Reincarnated In a Novel As a Pathetic Side Character

When Shion, a young man grappling with life-threatening illness, stumbles upon the web novel "The Rise of the Crazy One," he becomes fascinated by the story's plot. However, it is the character Zephyr who captures Shion's empathy. Born with a weak body in a family of magicians, Zephyr endures heartbreak and abandonment. Maybe, Shion could resonate with Zephyr, that's why he felt bad for him? After expressing his sympathy in a review. [4.5 Stars Thank you author for this wonderful story. At first, I thought it would be like those cliche stories but I was wrong, just reading the first 10 chapters made me so hooked. But I have a question author. Do you have a grudge against Zephyr? Why do you make him so pitiful? I really...really feel bad for him...] I posted my review. After a week of reading the novel, I was finally able to complete it. "Sigh~ it was quite good I guess? Though the author should not have done so bad for Zehpyr." Beep! It was a reply from the author of "The Rise of the Crazy One." My heart skipped a beat as I read the message: [God Of Fate (Author) replied: Do you want to change Zephyr's fate?]

"Woow....!" I subconsciously shouted. "...wtf!"

As I looked around the changes, I could not help but be amazed by the changes.

The trait "Observer" had undergone an upgrade, now classified as an S Rank trait. The abilities it provided were beyond anything I could have imagined.

Even though only skill was added, it was more than powerful.

I could now activate the trait to see in slow motion for ten seconds, a skill that could be incredibly useful in combat or other critical situations.

However, the skill was limited to a use per week. Although, I was disappointed but still if I use it carefully, I could at least save my life.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Elisha asked, concerned by my sudden outburst.

I blinked and turned to her, offering a sheepish smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. I am just feeling a lot better after beating Ron."

Elisha seemed relieved by my response, but she still looked worried. "You really scared me there, young master. I was so afraid that Ron would seriously hurt you."

"I know, Elisha, and I'm sorry for making you worry. But don't worry, I'm tougher than I look," I reassured her.

"Indeed, you are," she said, a small smile appearing on her face.

With a relieved expression, she continued. "I don't know why but I feel something has changed about you, Young Master."

"Something....Changed?"

"Your eyes... Your eyes are not the same as they were before."

"How so..?" I was a little surprised but then again Zephyr has never acted like this.

She shrugged slightly, a small smile playing at the corners of her lips.

"I can't explain it, Young Master. It's just a feeling I have, an intuition perhaps. But it's as if I can see a spark in your eyes that wasn't there before. A spark of certainty and determination."

"Your eyes seem... more confident, it's....as if you're seeing far into the future."

Honestly, I was surprised, how could she tell so accurately?

Seeing my expression, Elisha chuckled softly. "I don't mean it literally, Young Master. It's just that your gaze holds a newfound sense of purpose. It's as if you have found a path you want to follow, and you're willing to face whatever challenges come your way."

Well, what she said wasn't false. From the moment I was here, my one and only goal was to survive and live a better life.

I wasn't prepared to face the same fate as in my past life. I wanted to live this life peacefully and for that, I have to become strong.

After a few minutes, Elisha left for work after ensuring I didn't get injured or hurt anywhere.

Now that, I was alone I opened the system to check how many fate coins I had accumulated after the hard work.

Number of Fate Coins: 17

Fate Draw

"Wow! I have accumulated quite a lot of fate coins. Let's see what skill I get." I was excited about the skill I will get next.

I moved my hand towards the draw.

The moment I selected the option, a mystical glow enveloped the screen, and the Fate Draw began.

The images flickered before my eyes, revealing various symbols and potential rewards. My heart pounded with anticipation as I wondered what fate had in store for me this time.

Finally, the images settled, and the reward was revealed:

[Fate Draw Result]

[Better luck next time]

"huh...? Ok, ok, it happens sometimes." I was disappointed after getting nothing but I assured myself.

I used the draw again.

[Fate Draw Result]

[Better luck next time]

...

"Why?!! Why?!! do you have a grudge against me?"

After using the draw ten times, the only thing I got was this disappointing and frustrating [Better luck next time] message.

...And yeah, if the message wasn't enough frustrating, I had a God who was laughing her ass off on me.

I couldn't help but mutter under my breath, "Of course, I must be the incarnation of bad luck."

Just as I was about to draw again, the God of Fate stopped me.

"Hmm..."

Curious about the God of Fate's message, I decided to follow her advice and check the system as she suggested.

With a sense of anticipation, I opened the system interface once more to see if there was something I had missed.
