The Author is an Extra, The MC is a Reincarnator-Chapter 6 Problematic Reincarnator

[11:30 AM]

The school was boring.

It had nothing special on it; it was outright boring.

I was sitting in the cafeteria alone, chomping down food for lunch.

There were a lot of students who came to the cafeteria. The food here was cheap and delicious. That was the only reason why students chose to eat at the cafeteria instead of the restaurant outside the Academy.

We were free to eat outside. The Academy was rather lax in rules.

Also, as I had expected…

'I was avoided, huh?'

No one sat at the table with me even though there were five empty chairs.

The students glanced at me once or twice, but no one was willing to sit near me. That was until that guy appeared.

"Hey! Can we sit here?" A cheerful voice greeted me from behind.

I glanced back over and saw Zaiden brought a bowl of food, and there was the first heroine, Mirana, beside him.

"Hey, Zaiden. Are you sure you want to sit here? You know that he's a delinquent, right?" Mirana whispered to Zaiden, but I could hear her because my hearing was enhanced when my body was reformed.

"He's not that bad, Mirana. Maybe the rumor about him was false? I mean, he looks like a friendly guy." Said Zaiden.

My mood turned sour. Once again, I was reminded that this guy was not my real main character.

I wanted to lash at him and punch him for being close to the heroines, but I couldn't do that. My plan required me to be friendly with him as Vincent.

If he had changed the damn personality of the main character, he wouldn't get suspicious if I, an Extra, were friendly towards him.

"Yeah, sure. You can sit there." I pointed at the chairs in front of me with my thumb.

"Ah! Thank you. I can't find an empty seat, so it's a lifesaver." Zaiden sat in front of me and put his bowl down on the table. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

Mirana seemed to be a bit hesitant, but she ultimately sat beside Zaiden while glaring at me.

"You, are you always like this?" She asked me suspiciously.

"What do you mean?" I asked her back, "No one ever talked to me and just branded me as a delinquent when what I did in school was limited to sleeping in the class."

Mirana didn't seem to believe me, "But there is a rumor about you. Something like you sent people who made you mad to the hospital."

Hmm? Was there really a rumor like that?

I didn't know anything as I had no memories of Vincent. I really wanted to know the past behavior of Vincent too, for god's sake. But my information now was limited, and seeing the backstory that I wrote for Vincent.

There was no way he would send people to hospitals.

"That's not true," I answered Mirana and continued eating.

Vincent was an unfortunate guy in the backstory that I wrote for him. He lost his parents at the same time the protagonist lost his childhood friend.

Not only that, he lost them in the same monster outbreak too.

I wanted to add some relation between Vincent and Zaiden, which would become why Vincent wished to stop the main character from saving the last heroine.

"That's not true? Then why do the rumors about you never stop?"

Even though I wrote about her personality as a curious one, she was rather annoying in the real world. So I decided to ignore her.

"Hey, I am talking to you!"

"Mirana, maybe you should stop at that. You are bothering Vincent." Said Zaiden.

"If you say so…" Muttered Mirana meekly.

He then turned to me and smiled, "My apologies for that, Vincent. Please forgive Mirana. She was just curious."

"No offense taken," I answered Zaiden shortly before continuing to eat my meal.

Mirana stopped bothering me after Zaiden stopped her; it was good. The calm atmosphere was back. Zaiden and Mirana were talking to each other, ignoring my presence.

Because I was a bit irritated when seeing them like that, I wolfed down my meal and stood up in less than five minutes.

"Ah!" Zaiden let out a gasp when I stood up. I didn't know why he did it, but I began to walk out of the cafeteria with my hands in my pocket.

I had a frown on my face; it was irritating after all. Even though I tried to be as friendly as possible towards Zaiden, I couldn't do it with sincerity.

If only he was my real main character, maybe I would help him save the world. But, his look was that of a clueless person right now, and I somehow hated it.

'Tsk! Should I just kill him and save the world myself?'

That was the fastest way to do it, but I can't do that.

The reason was simple; I was not the main character.

When I was lost in my thoughts and exited the cafeteria, I heard a clear voice from my side.

"Hey! There you are, Zaiden!"

From the edge of my sight, I saw the owner of that voice.

A clear blond hair danced in the sky, and amethyst eyes shone like a gem. I stopped in my tracks and looked at the owner of the voice with my mouth gaped.

'No way…'

The voice owner was a girl, a truly beautiful girl with a big smile on her face, waving her hand towards Zaiden.

"Ah, Lily, here!" Zaiden's shout followed; he was calling a name that was too familiar to me.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

'Why is she here?!'

My eyes widened as I couldn't understand what had happened right now.

The girl, Lily, seemed to notice my gaze as she turned her head to me, "Hmm? Do I know you?" she asked.

'No, that appearance. And that name, there is no way she's here at this time.'

"No, I am just surprised by your shout," I answered her as calmly as possible.

Her mouth opened a little, and she put her hand in front of it, "Ah! I'm sorry for shouting near you."

"It's no problem. Just be careful next time."

"Yes, once again, sorry!" She clapped her hand to me before running towards Zaiden.

I left the cafeteria hastily while my mind raced, trying to find out why she was there.

'That bastard. Did he gain his memories when he was a child?!'

The possibility was so slim that I never thought about it. From what I saw on the internet last night while going around the casino, the world still hadn't changed at all.

A lot of guilds were still trying to clear the dungeons, there was no news about the organization that opposed the main character yet. So I thought that Zaiden just formed a harem in the Academy without changing the story too much.

If she was really here, then the story was already derailed from the original one from the start.

'I can't waste any more time.'

She was here.

The one who was supposed to die was here.

The key to the story was somehow alive, and it made my hypothesis of Zaiden being a reincarnator to be true.

"Fuck!" I shouted in the hallway that was filled with students. They turned to look at me, but I ignored them and walked faster.

He was a reincarnator.

Zaiden had his memories of the story since he was a child.

He did something foolish. He saved the last heroine, the only reason why he wanted to get stronger.

Maybe the reincarnator read until volume 29, where I explained about the monster outbreak that happened when he was a child. He may have thought that he would at least save the girl close to him in his childhood without realizing that she was the last heroine.

Lily Sonava. The last heroine in my novel 'The Awakener's Dead Harem.'

She was Zaiden's childhood friend as well as the key character for the ending of the novel.

'I can't really waste my time again. I need to get my second identity faster.'

If I didn't make a move right now, then the future would become problematic.

'Fuck you, Zaiden.'

I just wanted to enjoy this world while playing around at first. Then I saw him having fun. I thought of playing with him and gave him some despair to make him stronger.

However, the story was different when the last heroine was still alive and close to Zaiden.

That girl, without her being there, then that place would move faster. Except…

'Someone else takes her place. And I don't know who that someone is.'

The only thing I could do right now was to create my second identity faster and look for information from all around the world.

'I swear I will get back at you when you leave this Academy, Zaiden. I will make you work hard… hard enough that you wish you didn't change the original story.'

"Zaiden, who was that boy earlier? He looked surprised when he saw me." Lily asked Zaiden as she sat in front of him.

"Hmm? He's Vincent Dihart, our classmate." Answered Zaiden as he looked at Lily.

"Your classmates?" Asked Lily, interested in Vincent that she passed, "He seems interesting." She smiled.

"Lily, it's better if you don't get close to him." Said Mirana seriously.

"Why?" Asked Lily as she tilted her head, "He doesn't seem to be a problem?"

"You didn't hear rumors about him yet? He's a delinquent!" Exclaimed Mirana.

"Mirana, I told you that the rumors may be false, right?" Said Zaiden seriously.

"Yeah, but…"

"Hmm, that's interesting." Muttered Lily.

Zaiden heard what Lily muttered about and looked at the exit of the cafeteria.

'Vincent? Who is he? If he's my classmate, then he's an Extra in Awakener's Dead Harem? I never heard of him after all.'

Zaiden was confused. He didn't remember such a character appearing in the novel. He was already here for a long time, and he had general knowledge about this world.

'I managed to save Lily thanks to the knowledge of the novel. I also managed to get close to the others thanks to that.'

He felt Lily's gaze on him and smiled at her. Lily pursed her lips a little before she smiled again and talked with Mirana.

'I will save them all. I will not let them die…After all… I am a reincarnator. And it's my duty to save them.'
