This Extra Hates Bad Endings

Matt is an ordinary young college student with an addiction to the pages of The Golden Weaver’s First Apprentice. This novel wasn’t just a hobby for him, it was his lifeline, the one thing that kept him feel alive when the rest of the world felt unbearably dim. Page after page, chapter after chapter, he followed the journey of the Finster, a character he cared for more fiercely than anyone else, even his family or himself. When the long-awaited final chapter was released, Matt devoured it with trembling anticipation. The writing was flawless, every thread tied together, every arc resolved with masterful precision. It made sense. And yet, when he reached the final chapter, his world collapsed. It was a tragedy. A selfless sacrifice. One life given to save countless others. A "Bitter-Sweet" ending, the community called it. Matt was devastated. He raged at a world—both fictional and real—that could demand such a price from a character he loved so deeply. “I hate bad endings,” he whispered through clenched teeth. As though responding to his grief, his phone flickered. A soft light bloomed across the screen, forming words he had never seen before, yet somehow he understood it. How do you think it should have ended? Stunned, confused, barely conscious of his own voice, Matt answered from the depths of his heart: “I would be there for him. I’d support him, be his anchor—his start and his release. His companion. His ally. I owe him at least that much.” The light paused for a long, breathless moment. Then it replied: Don’t fail this time. And Matt’s world began to change.

Supreme Parasite

This is a story of a strange entity. An entity, which by all accounts, should not exist in this world. And yet, it does. When this entity attempts to latch on to you, you better pray that your mind is strong enough to resist. If it succeeds, you must fight with everything your soul has to offer. But it will not fight you head on. It will trick you. And once you give in, it will infest you! At that point... it is already too late. You are at its mercy, even if you do not realize it. Your thoughts? They will naturally align with its goals. Your appearance? The entity will put it to good use. Your power? In service of the entity! Your identity? You don't have one anymore. Your life? Hahaha. You are a mere pawn, to be discarded once you've served your purpose. This entity is a Parasite. But not just any parasite. It is one-of-a-kind. Unique! Its unconventional methods are nigh impossible to resist. Its origin is shrouded in mystery. Its future is impossible to predict. You would do well to remember. The entity isn't just any parasite. It is a SUPREME PARASITE! ---------------------- Author here, let me set aside my dramatic hat for a bit and give you a more grounded synopsis of what to expect. First and foremost, this is not a story about fighting a powerful parasite. The main character IS the parasite. The story takes place in an alternate earth. Magic suddenly appeared one day and devastating changes took place all over the planet. The start of the story is AFTER humanity re-established civilization. So, this isn't exactly an apocalypse story. Magic (Magicians, spell casting etc...) is the main and only system of power. Personally, I think I've fleshed it out quite nicely but I'd like you, the reader, to be the judge of that. As a parasite, the MC will end up moving from one host to another throughout the course of the novel. These hosts and other side characters will be connected to each other in various interesting ways :) MC's self-awareness will be a bit low at the start. But it won't take too long for him to become fully aware of his true nature. With that, I think I've said enough. Give the story a read to know more ;)
