If the hypothetical book still has a hypothetical copyright, the hypothetical man can expect a hypothetical lawsuit. Well Hypothetically. I'm not a hypothetical law student.

But let's say, hypothetically, no one knows who the hypothetical real author is, then what?

It is still a no. Agentt. Forget about the "hypothetical" parts. If its not from the original author and you have no agreement with the original author like say a collab, than what it is doing is a fanfiction of that story. And no, that person should Not be paid money for rewriting a work that is not originally theirs.

To give you an example, someone on r/writing reddit once wanted to write a sequel of The Witch. They then say they will change it to an original story but have the same character with the same appearance, and its like the character is all grown up, but everything else in the story is completely different. And I believe they wanted make money off of it.
