Forteller

Being the author of the breakout novel, Gates of The Primordials, Jarren Fletcher did not care about the constant critiques claiming he had a habit of treating extra characters as mere plot devices, creating and then dumping them once they’d served their purpose.

To Jarren, it didn’t matter. Extras were just that—extras. All that mattered was the main character.

But Jarren never expected to wake up in his own story, reincarnated as one of the meaningless, disposable extra characters, Deremiah Morcant—a coward who took his own life to escape the perilous challenges of the Gate Trials.

Now, Jarren has to face those deadly challenges himself in the body of a weak, insignificant extra. He must find a way to survive in the rules of the dangerous world he had created, whilst also trying to save it. 

But time is running out. The next Wave is coming, and so are the paragons.

The Author Reincarnated As An Extra

Standing on a clearing stretched wide and bordered by the glowing plants, Deremiah waited for Elora to begin whatever it was she was planning to teach him.

She appeared to be sizing him up as she pondered, perhaps trying to decide on a way to teach him how to fight. Deremiah's figure as she saw it, was very fitting for a good fighter.

He was at least 6 ft 2, with a tight lean frame and a figure eleven. However, he lacked combat skill, knowledge, battle IQ and experience. Teaching him as much as she could before Dawn was the approach.

"Have you been in a fight before?" she asked him.

Deremiah lifted his brows at her questioning gaze, and answered, "No. Not really," in a nervous manner. It was one of the few truths he had told.

Elora seemed surprised by the answer. She tilted her head to the side, face softening with the realization. "You're a slummer. I assumed that you would have at least ran into a fight at least once in your life."
