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

Mother Mash regained her vision and hearing. She looked around but there was no sign of Nathan.

The grid pattern again appears on the arena.

She carefully looks around, holding her halberd closely in case Nathan suddenly attacks, as she walked.

Shortly she shook her head and finally stopped searching.

"You again hid in the ground. So this is why you used the flashbang but-"

"-'[Search]' detects pits and traps too!"

She suddenly smashed her halberd on the ground!

The brown wooden board covering a pit was blasted to bits. The halberd doesn't stop and smashes 'something' hiding inside the pit.

Mother Mash sighed and pulled back the halberd.

"You shouldn't have used the same trick twice."

Nathan, falling from the sky, swings the greatsword in his hand. Mother Mash barely blocks the attack at the last second.
