Reincarnated into a Doomed Novel as an Unknown Extra

A huge feathered monster with 2 clawed bird legs and a pair of sharp silver wings instead of hands.

It had a semi-humanoid body and a tiger head, covered in crystallized ice and shooting ice beams out of its mouth.

It looked a little scary, but it was nothing compared to its opponent.

On the other side, a masked man clad in black clothes stood in the middle of the air, holding a longbow and staring sharply at the flying monster like a predator that found its prey.

The look in his eyes was anything but frightened. Just looking at them sent shivers down my spine.

"Finally a flying monster! Hehehe."

He laughed, his voice cold and sharp. He seemed to be having fun. Just this morning, I had wondered how a sane person like him could be friends with someone like Zephyr.

Now I know the answer. He was never sane!

"Throw your bow and kick its ass!" Beside me, Zephyr was cheering for Raylin. He was doing that since the start even though Raylin couldn't hear him.

"Hey Zephyr." I called him with confusion in my voice and asked: "Did he fight monsters before? He seems to be used to that."

Liora and Selene stood closer to us as Zephyr answered: "Hmmm? No? Arthur, not just the monsters. Except for me and his sister, he never fought anything at all. Ohh he is growing so fast…"

"Wha—!" I tried to say something, but someone suddenly cut me off.

"So that monster tortured me and little Lina in his first fight?!"

Sitting on the ground, Long Lei complained while rubbing his spirit's head.

"And don't forget." Leaning on a wall, Limitless added: "After hitting him with all those attacks and with his body bleeding from many places, he kept smiling! I was scared as hell!"

"M-Maybe he was just a little excited…" Selene began to defend him. "Some people just like to fight. Look at Zephyr."

"At least I end it as fast as possible!"

"No you don't!"

"GRAAAH!"

*BAM!*

Suddenly, the monster fell on the ground. We all stopped talking as we watched it trying to stand up, but there was a hidden force holding it firmly.

One of its wings was severed and the same for one of its legs. There were many cuts marks and holes in arrow shape on its burning body, with one of its eyes missing.

*BAM!*

Raylin suddenly fell on its head, crushing it like a humanoid meteor as he shouted. "Give me it back!"

He had one arm left with many injuries in his body bleeding or frozen, but his face was still too calm despite all that.

He used his remaining hand and one of his legs to open the monster's maw, then he took his arm from inside of it with only an irritated expression.,

I gulped silently as I saw Raylin making a lightning stiletto and using it to pierce the monster's brain through its eyes.

Blood splashed over Raylin's body and face, but he didn't seem disgusted at all. He just smirked at it!

"Long Lei, you were right. That guy is probably a monster…" I said as I wondered what would happen if we fought.

The answer was simple, I'd win.

He wasn't strong enough to match me, and he didn't seem to be good in close combat.

But for someone indifferent to pain like him, he would probably hit me with 2 or 3 arrows and some magical attacks before falling.

I… wanted to fight him someday, not to win, but to improve.

I wanted to be the future king and unite all the races, but for that, I needed to become even stronger.

My lips curled into a smile.

'Someday.'

•••

'Fuck! That hurts as hell!'

"Give me it back!"

Using my remaining arm, one leg, and 2 phantom wind hands, I opened the monster's mouth and took my arm.

The next moment, a lightning stiletto materialized in my hand, then I pierced the tiger's eyes as its blood began to cover me.

The strong scent of the warm blood hit me instantly.

'Ohh just like the old days.'

I remembered my days as a hitman when I used to smell blood once a week at least. They were good days.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a corrupted rich human, but a fake monster.

Suddenly, my dagger hit the monster's brain as it let out one last scream before falling dead.

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

Some fireworks exploded in the air, showing the line "4 win streaks!" Before disappearing.

Just then, I heard a voice in my ear.

—We will judge your performance fairly, so you can rest now.

The next moment, I was standing in the preparation room with only a healing potion in front of me.

'Tsk, stingy bastards.'

I attached my severed arm in my shoulder, then using an invisible hand, I put a little of the liquid on it.

Regaining my arm's feeling again, I drank the potion to heal my other injuries.

"...."

Looking around me, I saw everyone staring at me with different expressions.

"What? Is there something in my face? I mean — except blood."

"...."

'Oh, I have to stop the fear effect.'

I stopped the fear effect mentally and my clothes turned into a normal black shirt and pants.

The awkward silence continued for a moment, then the silence got shattered suddenly.

"That was cool as fuck!"

"I swear you are a cockroach."

"Don't come near me!"

"Sadistic!"

"Psychopath!"

"Remember me when you become the next apex!"

"..."

I watched silently as some people cursed me while the others praised me. It seemed like I got a complex reputation for some reason.

And why were they calling me a psychopath?! I might be the kindest person after Arthur here!

I recalled all my fights, trying to figure out what I did wrong, but no matter how much I thought about it, nothing seemed wrong.

'Maybe they are just jealous.'

I teleported to the seat beside Selene, who was looking at me with a bright smile, and asked: "Why do many people seem to hate me all of a sudden."

"Oh… about that…," She opened her bracelet and searched for something, then she began to show me a video at a specific moment.

I was in the video, covered in blood with a wide smirk on my face.

Yep, it was too normal.

"Did they expect me to give it a clean kill or something? I'm not that strong unfortunately."

"What? This isn't what I… nevermind."

She let out a breath. I wanted to ask her about the problem, but suddenly—

*Ding!*

The next participants were decided.

On the hovering screen, 2 names appeared beside each other.

'Some things really never change.'

I sighed as I looked at the hovering names, they were Arthur Sunblade and Zephyr Stormblade!
