Reincarnated as a Doomed Extra

[Prince of Darkness]

[Class: Elemental]

[Description: You are favored by the Darkness]

[Eternal Winter]

[Class: Elemental]

[Description: Your frost does not melt except by your command, and your cold touch extinguishes the warmth of life]

The rest of the attributes were as I expected. All of them were related to the elements I obtained as a result of being the Pale Moon. From the descriptions alone, I could tell that each element was particularly special.

The description of [Prince of Darkness] was somewhat vague. I didn't really know what distinguished my darkness element, but I would find out later. Right now, I was more interested in the frost element.

A frost that doesn't melt… isn't that kind of broken?

"Hmm."

I rubbed my chin, thinking about it for a bit.

A frost that doesn't melt… would it really not melt even when exposed to high temperatures?

Even for me, that was too much. That would be extremely broken. I would be able to create a perfect shield against any fire element user…

Yeah, that's impossible. Maybe it just doesn't melt if it's left alone like that.

After that, I looked down and moved to the [Elements] and [Elemental Mastery] tabs. It was exactly as I expected, although it was extremely shocking.

"Hell…"

"Kukohukohuko"

Upon seeing the elements and the intensity of the affinities, I couldn't help but laugh madly in this way.

Three elements… with the highest possible affinity level…

My smile widened until it reached my ears. It was just too good.

Even the proficiency progress in [Elemental Mastery] was above zero from the start…

This… this is cheating in the literal sense of the word.

Really, I felt like I was playing a game with a cheat code that ruined its difficulty and made its fun fade away.

Not like I'm enjoying the situation I'm in now…

After moments of contemplating the floating screen in front of me, I wanted to try using one of my elements.

I opened my palm and felt the smooth and fast flow of mana in my veins. And in an instant, I felt something cold resting on my palm.

An ordinary snowflake.

I specifically used frost to test how long the snowflake would last until it melted. Although it was clearly written that it wouldn't melt, I wanted to test it myself.

I placed the snowflake on the table next to the bed and stood up to tidy up the mess I had made when I woke up.

There were some books scattered everywhere too. From the small bookshelf to the floor.

After tidying everything up, I looked back at the floating screen and read its contents again. There were supposed to be additional tabs in it, like the [Eidolon] tab, but it probably didn't appear because I don't have an Eidolon.

The term Eidolon referred to creatures that resembled beasts but were more than that. Unlike beasts that you could encounter anywhere, it wasn't easy to reach the Eidolons.

These creatures lived in another dimension completely different from this dimension, and communicating with them might depend on more than one factor. Some of them might communicate with you without you doing anything, or you might have to go to special places that contain a small portal that allows you to communicate with them.

Eidolons were inherently peaceful creatures and did not harm humans. On the contrary, Eidolons were the most peaceful creatures in the world. There are even those who claim that they are the creatures that keep order.

In short, they are the familiars who make contracts with the awakened, but they were called Eidolons in this game world.

"How different…"

I took the snowflake from the table and studied it for a few moments.

I was still feeling strange about how I had formed it into this shape so easily. It wasn't easy to form a complex shape like this without training, especially for a newly awakened like me.

I had pushed the mana while just imagining this shape, but I didn't expect it to actually form into it.

A much more primitive form was supposed to appear…

After a while of contemplating the small flake, I shook my head.

"Well, who am I to complain about this."

I put the snowflake back on the table and left the room to eat something.

When I arrived at the hall, the light leaking from Solon's room caught my attention, so I approached his half-open door and peeked inside.

There, Solon was sitting in the middle, shirtless and in a meditative posture.

The light of the lanterns added a sheen to the sweat that rolled down his well-built body.

'Look at that body…' I thought enviously.

If I compared my body to his, I would say that his body was stronger than my awakened body, which made me feel really unfair.

However, I couldn't prevent the feeling of unease from really distancing itself from me. I don't know if I was wrong or not, but he seems to be taking longer than he did in the game.

All these eleven days, I had been waiting for the moment of his awakening with anxiety. Because immediately after his awakening, that demon would come to destroy this village.

In fact, I had thought of two options or courses of action when this opening event began. Although it was named as an opening event, in the game, not much of it was shown, just cutscenes without control from the player himself.

The first option was, of course, to fight against the demon alongside Solon and the rest of the awakened in the village and try to kill the demon before it caused the death of us all.

This option was somewhat stupid because it ended with everyone in their graves except for Solon. And you could even say that Solon survived because of plot armor here…

What change could my presence really make? Even if I possessed a very powerful physique, I was still a very newly awakened, not an hour had passed since I awakened.

The second option was… to play dead.

Yes, playing dead.

When everyone dies, I will pretend to be dead until this damn dramatic event ends and I escape.

If the first option was driven by my side as Selas, the second was driven by me, the foreigner in this world.

I really didn't want to die this early in my incarnation here…

But what about Solon?

What guarantee is there that he won't die with us too?

This thought gnawed at my mind like a parasite, causing my opinion to swing towards the first option.

I didn't want to bet on that. Not when it came to Solon's life.

This has become reality, so it's better to play it safe rather than regret it for the rest of my life.

I looked at Solon who was doing his best to awaken. For some reason, I kept looking at him with a dreamy look as I appreciated this sight.

Maybe it was because I knew that he was doing everything he could to treat me, or maybe it was because he was a character I used to control and play with from behind a screen one day.

I didn't know, and I didn't want to know.

Although I felt stupid deep down from this choice, it was the only thing that wouldn't make me feel guilty for doing it.

After watching Solon from behind the door for a while, I opened the door completely quietly and entered the room.

He was supposed to be very close to forming his core now, so I decided to help him with that.

After I stood near him, I released a little mana from my mana core into the air for Solon to absorb.

Of course, for Solon, who was in a state of absolute meditation, he noticed the sudden appearance of mana from my side, which made his sculpted face scrunch into a slight frown.

My core wasn't big enough to support his awakening completely, but since he was already close, I thought that releasing my core for him would be a good thing, especially since this might give us some time to raise our strength before the impending disaster.

So, continuously, I kept letting the mana leak from my core freely and making it help Solon.

If I were in a state of meditation now, I could have seen Solon greedily absorbing all the mana I leaked.

For your information, being born with a physique doesn't make your awakening faster in any way. There was an advantage like that, but that was after awakening.

Before awakening, there might be some strange traits that show that you have a physique, but they won't make you loved by mana like after you awaken.

That's why Solon took all this time even though he was the protagonist of the game's story. And this was also a reason why I suspected that whatever evil entity was inside me had somehow helped me to awaken…

While I was lost in my thoughts and cursing my miserable life, I felt the mana that was condensing in Solon's solar plexus. It was so much and so dense that I felt it from my place.

After a period of Solon's internal struggle in gathering and condensing the mana, and after a period of his body reddening to a great degree, Solon did it.

He awakened.

A big, happy smile appeared on his face despite his obvious fatigue.

When he opened his eyes to see who helped him close the last part of his core, he was met with a very shocking sight. A scene that shook him to the core, to the point that his finger froze in the air, pointing at me with eyes as wide as saucers.

'Ah, I already feel the headache coming…'
