"He thought knowledge was power, but knowing the story won’t save him from me." ********** Extra Takes It All! True to its title, that hypocrite really does take it all. Opportunities? “Nah, the protagonist is too overpowered to even bother with them. I’ll take what he ignores—anything for my survival.” A harem? “I just help them a bit with their internal struggles, and somehow they keep clinging to me.” Items? “He barely uses them. They’re just lying around, so I’ll put them to good use.” And yet, that hypocrite keeps whining: *“I’m not supposed to be the protagonist. I don’t want to change the story’s outcome. I’ll just enjoy it from the sidelines.”* *Chuckle* Yeah, right. Somehow, I pushed through that mess of a plot. The other characters? They were decent. Well-developed. They felt real and believable. But that so-called “extra”? He was a walking contradiction. He started out on the sidelines, but gradually got more and more overpowered—until he himself became the story’s villain. As for the ending, don't even get me started. It really felt like the final battle was slapped together based on Authors hormones. The climax didn't make any sense at all, it was just a mess which totally twisted the logic that built up till this point of the story. So, what did I do wrong? I just cursed him a little, that’s all. And to be honest, he deserved it. Then, fate being fate, I ended up in that same novel that frustrated me. But unlike that Extra who cried about being thrown into a dangerous world and all, my situation is genuinely screwed. If I want to survive, there’s only one way: kill the extra. Yes, you heard me right. I won’t stop you, I will straight up kill. As your Professor, I’ll have plenty of chances.

In a world teetering on the edge of collapse, two unlikely souls are drawn together by fate—and the hidden powers they never knew they possessed. Leon, a quiet yet fiercely determined young man, harbors a dangerous ability: he can manipulate time itself, a gift he’s only begun to understand. After fleeing a world ravaged by a mysterious infection, he finds himself stranded on an isolated island that holds dark secrets far older—and far deadlier—than anything he could have imagined. Zara, a sharp-tongued and fiercely independent woman with the rare power of empathy, can sense the emotions and intentions of others. She’s not one to trust easily, but Leon’s quiet strength draws her in, even as they clash over what comes next in their battle for survival. Together, they must learn to balance their powers—and their undeniable connection—if they are to survive the malevolent force that controls the island. As the infection spreads, turning both people and animals into twisted versions of themselves, the duo discovers that the virus is no mere sickness—it’s a curse, awakened by ancient rituals and controlled by an intelligent, unseen force that stalks them in the shadows. To save themselves and the island, they must decipher cryptic symbols, face their deepest fears, and confront the darkness that lies within the very core of the island—and themselves. In the midst of danger, their banter becomes their anchor: “For someone with a godlike power, you sure second-guess yourself a lot.” “And for someone who can read emotions, you’re awfully good at hiding yours.” “Maybe I just don’t want to admit how much I like you.” “Good thing time’s on our side.” But as they uncover more about the island’s cursed past, their bond deepens, and the stakes become even higher. The line between love and survival blurs as Leon and Zara face choices that could tear them apart—or bring them closer than they ever imagined. Can they stop the infection before it consumes the island—and each other? Or will the forces lurking in the shadows finally claim their due? Aquis is a story of love, survival, and the power that comes with embracing the darkness within.
