In a novel, who's the most pitiful exitance? One would say the Hero, others would say the Villain. Many would also say it's the mobs. But rarely would ever say it's the Second lead. However, Horas Spencer would beg to differ.

An ordinary man before, he gets reborn into a 5-year-old body of the second main lead of a novel he wrote a long time ago. The only catch? He's not only the protagonist's brother but also the Second main lead. Now the only one who knows the truth of this new world he had been reborn in, Horas Spencer has one goal in mind - to make sure he interacts as little with the main story as possible.

But to escape the fate of being the Second Main Lead is not easy and the challenges that Horas would have to face are many. Not to mention, find a way back to his real world where he had a decent life and family waiting for him. For that to happen, he would play various roles, even that of a Villain. Just as long as he could go home in one piece.

However, the mystery of this new world might be tougher to crack than Horas first expected it to be. And the shadow of being the 'Second best' is not easy to overcome.

Surviving as the Second Main Lead: Second Lead's POV

“I would like to welcome everyone and thank you all for joining the scent club as well. I know we are a small group and we do not have many resources, but we will still try our best to help you all develop.” 


Emma watched as the club president gave his speech. He was so cool and calm as he spoke about passion and following one’s dreams. 


Emma looked around for Horas but Horas was nowhere to be seen. Emma tried not to be too disappointed by this since it was a given, he would not be here. Horas was not even a part of this club. 


‘Do not be a fool and expect Horas to follow you around. It was a coincidence, a one-time thing that Yohan was here. Do not expect this to keep on happening.’ 


Emma shook her head to clear the misunderstanding. She could not let her feelings blind her from the truth she knew. 


“Aww, Horas did not come in the end.” 


“I guess he got bored of this club in the end. And I wanted to see him as well to confirm his feelings for me.”
