Darkness spread all around me, covering every inch of space.
I waited for a moment, and then images began to appear—my past life and my current life.
I was dead. I don't know how… maybe a heart attack or something like that.
But what I do know is that I didn't transmigrate or take over someone's body.
Rather, Jin and Raven… we are one. But now, I have recovered my previous memories.
Images kept appearing in the darkness—my memories.
I saw myself training my abilities as Raven, and studying for exams as Jin.
With time, I accepted everything. My memories merged into one existence.
And when the darkness finally faded and I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on the bathroom floor.
I tried to move, expecting pain to hit me again—but to my surprise, I only felt energy… strength.
The pain was gone. My mind was clear.
I slowly lifted myself from the ground, and when I stood up, I looked at the solid floor beneath me.
"Guess instead of dying in a monster siege, alien invasion, or a demon battle… I died to a bathroom floor."
"Good thing no one is here to witness my dark history."
I said while stretching my newly energized body.
By the way, that strange feeling I mentioned earlier when the pain intensified… I now know what it was. Well, I already knew it before, so does that even count as "knowing again"? Doesn't matter.
Anyway, it was mana—the force that builds this universe, flowing through galaxies and space itself.
It is also known by many names, such as magical energy and others.
Let's leave that for another time.
Now I was standing in front of the mirror.
Staring at my reflection.
Jet-black hair, shining silver eyes, a calm expression, and a handsome face.
"Not bad… by male standards, this face deserves a title."
I rubbed my face, trying to smile, but failed completely. Maybe I have some kind of facial muscle paralysis? I can't smile properly.
"I look like a clown," I thought while staring at myself in the mirror, trying to force my lips into a smile.
But I failed miserably… whatever. The cold expression suits me better anyway. I accepted my condition and slowly washed my face.
I went to the kitchen, ate breakfast, washed the dishes, and returned to my room.
Alright, now I need to organize my information.
I am inside a novel—World Record, a novel that was abandoned by its author.
And I am just an extra character in this house.
"What kind of cursed luck is this? I wanted to be the final villain or the protagonist, but I'm just an extra."
It's good that I have combat talent. I thought as I remembered my skills in sword and gun usage from training grounds and virtual combat arenas.
Let's talk about World Record for a moment.
A novel abandoned by its author for unknown reasons—no matter how much fans tried to contact him, he never responded.
The story was never completed, and many things were never explained.
And my current status is:
Extra character
Average talent
Handsome face
Uncertain knowledge of the future /
What a lucky life…
I kept sighing for a few minutes, over and over again because of my bad luck.
If I could use a "status screen," my luck would probably be in the negatives, I thought sadly.
I feel like I might cry from this.
It took me a few minutes to fix my broken mood.
Now I need to think… what should I do?
In most novels, there are always elemental items that villains or side characters obtain first, only for someone like me to steal them later.
Well, I won't complain about stealing… I mean, it's not his yet, so if I take it, it's mine.
After trying to recall the original story, I remembered two powerful items
Eye of Truth
Black Matter
I must obtain them.
I think I'll reach rank E first, then activate the "Status Screen."
Now… let's go steal— I mean, begin our first plan in this world.
