Coin’s Edge: Reincarnated as a Extra

"Of course, you can, but you'll need some support," Butcher chuckled. Then he continued:

"I offer you a place where you can earn ten thousand virgins, Celestial Maiden Tribe."

Haley suddenly frowned when he heard that. He turned to Butcher, clearly expecting an explanation.

But Ainsley, who was standing nearby, immediately objected.

"No, I oppose it!" Displeasure was clearly written across his aged face as Butcher brought up that tribe.

"Do you mean that tribe? Celestial Maiden Tribe, the one that lives deep in the sacred forest of our clan?" Haley started to recall them — he had met them once, long ago, when he was a child.

It was a small tribe under the protection of his clan. They were considered a blessing, bringing good fortune. Known for their pure bloodline, they were all virgins — and if what Butcher suggested was true, it would be difficult... even for someone of Haley's status.

"Come on," Butcher smirked, "If you want power, you have to exchange something equally immense. Do you think the legendary coin of your clan came without a price like that? Nothing in this world is free. Besides, you're the only one who can fulfill this condition — that right belongs to your clan."

He raised one eyebrow.

"Don't worry about how to do it. We'll help you with that part."

Butcher's sly gaze shifted to Haley, his voice turning almost sweet.

"Just let my team enter your sacred forest — secretly. We're your allies now. You'll get a new power, something that can rival even the legendary coin, right?"

Ainsley still stood his ground, shaking his head firmly. But Butcher didn't react emotionally — he simply nodded and said playfully:

"I'll give you ten minutes to hash it out."

***

"Ainsley, please — accept it! I want this power!" Haley said loudly, his voice urgent.

"No, young master. That tribe is too important to our clan. I can't accept such a damn condition!"

Haley snapped back.

"Why?! You always follow my orders. Why are you ignoring the most important order of my life?"

"You have to possess it!"

…

"I'm sorry, but I can't. I've ignored everything you've done until now, such as building a prison in the holy forest, but this... I just can't."

Before the butler's opposition, Haley just clenched his teeth in frustration, deep down. Then, he slowly let out a long sigh as though he had given for himself a vital decision.

"I thought so. Lucky for me, I brought this."

He took a short breath and pulled something out from his space system, but his face still showed little sense of loss.

It was a coin, plain at first glance, but something about it was different. That overwhelmed the mana from Haley's butler.

Ainsley's expression changed instantly. He stiffened the moment he saw it.

That was the coin—the one he had given to Haley's grandfather. A symbol of loyalty between him and the Clan's leader, the man who had once saved his life in the fourth challenge. After that, Ainsley had pledged himself to follow him and became part of the Wolfe Clan.

And from then on, he lived in loyalty to the Clan, carrying out his duties without question. Over the years, he'd come to believe the coin had lost its meaning and had become unnecessary.

But at this point, that forgotten oath ended up largely flawed.

He had sworn on his mana core to obey anyone who held it.

"How... how do you have that?! That's impossible!"

Haley sighed, his eyes turning sharp. He wasn't listening to Ainsley anymore.

"I know you'd only obey my grandfather. So I stole it. Luckily, I got it. Now, do what I say. I'll only use this once. I've been saving it for a moment that truly matters — because I don't trust anyone."

"But don't worry too much. It's just a small change for our clan. Losing this tribe won't matter much in the long run... because you and I both know — in ten years, we wouldn't survive anyway."

"I don't know how or why, but when I heard Kevin's sister's prophecy for the first time... I believed. I believed I might be one of the few who could change it."

...

The first prophecy — something everyone either feared or hoped for — had never once been wrong. Ainsley could only let out a deep sigh and finally nodded.

There was nothing more he could do.

"As you wish."

***

"I'm very happy to work with you, my client. Now, you may take the coin," Butcher smiled and rolled it across the table.

But his smile froze for a moment when he heard Haley's next words — just a little surprise and confusion appeared on his face.

"Ten more days. That's when you can get into my holy forest. And don't forget what I need."

Butcher chuckled, closing his eyes.

"As expected, now you really look like your grandfather. You say as if that is yours, I guess you've got a master plan already."

"We've got a contact of a top-tier craftsman. Even if I wanted something else, I couldn't do wrong to it, could I?"

He turned his half-closed eyes to Ainsley, who stood powerless, his face wrinkled in silent frustration.

"So then, Cheers, our job is done."

"All right, my little boys. Cheers."

"Cheers! Yaaah! Congrats!"

…

Countless cheers echoed as the last rays of light faded — tinged with something almost manic.

Finally, ten days came.

Shocking news echoed loudly around the world.

The Celestial Maiden Tribe was completely wiped out along with the sacred forest of the Wolfe Clan.

Everyone in the tribe was killed. There wasn't a single sign of a survivor in that holy forest—

as if the entire place had vanished overnight.

But the remnants left behind were horrifying—blood everywhere, scattered corpses, and bodies that looked like empty husks. It was as if every drop of blood had been drained from them.

It was more than just a massacre—it was a message. A shameful mark etched onto the honor of the great Wolfe Clan.

No one knew who was behind it. But someone had to take responsibility.

And unfortunately, that person... was Angela, who currently stood by Kevin's side and supported Kevin.

Just like that, the balance of power shifted.
