Thump..
Lucius jolted awake from his slumber only to find himself on the ground.
Yes, he fell from the...
Bed.
But why was he on the bed?
No, why was he even here?
Wasn't he in the black emptiness counting for eternity?
He couldn't figure out anything until a familiar figure entered his room.
His hair was light blue in color, while his eyes were a shade of cyan and navy.
With an outstanding height of more than six feet and high cheekbones, he could easily make a model pale in comparison.
Lucian's eyes widened in disbelief as a barrage of memory fragments clouded his mind.
The person right in front of him was none other than him.
The protagonist of Path to Invulnerable
Zephyr Frost
'But why is he here?'
'Wait... does he even exist?'
All sorts of thoughts raced through Julius's mind as he scanned the figure in front of him.
Zephyr pursed his lips and said,
"Aziel, what are you doing? Get ready quickly."
Then he flashed a warm smile and left the room.
Jul—Aziel pondered for a moment.
'Why was he calling me Aziel?'
'Wait... I have to see through the mirror.'
He quickly stood up and bolted toward the bathroom, which he probably knew where it was...
Due to his instincts.
Spotting the mirror, he walked toward it and positioned himself in front of it.
"Aac—"
A scream nearly escaped his mouth as his eyes widened again in disbelief.
The figure in front of him.
It wasn't him but...
He didn't know who he was.
His hair was pure white. His eyes were a striking gray, almost intense, which contrasted sharply with his hair.
He had a smooth, youthful face with high cheekbones and a well-defined jawline.
Overall, his appearance was really unique, thanks to the dramatic combination of his white hair and gray eyes.
Aziel had already figured out that he had been transmigrated into the novel he was about to read.
But he couldn't figure out who he was.
It wasn't like he didn't know even an inch of the novel.
At the very least, he knew all the major characters and some information on one or two major events.
This only came to one conclusion.
Extra.
'I am reincarnated as an extra.'
A sudden chill ran down his spine at the thought of it.
First, to reincarnate in a novel he didn't like—and not to add, as an extra...
Whose existence didn't matter.
Ding.
A notification popped up on his smartphone, so he quickly retrieved it from his left pocket.

Connecting the dots together, he figured out that Zephyr must be his sibling.
'But Zephyr didn't have a sibling in the novel as far as I remember.'
He pondered and then quickly glanced at the time displayed at the top left corner of his smartphone.
6:40 AM.
Letting out a sigh, Aziel questioned himself.
'Why must I go to the academy? I have no reason to—'
'Wait, I don't have anything to do either. I think I should go. It would be the best course of action at this moment.'
Considering going to the academy, he quickly went to his room and retrieved his uniform from the wardrobe.
It was nothing special.
A plain white shirt with the insignia of the academy on the left side of his chest—to be precise, where the heart is located.
And pitch-black trousers with a black blazer atop the shirt.
Not to mention a blue necktie that reached past his abdomen.
Nodding in satisfaction, Aziel went out of his apartment only to find Zephyr waiting for him.
He quickly descended the stairs and stood just beside him.
"Aziel, where is your hoverboard?"
'Hoverboard... Oh right, they used it to travel to the academy.'
Aziel pondered for a while, then pursed his lips.
"Oh r-right, h-hoverboard, I forgot where I kept it."
A white lie.
Cold sweat trickled down Aziel's face.
"Sigh... Fine, I have a spare. Here, take it."
Zephyr quickly retrieved a white hoverboard with black outlining and intricate designs from his space ring and threw it toward Aziel.
Aziel was caught off guard, but he barely managed to catch it mid-air with a sluggish movement.
Upon seeing this, Zephyr leaned close to Aziel's face. Frowning, he pursed his lips.
"You... seem different today?"
Beads of cold sweat began trickling down Aziel's face.
He gave a forced smile and replied,
"H-How do I seem different today?"
Zephyr scanned his face once again and withdrew.
"Nothing. Never mind."
As Zephyr moved and placed his hoverboard just some feet above the surface, Aziel followed and did the same.
But a sudden thought struck Aziel's mind.
He...
He didn't know how to use it.
The hoverboard...
