The Extra's Transcension

For as long as he could remember, life had always been cruel. A young man in his early twenties—his name now lost to the past—was dealt a life filled with misfortunes. A cold, empty apartment, a soul-crushing job, and, finally, a terminal diagnosis. With nothing left to live for, his only comfort had been escaping into the fictional world of Path of the Elemental Sage, a story of heroes, magic, and survival. But fate had other plans. When death finally came for him, he didn’t fade into nothingness. Instead, he awoke in the world he had only read about—a world of chaos and danger where death lurked around every corner. The air smelled of magic, the sky was filled with possibilities. {«[Status Window]»} [Name: Lyrium Blackwood] [Age: 16] [Rank: D-] [Skills: None] [Elements: None} At first, confusion filled his mind. Who was Lyrium Blackwood? Why was he here? And why did this body feel so different? But as his memories returned, so did the realization: this wasn’t some blessing or second chance. He wasn’t reincarnated as the protagonist. No destined savior. No cheat abilities. No grand fate. He was just another mob, a face in the crowd meant to exist and die without leaving a mark. But this young man—the one who had left his old name and life behind—wasn’t the kind of person to roll over and accept his fate. “This world is dangerous. The protagonist isn’t the only one fighting for survival here,” he muttered, his blue eyes cold and sharp. Unlike the naïve characters in the story, he knew the stakes. He’d read the web novel. He’d seen the carnage, the betrayals, the disasters that wiped out entire cities. And if there was one thing he refused to be, it was a pawn in someone else’s game. “I don’t care about glory. I don’t care about saving the world. All I care about is surviving—no matter what it takes.” Lyrium Blackwood wasn’t planning to live quietly or avoid danger. The only way to survive in this brutal world was to rise to the top. To be strong enough to stand above both heroes and villains. Using his knowledge of the story’s events and his iron will, Lyrium sets out on a relentless path to surpass the protagonist. Whether through clever manipulation, brutal training, or sheer desperation, he’ll climb higher and higher, leaving nothing to chance. But the deeper he gets, the more he realizes that this isn’t just the story he once read. As fate pushes him closer to the heart of the narrative, Lyrium begins to suspect that his reincarnation wasn’t an accident—and the world itself might be watching him. “I don’t care who or what stands in my way. If the story wants to kill me, I’ll rewrite the ending myself.” ---------------------------------- I apologize for any mistakes in this story, as it’s my first attempt at writing a novel. ---------------------------------- Chapter Update Schedule: (5/7) ---------------------------------- As the story has been vetted, readers can support me with Power Stones: PS – Power Stone 100 PS = 1 Extra Chapter 200 PS = 2 Extra Chapters 300 PS = 3 Extra Chapters ---------------------------------- Special thanks to @fallen_angel_26 for the amazing novel cover art, which I modified by changing only the hair color. :) ---------------------------------- Join the discord server to discuss about the novel with other readers and Author.

Two Heavens Art (3)

In an Normal and average room, there stood two figures. One was a male with short Red spikey hair that was swaying snd covering his green pearl left eye that was sharp, as he stood in front of the holographic television,

He muttered some words as he stared at something blankly

"System"

Upon muttering those words, a purple transparent window appeared in front oh him making an opening sound,

'Fwang'

'Hmm.....only 1 point is left for me to breakthrough to for charm rank. But i am still so confused, why is there a charm rank in ths system. Does it have to do with my handsomeness?"

Silas stared at the floating window front of him as he make a concerning look on his face, massaging his chin with his hand,

Just then,

The lady beside him waves her both hands in front of him in a confused expression

'Hello....., are you there, are you listening? You started to doze off again.."

Snapping out of his thoughts was the voice of a familiar girl who just stated at him.

Meeting his gaze was a cute lady almost in her 17 with a long pale Gray hair, eyes like a crimson moon, wearing a casual dress.

"Are you okay? you started to stared at the floor again"

"Ahh...Lily, its nothing....its just, i am nervous about the academy since it is going to start in five days." Silas said as he smile wryly and scratching the back of his head.

Lily stared at giving him a warm snd radient smile as she said,

"fuu.....Its common for everyone you know, i am also quite nervous right now, still don't worry..."

Hearing those words, Silas chuckled as he rubbed her hair from atop.

"Yeah Lily, thank you"

Lily upon noticing the hand in her hair pushed it away snd puffed her cheeks angrily snd said,

"I already said not to touch my hair and also, you dont have to be so nervous since you have that secret skill that can make you stronger everytime right? You're probably going to be the 1st rank in the first year"

Silas probably told her about the system but not in detail and also, he probably lied the important parts to her like how it works and all since she only know about the grouth part.

Silas after thinking for some seconds just shrugged it off snd muttered some words inwardly without Lily noticing.

"System Close"

'Fwang!'

"Yeah...." Silas immediately replied to her,

"I guess so...."

* * *

'Bam!'

Lyrium's body crash at the wall of the cave slamming hin body with the wooden sword on his hand. He leave a crater behind him, in the wall.

Lyrium as he clench the sword tightly muttered to himself,

"Damn, how the fuck js a grim reaper roaming around freely here with his pawns.."

Ignoring the pain on his back after being hit directly on the wall. Lyrium stood up on his feet as he stared at the shadows who were rushing towards his place while the grim reapor extended its hand as a command of saying to charged.

"Okay, there wasn't s single thing on how to defeat a grim reaper. I mean, how can i defeat the death itself ?!"

There wasn't anything he can do at the moment as he just stared at the shadows that were charging at him at a greater paced.

'No, there should be something. There is nothing impossible, and most importantly, i don't want to waste this opportunity. This 2nd chance in life."

Nobody believes in miracles, but why? they dont believe in it because they didn't encounter any miracles happening in their life, but for Lyrium. He already encounter a miracle.

Just then,

'Whoosh!'

The wooden sword on Lyrium's hand started to emit a white glow completely destroying the shadows leaving only the grim reaper alone on the opposite side.

Then,

[The holy sword of heaven wants to bind its soul with you. The chance rate of surviving is 20%. Would you like to accept]

[Y/N]

{Yes/No}

A golden floating screen pooped up in front of Lyrium's eyes while the sword was still floating in front of his body.

"The shit is this now...?The holy sword of heaven?!"

"wait!"

"The holy Sword of heaven?!!"

"I can't accept it...!"

Lyrium was already aware of his situation.

Binding with the holy sword with his soul means directly inheriting the three sword arts even the original. Which infact will cause s mess with the future and entire plotline.

His planned was to take only the two replica version of the sword art and leaving the original for the protagonist in the future,

But if he were to also tske the original art, the development and growth of the protagonist will affect, the host of this world affecting means the world will also affect likely very much.

Also, the surviving rate ot him after binding his soul with the holy sword was only 20%.

"Also, if i use the Ruler's Loathing righ now then maybe i can defeat that guy but there is no guarantee since, that skill only becomes stronger when the user has enough experience also there is the after effect. I don't know how many days will i sleep after using it. Last time, i waste 7 days in Black market."

He wasn't really worried about the pain of the mana fluctuation. He was worried about he recovery of his body which will atleast take 7 days like the last time in Black Market.

Time was really precious, he can't just waste his time sleeping and recovering when others and the main leads surpasses him.

Then, the grim reaper with his scythe on his hand charged at Lyrium at even a greater paced then the shadows trying to slash Lyrium's neck.

It was a do or die situation, he doesn't have any other way.

'Its now or never..'

"Fuck thd plotline!! Yesssss...!" He yelled angrily as he accepted the binding contract.

The tip of the scythe was only an inch away from his neck when a white glow started to emit from his body snd the wooden sword on the air making the whole place completely glow with its light for some seconds.

The grim reaper back off a few meters away from Lyrium,

Then, among the radiants of the light, a small voice came out.

"2nd Technique...Hasso Hidari."

In a blink of second Lyrium's body dashed out from the glow directly slashing the neck of the grim reaper as he stood on the other side, behind the Grin reaper.

Then.....Seconds passes, nobody moves, even the grim reaper.

The Grim reaper didn't show any movement as it just stood there holding the scythe on his left hand.

Lyrium on the other side can be seen expressionlessly standing with two swords on his both hands.

The one on the left look like an old wodden sword was now glowing with golden particles as it turn into s long katana.

And the giant sword who he took buy from the black market was now glowing with pure darkness, resting on his hand.

It was either evil nor good. It was as if the heaven and hell combines together. It was the combination of both good snd evil. The both swords were magnificent glowing on his hands.

The grim reaper who was standing motionless a seconds ago show some signs as the sound of the scythe falling on the ground can be heard.

'Klank'

And after some seconds, the figure of the grim reaper started to disintegrate into purple cracks before completely disappearing into nothingness with the scythe on the ground.

'Thud'

Lyrium fall on his knees with both the swords on the ground.

"Haa....haa...huff...huaa....."

Lyrium in his knees on the ground breath heavily as he stared at the place where once the desth itself stood.

"I-I fucking deafeated it..."

He was tok exhausted to even talk as he just stared st the ground blankly....not blankly..

{= = =[Holy Window]= = =}

⟩Congratulations, you have defeated the clone of the Grim reaper 'Axzlor'

It was as he expected, the Grim reaper who just defeated by messing with whole plotline was just a mere clone of the original.

The Original Grim reaper was an inmortal entity who guard the underworld.

But,

"A....holy window by the heavens, it meanss..."

"Shit!!An advance version of the system of the protagonist!!"

When the protagonist achieved the two heavens sword art. His system synchronise into a better version which indeed was the holy system of the heavens.

"Hmm...."

= = [Holy Window] = =

Set a word to called out the Holy system

[...]

= =

"Now, what in the dogshit is this..?!"

Lyrium barely able to stand up stared st the floating window.

"A commond voice to call out the system?" Lyrium places his finger on his chinned as he thought,

'Like, the command voice to call out the Shadow armies?!'

"Like that, Arise or something?"

= = [Holy window] = =

The word [Arise.....] has been set ss the word to call out the system]

Lyrium stared at the system as he make an expressionless and poker face and extended his hands towards the screen as he tried to punch it which instead passes through it instead.

"Damn it system....I'll get copyright strike for ussing that word, shit...." He exclaimed

Although he was yelling at the system. The word was rather cool in its own way and just accept his defeat. Then he muttered the words after exhaling.

'Fuuu....'

"Arise...."

* * *

Arise....hehe....^ ^
