He was a dreamer, one born every ten-thousand years. He was a great brother, a kind and loving young man. He was a protector, one who shed tears and blood for his own. But one day, his grace left him. His pedestal was high, and naturally, it caused his fall to be even greater.

I am an extra. That is an undeniable fact. As a mere extra in a fantasy world filled with sparkling heroes, charming princesses, and mysterious antagonists, my existence is merely to serve as a backdrop for them. But I, Arkan, will not remain silent! Why be satisfied with being ordinary, when I can be extraordinary?

But somehow, my life began to change after I accidentally obtained an Artifact That Extra Characters Should Not Be Able to Have. Now, with a power that invites more trouble than anything else, I struggle to avoid the attention of the main characters... or steal their attention?

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud

Synopsis: Thirty years ago, Han Seong-jin was an ordinary man until a crack in reality pulled him into the Void—a realm of eternal darkness and terror. Once the Birthplace of Gods, the Void had become the spawning ground of World Devourers, monstrous entities capable of consuming entire stars.

Hunters, ranked by strength, had become society's elite, while guilds vied for dominance in this new order. Despite his divine power, Seong-jin’s evaluation ranked him as an F-rank, the weakest possible tier.

Yet, the echoes of his past linger, and those who sense the faintest traces of his true strength begin to take notice.
