Path Of An Unknown Extra

( ???? pov )

I tried to wake up but felt like something heavy was placed on my body or my whole body felt heavy to me. With some effort, I managed to get up and sit on the bed.

To think I may struggle to even rise from the bed due to drinking. I should drink in moderation.

Making the same empty promise I make every time I have a hangover and breaking it the next day, I try to shake off the dizzy feeling in my head.

I try to get up from my bed but my body felt very heavy to me like I wear heavy metal armor or a bunch of heavy clothes at the same time. With some effort, I managed to stand up.

Due to darkness, I can not see anything properly in the room but some light coming from the slightly open window helps me from hitting something with my foot alas only if I manage to walk with my spinning head.

So what is worse vomiting after the drinking or a hangover comes after the drinking? Well for me both suck.

I massaged my temple to relieve the increasing pain in my head and took a step forward. Almost lost my balance in a single step but I managed to maintain my balance. Few, that was close. Almost fit the floor and I do not think I can get up easily with this hangover.

I stabilised my body but now what? Should I try crawling? Nah it will be too shameful. Let's try to walk. One step at a time.

Slowly I tried to walk towards the bathroom or I tried to but soon something else caught my attention.

"When did my room become this big?" ( ???? )

Wait something is wrong. After some careful observation, I came across the true but horrifying fact.

I am not in my room or this is not my room. I try to balance my shaky body from falling and put my hands into my pockets to see if I still have my phone or other stuff.

After searching a lot I did not find anything. No phone, no wallet, no cash nothing. Even the clothes on my body seem unfamiliar to me.

Now I am freaking out.

Did I accidentally enter someone else house by mistake? But I am sure I did not leave my room last night. So cross this reason.

Did someone kidnap me and throw me in here while I was sleeping? Well, it might be a reason but I highly doubt it and I have my reasons for doubts.

After taking long and steady breaths I came to the most possible conclusion. I have no idea what is happening.

My body feels weird to me like it is mine but at the same time, it is not or am I hallucinating? Where is the damn light switch?

I tried to clap and use my voice to turn on the lights but nothing worked so the only option to get some clarity of the situation is the window.

Slowly I try to walk closer to the window. After reaching it I tried to open it. The window slid easily and strong sunlight hit my face.

"My eyes." ( ???? )

I cover my eyes and try to adjust my sight to the strong sunlight.

As I adapted to the strong sunlight I got a clear view of the outside through the window.

My pupils contracted and expanded. I took a deep breath and released it. I did this exercise a couple of times to calm down my raging emotions. All the dizziness is gone in seconds.

As my emotions got stable I looked at the scenery before me.

Huge buildings rise towards the sky, and the structure of these buildings looks like some sci-fi buildings with fully realistic 4D digital pictures on some of the buildings.

There are flying cars, flying trucks, and flying humans? I looked at the bottom of the building and found various people roaming on the footpath.

Some are dressed in warrior-like outfits with weapons in their hands while some are in normal clothes but the strange thing is nobody seems to bother that some people are wearing weird clothes. It's like they are used to it.

Is it World Cosplay Day?

Some people walk with their pets but the size of their pets is ridiculous. Some are the size of a bull while some are the size of a hippo or rhino.

The most shocking thing is that those pets look similar to dogs and cats. 

The trees on the side of the road seem different compared to the ones I have in my memory. Did that tree just move on its own?

I rubbed my eyes and even tried pinching my hand to see if I was dreaming but nothing worked. I raised my hand and gave myself a solid slap. The burning pain on my cheek told me that this was not a dream.

As my mind got overloaded with this scenario the pain in my head started to increase.

I moved backwards and held my head with my hands. The pain starts to get worse with each passing second.

I just sat on the floor due to pain but strangely no scream or sound came out of my mouth. I tried to speak but no sound came out. Like someone pushed the mute button.

Suddenly I start seeing some images. Some unknown information is forcefully injected into my mind and it is a hell of a painful.

But the flow of information and images is very fast which caused my already overloaded brain to reach the point of explosion.

Before my head gets blown for real my vision gets dyed black and I crash on the floor. The last thing I saw was the smile of someone.

***

As soon as I wake up I try to open my heavy eyes. I found myself on the floor drenched in sweat. It took me a while to figure out my current state with the help of the extra memories in my head.

The good thing is my headache is gone. The worst thing is I am now in the body of someone else in a different world. Great right?

Hell no. I am stuck in a world where some human beings are as strong and destructive as nuclear weapons with just their fleshy bodies.

This world is completely different from my world as this world has a special energy called "MANA".

A world filled with lots of danger at every corner. The world where strength is supreme and the biggest fist has the greatest say.

The body I possess belongs to a person named David Adam.

An orphan boy with no family or relatives at least his memories say so.

Even after the light from the window started to get dim and some cool breeze flowed from it I continued to lie down on the floor. Sinking into my thoughts which seem to have no end.

It's not like I can not move but I don't want to move. Suddenly get thrown into a world unfamiliar to me and had no idea what to do.

What am I supposed to do? Celebrate or despair? Happy or sad?

I need some time to adjust my mind and emotions.

I continue to stare at the ceiling with a blank expression.

I don't know how much time passed since I lie down like a corpse without moving an inch.

When the unknown amount of time passed I mustered my strength and got up from the floor due to a very logical reason. At least I should lie on the bed instead of the cold and hard floor.

I sit on the bed and look around me.

The room itself is not that different compared to normal rooms in my world except for some advanced devices scattered here and there.

On the wall in front of me is a full-body-size mirror. I moved closer to the mirror to see how I or how David looked.

What appeared in the mirror was a boy around 17 to 18 years old by my previous world standards. Nor too thin nor too fat from the outside but. There is a big but.

I took off my shirt and looked into the mirror.

What appeared in the mirror is the most perfect body I have seen till now including the internet models and those bodybuilders. The perfect ratio of muscles and body fat.

Only if you mark the body in a matter of development David may get full marks. This is just a piece of art. There is no comparison. For a while, I admired my new body.

The only problem is that is my new face. It is barely above average in looks with no scar or pimple on the face.

A clean face you say. If judged from the looks alone excluding the body shape David may get good marks but not a high score but at least I am not an ugly fatty.

After making sure there is no strange marking or any other stuff on my new body I wear my shirt.

I take a look at the view outside of the opened window. I closed the window and sat on the bed in a daze.

Using the new language I turned on the lights. Yup, new world new language.

Earlier they did not turn on due to me not using the right language.

After a lot of thinking I can not remember my original name or face. Some of my memories are not complete and some are not clear.

The best option is to accept the identity of David and then think about what to do in the future. 

Now I am stuck in this situation I should gather some information about the world from David's memories.

I concentrated on David's memories and tried to get some general information about this world and its system.

But soon my expression changed. The deeper I read about this world weird my expression becomes.

A scary but exciting thought came to my mind. NO first confirm it.

I opened the internet through the watch on my wrist. This is an advanced item that can work as a phone, or computer and has many other functions.

A big digital holographic touchable screen appeared in the air right above the watch.

I searched for some places and some names and the results further confirmed my doubt.

After making sure everything was genuine I came to a harsh but true conclusion.

This is not a normal world it is a novel world. This world is almost identical to the world described in the novel I once read.

I do not know if should I be happy or scared or both. In total, my mind is in chaos.

I somehow stopped my brain from going into overdrive and started to think more about my current situation and future.

The body I possess or David Adam going to attend the " Dawn Academy" as a first-year student and the thing is Dawn Academy is the main stage for the novel.

This academy is the starting and the main stage of the novel and throughout the whole novel, there is no mention of the character called David Adam.

So it means I have become an unknown mob or extra character in a fantasy world based on a novel written by someone. Did my existence even matter?

Okay, calm down. Take a deep breath and release it. Do it a couple more times.

As I calmed down I started to think about my future.

Now I have become David Adam so should I go to a place filled with danger, politics, conspiracies, and even death or should I avoid it?

If I think carefully I can survive better if I stay away from the main story and just live a normal life.

With my future knowledge, I can make tons of money and live the luxurious life I always wanted.

The more I thought about it more I got convinced that staying away from the academy is the best choice.

Suddenly I heard a strange sound in my head.

[ Ding ]

Right after this sound, some digital screen-like thing appeared in front of me.

[The host has met the conditions to unlock the system so the system is starting to load itself.]

[ system is downloading...10%.....30%....60%....]

With wide eyes, I look at the screen in front of me with happiness and dread.

This is the legendary cheat that every transmigrate wants. The ticket to reach the top.

The only legendary cheat worshipped and also feared by everyone the " SYSTEM ".

I look at the loading number with excitement. Suddenly the data on the screen started to blur.

[ Ding ]

[ there is an error in downloading…..]

[ looking for the solution...…..]

Me and my cursed mouth. I nervously look at the screen flickering with lots of 1 and 0 codes.

[ Ding ]

[ issue is resolved resuming the downloading procedure....60%...]

[ 80%....100%.....download completed.]

[ welcome host. The extra07 system is at your service.]

[ system will try its best to assist the host to complete the storyline and complete this novel. Best of luck to host for future adventures.]

As I read the system message all the excitement gets blown away in an instant. With a trembling voice, I asked the system what this was all about.

" wait a minute what do you mean by completing the story. Explain yourself." ( David)

[ Ding ]

[The host has chosen to complete the story and this is the main task of the host. So please try your best to complete the story perfectly and give it a proper ending.]

" what if I do not want to get involved with the story and live as I wanted" ( David )

[ Ding ]

[ if the host did not put any effort into completing the storyline or the system thinks the host is not getting involved with the story then the system will consider it as a failure to perform the main task.]

[ system will suck the life energy of the host and try to get a new host who can perform the main task.]

[ system hopes that the host will try his best to perform the main task and complete the story left unfinished if not host will face the consequences of his actions. Again best of luck.]

A shiver runs down my spine as I read the system messages.
