The Extra's Dominance

"Hwaaaa...!"

After regaining my consciousness, I found myself lying on the cold and mossy stone floor.

I'm still in the same place when I passed out.

I supported my body and stood up.

"What the fuck happened?"

Then I mumbled, holding my head amd massaging my temple as there's still some lingering pain I'm feeling.

"Argh! Shit."

I cursed, remembering why I'm feeling the pain.

"How long am I out?"

I asked.

[For about 5 hours.]

And the system replied immediately.

'So it's about <3:00 P.M> now, I have to meet with Clifford in 2 hours.'

I calculated as I have some plans after this. Though, I unexpectedly wasted a lot of time in here because of that something weird phenomenon.

"Hey system, what was that for?"

I grumbled. I'm talking about the phenomenon.

[As you were told before, the Higher Being used your work as this universe's center.]

I nodded my head the system's words, then it continued.

[So they decided to change and add things up to make the story more interesting.]

"But they're adding too much!"

I angrily exclaimed.

[It's pretty obvious if you think about it carefully, your novel have sometimes vague details, like about; materials, monsters, dungeons, etc.]

Then the system replied in a calm manner.

[You just wrote details about what the main characters encountered in your novel, for example, you said in your novel that there are thousands of types of monsters, but you just wrote about 50 of them in the story, so the Higher Being would naturally create things to fill void informations like that, resulting to you encountering things you don't know.]

The system explained.

Though I want to be angry at them again, what they said is right. I really did that.

"Okay, I understand."

So I just calmed myself to avoid wasting energy and time.

"So is there some kind of effect that happened because of the phenomenon earlier?"

I asked the system, it's pretty predictable in novels that when this kind of shit happened, there's something will happen to your body as well

And it seems like the Higher Being is adding cliche novel situations to fix the void informations.

Though I know that, I didn't raised my expectation that much as I don't want to be dissapointed.

'In the first place, the first scenario of the story isn't happening yet, so getting something good in this time is kinda impossible.'

I thought and shrugged.

[Yes, look at your stat.]

When the system answered.

I casually waved my hand and opened my mouth.

"Status."

And then a familiar transparent window entered my sight.

"!"

My eyes widened again in shock as I saw the skill <Mana Path Preset> written in my status window.

"What the actual fuck..."

I weakly mumbled and rubbed my eyes, then I looked at my status again.

I closed and opened my status window repeatedly to see if it's some kind of bug.

But seeing that it didn't disappear, only means that I reall do have that skill. Also, my skill <Psychokinesis> leveled up.

"Haha..."

A weak laugh leaked out from my mouth.

"What the fuck is with this trait."

I muttered to myself while looking at my trait /'<???>' with a complicated face.

It's a trait that I don't have a single idea about.

"Is this the doing of the Higher Being?"

I asked in the air, but nevertheless, I received a reply from the system.

[They said that they just gave you a chance, but you claimed it through luck and skill.]

"What the fuck does that mean?"

I asked again with a frown.

[I don't fucking know, they won't tell me the details.]

The system answered back.

I frowned deeper and racked my brain.

After some minutes, I let out a sigh.

"Haaa..."

"I don't know what the hell is going on but I'll take the skill for granted and just ask about this trait to Levina, maybe she knows something."

This is the plan I came up with. I remember Levina saying something about 'Divinity', I don't know what that is, the smae with my trait '<???>', so maybe they're connected to each other.

Looking at the skeleton lying on the floor, I clicked my tongue and dug a hole in the room.

After that, I buried the skeleton and offered a short prayer.

Though, I didn't mention a single god's name or eved did a sign, it's because I don't believe in a certain god. I believe that they exist but I have no way of knowing who they are.

"I don't know what and who you are, but thanks for the skill, I guess?"

I awkwardly said as I'm looking at where the skeleton is buried.

"Ill use everything that I got from you in a lot better things, don't worry."

After that, I turned around and started to walk out of the room.

"This is fucking cringe, I'm leaving."

I mumbled as I leave.

"I'll come back if I have a reason to."

I said and then completely left the room.

***

2 hours later, <5:00 P.M>

Raven is in a restaurant with some few people and he is in a private room alone.

He is waiting for Clifford.

After leaving the Red Wolves' Mountain, Raven immediately went to where him and Clifford is suppose to meet.

"This place is nice, no wonder Clifford recommended to meet here."

Raven mumbled as he looks around.

It's a restaurant with a forest theme design, clean brown bark designed walls with green scented leaves all over the wall dangling, making it more natural and beautiful inside.

The table is also made from smoothed three and the seats are soft as fuck, making Raven sleepy.

The design theme is so calming and natural that Raven wouldn't be surprise if the owner of the restaurant is an elf.

Though Raven think of that that, he immediately lost interest about the restaurant afterward. Raven didn't order anything as he doesn't want to eat foods other people made as much as possible.

The only reason he is not being kicked out from the place is due to the fact that he have a reservation with Clifford.

Then when Raven is really starting to get bored that he is considering to use <Psychokinesis> to scare other people eating outside his room.

The door opened and Clifford entered.

"Did you wait long?"

Clifford asked and sat opposite Raven.

"Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna die out of boredom."

Raven blantly replied.

"You're honest."

"It's the best policy."

"Did you order food?"

"Nah, I wouldn't know if they wash their hands or not before making those foods."

Raven said with a hint of disgust in his face.

"You're too honest."

Clifford said shaking his head.

"I don't want to lie, I'm honest as much as possible."

Raven answered back.

"Nevermind that, let's talk about business."

Raven then added and shifted the topic.

"We're both busy so let's finish this quickly."

Clifford smiled and nodded his head.

"You're right."

Raven and Clifford talked about businesses that Raven is planning to do. Clifford listened to Raven's plans and as he continued to listen, he couldn't help but admire Raven's way of thinking.

After about an hour, they finished talking.

"So I'll invest 100 Million Zeals?"

Clifford casually asked, like they're only talking about a small amount of money.

"Yeah, that's the minimum amount you need to invest so the others will think that you're taking my business seriously. And with that amount, their curiosity will be aroused resulting to them investing too or buying the products."

Raven explained.

100 Million Zeals is not something a 17 years old like Raven can manage.

But nevertheless, Raven is talking confidently about making that amount of money, 10 times larger in a few years.

Raven's attitude made Clifford trust him more about the money he's about to invest to him.

"You're good at business huh."

Clifford said to Raven.

Raven smiled.

'Nah, it's the system teaching me, also I know what will happen in the future, including about businesses.'

He thought and opened his mouth. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"Yeah, I'm good at business."

Raven doesn't want anything troublesome so he just say things that will make him explain less.

"Anyway, is that all what we're gonna be talking about?"

Clifford asked.

This time, Raven's face became serious and shook his head.

"There's something you need to know."

Raven said in a rather serious tone.

Sensing Raven's mood, Clifford became serious too.

"What is it?"

He asked.

Raven smiled and whispered weakly that only Clifford can hear even though they're in a private room.

"Do you know anything about the [The Followers of the 3 Goddesses] in the Lunar Academy?"

Then Raven's smiled twisted into a mischievous one.
