Abruptly thrown into the world of a novel and possessing a character fated to die before the story even began, he had no choice but to live as a new identity. Fortunately, luck was on his side—he transmigrated before the novel started, giving him a chance to grow stronger and avoid his grim destiny. Armed with knowledge from the book, he was confident he could destroy any red flag standing in his way. But something was off. The once brooding, dark, edgy-lord protagonist transformed into a bubbly, insufferable cheerful nuisance who took great pleasure in annoying him to the core. To make matters worse, the events unfolding in his reality didn’t align with the plot he memorized. It was as though he transmigrated into an alternate version of the novel. Whatever the reason, one thing was certain—this was going to be a headache. ====== This is a remake of my novel [Not-So an Extra]

“Joy is the token of a generous personality. Sometimes it is also a mantle that clothes a life of sacrifice and self-giving. A person who has this gift often reaches high summits. He or she is like the sun in a community.” “Life is a song, sing it. Life is a struggle, accept it.” By mother Teresa, which I know it’s true.

Jane was just a girl living under someone else's roof, growing up in her aunt’s house, enduring a life as humble as that of a slum dweller. Her greatest joy in life was fantasizing about the world of magic. From Harry Potter to Dragon Raja, she was captivated by those mystical stories, always dreaming that one day, a letter from a magical academy would arrive, taking her away from this place that never truly belonged to her—into another world. Yet, she never expected— Her fate had already been manipulated. The magic academy admission letter she forged… turned out to be real? Why is the ruler of the demonic realm so obsessed with her? And why does the academy’s cold-as-eternal-ice headmaster keep breaking the rules for her? He, the supreme existence, standing above all, as indifferent as a god. Yet, for her, he broke the rules again and again— Even at the cost of forsaking his duty to guide all beings. He, the proud noble heir, born to be admired, his bloodline pure. He gazed at her, his sharp eyes filled with a complicated emotion. His voice was cold, yet carried an inexplicable hesitation. “You, an ordinary mortal without any noble lineage—why were you allowed to enter this place? So… who exactly are you?” He, the king who endured a thousand years of solitude, waiting for her in the depths of darkness. He reached out his hand, his voice as deep as if it had traveled through the endless abyss of time. “If you could only choose one side—would you stand by my side, or become my enemy?”

Under his gaze, with a slow and deliberate motion, the brunette beside him grips the railing and carefully leans back. Aiden's first instinct was to step closer, but the girl's raspy voice stopped him. "You'd be surprised how often I do this, sir." Sensing she had startled him, and perhaps even disturbed him, she added the explanation she knew he needed: "Surely you've had moments in your life when you wished everything would just end," she said, closing her eyes and leaning back a little further. "When I do this, I realize that I don't want to die." The man rested his elbows on the railing and let out a long sigh. She was the first woman in his life he couldn't understand or see through. A unique and complex character, but damn beautiful. "Remind me once again, for the fourth time now, how you passed the psychological evaluation, Miss Joy?" The profound silence between them had become uncomfortable. Aiden felt he should rephrase the question, soften it somehow. For the first time since he'd met her, he felt he'd crossed a line. "Mr. Black," she finally said with a sigh, "when I do this, I realize that I want to live and be happy." Aiden turned his head slightly toward her. Something in his gaze had changed, and Tatum noticed. That's why she casually added: "As for the psychological exams," she chuckled, letting go of the railing, "be assured that I don't have that much cash lying around just to pass them all, only to protect your ass." The man's chuckle put her at ease. She didn't need anyone's pity.

[Warning: Mature Content] The next morning, Luna was lying on the edge of the bed without clothes. There were Benjamin's teeth marks on Luna's body. Then Luna opened her eyes and when she slowly tried to get up, she felt a sharp pain in her lower body. Luna was feeling so much pain in her body that she was unable to move. When Luna saw all her clothes on the floor and her condition, her eyes widened in surprise. Luna did not remember anything. What happened to her last night? She did not remember anything about what happened to her at the party last night?! Just then Benjamin comes out of the bathroom. Benjamin was wearing only a towel. And his six packs were visible. Fair complexion, deep blue eyes and handsome face! Benjamin was a big businessman! But his body was exactly like a hero. Luna used to work in Benjamin's company, but Luna had never seen Benjamin so closely before. Then seeing Luna, Benjamin comes to the mirror and fixes his hair, then signs a cheque of 10 crores and hands it over to Luna and says, "If you think this is not enough, ask for more." On hearing this from Benjamin, Luna angrily tears the cheque and throws it on Benjamin's face and says, "I don't want your money! Who do you think you are? If you are rich, can you force yourself on someone?" Luna covers herself with a blanket and goes to the bathroom. On hearing this from Luna, Benjamin's face smiles and Benjamin looks at the torn cheque and says, "Crazy girl!" After saying this, Benjamin takes out clothes from the wardrobe and gets ready by wearing a black 3-piece suit. After a while, Luna comes out of the bathroom wearing other clothes. Benjamin was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and looking at Luna. Luna looked at Benjamin once and tried to open the door to quickly get out of the room but she could not open the door, the door was closed and only Benjamin knew the password to open the door. Then Benjamin gets up from the sofa and comes to Luna and looking into her eyes says. "What is your name?" "I don't tell my name to strangers!" Luna said looking at Benjamin with disgust. Hearing this from Luna, Benjamin comes close to Luna's face and says. "Until you tell me your name, you cannot leave this room!" Hearing this from Benjamin, Luna turned her face to the other side and said. "Luna!" "Luna!" Benjamin said while holding Luna's waist and pulling her towards him. Seeing this, Luna started looking at Benjamin in surprise, then Benjamin opened the lock of the door. When Luna saw the door open, she immediately got away from Benjamin and went out of the room.
