The Extra Is Actually A Villain

Kael Livingrail was a brilliant child growing up. He possessed above-average intelligence, excellent social skills, and a remarkable talent for art. He was what people would call a genius kid. But everything changed one fateful day when he began to see things—things that no one else could see. He saw monsters lurking in the shadows and magicians engaged in epic battles right under the noses of ordinary people. He tried telling this to others, but no one believed him, thinking he was just a child with a vivid imagination. However, as he grew up, his behavior became increasingly erratic. He was even bullied and isolated by his peers for being weird. Finally, his parents sought professional help, and Kael was diagnosed with a mental condition. He was told that all those things he had been seeing were only in his head. But Kael knew he wasn't insane! What he could see was real! …Or was it? After years and years of grueling psychotherapy sessions and medication, his mind was eventually stabilized, and he stopped suffering from hallucinations. Now, all grown up, Kael is a high school senior living a mundane and uneventful life in a boring world where nothing interesting ever happens. His childhood crush is with his best friend, his family feels distant, and his circle of friends feels fake. Life seems dull, and he feels depressed just having to wake up every single day. That was until Kael started seeing things again! He realized that magic… had indeed been real all along!
