Samar, middle age man also a top rank gamer  find him self reincarnated in his favorite game as an extra character
The Game That he Played of Eight year, The Worlds of Hunter .

Arcade Academy trains the heirs of empires, clans, and guilds to become the next generation of heroes.
But Michael Willson is different. With memories of this world as a game, he isn’t here to play the protagonist’s role — he’s here to survive, outsmart fate, and carve a place of his own.

When every trial twists under his hidden knowledge, rivals begin to whisper his name. Is he ally, enemy… or the greatest threat Arcade has ever seen? 
Even it means to take the place of the Hero!
--------------------
In a world where strength determines destiny, youths across kingdoms and clans dream of entering Arcadia Academy, the greatest institute for hunters, knights, and magi. It is here that the heirs of noble houses, royal bloodlines, and guild legacies gather to hone their talents — and claim supremacy over the future.

But for Michael Willson, things are different. Once a nameless outsider with no family or backing, he possesses only one weapon: knowledge. By a twist of fate, Michael has memories of Arcadia not as a student… but as a game. Every trial, every event, every hidden danger — he knows them all. And he intends to use this knowledge not to play the hero, but to survive.

Thrown into the brutal Survival Trial, Michael faces monsters, rival cadets, and even death itself. While the world sees a ruthless tactician who outpaces prodigies from the mightiest families, Michael only sees ticking clocks and looming disasters. His choices ripple beyond expectation: saving people he was never meant to, stealing victories meant for others, and twisting the threads of fate that once belonged to Arcadia’s destined protagonists.

Now, as the trial ends and the cadets march toward the Academy’s grand halls, alliances begin to form and rivalries sharpen. Leon Lionheart, heir of justice. Selena Veylan, royal shadow. Edric William, the arrogant scion of the strongest family. And countless others.

Yet in every glance, every whisper, one truth becomes clearer:
Michael Willson is no mere background character. He is the variable, the shadow, the one unseen by fate’s design.

Arcadia is about to begin.
And Michael will rewrite the story.

The kitchen of the Supreme Hall was vast, almost intimidating in its cleanliness. But Michael stepped into it like he belonged, sleeves rolled, hair tied back slightly.


"What are you doing?" Leon asked, watching Michael reach for a pan.


"I don't want cafeteria mush. And if I'm going to force myself to deal with your nonsense all night, you're at least going to eat something good first."


Aiden perked up immediately. "Good as in… edible good, or 'god help us' good?"


Michael smirked faintly. "Good as in—don't complain until you taste it."


Maria tilted her head, watching him line up jars of spices with practiced ease. "You cook often?"


"Used to. Before all… this." He gestured vaguely to the academy, the sword at his side, his entire new life. "When it was just me, I didn't exactly have the luxury of hiring a chef."
