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 swings her halberd, but I was already standing on another sword.

She repeatedly attacks, only to hit empty air.

Opening the crack produces noise. Mother Mash can locate me with it.

But that works only if I open one crack at one time.

Cracks appear at random places to confuse Mother Mash.

With only a single weapon, she can't attack many places at once.

'Good. She is losing her composure. Only a little more.'

"Are you thinking of going on the defensive until the smokescreen lifts?"

"So, what? Aren't you also using these petty tricks? Do you think you stand a chance after the smokescreen is lifted?"

Mother Mash roared back at my provocation.

I smiled, knowing that she was beginning to get nervous.
