The Extra wants a Peaceful Life
Is a peaceful life too much to ask for?"
Tega Bridges was just another soldier crippled by the cruelty of war. Bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he spent his days running a dilapidated bar—a family inheritance and the last asset he had.
One fateful night, after serving a homeless man who seemed insane, Tega found himself standing before a radiant goddess who promised his dreams could become reality if he lent her a hand.
Reincarnated into the mysterious world of Arcania—where mana capacity determined ones social standing—Tega was reborn without an ounce of mana, marking him as an anomaly in this bloodthirsty land.
Unfazed by his lack of mana and the poor treatment he received, Tega tried his best to grow stronger. Discovering that he had to meet impossible requirements to use his golden finger, Tega was left powerless in a world teetering on the brink of war.
How could someone who couldn't even protect himself aid an enigmatic figure like a goddess? He just wanted a simple life, so why did fate keep shoving him into the heart of conflict?
If he could spend the rest of his days in seclusion, he'd take the chance without hesitation—but his destiny had other plans.
For some, despair might seem the only option. But to someone who had faced even worse hardships, it was merely a stepping stone to something greater. Destiny wasn’t set in stone, and fate could be tamed.
If you can't change your fate, then you live your life like a puppet. Tega refused to let his story end as it had before. This time, he would seize control of his own destiny.
Unwilling to succumb to the whims of fate, Tega makes a pact with a mysterious being, gaining the power to finally change his life—at a cost.
