The Calamity's Handler

"In this life my name is Nazir."

He was a nameless man facing off the faceless demon. Once upon a time he had a true name, but it was long forgotten after numerous lives he'd lived in this fictional world. [Chronicle of Mora] had thousands of chapters and he had only read up to where Ravana, the rakshasa king, was resurrected, bringing about the end of the world.

He had walked alongside the many main characters of the novel, and yet he could never stir the plot away from the disaster.

Despondent, he was going to shave off his hair and become an ascetic monk, hoping to reach moksha in this lifetime.

Then he met a saint-like prince who died young in the book. A minor character who was only described in past tense from the memories of the heroes and heroines.

"Remember me. I'll come and find you again."
