The Author is an Extra, The MC is a Reincarnator

[Awakener Prison]

Inside the prison made for Awakeners below C-Rank, the man caught by the police for making a mess in the Supermarket was looking at the moon through the small window.

The prison was special. The bar, the walls, and even the toilet were made from materials that couldn't be destroyed easily.

"They died, huh?" He muttered as if he knew something that he shouldn't have. "Well, that's to be expected from humans. Kukukuku."

His face contorted into something ugly as he let out a sickening laugh. His skin turned purple, and a small horn jutted out from his head. His body turned muscular as his clothes were ripped off, showing his bare body.

He was something humanity would call a Demon, the one who spread terror under the Demon King's name.

"I guess I should leave. To think that they would be caught this fast. I intended to spread the Fake Artifacts more, but… How useless." He clenched his fist and punched the wall in front of him.

Boom!

When his fist collided with the wall, it exploded, instantly pulverizing it. Shortly after, the alarm of the jail blared uncontrollably, but the Demon didn't seem to mind it as he leaned forward a little.

"Urrgh!!" He grunted a little as his back moved strangely. Next, a pair of purple wings emerged from his back and he flapped them a few times, seemingly satisfied, "Good."

The prison warden who heard the explosion ran toward the cell, shouting.

"What happened!"

However, when he arrived in front of the Demon's cell, he stopped moving, and cold sweat poured down his body.

"A-A a-…" His mouth flapped around as his words were stuck in his throat. His hand pointed at the Demon, who was preparing to fly and shouted.

"A Dem-"

Bam! Thud!

But his sentence was interrupted by the Demon's Mana Bullet, which destroyed his head instantly. The Demon snickered as his body fell to the ground lifelessly.

"Hah! Weak!" The Demon turned toward the sky. "Now, I should return. But… I will remember that girl. How dare she hit me when I pretended to be a human and shop in the Supermarket! I will make her pay when I find her!" He flapped his wings as he roared. His body slowly floated as a raging wind twirling around him with each flap.

His body shot out to the sky after the third flap, flying away from the prison, toward the direction of the moon.

The prisoners were surprised beyond words. All of them were so afraid of the Demon that they pretended to be sleeping, praying, or begging in the corner of the room.

Among them, the only girl prisoner glared at the cell where the Demon was gritting her teeth in excitement, unlike the other prisoners. 

She looked around 16 years old and had short dirty platinum hair and amethyst eyes that shone in the dark prison. Like the other prisoners, she was wearing orange prisoner clothes with a number 42 on her left chest which bulged due to her big assets.

Her hands were clenching the bars that separated her cell from the hallway tightly, creating a slight dent in it.

"Demon!" She shouted excitedly as she watched the Demon flying away from the hole he created. There was a crazed smile on her face. "Cool! So they are hiding among the humans as expected! This is some good information! I should tell pops about this!"

Next, the girl backed away from the bar and went to the corner of the cell while rotating around in happiness with her right leg as a pivot. Then she flopped down on the crude bed and raised her head..

"How long have I been here? Three days? I really need a good shower." She muttered as she looked at the ceiling. "I got unexpected information, but… Why is pops so late! He should be here today to get me out of this cell, but he's nowhere to be seen!"

She grumbled loudly in prison, which was filled with terror. There was not a hint of fear in her voice. Instead, she seemed to be happy to see a Demon and got some information about it.

"Well, I guess he will come tomorrow, eh? Maybe he's still busy with some clients. It can't be helped. He's busy after all. Let's just sleep while waiting for him~" She jumped onto her bed and closed her eyes, sleeping.

[House]

"I am home."

I arrived at my home after I put off my disguise and changed into casual clothes in Park Injun's store. He also transferred the money that he got from Raymond to me. The money that he transferred was astronomically high. 17 billion USD.

Right, I just got 17 billion USD after raiding a nightclub.

Park Injun took 2 billion because he wanted to get twice back from the amount that he scammed. I didn't mind because he was a big help in this raid, considering that he scared the Awakeners in the nightclub and made them leave the scene.

When I closed the door behind me, Chloe appeared from the hallway wearing her black and red pajamas and greeted me.

"Welcome back."

I have never been at ease to hear such words. Once again, I appreciated Chloe's existence in this world. I didn't know what would happen to me if she wasn't here. I had to deceive myself into killing humans, but it was still longing inside my mind.

She approached me with a concerned look and asked.

"Vincent… Are you okay? Your eyes!" She peered right into my eyes, seemingly gazing right into me.

I tried my best to give her a smile as I didn't want to make her worry about me.

"Yeah. I am okay. The job is just rough. I used the [Horus' Sunglasses] special effect, so my left eye is blind for now."

However, as I answered, she pouted her cheek. "Liar. I don't want to hear a lie. You're lying about being okay."

My mouth twitched a bit hearing her words. As expected from her, someone with Hero Trait, who could differ between the lie and truth.

Even if I had Deceitful Trait, I was not in my best condition after killing four people, so she could look into my lie easily.

I smiled wryly at her and brushed it off. "I will be fine. I am not lying. Rather than that, is there any leftover meal? I am hungry."

Chloe looked at me with a judging gaze before letting out a sigh. "For now, let's enter. I will cook something for you."

She turned around and went inside. Shortly after, I followed her from behind.

"You don't need to cook a new dish. I am content with just anything in the fridge."

"There is nothing in the fridge. I haven't cooked any dinner yet."

She didn't seem to be lying.

We entered the dining room, where the kitchen was also located, and I looked around. There were no dishes, and everything seemed to be in place. I looked at the fridge when Chloe opened it to take out eggs, slices of bacon, and some bread. Everything was still the same as before.

'So she's waiting for me?'

Somehow, I was happy. She also cooked something that I requested for her for the first time when we bought this house. I approached her, who cooked the egg and said.

"Thanks, Chloe."

She flipped the egg and looked at me. "Un. Well… Get better, Vincent. I… I am worried when you are feeling down like that."

Feeling down, was it? So it was indeed written in my expression.

"Yeah. Thanks."

"No problem. We are partners." She smiled as she delivered the same answer that she had told me a few times.

Right, partner. We were partners, and we were counting on each other.

I planned to meet with that guy tomorrow. He surely already knew about me and what I did, considering his network information and Talent. I needed him to do something for me.

Hopefully, he would agree. I even had a lot of money, but… I could only hope. I needed to know whether that girl was still alive or not. Also about Vincent's past, if possible. As usual, I planned to bullshit the thing through. However, if he somehow connected the dot between me and Rai, then I could only use that card.

The question was, should I bring Chloe with me? If I brought her there with me, then would it make any difference?

'No. I will bring her with me, so I can gain his trust.'

"Chloe… Are you free tomorrow?" I asked.

"Huh? Is there a job again?"

"No. It's just… There is a guy that I wanted to visit."

"I see. I am free tomorrow. Also, who is the guy that you want to visit?" She asked curiously, tilting her head to the left cutely as she turned off the stove.

"Well, you surely know him. He's called Darkest Secret, the best informant in the Merchant Store."

"Darkest Secret?!" Chloe raised her voice, surprised. "You are going to meet him? Why? Also, how? If I am not wrong, no one knows his identity."

"No one except me." I looked at her seriously. "Also, I want to find someone using his information network."

"Who is that?" She asked. "There is someone you wanted to find?"

Someone who was related to me, or rather Vincent.

"I have someone that I wanted to find… She's…" I looked at Chloe while thinking of the possibility inside my head.

I thought of a possibility, a rather absurd one.

Zaiden saved Lily and his family from the outbreak ten years ago. As a result, he changed the story altogether. He was also a playboy in the Academy, being surrounded by the heroines.

That much was normal, considering that he was a Reincarnator. However, what wasn't normal was Vincent, the body I transmigrated into.

He was a famous womanizer, not a delinquent. Even if Vincent didn't seduce the heroines, surely some girls would be attracted to him, considering his handsome look. But no, everyone was afraid of me. They were afraid of Vincent.

The most important point that I noticed here was the rumors. There was a rumor floating around the Academy that Vincent sent some people to the hospital. After investigating it in my spare time last month, I discovered the rumor was true.

Vincent had sent some people to the hospital. But why? He had no reason to be a delinquent. Then I looked back at his backstory and why he became a womanizer in the first place. 

He became a womanizer to curb his loneliness from losing his little sister, who died in the same monster outbreak at the same time as Lily.

The reason why he wanted to stop Zaiden in the last volume was simple. He thought Elizabeth Dorothy's vessel was his little sister because their appearance was similar. So, he stopped Zaiden, the one who was famous for killing witches at that time, from reaching Elizabeth Dorothy.

So, I arrived at a conclusion…

'Vincent's little sister is still alive. The reason why he sent some people to the hospital surely is to protect his little sister.'

"I want to find my little sister."

Chloe's eyes widened in surprise as her mouth gaped, "Your little sister?" She muttered.

I nodded my head. "Will you come with me?"

"Of course!" She answered without missing a beat as she leaned closer to me. "It's your family! We need to find her!"

I smiled wryly at her. I couldn't tell her that there was a possibility that the said little sister had already died. But, then. At least this was what I could do for transmigrating into this body was to find out what happened. This would also bring me to find what had changed in this world compared to my novel.

"Yeah." I answered Chloe with a smile.
