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

[WARNING EVERYONE: A NEW DUNGEON HAS BEEN DETECTED INFORMATION. EVERYONE, KINDLY BE ON STANDBY FOR THE TIME BEING.] 


The warning came out all of a sudden. No one in the parking expected such news and a stunned silence followed. Even the man who had created this dungeon looked shocked as soon as it happened. 


He tried to flee with Emma but Howard noticed it. 


“Hey, where are you going? Give Emma back to me right now.” 


Howard yelled as he followed after the fleeing man. He did not even take notice of the dungeon as his feet carried him behind the kidnapper. How dare he try and kidnap Emma in broad daylight. 


Horas watched it all happen with an impassive face. He knew that his priorities had changed as soon as the dungeon appeared. 


And it did not take long for his communicator to buzz to life and a call to come in from Principal Marbel.
