The Mid-Boss Wants a Happy Ending

Kim Sahyun is reincarnated as Iellon Leronan, a mid-boss character in a fantasy novel.

Having suffered from unbearable loneliness, the day he meets Carpe, the novel’s protagonist and Iellon’s half-brother, he vows to give Carpe a true happy ending.

To steer the story toward a happy outcome, Iellon saves an assassin—who was originally meant to be one of the protagonist’s companions—and names him Noah.

“I’m Iellon.”
I’m the one you’ll later stab through the side with your dagger.

At first, Iellon only brought Noah along to control the flow of the original story.

Yet, facing hardships alone with no one to rely on, Iellon finds himself depending on Noah far more than he ever intended.

“Sorry, but to me, you’re more important than your brother.”

As events spiral out of control and Iellon’s soul wears thin, can he, as a mere mid-boss, still steer the story toward a true happy ending?
