Novel’s Extra: I Am The Cheat Code

You know that one guy in every story? The one nobody notices, nobody remembers, and nobody cares about? Yeah. That’s me. Or at least, that’s who I am now. My name was Kang Jin-ho, I am a loser punching bag in my old world. I worked a dead-end job, got screwed over by my coworkers, and died like a joke trying to save someone from a damn truck. But instead of disappearing into oblivion, I woke up in a world I knew all too well: Battleborn Academy, the setting of the brutal SSS+ difficulty novel I once read. Sounds cool, right? Wrong. I wasn’t reborn as the hero. I wasn’t even the villain. I got stuck as a nameless extra, weak, sickly, and about as important to the story as a piece of background furniture. But life has a twisted sense of humor, because even if this world’s hell, I’ve got one advantage: I know everything about it. The plot twists. The hidden quests. The betrayals. And most importantly, the things nobody else knows are the broken pieces of power lurking beneath the surface. It starts with my Status Window, the kind you’d find in a game, except my stats are garbage. But there’s one thing it doesn’t mention: my cheat ability, Devourer. Kill monsters and absorb their powers. Sounds simple, right? Except nothing in this world is simple. Every step toward power costs me my sanity, my humanity, maybe even my soul. Now I’m stuck at Battleborn Academy, surrounded by heroes and monsters in disguise. There’s Lee Yuna, the cold genius who hates my guts but might just be the most dangerous person here. There’s Jang Hyuk-rin, a charismatic prodigy with a tragic past and plans that’ll burn the world down. And don’t even get me started on the shadowy puppeteer pulling the strings behind it all. I’ve got to survive, manipulate the plot, and stay two steps ahead of a world that’s designed to kill me. Because if there’s one thing I learned the hard way, it’s this: second chances don’t come free. I’m not the hero of this story. But I’ll be damned if I die a background character again.
