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

-(Past || After Cadmus 'coincidentally' touched Ken's flags; Location: Floor 13)-

Leon felt indescribable emotions welling inside him. He'd been trying to end the competition early by eliminating other classes as well as getting the Bonus-stage reward. It was because, although they were told that the competition will not end before the time limit, the overseers will have no choice but to do so if only a single class is remaining and the bonus reward has been taken.

Leon had all 5 map pieces on himself and told other Katana-Class members to not take a map piece but rather call him if they found one.

However, Cadmus, having touched those map pieces, now had the ownership of 10 pieces. Leon and Cadmus had no choice but to fight to get the bonus stage reward.

Cadmus understood Leon's concerns thus he spoke. "You can eliminate me and take these map pieces from me."
