The Extra's Return

Would you believe me if I told you that I had transmigrated to another world? A world set in medieval Europe accompanied by magic? If you don't believe me, I'll give you concrete evidence.

I raised my head to look at something that was above my head. It was clear that what was above my head was the sky, but to be clear, what I saw was the moon in the night sky.

There was evidence that the world I had been living in was not the Earth that you know, but another world.

In the middle of the night, if it was on earth, wouldn't there only be one moon that would illuminate the night, but in this world, two moons were shining.

I was standing under two moons that were emitting such a bright light. The light from the two moons had managed to completely illuminate my body.

Hanging from my waist was a real sword. I gripped the hilt of the sword tightly while looking at the situation around me.

The two moons in the sky also managed to illuminate the place around me.

Currently, I was standing in the middle of the city.

Originally, what adorned the contents of this city were large, magnificent, and luxurious buildings. So many people had passed by and laughing happily. Anyway, the reflection of a big city in medieval Europe can be described clearly. But… That's how it should be.

However, look at the state of this city now.

Ruins of buildings were scattered, houses were destroyed to the ground, and dust was scattered, bringing the stench of destruction throughout the city.

It didn't stop there, what came out of everyone's mouths was not the sound of happy laughter, instead, what filled the city were groans of pain and sounds of despair. All the sounds reverberated around the world.

Understandably, there were corpses everywhere. The bodies of everyone, from small children to adults, were scattered on the ground.

My nose can still smell the odor of blood coming out of the various scattered parts of the human body.

On average, they have been squashed by the ruins of the building to a pulp.

If this were earth, everyone could hope for help. 'Please call 911?' Maybe everyone will scream like that. But since this is another world, then that's impossible.

Being in this situation, I kept my feet steady, even though my feet were telling me to kneel down.

The cause of the tragedy that exists in this city is…

In the middle of the night sky, a demon was flying freely.

Some demons are on the ground, but most of them are in the sky.

The point was, demons had been everywhere.

They lined up neatly as they were illuminated by the moonlight. The reddish-black skin, the long horns on their heads, and the wings that spread across the sky, all of that indicated that they were truly demons.

If you had guessed that they were the ones who destroyed the city, then your guess was right. The perpetrators who destroyed this city were them, the demons.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the demons that were flying in the sky, there was also a line of humans struggling on the ground.

Squeezed by the rubble of buildings, they were still trying to maintain their lines. If they split apart, they would be easily exterminated by the demons in the sky.

However, if they stay together, they will be able to launch a powerful attack.

"Attack!! Unleash your strongest magic spells!! Kill those demons!!"

After that shout, various kinds of magic were fired by the humans, they struggled with all their might against the demons that flying in the sky.

"Forward! Attack! The heroes are with us!"

Even in desperate, tense, or hopeless situations like this, their shouts of encouragement have managed to shake the earth.

On this battlefield, the reason why their souls didn't disappear was—Among the ranks of humans, there was one person who stood out the most among other humans.

Especially the golden light magic that had been emanating from his sword, with one swing of the sword, the golden light successfully annihilated those demons, causing them to be annihilated instantly.

The golden yellow hair on top of his head adds a touch of handsomeness to him. The whitish-yellow robe he was wearing fluttered, adding to the domineering aura he exuded.

That person is Jullian Arkie, The Hero of Light.

He continued to fight against the demons in the air.

Around him, several women continuously supported him in defeating the demons.

They were the women who had become members of the Hero's Harem Party.

How did I get to know them? Of course, it was because I knew that this world was very similar to the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light, where Jullian Arkie was the protagonist of the story.

You must be familiar with the terms protagonist, antagonist, tritagonist, deuteragonist, or figurative (a character who still gets some scenes in a story).

But, you must have never heard the term extra character, right?! If you ask me who I am now, I will answer, "I am an Extra Character."

I was just an ordinary person who saw the protagonist from a distance, without being able to stand behind or beside him. Not that I had wanted to stand beside him or even help him. It's just that I wanted you to understand that I was not an important figure in this world.

In a chess game, I had been likened to a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time. That was the situation I was in.

If I could, I would have fought hard to escape the fate of being a chess piece, but the reality was always very painful.

Suddenly, one of the demons that had been flying in the sky came to me. The demon was free-falling from the sky.

For the sake of anticipating a collision, I strengthened my guard.

Ka-boom!

The shock caused by the demons' landing was extremely violent.

As a result, dust was flying around.

Because the dust flying in the air was annoying, I slightly narrowed my eyes.

After a while, the dust in the air began to thin out little by little. Slowly but surely, I opened my eyes little by little.

Finally, after the dust in the air was completely blown away, I could clearly see the outline of the demon.

Unlike the other demons that looked like monsters, the demon that suddenly appeared in front of me was shaped like a normal human. More precisely approaching the human form in general.

Some demonic physical characteristics are still left on his body, such as his goat-like horns, and the pointed tail on the back of his body.

Other than that, his other features were no different from that of an ordinary human. Even the clothes that covered his body looked very neat. Very similar to the attire of noble humans.

"Hahaha, human, I appreciate you for going this far."

"I don't need you to appreciate me."

"Ha ha ha!"

I responded to the demon's chatter briefly. However, he laughed out loud instead while covering his mouth.

Suddenly, he walked slowly toward me.

At first, he did walk slowly, but a moment later, he disappeared as if he had never existed in the first place.

In about 0.1 seconds, he surprisingly stamped his foot right in my face.

Bang!

My body fell flat on the ground. The moment my body hit the ground, the ground beneath me instantly formed a huge hole.

Kuheok!

I immediately vomited blood from my mouth. My blood flew like red paint thrown by a painter.

As I suffered under his feet, the demon laughed out loud instead.

"Ohh! That's such an interesting expression! Hey, do you want to make a bet with me? If I win, I will kill you with various torments, but if you win, I will let you go, how about it?"

After saying that, he lifted his foot away from my face.

"Cough!"

Without much thought, while coughing up a little blood, I nodded slowly while holding my throat. I had agreed to his offer.

And then, I asked him, "What bet do you want to play?"

"Okay! I like fun humans like you. Let's bet on how humans end up, shall we?"

"Oh, fine. Then, I'll bet that the human hero will exterminate humanity itself." I smiled in response.

As soon as I answered, the demon's expression immediately froze.

It was only natural for his expression to look surprised.

Logically, heroes cannot exterminate humans because the existence of heroes for humans in this world was almost the same as a divine messenger, who would save humans.

However, I had knowledge of the end of this world. I also know why Jullian did that.

It didn't take long for us to see the results of our bet.

The main event of the night had finally begun.

The hero, who had previously fought the demons on the frontline, was now seen standing in front of a line of demons without any conflict.

The natural thing was that Jullian should have swung his sword at the demon, but he didn't instead.

The other humans weren't stupid either, although some people still couldn't believe what they were seeing, they instinctively knew that the hero who was the reason for their spirit for fighting the demons had now switched sides.

After that, a scene of carnage ensued. The hero—Jullian Arkie, with a shining sword, beheaded the humans one by one. Of course, including his own Harem Party.

"Oh, since your guess is correct, I'll let you go. However, your hero probably won't let you go. So, be careful! He he he."

In the middle of the scene, the demon who was near me kept chattering. After speaking casually, the demon instantly disappeared, leaving only deafening laughter.

***

Some time just passed by.

After almost all of the humans had been exterminated, I noticed that Jullian was now approaching me.

'Is this the end of me? Died at the hands of the protagonist?'

"Hufft~"

A heavy sigh escaped from my mouth.

How can my fate be like this? Wouldn't everyone who was reincarnated in another world gain superpowers? Why am I the only one suffering without being given strength? Does it only happen in fiction? Or because… I… an extra character?

"No, I will survive!"

I convinced myself.

Then I got rid of the negative thoughts and feelings of inferiority that were in my head.

To be honest, even though I was just an extra character in this world, I still had a lot of regrets in this world.

I had several reasons why I joined this war.

The first reason I knew was that this war was an epilogue event in the novel Demon Lord and Hero of Light, where the hero would exterminate the humans. Therefore, I wanted to see this epilogue event firsthand.𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

Moreover, I had nowhere else to hide. There was no other safe place in the world. So, that was why I joined this war.

With various thoughts going through my head, I gripped the sword in my hand tightly. I prepared to defend myself against the madness of this world's protagonist.

'Will it be a duel between the protagonist against an extra character?'

With a bit of a fearless smile, I swung my sword at Jullian. However, before I could swing my sword, my vision suddenly darkened.

The last vision I saw was my standing headless body. Blood gushed from there like a fountain.

Did my head just get slashed by Jullian's blade?

If that's true, then the sword that Jullian is swinging is too fast for me. I can't even see his sword swing.

I thought it was a natural thing considering he was the Main Character while I was just an Extra Character.

Slowly but surely, the darkness that greeted me grew thicker. My consciousness was slowly fading away.

It seems that this was the end of my second life after being reincarnated in this world.
