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

"Aether isn't only used to conjure Techniques, whether long range or short range. They are also used to amplify attacks, augment strength, movements and defense."

Listening closely, Deremiah nodded once. "I saw you leap almost a hundred feet in the air when you were fighting the NeonSquid. Did you use Aether then?"

Wondering at the back of her mind how long Deremiah had been watching, Elora answered, "Yes. Tapping into your Aether reserves and channeling the energy into different parts of your body thoroughly increases the function of that body part."

She lifted her right leg slowly and unassumingly. Then, as Deremiah curiously watched, she spun around in a mini second and struck a giant glowing mushroom that was seemingly out of her reach.

The mushroom tore from its roots with force and flew so far away that it turned to a star in the black sky above.
