Help! My Fictional Knight Is Real?!
Prologue and Character Introduction
Seren Wagner was just a normal seventeen-year-old girl—if obsessing over a fictional knight counted as normal
For years, she poured her heart into writing The Forgotten Princess’s Rebellion, a tale of betrayal, magic, and war. But above all, she wrote about Kieran Valtor, the knight who would die for his oath yet never be chosen by love
She never expected to summon him into her bedroom
One afternoon, while sleeping in after an all-night writing spree, Seren was jolted awake by the sensation of falling off her bed. Before she could hit the floor—strong arms caught her.
A man in full armor, stormy-gray eyes sharp with battle instinct, was staring down at her.
Very real. Very confused. And very much not supposed to be here
Kieran has no idea how he got here. One moment, he was preparing for war, and the next, he was standing in a cramped room with glowing screens and bizarre contraptions
Seren has no idea how she summoned him. But if her writing really had the power to pull him into this world, what else could cross over?
Kieran thinks she’s a noblewoman. And despite the madness, he is utterly devoted to her protection.
1. Keep a six-foot-tall, sword-carrying knight hidden in her house
2. Figure out how to send him back (if she even wants to)
3. Not completely fall for her own fictional character
But as strange events start happening around her, one terrifying thought lingers—
If Kieran was summoned… what if something much worse is coming next?
--Character Introduction --
Seren Wagner – The Author Who Broke Reality
Seren wagner (fl)
17-year-old writer who accidentally summons her own fictional knight. Sarcastic, dramatic, and completely unprepared for Kieran’s unwavering devotion. Trying to keep a six-foot-tall knight hidden while figuring out what (or who) brought him here
Kieran Valtor – The Knight Who Shouldn’t Exist
Kieran Valtor (ml)
A 6'3" knight with storm-gray eyes, battle instincts, and an unshakable sense of duty. Thinks Seren is a noblewoman in danger and refuses to leave her side. Terribly confused by modern life—but still insists on calling Seren "my lady."
Rina Wagner – The Nosy Older Sister
Rina Wagner (fl sis)
20 years old, sharp-eyed, too smart for her own good, and way too suspicious. Seren has never been good at lying, and Mara knows it. If she finds Kieran, game over.
lena warner – The Best Friend Who Thinks She’s Crazy
lena warner (fl bff)
18-year-old tech geek who did not sign up for this. Seren tells her she brought her fictional knight to life— she thinks she needs sleep. But the more she sees, the harder it is to deny the impossible.
Eleanor Wagner – The Mom Who Sees Everything
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Seren’s mother, a no-nonsense lawyer with laser-sharp instincts. She loves her daughters but can tell when something is off. If Seren doesn’t hide Kieran well, Eleanor will find him—and there will be questions
James Wagner – The Dad Who Just Wants a Quiet Life
James Wagner (fl dad)
A history professor who loves medieval warfare but did not expect to find a real knight in his house. More easygoing than his wife, but if he finds out, he might just want to interview Kieran instead of freaking out
Chapter 1
[Seren’s Room – Past Noon]
Seren is peacefully sleeping, burrito-wrapped in her blanket, with zero plans of waking up anytime soon
Something heavy crashes to the floor
Seren wagner (fl)
(mumbling, half-asleep) Mmm… earthquake?
She rolls over, unbothered
Deep, unfamiliar voice: …Where am I?
Seren wagner (fl)
(groggy) Huh?
Her vision is blurry, but there’s definitely someone standing in her room. A tall, armored figure with a sword. A very real-looking sword
Seren wagner (fl)
(squinting) …Is this a dream?
She rubs her eyes. When she looks again, the man is still there
A man with golden-brown hair, stormy gray eyes, and a face straight out of a fantasy novel
Seren wagner (fl)
(still half-asleep) …Why do you look like Keiran Valtor?
The man frowns, gripping his sword
Kieran Valtor (ml)
Who are you? Where is this place?
Then, realization slams into her like a truck
Seren wagner (fl)
(bolting upright) WHAT THE—?!
Kieran moves instantly, raising his sword
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(serious) Enemy attack?
Seren wagner (fl)
ENEMY WHAT?! (panicked) PUT THE SWORD DOWN!
Kieran lowers it slightly, but his gaze stays sharp
Kieran Valtor (ml)
Explain yourself. Are you a sorceress?
Seren wagner (fl)
(offended) EXCUSE ME?!
Kieran scans the room, eyes narrowing at the glowing computer screen, posters, and fairy lights
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(muttering) Strange magic…
Seren wagner (fl)
STRANGE—THIS IS A NORMAL BEDROOM?!
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(calmly) Then where am I?
Seren wagner (fl)
(whispering) …Oh my god
Kieran Valtor (ml)
You are trembling. Are you injured?
Seren wagner (fl)
NO, I’M HAVING A CRISIS
Kieran Valtor (ml)
I see. What is a… ‘crisis’?
Seren wagner (fl)
(muttering) I was just writing… I was thinking about Keiran… and now…
Kieran Valtor—her Kieran Valtor—is standing in her room.
Looking at her like she just accused him of treason.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(serious) You know my name
Seren wagner (fl)
(panicking) I—NO—MAYBE?!
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(suspicious) Are you a spy?
Seren wagner (fl)
FOR WHO?! THIS IS LITERALLY MY BEDROOM?!
Kieran scans the room again—his gaze pausing at her laptop, bookshelf, and the massive character poster of him on her wall
Kieran stares directly at the artwork of himself, wearing his knight uniform, looking all broody and majestic.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
…Why is my image displayed on your wall?
Kieran Valtor (ml)
Explain
Seren wagner (fl)
(dying inside) I can’t
Kieran Valtor (ml)
Then I shall investigate myself
Seren wagner (fl)
WAIT, NO—
Kieran reaches for her laptop.
Seren lunges forward and slams it shut before he can see her 80,000-word document of Kieran x Reader fanfiction.
Seren wagner (fl)
THAT IS PRIVATE.
Kieran raises an eyebrow at her sudden aggression
Kieran Valtor (ml)
You are behaving strangely. Are you hiding something?
Seren wagner (fl)
YES—WAIT, NO—UGH, I MEAN—
Kieran’s gaze sharpens, but before he can question her further…
A loud knock comes from the door.
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Seren? Why are you yelling?
Kieran immediately tenses, gripping his sword.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(serious) An intruder?
Seren wagner (fl)
(horrified) THAT’S MY MOM, DON’T KILL HER.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
…Your what?
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Seren?
How the heck is she going to explain this?!
Chapter 2
[Seren’s Bedroom – Chaos Level: Critical]
Kieran Valtor, legendary knight from her novel, is standing in her room, gripping his sword like he’s about to fight for his life
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Seren? Why are you yelling?
Seren wagner (fl)
(whispering) You need to hide
Kieran stares at her like she just spoke in an ancient forgotten language
Kieran Valtor (ml)
I do not hide
Seren wagner (fl)
WELL, YOU DO NOW
Kieran crosses his arms, unimpressed.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
I am a knight, not a thief
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
I’m coming in
Seren wagner (fl)
(hissing) OH MY GOD—UNDER THE BED, NOW.
Kieran looks at the tiny space under her bed
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(offended) You dare suggest I crawl into—
Seren wagner (fl)
I DARE. MOVE.
With zero respect, Seren shoves him toward the closet instead and slams the door just as her mom walks in
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
What was that noise?
Seren throws herself onto her bed, looking completely suspicious
Seren wagner (fl)
(too quickly) Noise? What noise? I didn’t hear anything
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Why are you sweating?
Seren wagner (fl)
…It’s hot.
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
It’s February.
Seren lets out a high-pitched, totally normal laugh.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(muffled, from inside the closet) This is ridiculous
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
(frowning) …What was that?
Seren wagner (fl)
(panic mode) UH. UH. RADIO.
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Since when do you listen to the radio?
Seren’s soul is leaving her body.
Seren wagner (fl)
New habit! Love the radio! So cool! Anyway, Mom, I’m fine, totally sane, you can go now!
Her mom does not look convinced.
Eleanor Wagner (fl mom)
Right… Well, come down for lunch soon.
Seren nods aggressively until her mom finally leaves the room.
Seren wagner (fl)
(whispering) Coast is clear
Kieran kicks open the closet door.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
(grumbling) Hiding in a cramped space… What kind of warrior does such a thing?
Seren wagner (fl)
(deadpan) Oh, I’m sorry. Would you rather I introduce you to my parents as ‘Hi, this is my favorite fictional knight who somehow came to life’?!
Kieran Valtor (ml)
You speak nonsense. What is ‘fictional’?
Seren wagner (fl)
(realizing) Oh. Right. You don’t know.
Kieran Valtor (ml)
Know what?
Seren looks at him—the living, breathing character from her book—and gulps.
Seren wagner (fl)
You’re not supposed to exist.
