The Extra Who Wasn't Meant to Exist

He awoke in a body that was not his own, in a world he had never encountered before. He believed that the worst situation he could find himself in would be a dull evening watching a terrible football match. Instead, he discovered he was trapped in the body of a boy named Loki — the closest friend of the protagonist in a book he had never read. He came with a singular fate already scripted for him: to smile, offer support, and ultimately die at the right moment, sacrificing himself to save his friend and evoke a few tears from the readers before they moved on from him. The issue was, no one consulted him. There was no system to provide him with maps. No clues. No prior understanding of what lay ahead. Just a silent status window, weak stats beside his name, and an unusual energy unlike anything this world had ever experienced. While he grinned at everyone, feigned friendship, and gallantly lost his initial battles, he was secretly devising one plan: He would not become the side character who perished for someone else. In a realm of empires and kingdoms, mages and swordsmen, monsters and higher beings, Loki would not be the devoted friend that someone had scripted him to be. He would transform into something this story never anticipated. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Extra Who Wasn't Meant to Exist — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
