Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 6 :A New Journey Begins

DRIP!DRIP!DRIP!

Rainwater splashed over the tent sogging the soil around the tent.

Fortunately, the tent was waterproof otherwise he needed to look for a hideout at night.

It was not easy for him to accept the reality that was thrown at him suddenly.

Dying and transmigrating….

The topic which serves as a source of entertainment yesterday became real for him out of nowhere.

His heart, which was a mess, didn't let him sleep. His eyes were a bit red and puffed.

Inside the tent faint murmurs of tearing air resounded as he swung his dagger in the air trying to familiarise himself with the dagger.

If not for the rain, he would have already hurried his way toward the academy.

After all, he was in the vast wilderness somewhere between the Capital and Mist City.

Perils lay in every corner of this world.

Dungeons may appear out of nowhere and spew out monsters and if not, the vast wilderness hoards varieties of demonic beasts who pose a threat to his life.

As an awakened, the original owner may not be afraid of the wilderness but truthfully he was scared out of his shits.

Even in the original world, people die from being beaten by dogs and various wild animals who went on a rampage.

He was even chased by a dog when he was a kid which turned into a kind of trauma.

Like humans, the beasts also get stronger due to the mana, and if he was unlucky to find one, he would be in trouble.

On top of that, there are chances of being looted by bandits however he should be safe from them as they would ignore him seeing his shabby appearance.

And he doesn't have good stats to puff his confidence.

He was unable to sleep last night so he looked for the memory of the original owner.

He did not know whether this was a mere coincidence or not, his mother's name was Vanessa and his father's name was Leonard which was the same as his previous life.

Both of his parents were mercenaries who met during a mission and fell in love while completing the mission.

Since the life of mercenaries was filled with fatality and dangers. They decided to settle in one property left by his grandparents in the North when his mother became pregnant.

Their son who is now him managed to pass the Academy entrance exam surprisingly though Roy was not able to recall it.

The memory of taking the entrance exam was blank as if he never took the exam which made him wonder if this ploy of someone who put him in Lucas's body and erased some of his memories.

Or all the memories he had of his previous life might be some kind of manipulation of someone.

And if it is true then what was the reason?

Just thinking about all of this gives him chills so he tries to shake away all these disturbing thoughts.

He is alive after the accident, that's what matters the most.

He was just an ordinary 20-year-old college student. He does not have any distinguishing features nor did he have full knowledge of the future.

If he remembers correctly, book one roughly covers 5-6 years in this world.

His knowledge is useful only up to this period after which he had to rely on his own.

It was a semi-modern world where technology was given as much importance as magic.

Trains were a common mode of transport however not every region was connected by railway tracks as there were many places unsuitable to lay tracks.

He was now in the Empire of Cyprus.

There are two more Empires beside it and many small principal states joined together to form Joint Coalition Kingdoms.

After a long journey, his last station was Mist City which is connected to the Capital Ivane.

However, the train to the capital was stopped due to the presence of a Dungeon outbreak somewhere in the middle of the tracks.

The Academy would start in 3 days and all trains were stopped until further notification so this boy decided to take a horse carriage to Capital Ivane however hearing the costly price, he decided to walk alone.

So after buying a tent he began his journey toward Capital City.

He began his journey on Friday and today is Saturday.

The time is half past Six in the morning.

"Damn man."

"Did you think you stand a chance against the danger posed by wilderness just because you are in the 1-Star realm?"

"The Protagonist may take on 10 1-Star by himself when he was in 1-Star but are you sure you can take one?"

"According to memory, you don't have any sword techniques. You don't even have a sword. There is only this dagger."

Roy, who was now Lucas, spoke with a sigh.

The original owner seems quite weird.

To awaken one needs to start training early to strengthen his body physically after which one needs to channel mana inside his body by breathing mana through a certain technique.

But there was none.

There was no technique of mana breathing or channeling in the memory for him to use.

The other way was for those who became mages but from the bits of memories, the original owner was a swordsman.

He tried to swing the dagger and found that the movement was quite rusty and felt unnatural.

Moreover, there was a lack of coordination between his body movements and thought process.

He did not know whether this was a problem with the original owner or due to transmigration, and his physique was quite bad.

You could count the number of ribs by sliding the finger on the chest.

"I know I am nagging a lot but when life dumps shit on you from all around you can only curse."He muttered and stopped swinging the dagger.

There are various characters in a novel.

The most problematic aspect of an extra is that you never know what is going to happen to you.

Most times deaths of people are mentioned without their names and were just given in numbers so what if he is one of those unfortunate ones?

The Academy selects 4000 students but he remembered that the number of students mentioned at the beginning was less than that which means… 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥．𝗰𝗼𝐦

Rest were not able to make it.

What if he is one of those unlucky ones who died on the way?

His sorrow had been lessened a lot by crying but this left him with a deep sense of anguish and helplessness.

"And that Son of a bitch scammer who sold father that Volume 2 of Dawn of legend which was completely blank. This means I know nothing of events happening in Volume 2."

The Dawn Of legend was a web novel and the printed book was released early.

He could read it if he died a bit late.

Since his name was nowhere, he was sure that he was an extra so the only aid he had was knowledge of the novel, however, the cheats here were quite less and rare.

First thing, the protagonist is a spearman while he is now a swordsman.

The protagonist might have already inherited the Spear so there is nothing much he could do in that regard.

Most of the Swordsmanship arts were passed from generation to generation in the noble families so he cannot opt for them.

And second, there are not many cheats there to make you stronger.

There were items and artifacts but they cannot make you fundamentally stronger.

You cannot always rely on them.

"I don't know why or how I ended up here but I hope there is not any conspiracy behind it."

"The water in this world runs quite deep."

With nothing to give him peace of mind, he turned towards the system to figure out something.

Lucas scanned his stats.

It looked quite average and similar to one who had just awakened recently.

The stamina which had less than sign meant that it was slightly better than normal.

"However, the Magic Power should be 1-Star- so why is there a lesser sign? Unawakened don't have mana. Did this guy have trouble during awakening?"

"I am now in the wilderness."

"There may be monsters from the dungeon outbreak or beasts who might be searching for prey."

"I have two stat points. I don't know how much they could increase the stat but I don't think raising strength is plausible.No matter what, beasts or monsters in 1-Star must surely have more strength than me who had the stats of a recent awakened."

"Even if I encounter a speed type, their strength combined with the ferocity might make it difficult for me to deal with them."

"So instead of fighting them head-on, it's best to avoid them as much as possible so I think I should increase my perception and put the remaining stat into agility."

"I don't know about stamina. Since it is less than the standard value, who knows if the increase would be substantial."

He did not know whether his thoughts were correct or not as he was not someone who knew all about this after all he grew up in a town, not in some jungle, and nor did he have been taught survival skills.

Pondering for a moment, he put a stat point into perception and agility.

He saw a change in the sign on the screens.

"Let's see what the deal is with the shop."

He is about to click on it when an itch spreads all over his body suddenly.

"What the..."

His expression was distorted and he gritted his teeth to endure the uncomfortable feeling.

He was not in any kind of pain, rather his whole body seemed to itch making him uncomfortable.

It only lasted for a moment and then a refreshing feeling washed over his body.

His mind felt cool and he felt more alive than ever.

His ears perked up and the sound of rain seemed louder. His eyesight also seemed to have improved.

"All my senses had been improved. It might be due to the effect of perception and speed, I need to do a trial run."

Lucas examined his condition and clicked on the shop.

[Shop]

[You need 500 Exp points to assess the store.]

"500 Exp points, "Lucas mumbled, wondering how to earn experience points.

As far as he knew systems assign quests and reward points on completion however there was no sign of any quests anywhere.

"Will I get experience points from killing?"

"But aren't those points generally helpful in leveling up but there are no levels in the interface so is it only for buying from the shop?"

"It is not like the systems I have read in other novels. It's different."

"Then the only way to become stronger and survive in the harsh world is to follow the common standard procedure and enroll in the academy."

Lucas assessed his situation for a moment and thought that it was better to move out of this place as quickly as possible to avoid endangering his life; however, for that, he needed to wait for the storm to stop.

Two hours later, the sound of clattering rain stopped and the atmosphere became silent.

Lucas walked out and gazed at the never-ending vast lands covered with green lush overlapped by the gentle rays of the sun which surfaced out from the clouds.

Lucas looked at the bright Sun and with a resolute expression, clenched his palm tightly.

"Since I am lucky enough to survive and was given a chance to live again, I just have to give my all to survive in this harsh world and lead a fulfilling life."
