Extra follows Elijah Morgen, a calculating, low-profile noble Reincarnator in a world of swords, sorcery, and political intrigue. Bound through a hidden system, Elijah receives a tenfold boost to all power, training, and cultivation gains achieved by Lucian Everhart—the world’s destined hero. Crucially, the system ignores luck, reputation, or social gains, making Elijah’s path rooted in personal effort and strategic advancement.

From early childhood through adolescence, Elijah navigates noble rituals and the pressures of bloodline potential, forming a close but independent friendship with Lucian. While others strive for glory, Elijah uses his intellect to build security for his carefully chosen circle, outmaneuvering rivals, thwarting subtle threats, and preparing for world-altering crises—all from the shadows.

As the story evolves, Elijah and Lucian’s paths diverge but their loyal friendship endures: Lucian becomes the champion of alliances battling the corruptive Abyss Dwellers from beyond the stars, while Elijah grows methodically in soul and body cultivation, mastering forbidden arts and secret strategies to silently shape events. Elijah’s focus remains on balance, pragmatic defense, and ensuring his small world endures, no matter what befalls the wider realm.

Through triumphs, betrayals, heartbreaks, and victories, Elijah’s subtle influence and unwavering resolve drive a new age—not through the spotlight, but from unbreakable shadows.

Abyssal practitioners mimic soul arts but pervert synchronicity—producing powerful but monstrous forms incapable of true harmony.


Only those in perfect sync, who have diligently walked both paths, stand a chance to resist or cleanse their corruption.


Races that once warred over resources and prestige now trade manuals and guard each other's secrets, hoping to foster a generation capable of surviving the abyssal incursion.
