Reborn as an Extra

(What happens to a sidekick or a villain after they get destroyed by the protagonist's plot armor? This chapter describes one such possibility, but since this possibility has been triggered by an anomaly, it can't be seen happen so often.)

(Friendly advice: Those who don't like fillers should skip this chapter. Of course, you are free to choose after all he has a good role in the current event.)

Jiang's Pov:

A few days after Jiang was Kicked out….

In a dark alleyway, in a corner, a fat young boy can be seen sitting with his head down with a look of absolute despair on it. It's as if his whole world has crashed and there's nothing left for him to live anymore.

As Jiang was mentally breaking apart from the despair, he had flashbacks of what has happened to him these past few months.

.

.

It all started one day when Jiang was on his way back to the boy's dormitory after a happy trip to the arcade, he had a stroke of very good luck that day, he won a lottery on scoring a new record in a very difficult game.

The arcade owner had himself given him the VIP card which granted him access to more games than he could have ever before, Jiang had now become literally one of the main guests of that arcade.

While he was on his way back with a smile on his face and a 'soft drink can' in his hand, minding his own business and busy in his own world, he heard a cry for help from a dark alleyway, first, he thought it was just a prank and tried to avoid but hearing the screams get louder made him a bit anxious.

He could hear sounds of shouting like:

"This trash really cries like a dog! Heh, what were you saying you are going to be an SS ranker one day!"

"This trash has the lowest ranking of them all and he still thinks he can play cool!"

"What were you saying? Ms. Raji Croft looked at trash like you at the ceremony…. Who do you even think you are…. A filthy sh*t!"

Hearing the unceasing barrage of curses and the sounds of someone being hit and crying, Jiang felt his skin crawl. He felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly had an idea in his head, he slowly walked near the alleyway and then suddenly used his fire magic to make a small explosion, which made a lot of sounds and then he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Oh no! A dungeon break is happening someone call the awakener association!" (Jiang)

As Jiang had expected all the people who were bullying the person stopped when they heard someone calling the awakener association:

"Sh*t, an outbreak had to happen at a time like this! We were just getting at the good part!"

"Let's leave this place from the backdoor, we will deal with this trash later!"

"Yeah, let's go!"

After a few minutes, all the bullies left the injured young man in that dark alleyway through the backdoor.

Jiang walked inside the dark alleyway and since it was very dark he wasn't clearly able to see the injured young man's face, but by looking at his uniform he could tell that this is a student of the same academy as him, so Jiang decided to pick the guy up carry him back to the healer's office.

As he was carrying him back he noticed that this guy was actually very light-weight, perhaps the guy was very malnourished or something and he also had many wounds all over his body.

Healer's office

The healer looked at the injured man with a frown and said:

"This guy again! Seriously how many times do I have to heal this guy, he has been coming here for the past whole month daily and today he is even more injured than every other day!"

"Hey! Are you his friend? Tell your teacher to consult this guy, he is only increasing my already huge workload and I don't even get an extra salary for wasting my energy on a careless person like him every day."

"Oh.. Okay… I will.." (Jiang)

After the healer was done healing, he left the room and now only Jiang was sitting there and waiting for the other guy to wake up.

About half an hour later the guy woke up and asked for water, Jiang helped and served him a glass of water. And then the guy introduced himself and told his whole story of how he ended up becoming a target of bullying…

(I am not going to tell it again if you have forgotten go back and read the book from chapter 1 again.)

Jiang felt a little sympathy towards this guy for some unknown reasons and decided to become friends with him.

Jiang tried to cheer him up…

"So, what do you say, brother Fade, let's go a grab something to eat together and then talk everything over!" (Jiang)

"Sure!"

That was the day when the demise of a good person called Jiang started, this also shows that good people don't always get good endings, don't go and start believing others that 'if you do well to others they would do the same' that's not always true.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Before the New Year event (CH-29 to 31):

"Brother Jiang, I am quite confused about where to take Kira on New Year's Day, do you have any experience, please help me brother!" (Fade)

"Well, I also don't have any experience in it, but from all the shows I have seen on the internet, I think going on shopping or to a café would be a good idea I think…" (Jiang)

"You think so? Then I should go on both!.... but there's one problem in it…" (Fade)

Suddenly Fade's face looked sad, so Jiang asked out of concern for his best friend:

"What happened brother? Tell me if I can help you!" (Jiang)

"Really! Thanks brother Jiang! I was thinking that I don't have enough money to take Kira on a date, but now that you have given me your word then it should be enough!" (Fade)

"Eh, that…. But I don't get that much money from my parents…" (Jiang)

"Come on brother Jiang! You can't go back on your words now! A true man never breaks his promise! I will definitely return them all back to you later!" (Fade)

"Well…i-I will help you since I have already given a promise…" (Jiang)

At that time, Jiang was too naïve to understand the meaning of the hidden smile on Fade's face and got scammed this way many times, over and over until one day his all worth ran out.

He got kicked out of the academy, his parents died from stress from debt, his siblings avoided him like a plague and he himself was suffering from a mental breakdown while sitting homeless in a dark alleyway.

Such irony, he was there to save someone from this dark alleyway of despair and anxiety, yet when he himself needs help there was no one to help him out of this despair-filled alleyway. This is the cruelty of the real world.

Back to present

When Jiang was sitting in silence and contemplating where did he go wrong in his life and why did he end up like this?

A few unknown young boys, who perhaps were some neighborhood bullies happened to enter the dark alleyway at this time, coincidentally. They saw Jiang sitting there, looked at each other slyly, and smiled as if they had found their prey.

"Heh, look at that fatty, what are you doing here!"

"Do you even have any idea that this is our secret base?"

"For coming into our secret base without our permission we must discipline you!"

As you can already assume, what followed after that was a brutal beating of Jiang till he reached a near-death state, his heart, and spirit were already shattered to pieces and despair made him go insane and lost consciousness.

After the bullies had enough they left after spitting on Jiang and even took all the leftover money or belonging Jiang had.

A strange shadow appeared in the dark corner and looked at the injured Jiang.

"Kehkeh… this human's spirit has broken and he is facing immense despair, this is the ideal host, I have been looking for. After all a person whose spirit has been broken is the easiest to possess…kehkeh…" (???)

That being flicked its monstrously long tongue and its body turned into a cloud of black smoke. The black smoke entered Jiang's body successfully without any resistance.

Suddenly the closed eyes of Jiang opened, but except they had a shrewdness residing in them now.
