I am an only child.
That means I can be the main character, at least in my family.
I think I can also be the main character when I go out.
In high school, I finally realized that I was wrong.
In college, I realized that I was just an extra.
I love acting and I risk everything for acting.
But over time. My acting skills were used to fool people every day.
"Hey, look at him, he looks sick. Take responsibility for hitting her stomach!"
'Actually, I'm just acting.'
I thought at the time, while pretending to clutch my stomach as if in pain.
And as time went on, my acting skills leaned more toward deceiving someone. I started to swindle my parents, other people, and classmates, even though it was only for my own benefit.
Nevertheless, I still have a conscience for the poor.
At that time.
I rejected the teacher's argument that I was good at lying.
Until one day my parents had an accident. Unfortunately, only I survived the accident.
I was traumatized at that time. Then I remembered my parents before they died, who only left a note:
[Vale, do a lot of good. There are many people who need money].
I barely answered my mother's statement when my father quickly threw me out of the car before it hit the train.
'You guys, at least call me by my real name, not the nickname before you two want to die.'
When I experienced that incident, I went back to the way I was acting.
I think my acting is good, too.
"Hey, you could be the main character in this drama.
"You're good at acting."
Up until college, my acting was good.
But when I grew up and graduated from college, there were many people who acted better than me.
They are more handsome than me.
More authoritative than me.
I finally gave up acting and decided to live the life of a swindler.
From swindling people to swindling government officials.
They all chased me, but I wore a leather mask to cover my face so the police would have a hard time catching me.
Finally, I was recruited by a criminal organization in the city of Cuidad Juarez, Mexico, which borders El Paso, Texas, USA.
In just a few years, my name was known around the world.
I must admit that I have a talent for manipulating people.
I sometimes donate the money from the scam to orphanages in need.
That's because I'm still human.
Until I tried to steal items from the auction house.
But I failed.
The main reason is that the higher-ups interfered and caused all my subordinates and me to die.
At that moment, a strange light blinded my vision. Strange hologram plates appeared one after another.
I suddenly opened my eyes in a strange European-style medieval room.
I read a message telling me that I was in another world. More precisely, I was in the world of novels, the novel written by my deceased lover.
I thought I could at least be a main character or even a supporting character.
But...
"Whose crazy bastard sent me to this world?!"
Even in that other world, I didn't have time to despair over the fact that I was once again an extra character.
I have to live for the moment, regardless of whether I am a main character or an extra.
"This is not bad."
The life of an extra is actually quite good.
... ... ...
"Hoam..."
I yawned with my eyes half open.
I slowly lifted my body and looked out the window.
It had been two days since I had fallen into the novel world and entered this body.
At first I was confused by the general decor and design of the room.
Eventually, a strange holographic board called a game system appeared in front of me. As I read it, it gave me a hint that I was now in another world.
I was a little surprised, but I accepted the fact that I was being transferred to the novel "The Eldest Son of the Sword GrandMaster Escapes to the Academy".
Yes, this was the only novel written by my late lover.
At first, I wanted to deny it, saying that it was ridiculous. But since I was still living as an extra, not the main character, for those two days, I finally accepted it myself.
Two days was enough time for me to finally realize that I really had been reincarnated in the novel.
It was also time to decide what path I would take in this new life.
"Haa.... is annoying."
I got off the bed and went to the table at one side of the room.
On the table was the personal notebook of this real body. I opened the notebook.
It didn't take me long to close it because it wasn't very useful.
Then I went to the closet to get some clothes. The clothes I was wearing were for going outside. I also brought a black coat just in case.
Actually, that was the reason I wanted to leave.
Because the academy has a three-month vacation today, and the first semester has also ended. Three months is long enough for me, even in my previous school life, the long vacation was at least one month.
Afterwards, I looked in the mirror.
It showed a teenage boy of about 16 years old with pale skin and facial features that could be described as somewhere between average and handsome. His hair was pitch black and his eyes were blue like the ocean. His thin body was like a zombie, somehow he was able to pass this academy entrance exam.
Anyway, what's more important than that...
"Status window."
After I said those strange words, a hologram board, commonly found in RPG games, appeared in front of me.
_____
[Status]
—Name: O'Connor de Carpe
—Age: 16 years old
—Gender: Male
—Profession: None
—Title: Son of the Carpe Family

—Unique Ability: None

—Traits: [Calamity Grade Gluttony] [Coward] [Weak]
_____
No matter how many times I look at it, these stats are complete garbage.
Especially considering that the [Mana] stat was zero. That is, this body really couldn't handle magic or mana.
In other words, he couldn't become a superhuman or a witch. So he came to this academy with only a brain.
However, it seems that our friend who sent me here has at least some morals. Because he(?) gave me something like an S rating.
I'm curious about the SS rank ability, since it's the only item ability I can use.
"Well, let's look at the details first."
Without hesitation, I pressed the skill icon. Another hologram board appeared.
_______
[Eye of Gluttony(SS)]
—Rank: SS
—Details: A fusion of two greedy natures that reaches the peak of the fusion of two souls. It can see the target's stats and is immune to all kinds of barriers. It can also read the target's mind and distinguish between truth and lies. However, there is also a risk of contaminating the user's personality if used frequently, as this item contains vampire blood magic.
—(Can only be activated 5 times a day)—
__________
Eye of Gluttony.
If used excessively, there are side effects that can lead to the loss of humanity.
In terms of efficiency, this is a skill with unparalleled abilities.
Not bad.
I nodded my head in satisfaction.
I have prepared the base.
Turning my body around, I walked out of the dormitory.
I took a deep breath.
Now it's time to find something that will really help me in the future.
