---Summary--- I'm Dang Minh Nhat, I'm a miserable unemployed person who depends on my parents. My life goes on peacefully and normally. That makes me no different from a real life NPC. My hobby is reading online novels. My favorite novel is "The Mage of Destiny". And I'm a crazy fan. On the day the new chapter of that novel was released, the app on my laptop crashed and I couldn't read the latest chapter. Swallowing my anger, I slept and hoped that I could read it tomorrow morning. But when I woke up, I found myself in a completely different body. A strange face that I had never seen before. After a while of searching, I found out that I had transmigrated into the body of a character in the novel "The Mage of Destiny". An NPC named Danz Grayson. Well...since I transmigrated, I had to stay away from the main characters. I didn't want to be in danger. But I also want to be by their side and watch them grow. How difficult... Okay! I'll become a real NPC. A background character and I'll follow those main characters silently. I'll watch them grow with my own eyes. Little did I know that was an absolutely wrong decision... --- The story's pace is quite...slow. At least in the beginning. The author is very lazy so the posting schedule will be random, someday when I lose interest I might drop it. I write just to satisfy my passion, for fun. So don't attack me if my work is similar with other works. I don't have much creativity in writing... Inspired by many different novels, it's easy to see similarities, little or significant depending on the details. It's probably quite general. If you don't like it, just skip. I use Google Translate to help me write this novel so there are a lot of grammar errors and unclear sentences. If you don't understand, please just comment and I will try my best to explain it. --- ChiiRi
