I died.

But unlike the death I was expecting, I received a piece of good news and bad news.

Good News: I reincarnated!

Bad News: I reincarnated inside my favorite novel!!! 

You are asking me why this is bad news?

That is because... 

In this world, even the main cast was going to die halfway through the story! 

The only character who won't die no matter what was the protagonist.

And of course, I wasn't the protagonist. 

Nor was I the character who had a special background to make you think of him as a hidden protagonist. 

Give me a break alrea-

Am I smiling?

The Extra's Odyssey

---(Around the time Miller's match is about to start) ---

"It..*chew*really doesn't*chew* tastes like anything."

I spoke while finishing an Iota-rank Aether core.

In the novel, it was said that cores taste different depending on where they came from.

Guess I couldn't taste them due to the skill. Maybe it was directly absorbing the core before I could taste anything?

While I was trying to taste the core there was a nail-sized reddish-black orb hovering above my finger.

I focused on the orb. Its size increased, becoming as large as my head.

Since I couldn't change the density of fused orb to control its output, as changing density needed different ratios of combinations and it was dangerous to try without prior training, I was trying to control the size of the orb to control the output.
