Chapter 5 Three Choices, Extra-Character System



►[Host.] 

"What?" Rain asked abruptly.

►[Host has successfully finished Synchronizing.]

"So what?"

Rain was confused. He didn't understand why the system was stating the obvious.

►[Now Host should choose one choice among the following three choices.]

'Oh… '

Hearing this, Rain exclaimed.

'Looks like system has something more Interesting.' Rain was excited to see the choices but he didn't know these choices will change his life.

Soon three choices appeared before him.

►[1. Supporting Character :

Become a friend of the Protagonist. A character who will assist or interact with the protagonist and help to develop the plot or theme of the story.

-Reward: Supporting Character halo,

-Favorability of the protagonist (+30),

-Favorability of all Heroines (+20),

-Beginner fighting skills, Unknown.]

'Hmm. A Supporting Character who buzz around MC.' After reading the first choice Rain had a very mild reaction.

Then Rain saw the next choice.

►[2. Destiny Villain :

Become the Enemy of the protagonist - steal all heroines, and opportunities from him. At last, kill the protagonist.

-Reward: Villain halo,

-The enmity of the protagonist (+20),

-The enmity of all heroines (+10),

-Beginner fighting skills,

-Appraisal skills (Master), Unknown.]

'Villain. This is kinda interesting.' This choice intrigued rain.

Still, Rain saw the last choice given by the system.

►[3. Extra character:

Live a life of an extra character, just go with the flow of the storyline.

-Reward: All character's Favorability (+10),

-Beginner life skills, Unknown.]

Rain was silent after seeing this. Although he was confused why only these three roles and not any other.

For example,

-(Protagonist) - the main character in a story, often the hero or heroine, who drives the plot forward and faces the central conflict or challenge.

- (Mentor) - a wise and experienced character who guides and teaches the protagonist.

- (Foil) - a character who is similar to the protagonist in some ways but contrasts with them in others, highlighting their differences.

- (Stock character) - a character who represents a conventional or stereotypical type, such as the mad scientist or the wise old wizard.

- (Narrator) - the voice that tells the story, either as a character within the story or an omniscient, outside observer.

But he was content with this. After all, it's not like you get to choose choices like this every day.

It would be great if you can also choose what role you want to play in real life

►[NOTE: From the Host's choice, the system will be modified. Host cannot change his choice after choosing it. So please decide after some thinking.

System will give host some tasks and after completing that tasks according to the role. System will also give rewards to the host.]

'Oh, so now, I just have to choose my role. This is the best.' Rain liked this setting. So he started thinking about which choice he should choose.

Just after a few moments…

"Okay. I choose. No.3 Extra character."

►[What? Host, are you serious?

Don't you want heroines by hugging MC's thigh? You can - maybe get one of the heroines or sub-heroine and go to the road of prosperity.]

Even system was surprised by hearing Rain's choice and tried to convince him and change it.

But…

"Hah… Who cares about MC, Heroines, and villains? They can do what they want. I don't care about them. Just make me an extra character." Rain said in a cold tone.

Rain firmly believed in his choice.

Even if System again asks, Rain will still choose Extra-character.

►[Okay. Host is wise.]

►[System is starting modification to Extra-character System.]

►[Approximated time:- 6 hours] 

Hearing about System modification, Rain sighed in relief.

'Good. Now I can relax for some time.'

Rain lied down on his bed and started pondering about the choices of the system.

From these choices, Rain found how devilish the system was. Although the first two choices looked good- in reality, they were very dangerous.

'First. Supporting Character, are you kidding me?' Rain scoffed.

From his opinion, this was the most dangerous position. Most of the villains who came for the main characters will also come for you.

Rain knew he would die if some villain comes at him sometime because now he was quite weak because of some weird nerf.

Even if Rain was still D- rank, it would be still dangerous. There is also the chance that it would destroy the plot line. Not like Rain cared about it, though.

There is also a chance you will be transferred to the Villain camp or sacrificed for the greater good of the protagonist.

Even in every story, supporting characters are often not given as much depth or development as the protagonist or main characters, and may not have their own distinct arc or storyline.

They will have less control over the plot and may be subject to the decisions and actions of the protagonist or other characters, and Rain didn't want that.

So for this choice, it's [No].

For Rain, becoming a supporting character was like walking around with a time bomb.

'Second. Destiny Villain, even from hearing the name, I will refuse. Even if the rewards are good.

In the plot, Rain was a mid-tier villain. But still, he died.

So what about destiny Villain?

What would happen to him? And even if I somehow manage to overthrow the protagonist, which is quite difficult.

What will I get? Revenge?

Even if I want it. It's just a brainless and tiring process.

Furthermore, the plot hasn't even started, though.

And about getting heroines?

They are just hypocritical morons. I don't need them.'

In the end, the Antagonist is the character or force that opposes the protagonist and creates obstacles for them to overcome. Just some stepping stones.

The main reason for not choosing these two choices is that this is just too much work for him.

'From my past life and current life, I never got rest. Even in my current life, I can see how much hard work I had to do to reach D- rank. I just want to rest.'

That's why Rain chose an extra character among the choice. It wasn't only for that reason, though. There are other pros too.

For example, Extras may have the opportunity to work with and meet other characters like hidden characters, villains, or even a character who didn't appear in the story, which can be valuable for building connections in the industry.

He can even go to some Villain's house and drink tea with him. Not like he was going to do that.

Extras may have more flexibility in terms of their storyline, while main characters have to play their part in the story.

However, an extra character is free. He can go anywhere and anytime. Sometimes extra characters can even play some major roles, but only temporarily.

Otherwise he won't be an extra character anymore. 

***

After all these things, Rain was tired.

He didn't want to be bound by the storyline.

'Yeah, screw the storyline.'

Thinking like this, Rain lied down on his bed. Feeling relaxed on his bed, Rain felt his accumulated fatigue decrease.

'Wow. So comfortable.

Good night to my first day in the New world.'
