Reborn as an Extra

(Lore Bombs ahead)

(Explaining a few results of various types of research done by humanity's greatest scientists on the phenomenon called 'Dungeon gate opening'. It is recommended to not skip this explanation to better understand the basic workings of this world.)

The Space-time distortion theory:

Several researchers have found that the inside space of a 'Dungeon gate' is most of the time an imitation of a particular area in the universe.

It is speculated that the area inside a dungeon gate is an imitation of what lies outside the actual world. To prove this theory true, the scientists compared many real-world and dungeon-world environments, and it was found that this theory has some weight in it.

Most of the places on today's 'Earth' have suffered from war or destruction of some kind, and it is speculated that the insides of a dungeon are generally an imitation of these catastrophic places.

Most scientists nowadays believe the gates to be a phenomenon caused by space-time distortion. Although it may sound ridiculous to an ordinary person, this theory has been proved many times with the help of awakeners all over the human empire.

This theory states 'mana' as an energy produced from the result of space-time distortion, which means if these space-time distortions cease to exist then 'mana' will disappear from this world too.

This also proves why the first SS-rankers only appeared after the opening of an SS-rank gate.

One above all theory:

Researchers who don't agree with the 'Space-time distortion theory' believe that the opening of dungeons has some kind of great being's will behind them.

They believe a great being is pulling the strings of fate for the various creatures and playing with them by unleashing monsters in their homes, just for his entertainment.

That Supreme Being is considered as the 'God' and creator of this world.

This theory may sound like a religious script written by some cultists, but no, this theory has never been proved wrong by anyone either.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Several awakeners in the long history of the human race have experienced a phenomenon called 'Enlightenment'. Whenever someone achieves 'Enlightenment' they receive the 'Favor of heaven's will' buff.

This buff in itself is a solid reason why many people speculate that there's a supreme being watching over this world. And if there is a supreme being in this world then the existence of these dungeon gates will make sense too.

Moreover, this theory can also explain the bizarre existence of mana in this world. If this theory is correct then 'mana' is nothing but a power given by that Supreme Being to entertain him, as he watches the awakeners struggle for survival.

The parallel world or multiverse theory:

A third group of scientists has proposed the theory, which states that the phenomenon of dungeon gates is nothing but a collision between this world and a parallel or different world.

This random collision between worlds may be the reason, why the monsters of different worlds could enter this one, and the dungeon gates might be a 'Bridge' connecting these two colliding worlds.

This theory has only been proposed in recent years, but most of the human population believes in this theory the most. This theory sounds more convincing to ordinary people and the awakeners.

But this theory doesn't accurately explain the existence of 'mana', so most scientists consider it as nonsense.

Hotel Devalya, Car parking area, Abandoned Basement.

After a few minutes of waiting, Liam also arrived at the place.

Liam looked at the Link and Rio and nodded his head as a greeting. Rio and Link also nodded their heads and returned the greeting.

All three of them had already recognized each other as a rival and they considered each other worthy of respect.

Liam greeted Raji and went off to stand with Link and Rio. Although Link, Rio, and Liam all were nearly equal in terms of strength, Link was unanimously considered the leader of the group.

Rio didn't care who led the group and Liam didn't want to bother talking and interact with others at all. So, Link was made the team leader without any disputes.

Eventually, Fade and Kira also arrived and the party was now ready to go.

Raji glanced at Link and gave him a small box.

"This box has hundreds of nano-cameras in it, when you enter the dungeon just scatter them in the air and I will be able to see whatever is happening inside the dungeon…" (Raji)

"This way I will be able to keep an eye out for any external interferences… so you guys can rest assured and focus your mind on this test…" (Raji)

After saying that, Raji glanced at Link and Fade with narrowed eyes and she said in a cold voice:

"After going inside you all are members of the same team, and I will be keeping an eye on you all, it's better to not cause any unnecessary trouble by creating useless disputes between the team members…" (Raji)

"Keep your personal disputes away from the professional work life, this the way of success, make sure you keep this in mind…" (Raji)

Hearing Raji's remarks, everyone nodded their head and replied in a united and loud voice:

"Understood!"

Raji nodded her head after hearing their response.

"Okay, enter the dungeon now, don't waste any more time standing here!" (Raji)

At Raji's orders, everyone entered the dungeon one by one.lightsnovel

…

Inside the Dungeon of Maya.

Just when Rio entered the dungeon he felt that the mana in the surroundings was extremely chaotic and extreme, this extreme environment can kill anyone below C-rank from severe mana deviations.

Rio immediately looked at Lia and said:

"Cover yourself and Riya with 'Spirit barrier', the mana here is too chaotic." (Rio)

[Ding! You have entered 'The Dungeon of Maya'!]

[Ding! You have entered an extremely chaotic and violent mana-contaminated zone!]

[Ding! Due to the chaotic mana, the chance of mana deviation increases tremendously…. Error…. 'True Immunity has been triggered!]

[Ding! Due to the skill 'True Immunity' you are unaffected by the chaotic mana!]

'As expected… 'True Immunity' still works beautifully as usual…' (Rio)

While Rio marveled at the awesomeness of his skills.

Others were a bit late in reacting to this chaotic mana and felt uncomfortable all over their body.

Liam immediately covered himself with Ellie's shadow field to nullify the effects of this chaotic mana on himself. Ellie is a dragon and mana is like food for dragons, so Liam was unfazed.

Link didn't even feel any changes at all, he has the 'Dragon's physique' talent, and so chaotic mana or any other mana doesn't cause him to even flinch at all.

Rio had already warned Lia, thus she immediately summoned Kai and protected herself and Riya with the 'Spirit magic'. Although Kai was annoyed by the sudden summoning, he still sat on Lia's shoulder and faithfully protected her from harm.

"Blergh!" (Fade)

Fade immediately spit a mouthful of blood the very moment he came into contact with the chaotic mana and he nearly fainted, he already had a minor mana deviation the very first moment he entered the dungeon.

Kira immediately brought out a protection artifact and shielded both of them from harm. If Fade fell unconscious, they would have to take him out of the dungeon for proper treatment, but that would mana their dungeon raid would fail.

(If anyone is confused about why this happened, then let me tell you why. Rio stole 'True Immunity' that was meant for Fade and now Fade doesn't have proper ways to shield himself from various strange phenomena.)

(Moreover, in his desire for fast progress, Fade continued to put extreme stress on his body by repeatedly increasing his rank without giving proper time to his body to adapt.)

Originally, Fade barely had the maximum potential of E-rank, but with the continuous upgrades of his maximum potential, he stressed his body and caused many loopholes and weaknesses.

In the original novel, Fade did the very same thing, even though he had 'True Immunity' at that time, his body could still feel extreme stress and the last straw was when he tried to upgrade in this dungeon, which caused him to get injure and the raid failed.

He got carried out by his harem and then had to find a treatment. Eventually, that treatment-finding arc went on and on for a thousand chapters. He found the treatment and then finally ascended to A-rank.

So, even if Fade had 'True Immunity' right now, the same thing would still happen later from his own mistakes, this is the miserable life of a protagonist….

During the time, when Fade was looking for a way to heal his hidden injuries, he was mocked by others and wasn't able to advance further…. Yeah, the classic troupe of being bullied and then rising from the bottom to the top like a rocket and beating everyone in one fell swoop.

…

While Kira tried to stabilize Fade's condition with a healing potion, everyone else glanced at Fade with a look of annoyance and disgust.

Even Raji, who was looking at all this from the cameras that Link scattered earlier, was utterly disappointed. She shook her head in annoyance after looking at Fade wasting the time of everyone.

'Sigh~ the protagonist is always such an attention seeker… to get attention the protagonist can even go as far as injuring themselves too… sigh~' (Rio)
