The Extra Man

Battle of Extras

Desmond Woods and his friends, dedicated fans of the popular novel Crown of Glory, are thrust into a world of mystery and danger when they meet the novel’s reclusive author, known only by his pen name, Lazy_Nerd. What begins as an ordinary fan meet-up quickly turns dark as Lazy_Nerd reveals a chilling secret: his fictional world will cross into reality in ten days. Through a powerful ritual, an ancient group has transformed Crown of Glory from mere words on a page into a portal. Now, characters from the story—heroes, monsters, and villains alike—would be able to slip between worlds. The problem? If these characters escape unchecked, they could wreak havoc on a reality unprepared for their power and chaos. Lazy_Nerd warns that he is now the "anchor" to this gateway, unable to enter his own world without trapping himself and anyone else who dares follow. Desmond, the skeptical but loyal Lizzie, and the curious twin brothers Laurence and Lucas must make a choice. Tasked with crossing into Crown of Glory to stop its villainous forces from escaping, they’re given only an hour to decide. Each of them wrestles with fear, doubt, and hidden struggles, but they understand that their decision will decide the fate of both worlds. In a battle where fantasy and reality collide, they must rely on their knowledge of the story’s twists, turns, and dangers to survive. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, Desmond and his friends discover that some truths—and enemies—are more dangerous than anything they’ve ever read. Will they risk everything to save their world, or will they find themselves lost in the story forever?

Rebirth in the Novel as an extra

"In a world that follows a script, I am the forgotten name in a tale of legends. But knowing the end is only the beginning of my fight. With every step, I’ll carve my own story, refusing to be written out before the final page is turned." ******************* Lucas, a teenage boy burdened with caring for his terminally ill mother and younger sister, finds his only escape in reading a popular web novel called The Beginning of the End.

Reborn as the heir of the formidable Asura Clan, Lucas must navigate this perilous new world, knowing that destruction is set to strike in just 25 years. Armed with foreknowledge from his previous life and immense unlocked potential, Lucas realizes he must gather allies and master his unique powers to stop the looming apocalypse. Yet with his memories fractured and dangers at every corner, Lucas must rediscover his purpose and forge a new fate that even the original story couldn’t predict. Will Lucas alter the world’s destiny, or is it doomed to repeat itself? The countdown to destruction has begun. --- Author’s Note: Hello, readers! I'm a new author, and English isn’t my first language. To help with clarity and grammar, I’ve used ChatGPT to correct some of my mistakes, but rest assured—the story, characters, and plot are all my own ideas. Some scenes in this novel are inspired by classic Indian movies and other novels, but I’ve added my own twists and changes. I believe these additions will make the story fresh and enjoyable for you. I know there are many novels out there with reincarnated main characters in fantasy worlds, and I love those stories too—like The Villain Is on Vacation or I Will Kill the Author. These are some of my favorites, and I'm always eagerly waiting for their next chapters. While you might spot some similarities between my story and others, I promise to make this journey unique and memorable. My goal is to create a tale you’ll want to revisit, and I’m putting my heart into every scene. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it! Thank you for joining me on this adventure! ----

Skill Forge: Broken Extra Character

Amidst the eerie silence of an unfamiliar hall, a cacophony of confused voices rose, mingling in a chorus of bewilderment. "Where are we?" "What happened?" "I thought I died!" Each utterance hung in the air, a testament to the collective disbelief gripping the room. As the haze of confusion lifted, disjointed memories surfaced, fragments of lives cut short by tragedy. "I remember... I was stabbed..." ventured one voice, echoed by another's affirmation of a similar fate. "I... I died in a plane crash," muttered a third, only to be met with a stunned agreement from a fellow survivor. Amidst the chaos of bewildered voices, one man stood apart, his expression a mask of contemplation amidst the turmoil. As his companions recounted their brushes with death, his mind churned with questions, each more confounding than the last. "I got shot... I remember it vividly," he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible above the din. "So how am I still here?" The enigma of their shared resurrection gnawed at him, compelling him to seek answers in the depths of his memories. With each revelation of a paired demise—a male and female, bound by the same tragic fate—a flicker of recognition ignited within him. "This... this seems familiar," he mused, the pieces of a puzzle slowly coalescing in his mind. But the picture remained incomplete, obscured by the fog of uncertainty that shrouded their surroundings. As the words "pairs, pairs, pairs" echoed in his mind like a cryptic mantra, a sudden realization struck him with the force of a revelation. "It can't be... don't tell me..." he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. With a sense of urgency, he began to scan his surroundings, searching for any sign or clue that could confirm his suspicions. Then, as if guided by an unseen force, his gaze shifted upwards, and there, bathed in an ethereal light, stood an angelic figure with golden apparel, its gaze fixed upon him with a warm smile. The sight took his breath away, filling him with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The man's heart raced as faced a real angel, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal encounter unfolding before him. The angel's words, spoken with an air of amusement, only deepened the enigma shrouding their meeting. "I never expected anyone to notice me," the angel remarked, a hint of playfulness in its voice. "I was concealing my presence to let everyone fully calm down, but to think someone noticed me. Just who are you?" Ethan's disbelief and confusion intensified at the angel's question. "Eh... Ethan Rivers," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. As Aurelia, the angel, finally revealed himself to the bewildered assembly, a hush fell over the room, each soul drawn in by his radiant presence and commanding aura. Ethan's gaze lingered on Aurelia. "Greetings, lost souls," Aurelia declared, his voice resonating with a majestic power that seemed to fill the very air around them. "I am Aurelia, and I shall be your guide to your new life." As Aurelia extended his arms in a gesture of welcome, Ethan felt a surge of rage and hesitation, "This it bad, really bad."

Strongest Extra Survival

A fantasy story of a boy named William in search of something that could help him, overcoming the curse he unknowingly invited upon himself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the center of a vast city stands a towering building that nearly scrapes the sky: the Tower of Babylon. A marvel of humanity, this tower was constructed using nothing but science and primitive tools. Though credit for its creation is largely attributed to an unknown architect, that very architect can be found not within the tower itself, but rather in the alley behind it. In this alley, a young man can be seen rummaging through trash cans in search of food. "One advantage of being near a big building is that there's always some good food here," he chuckled to himself. Despite his unkempt appearance—long, dirty hair, a scraggly beard, and a face smeared with dirt—his striking blue eyes remain his most prominent feature. Maxwell, as he's known, glanced up at the towering structure of the Tower of Babylon and muttered, "Who could even believe that I designed this building?" With a sigh, he began to eat the meager meal he had scavenged for the day. Suddenly, a black portal materialized before him, prompting Maxwell to eye it suspiciously. "Rich folk sure have weird tastes, mixing drugs into food," he mumbled as he discarded his meal and resumed his search. Unbeknownst to Maxwell, a young girl briefly emerged from the portal before it vanished, snapping her fingers in his direction. Oblivious to this, Maxwell continued his search, only to look up in shock as trucks began to rain down from the sky around him. "Now, trucks are raining from the sky!" he exclaimed in frustration, his voice echoing through the alley.
