Reincarnated into a Doomed Novel as an Unknown Extra

[??? Pov]

'Being an extra is really exhausting.'

I took a sip of wine as I observed the hall silently.

The students were talking and laughing casually, feeling safe after hearing the principal's voice.

Unknown to them, the situation may have been different if not for many factors.

In the original novel, the principal suddenly disappeared after announcing the rankings. Then, everything turned into chaos.

The students of each year were separated, then the demons and dark order killed half of them before running away.

Among them was Arthur's sister, Elara, making him kill a demon for the first time in his rage.

But now, the item they used to seal the principal suddenly "Broke" while using it.

The demons had a traitor. A traitor that no one expected. A traitor that was an extra. A demon that was supposed to die while fighting against Zephyr.

But here I was, safe without even a scratch, surrounded by people who would kill me in an instant if I had made a mistake.

Many things had changed. The future wasn't known anymore.

Yet I succeeded!

'Today… I reject all the races. I'm not a demon nor an Eldorian. I'll survive — as myself!'

[Raylin's pov]

With a wide smile, I shifted my gaze to Aria as I opened my arms for a hug.

But she just looked at me with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Aria! Ah… It's been so long!" Zephyr said as he began to move backward while pulling Cel and Selene. "We will leave you for your reunion."

'Traitor! We don't even know why she is angry!'

At the same time, Aria extended her hand to me. "Do you mind if we have a dance, Ray?"

"Ah…" I hesitated as I wondered if I could even dance.

I had perfect muscle control, but I had never used it for dancing!

With a sigh, I held her hand and moved with her to the centre of the dancing area.

I put my hand at her waist, and together, we began to dance.

*Bam!*

We moved in a great rhythm.

*Bam!*

[Bahaha… HAHAHA!]

our feet were light and nimble as we matched each other's steps.

*Bam!*

[I'm dying! Ahahah!]

As for those sounds?

*Bam!*

It was just Aria stomping on my poor foot for the 10th time.

It hurt me like hell, but it wasn't too serious against my bracelet and natural healing.

—You are really indifferent to pain now.

As I heard Aria's voice in my head, my face almost twitched.

'Indifferent to pain? That still hurts as hell!'

—Just like how it hurt Long Lei back then. He even surrendered just for his spirit, but you didn't accept it. I feel bad for the spirit you have now.

[Yeah! Tell him, auntie! He has been treating me like shit since my birth.]

"...."

I kept dancing silently, ignoring another stomp that hurt me more than all the former ones, and Glutton that jumped to her shoulder.

[The view here is better to watch this drama.]

"You are really angry just for that?" I asked with visible irritation.

I have been doing my best since my reincarnation just to fix this doomed world.

Even now, as I was dancing with her, I was still focusing on all my senses in case anything happened.

Yet, she was angry just because I refused someone's surrender in a friendly fight?

"Just for that?!" Aria yelled. "You were having fun by making someone suffer! You have changed. You are acting like… a monster!"

[Cough… he has always been a monster. He just didn't have anyone to fight seriously.]

At that moment, I had to enhance my hand before it breaks from her force.

"Aren't you overreacting? If that was a real fight, he would have been dead by the end of the fight. Maybe I had some fun back then, but that was for his own good!"

"Didn't you see his next fights?"

In her words, I recalled his fights after me.

He lost miserably on all of them because he didn't dare to fight with his spirit.

I scratched my head with an invisible hand. "Well, Ah… maybe I did the spirit dirty back then."

Aria gritted her teeth. "Don't you see yourself? You aren't affected by this! I won't be surprised if you kill someone with blinking in the future. Maybe you already did it!"

[Buahahaha! I can't… ahahah!]

I almost stumbled on my steps, but fixed myself at the last moment.

Damn! Did she have sixth sense too?

I ignored Glutton who was trembling above Aria's shoulder as I calmly said: "Many people did the same there. Why am I the only problem here? Why do you care so much for such a thing?"

Suddenly, my sense of danger began to alarm me.

"Because you are my brother!!" Aria clenched her fist and punched my face before I could teleport away.

*BOOM!*

I crashed into the wall instantly as many students stared at us.

Glutton fell on the ground as he kept trying to hold his laugh.

'You fucking bastard!'

I spit a mouth of blood on the ground and noticed some teeth mixed on it.

"You are really… overreacting."

I didn't bother to stand up. I could clearly feel my leg that was twisted in an unnatural angle, so I stayed on the ground.

I watched silently as a girl with short black hair and black eyes took Aria to a far table and calmed her down.

She was probably Lilith, Aria's best friend if I remembered correctly.

I looked around. Everyone was staring at me with pity, mocking, hesitation, amusement, or indifference.

Including Lunara and Kyle who had just returned. Kyle was laughing loudly at me!

I chuckled as I cracked my neck. "What a unique.. reunion."

It wasn't like I didn't understand her.

She had seen her little brother finally after 3 years, and what did he do? He — from her perception — had changed and became a monster that enjoys seeing others suffering.

And what did that same guy do secretly after 2 days?

He tortured a girl, gave her some hope, then casually let her die painfully.

I really understood her.

'Yes, I can be considered a monster according to any world.

And yes, I was enjoying this.

But that was my nature. That was my real self.

I didn't change or become like this after a traumatic experience.

I just killed some thugs… and enjoyed it. It was that simple.

So long as I consider someone my enemy, I'll enjoy their suffering. I try to give them a fast death often, but I don't hesitate to torture them.

Why would I show sympathy to such creatures? If they are ready to harm others, then it's just normal to show them my judgement. To show them my justice!

She may not accept my real self, and I'm really sad that she may not accept it.

But I'll never change. Because that's the real me. That's my real nature.

I'm true to my nature.

I'm a true person.'
