The Unrecorded Extra
Before I woke up, I had a dream about the end of the world. At first, it felt like a vivid nightmare that left me shaken. But as I slowly woke up, I realized that the dream was the pre-ending scene of my own novel. I am Zio Varrez, an unnamed character in my own book, and to my disappointment, an extra. As I lived in my novel's world, I couldn't help but feel that my existence was meaningless. But what made it worse was the fact that the ending of my book was the end of the world - a bad ending. I knew I had to do something to become strong enough to change the world's fate, even if it meant altering the story I once knew completely. Little did I know, there was more to this world than I realized, and the journey I was about to embark on would uncover secrets that I never even imagined. "I thought I knew everything about the world, but as I lived and experienced it, I realized there was so much more to it than I ever imagined." === Daily update! === Author note: The story is going on rather slow pace, expect the boredom for the early 60 chapters

"You are not supposed to say something like that."
Ember closed the book she was currently reading. Her attention was fully on me now.
"People may think of you as part of them."
I leaned forward, putting my chin on the back of my hands.
"Who?" I said.
"People."
"Who are people, exactly?"
"Students. Professors. Instructor. Everyone."
"But, I don't think there will be anyone who would think of me like that. They're not even present right now, how would they know?" I smirked.
"It's not about whether or not they are present, it's about the potential impact of your words on others. You never know who might be listening or how your words might be interpreted."
Ember's eyes were fixed on me, waiting for a response.
'...this is the first time she ever spoke for that long.'
I never thought she would respond to me like that. I thought that she would be more elusive and only say a few words as usual.
