to a close. Kim Dokja has experienced a challenging and action-packed life through Joonghyuk for over a decade. While other readers abandoned the story early on, Dokja remained its sole reader until the very last chapter. At that time, he receives a puzzling message from the author, and the novel's inhumane world suddenly becomes reality. As the only person aware of what lies ahead, Dokja realizes that he must utilize his omniscience to navigate the deadly scenarios and stay alive. Dokja was never meant to play a main part, but in defiance of those who wish to spell his fate, he might just have to take the lead in writing his own conclusion.
