Reincarnated into a Doomed Novel as an Unknown Extra

"Hey! Wake up! It's 9 am!"

"You fucker! Don't shout!"

I woke up to Glutton's yells, remembering what I had to do today.

"My artificery test. I almost forgot about it."

With a lazy yawn, I stood and began to prepare myself. The test was supposed to start in half an hour.

After preparing myself and having a small breakfast, I looked at Glutton who looked like a 12 year old kid now.

"Either turn into an animal or enter my soul. Your humanoid form would cause troubles."

Glutton nodded as he turned into a raven and stood on my shoulder.

The next moment, I teleported to the first floor.

Scanning my surroundings, I noticed that there were some people sitting at the tables as the little dwarf served them.

Something else I noticed was how tired he was. There were black circles still forming under his eyes, and he made many mistakes while serving as if his mind wasn't there.

'Maybe there was really something between them…'

[Unfortunately, after a few hours, Lynn will be 'Missing'.]

I let out a sigh as I teleported before he could notice me, then I started moving to the main building.

I felt some sympathy toward him. I wasn't heartless toward innocent people like Myles.

I wanted to tell him about her crime, but he probably wouldn't understand. Hey may even start trying to seek revenge saying that she was forced to work with them and there should have been another way to solve the problem.

In other words, he wouldn't understand my logic.

If someone was ready to harm innocent people because they were "forced", I'd kill that person myself.

Tonight, the machine I used in her bracelet would make the bracelet explode. It was a mechanism that would activate if the machine's power was drained completely and no one removed it.

Which means, after just a few hours, Lynn — whose bracelet was showing she was in the inn — would suddenly disappear.

I shook my head and focused on my way — It wasn't my problem if he was in a relationship with a traitor.

After running for 20 minutes, I entered the main building and found my way to another wall.

'Is the principal obsessed with the walls?'

I let out a sigh as I entered the "Wall".

The next moment, I found myself in a strange large lab.

In the middle of the lab, there were a few small rooms. box-like structures with walls and doors, like private phone booths but bigger.

On the door of each room, there was a written name with a photo beside it.

Both my name and photo were on one of them.

Also, I noticed some familiar faces. They were Nyxis, Limitless, Liora and Elara.

For some reason… all the others were dwarves.

Suddenly, the same beastman from yesterday approached me and said: "For this test, you will have your personal workshop. Please stand in front of yours until the test starts."

I nodded to him and teleported to my workshop.

"Raylin?"

"Oh! You are here!"

Liora and Elara suddenly called me. I turned my head toward them and waved.

"It's nice to see you here. How was your past test?" I said casually, but then I almost gritted my teeth when they ignored me and didn't answer.

Their eyes were fixed on Glutton!

Elara suddenly screamed excitedly: "It's so beautiful and cute! Can I hug it? Please?"

Liora's eyes glowed brightly as she calmly asked. "Can I… pet it?"

[Yes! Yes! Yes!]

Before Glutton could rush toward them, I forced him to enter my soul before shaking my head.

"I'm sorry, but as you can see, Glutton is a shy spirit."

[Let me out! They want me and I want them! Let me out! You fucking bastard!]

He kept trying to leave, but I continued forcing him to stay there.

"I'll try to talk with him later."

"Oh…" Liora's eyes stopped glowing.

"We will talk later then. Only 5 minutes remained before the test starts" Elara's expression turned into disappointment as she walked away with Liora.

[NOOOOOOO!]

'Shut up! How could a spirit be a pervert?'

[I'm a special spirit that can marry, so don't stop me from finding my future wife!]

"...."

I ignored him and didn't respond anymore. After a few minutes, the door of my workshop opened wide.

Entering the workshop, the door suddenly closed itself as I began to scan the workshop.

The workshop contained everything an artificer would need such as forge, anvil, cutting wheel, hammers with different sizes and shapes, and more.

On the ground, there were multiple materials like empty scrolls, some unknown minerals and ingots, and even magical ink.

The test was straight and simple: Make whatever you want using only the materials in this workshop.

There were no limits. The result would depend on what I'd make and the time I'd spend.

I took a deep breath as my lips curled into a wide grin.

"Let's start with examining the materials."

••••

[1.5 hours later]

"I want to die…"

I was lying motionless on the ground after a long mental fight.

I had to examine the minerals and ingots because I didn't have enough knowledge to know all of them which consumed so much time.

Then I started making the items I wanted to enchant, enduring the high heat of the forge and the pain on my muscles from using the hammers.

In the end, I enchanted them and recorded some spells on the given scrolls.

I was really exhausted. My head was ringing and I could barely see anything even with my special eyes, yet, I was satisfied with the results.

I had made a sword, some arrows, a bow, a shield, and 3 scrolls.

"I think that's enough." With a groan, I stood up and left the workshop.

When I left, I found Elara and Liora waiting for me. And for some reason, Elara was lying on the ground.

[They are waiting for me! Let me out!]

'Shut up!'

"Hi…" Elara said with exhaustion. "Can you carry me outside this place…? I have called Arthur, but he can't enter this place for some reason."

I chuckled at her words. He probably ended up crashing in the wall. Maybe it was something to protect the students in the tests.

"And here I thought you were waiting for me as a friend. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be like that."

Elara let out a soft laugh. "Sorry… I'm really exhausted and Liora refused to help…"

"Cough." Liora suddenly coughed with a blush in her face. "Raylin… you are topless."

"So?" Both of me and Elara asked in unison.

Liora opened her mouth for a long moment before shrugging. "Nevermind."

I raised an eyebrow as I carried Elara.

In fact, Liora, who was wearing her hoodie, was the strange one here.

All the men who had just left their workshops were also topless, and all the girls were wearing bras like Elara.

The heat was too much even for Exalted like us.

'Wait, she has frost affinity.' I thought as the realization suddenly hit me.

She could easily endure the heat.

I shook my head and looked ahead as I moved toward the exit.

That was my last test.

Now, I only had to wait the rankings.
