After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents and little sister, Leo, just 17 years old, found himself shouldering all responsibilities alone. By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy. One day, while engrossed in the book 'Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End,' his life took an unexpected turn. Halfway through the story, he inexplicably found himself transmigrated into the world of Path of Heroes, inhabiting the body of Azriel Crimson—a character never mentioned in the story's first half. An extra. Someone seemingly irrelevant to the plot. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—fate had other plans, and Leo soon discovered that being a mere extra was not his destiny after all. -------------------------------------- Character illustrations will be available on Discord.

Chapter 1Prologue

A boy, no older than sixteen, with tousled brown hair and piercing green eyes shadowed by dark circles, sat cross-legged on the cold, concrete floor in front of three tombstones within the confines of an graveyard.

His features were not strikingly handsome, but there was an undeniable charm that set him apart from the average boy.

The warm, golden sunlight caressed his skin, offering a comforting contrast to the hard surface beneath him.

The serene melody of birds chirping filled the air, adding a sense of peace.

A bouquet of flowers was placed in front of each tombstone.

---------------------

Jeanne Karumi

Best mother, perfect daughter, and a kind human

---------------------

Ronald Karumi 

Best father, troublesome son, and a kind human

---------------------

Lia Karumi

Perfect daughter and cutest little sister

---------------------

Leo smiled softly as he read what was written on the tombstones in front of him.

The tombstones had a simple design as he didn't have the money nor any other relatives who could help out.

His grandparents had unfortunately passed away last year.

Every day, he came here after school to spend some time with his only family...

If only that driver wasn't drunk.

If only he had persuaded them to stay home with him instead of going to a restaurant.

Perhaps if he went with them, the outcome would have been different...

Shaking his thoughts away, he stood up, being done telling them how his day went.

"...I will see you guys tomorrow again," Leo said as he started to walk away, ignoring the annoying sympathetic gazes directed towards him from other visitors.

Seeing a young teenage boy visiting the graveyard can lead to a lot of speculation after all.

"I am too tired today for work... I will just call in sick later today," Leo muttered to himself, not in the mood to work.

He was sure it would be fine since he never took a break, and the manager of the supermarket he worked for was a kind old man who felt sorry for him.

Opening his phone, he contacted his friend Nathan.

Leo: Skipping work today. Want to hang out?

Nathan: Sorry, got a basketball match today!

Nathan: Let's hang out tomorrow after school.

Leo: Sure, no worries. Good luck with your match.

Nathan: Thanks!

A sigh left his lips as he closed his phone.

"Well, I guess I can just read today instead," he said to himself, starting to walk towards his home.

It only took 20 minutes for him to walk home since it was close to the graveyard.

The apartment he lived in was quite decent in size and price, bought by his parents, where he lived with them.

"I am home..."

He said, opening the door and entering his home.

He had become used to hearing no response whenever he came back.

'Some habits never change, I guess...'

As he thought this, he closed the door and removed his shoes before going to sit on the couch.

A book was placed there that he had been reading before he had to leave for school earlier that morning.

"Great, I had to stop at the most exciting part this morning," Leo said as he picked up the book titled Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End on the front cover, showing a single boy holding a sword with both hands.

******

"Haa..."

Breathing out loud, he closed the book after reading for the past three hours.

The sun was already starting to set.

Standing up, he went to get a glass of water.

"Really, to think someone like him would die when the story is barely halfway done."

It had been a while since he had read something so fun and exciting.

It felt like he was actually part of the story and living the protagonist's life.

Though if he had a single complaint, it was that the protagonist had a harem.

He wasn't a big fan of harems, but other than that, everything was just perfect.

He couldn't wait to read the rest of the story as he hurriedly filled his glass with water.

But the moment he was about to take a sip, the glass fell from his hand, shattering on the ground with water spilling as well.

"Argh! Shit, what the hell!"

Leo held his head as he suddenly felt extremely lightheaded.

His eyes became blurry, making it difficult to see.

"What is happening, damn it? Am I dying?"

Gripping the counter tightly, he tried to stabilize himself.

"Haa...haa..."

His breathing became short and labored.

'Am I getting a heart attack? At this age!?'

Gripping his chest as he felt his heart thumping loudly, he tried to walk towards the couch where his phone was.

'I need to call an ambulance!'

The moment he tried to take another step forward, the book he left on the couch started to emit a blinding light throughout the entire apartment.

He had to tightly close his eyes as the light was blinding him, forcing him to use his hand to cover his eyes.

"What is happening now! Am I becoming delusional as well!?"

Trying to calm himself down from all the things happening, he tried to walk to the couch again.

Yet,

The moment he stepped forward again, his foot slipped because of the water on the ground, making him fall on the broken shards.

"Argh!"

He cried out in pain as he felt broken glass pieces digging into his back.

He felt the energy leaving his body, making it extremely difficult to stand up again.

Leo couldn't see the blinding light anymore; instead, all he saw was darkness with stars surrounding him everywhere.

'I must have hit my head hard...'

He could breathe easier again, and his heart had calmed down, but now his entire body was in pain.

He groaned as he did his best to push himself back up instead of laying on the ground.

His body was aching so much, yet he endured and finally managed to stand up again.

Feeling the wind caressing his cheeks and the rustling sound of leaves, he calmed down a little.

'I am not dead yet...'

'Wait...'

Finding it strange to hear the sound of wind and leaves, he opened his eyes, which had been closed the entire time.

When he finally opened them, instead of finding himself back in his apartment, he was on an old, broken street.

Looking around, he saw broken buildings, some tilting sideways, others only half-standing.

Debris was scattered everywhere, remnants of the old houses and buildings.

Tree branches and other plants covered many of the buildings, intertwining with the ruins.

It felt no different than being inside an abandoned city that hadn't been lived in for ages.

"Huh?"

No Netori. I plan to write something where the MC's harem aren't just brainless meat sacks, but actually impact the story and the MC. Read the book, you'll love it!

Check out my other book as well Lunar:Secret Guardians ******************* "Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting. My world building is not the best, but it gets better over time, so bear with me on the early chapters! P.S: Cover art not mine I just edited it. If you're the owner and want me to take it down you can notify me. Other novel: Lunar:Secret Guardians Check it out as well! Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gs68a4ZzaN

The resplendent narrative titled "Path of the Extra" by Crypthh, unfurls a magnum opus that ventures into the territory of family and loss with unparalleled finesse and masterful storytelling. This digital tome is a veritable work woven with threads of profound philosophy, brilliant prose and a narrative flexibility that defies the conventional confines of contemporary literature. The story follows a protagonist, orphaned in one life, prince in another, as he embarks on a peregrination of improvement and self-discovery that is no different from what we see in mythologies and legends of old. Like other works of the genre, the narrative explores the protagonist's life as an 'extra', a metaphysical representation of the human nature pertaining to the character's lack of presence in the stage of life. Each and every word of this magisterial work is inculcated with vocabulary and verbiage that is both grandiloquent and mellifluous. The author manages to encapsulate the readers by delineating the odyssey portrayed in the novel with a lexical panache that is as invigorating as it is erudite. The author’s unparalleled ability to conjure vivid imagery and evoke profound emotional resonance is reminiscent of the literary titans of yore. Each character, regardless of the importance they pose to the plot, is meticulously etched with their own inner turmoils and nigh-tangible verisimilitude. My serendipitous encounter with this novel has been a scintillating experience that has brought joy to my once bleak life. POTE, is without a doubt, a tour de force that is destined to ascend to the pantheon of literary immortality. This is not merely a novel; it is an intellectual sojourn, an ethereal voyage that will leave an indelible imprint upon the reader’s psyche. In summation, Crypthh has bestowed upon the literary world a quintessential masterpiece, a story like no other, a masterpiece that will etch itself onto the ever-flowing river of history and will undoubtedly be revered by cognoscenti and literati alike. No novel can compare to this work veritable symphony of words that exalts the sublime potential of the written word.

Review at the end of volume 1 My first thought after reading this book is “Flawed Masterpiece” This book has the most generic beginning. Mc loses family, get transmigrated to a fantasy world. But what really puts this book ahead of almost any book on this novel is the professionalism in the writing. This way the scenes are set up, how the characters interact, how monologues are provided and how cohesive the story is. It’s all premium. No one would bat an eye if this was a properly published light novel. There is no denying it the writer has talent. Even though the plot is generic the story itself has complex points, and goes away from cliches like plot armor, system and hero complex mc. I was pleasantly surprised on how fluid it felt. But, at the same time I feel this book not taking advantage of the web novels formats freedoms. The book feels too condensed, similar to a light novel every arc has to lead to another major arc. Which leads to mc personality development and leaves readers with solutions to previous mysteries and new questions. Which all feels accelerated as that is the format of writing a book. But webnovel allows you take a more slow approach, where you can build the world better with time to breath for the mc and the readers. For example, concepts like academy are just used for bringing the main cast together so that they could go to the next event in the story. The classes feel superficial and the rest of the school students might aswell be dolls. I know people will say it has been only 2 weeks in the story but for me the academy has already lost its shine. Another example would be the logic of this magic, the book just says mana Core==magic powers and skills. This is a typical l.novel structure where things are just stated to be true. Another would be just shrugging of questions like : how did the mc survive 2 years in the void realm?every single person on this would just believed it, cause a kid says so? What if he was kidnapped and brainwashed and lied. No one in this world thought that? Maybe dig in and ask the mc the secrets of the void. But no we will ignore this cause who cares. Again I am not being critical just for sticking out. I have to give high praises to this book for the high quality and professional content it provides. But I am just saying the book can take advantage of the web novel format. It allows authors to really refine their craft and build the world. Compared to a light novel format where you go from one story event to the next. With little time to breath.
