Aziel Frost

Thump...
Lucius jolted awake from his slumber only to find himself on the ground.
Yes, he had fallen from the...
Bed.
But why was he on the bed?
No, why was he even here?
Wasn't he in the black emptiness, counting for eternity?
He couldn't figure out anything until a familiar figure entered the room.
The figure had light blue hair and eyes in a shade between cyan and navy, with an outstanding height of over six feet and high cheekbones that would make a model pale in comparison.
Lucius's eyes widened in disbelief as a barrage of memory fragments clouded his mind.
The person right in front of him was none other than the protagonist of Path to Invulnerable:
Zephyr Frost.
'But why is he here?'
'Wait... does he even exist?'
All sorts of thoughts raced through Julius's mind as he scanned the figure in front of him.
Zephyr pursed his lips and said, "Aziel, what are you doing? Get ready quickly."
Then he flashed a warm smile and left the room.
Jul—Aziel—pondered for a moment.
'Why is he calling me Aziel?'
'Wait... I need to see a mirror.'
He quickly stood up and bolted towards the bathroom, which he somehow instinctively knew where to find.
Spotting the mirror, he walked toward it and positioned himself in front of it.
"Aac—"
A scream nearly escaped his mouth as his eyes widened in disbelief.
The figure in front of him...
It wasn't him.
He didn't know who he was anymore.
His hair was pure white. His eyes were a striking gray, almost intense, contrasting sharply with his hair.
He had a smooth, youthful face with high cheekbones and a well-defined jawline.
Overall, his appearance was incredibly unique, thanks to the dramatic combination of his white hair and gray eyes.
Aziel had already figured out that he had been transmigrated into the novel he was about to read.
But he couldn't figure out who he was.
It wasn't like he didn't know anything about the novel.
At the very least, he knew all the major characters and some information about one or two key events.
This could only mean one thing.
Extra.
'I am reincarnated as an extra.'
A sudden chill ran down his spine at the thought.
First, to be reincarnated in a novel he didn't like—and as an extra whose existence didn't even matter.
Ding.
A notification popped up on his smartphone, and he quickly retrieved it from his left pocket.

Connecting the dots, he figured out that Zephyr must be his sibling.
'But Zephyr didn't have a sibling in the novel, as far as I remember.'
He pondered and then quickly glanced at the time displayed in the top left corner of his smartphone.
6:40 AM.
Letting out a sigh, Aziel questioned himself.
'Why do I have to go to the academy? I have no reason to—'
'Wait... I don't have anything else to do either. I think I should go. It would be the best course of action at this moment.'
Considering going to the academy, he quickly went to his room and retrieved his uniform from the wardrobe.
It was nothing special.
A plain white shirt with the insignia of the academy on the left side of his chest, right where the heart is located.
Pitch-black trousers and a black blazer on top of the shirt.
Not to mention a blue necktie that reached past his abdomen.
Nodding in satisfaction, Aziel left his apartment, only to find Zephyr waiting for him.
He quickly descended the stairs and stood just beside him.
"Aziel, where's your hoverboard?"
'Hoverboard... Oh right, they use it to travel to the academy.'
Aziel pondered for a while, then pursed his lips.
"Oh r-right, h-hoverboard. I forgot where I kept it."
A white lie.
Cold sweat trickled down Aziel's face.
Sigh... Fine, I have a spare. Here, take it.
Zephyr quickly retrieved a white hoverboard with black outlining and intricate designs from his space ring and tossed it to Aziel.
Aziel was caught off guard but barely managed to catch it mid-air with a sluggish movement.
Upon seeing this, Zephyr leaned close to Aziel's face, frowning as he pursed his lips.
"You... seem different today?"
Beads of cold sweat began trickling down Aziel's face.
He gave a forced smile and replied.
"H-how do I seem different today?"
Zephyr scanned his face once more and then withdrew.
"Nothing. Never mind."
As Zephyr moved and placed his hoverboard just a few feet above the surface, Aziel followed and did the same.
But a sudden thought struck Aziel's mind.
He.
He didn't know how to use it.
The hoverboard...
