Reborn as an Extra

(At the end of this chapter has some insights on what the current situation would have been if Rio hadn't altered the original plot, read it with your own caution, because we are talking about Fade here, so brain rot is possible!)

...

Time passed slowly and after a few hours, Al was successfully able to ascend, moreover, due to the help of the sudden epiphany he seemed a bit stronger than usual newly ascended S-rankers from the get-go.

Al opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face after a long time.

The original haggard and tired look on his face seems to have disappeared all now and his vitality has soured to a new level.

The weak and fragile aura that lingered around him earlier has solidified at this time and he has become a genuine S-ranker now.

'Sigh, it was wasting my time on alcohol and worldly things, I would have progressed more if I hadn't resorted to self-blame...' (Al)

Al could also feel it now.

The reason why he wasn't progressing was because of his own mentality.

Due to being in depression, he ended up resorting to heavy drinking and going to various clubs.

His reputation of being a scumbag spread because he got in trouble with several people in the clubs after being high on alcohol.

Loss of reputation further pushed him deeper into the abyss of depression, eventually causing harm to his progress.

Just when Al was busy thinking about various things in his head, his parents rushed over to check on his condition.

Only after confirming that Al had safely ascended did they both heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing such a concerned look on their faces for him, Al felt ashamed in his heart.

He rarely meets his parents these days as they are busy at work, thus he has built up resentment for them, but now that he saw their concerned looks he realized that it was all just his own idiocy.

His parents never really stopped caring for him, they were just too busy. This realization finally caused the heavy burden of negative feelings in his heart to disappear.

"You really were careless this time, if we hadn't taken action on time, the mana storm caused by your ascension could have troubled a lot of civilians..." (Ryul)

"But I guess it's okay, after all, no one was harmed anyway, so congratulations on becoming an S-ranker..." (Ryul)

"Although you will have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities from now on, this major breakthrough is still a great thing!" (Ryul)

"I will be more than happy to help get rid of some burden from your shoulders, Father..." (Al)

Syvis patted Al's head and smiled.

"Our son has grown up, it's a moment worth celebrating... I will make a handmade cake for today!" (Syvis)

"Oooh! Nice" (Ryul)

"Good!" (Al)

While the three were having a happy family time, Ashtel and Jin stood nearby silently.

"Ahem, I think I should excuse myself now..." (Ashtel)

"y-Yeah, I too..." (Jin)

They both didn't want to become a distraction when those three were enjoying their family time, so they simply excused themselves and left hurriedly.

...

Rio's room.

Unconcerned about all the chaos that he had created, Rio was sipping tea at this moment while watching TV.

'As I thought, he broke through easily...' (Rio)

Rio sensed that the mana in the surrounding calmed down after the massive mana storm disappeared, thus he knew that Al must have broken through by now.

The reason why Rio thought about taking this step was simple.

'If possible I would like to enjoy the scenery here for a longer time...' (Rio)

...

According to the novel.

Fade and Kira would have been the only two people to have arrived at the meeting from humanity's side as all talented people like Link, Liam, Ellie, and Riya would have been dead by now.

Lia would have already become a subordinate of the demon king after going through demonization and thus would have been on the wanted list.

Those who defect to the demon race become international criminals and are hunted down by all races.

Moreover, Rio would have been a simple extra in the story, he would have already been expelled from the academy by the end of the first year.

He would have never met, James and thus never would have known about his father's mysterious past. His life would have been very ordinary but peaceful.

(Fun Fact: If Rio had left the academy early on when he had just transmigrated into this world, he could have fulfilled his dream of living a peaceful life, but then he couldn't have met Lia…)

In the original plot, Fade would have taken Kira to the nightclub to party and spend some quality time. (Yeah, Elves also have clubs… they are not that primitive in terms of technology…)

But then the dead drunk side-kicks of Al would try to flirt with Kira, Fade would get angry and face-slap them all.

Then those side-kicks will invite their dead drunk boss Al out to force Fade to apologize but as Fade is the protagonist how could he say the word 'Sorry', where would his face go if he apologized?

Thus he would shout and swear that if he didn't kill them all today then he wouldn't be a human being, after some casual cursing the two sides would fight.

Al being weak and fragile due to the broken 'path' problem, while still being dead drunk will lose immediately and then his side-kicks will shout that he is the son of the Elf king and Fade should apologize for hitting him.

Then Fade would get even angrier at those words, he would say 'Even if the elf king came today, he must also kneel in front of me and beg for forgiveness!'

Things would escalate and the side-kicks would retreat with their fainted boss while swearing to take revenge on Fade.

Then Fade and Al will have a fight in the tournament as Fade would directly challenge him in front of the whole stadium.

Al will lose but Fade will go one step ahead and will directly kill Al right in front of the Elf king.

And then the usual routine of chasing and killing will follow.

By this time Ashtel, and Raji both would have been ten feet under the ground, so the one who took Fade to the meeting would have been Neo alone, he would have suffered the wrath of Ryul and Syvis and would have gotten injured.

Fade's carelessness would cause the demise of the good relations between the Elves and the humans.

Then war starts, and humans suffer under the onslaught of the elven armies.

You must keep in mind that by this point there would have been no SS-ranker to protect the human empire, Jin would have never even ascended to rank SS in the first place so don't even bother thinking about him.

Then Fade slowly rises to power over the years and contributes a lot to the war, he would have become the savior, the hero of the human race revered by all.

Eventually, he would have killed Ryul and Syvis, and after defeating the Elven army, he would be considered the strongest person in the world. (Syvis refused to become his woman so he killed her…)

People will treat him as a celebrity even and will forget about the fact that he was the one who started the war in the first place.

No one will say bad things about him as the aura of a protagonist is no joke.

By this time Fade would have a harem of at least fifty women.

Yes, it's not even a joke, every son of the heavens is born as the most handsome guy, you don't expect Fade to be ordinary in looks, do you?

Fade actually found a beautifying technique from the system store, which made him more handsome than even Link in the future.

People like Rio who are just ordinary in looks don't even stand a chance in front of Fade's handsomeness!

'As for that elf princess… I didn't even have to read the novel to guess what happened…' (Rio)

She gets love-struck by Fade at the very first sight and ends up being the one to reveal all the secrets of the elven army to Fade, thus causing the collapse of her own empire under Fade's deliberate manipulation.

Technically, she helped Fade kill her parents and destroy the Elven Empire.

'Instead of Al who is rumored to be a scumbag, I would rather want to stay away from that two-faced princess…' (Rio)

Rio wanted to stay away from the princess, but he didn't take into consideration one key thing, and that was, that Fade wasn't even an A-ranker now, and the princess was already a peak A-ranker.

So it's going to be impossible for Fade's protagonist aura to affect her at this point.

(The best way to avoid being influenced by the protagonist's aura is either you become stronger than the protagonist… or you kill the protagonist…)

The reason why Rio hasn't killed Fade yet is because he is still uncertain and also he has a use for him.

'I have no idea how the heavens will react if Fade died…' (Rio)
