1. Omniscient Reader: The Prophet Has A Gripping Storyline
The storyline revolves around Kim Dok-Ja (Ahn Hyo-Seop), a corporate officer and a devoted reader of the fantasy novel Three Ways To Survive In A Ruined World. On the day the story concludes, bizarre things start to happen. Somehow, Dok-Ja’s real world gets trapped in the fictional world of the web novel, and even though he knows what happens in the story (including the ending), he seems confused about what’s happening. Now, trapped within the novel, Dok-Ja needs to navigate his life through the apocalypse while facing Yoo Jung-Hyeok (Lee Min-Ho), one of the greatest and powerful warriors in the story, who is blessed with a power with which he can return to life after death.

Kim Dok-Ja can also be heard saying, “The story that I love, the one that meant everything to me, has become reality.” He is the only one who knows the story even the ending. He then informs, We just have to clear up to the 99th scenario,” making it clear that he is adamant to save the real world and says, “With my companions, I will rewrite the ending of this story.”
