Not-So an Extra
Suddenly being thrown into the novel's world and possessing a pretty much fucked up character made him have no choice but to continue his life as a new identity. And just like any sane person who transmigrated into a book, of course, he would destroy every red flag that stood in his way. Yet, unbeknownst to him, every single thing he did was just wrecking the storyline more and even more; to the point that the plot had become utterly screwed, thanks to him. ===== A/N: This novel is heavily inspired by many famous video games.
Ch. 87: Treasure Hunt [5]
"There's something written here."
The group's attention turned to the white-haired boy standing on top of the altar.
"What does it say?"
Sylvina asked, and Adrian read it aloud.
"[I am not alive, but I grow; I don't have lungs, but I need air; I don't have a mouth, but I must always be fed. What am I?]"
After a brief silence, Adrian continued.
"[Put your answer on the cauldron.]"
The group below assumed thoughtful poses, reciting the riddle in their heads, trying to find the answer.
Adrian couldn't help but scoff wryly.
'Ha. It was nothing but a child's riddle.'
Ignoring them, Adrian flicked his hand and lit the cauldron in front of him.
Before long, the ground began to shake violently, causing the group to panic.
"W-what is happening?"
As he sensed that something was amiss, Adrian swiftly leaped backward, descending from the altar.
