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

Deremiah gritted his teeth as he registered the vast distance between both boats. Also, nothing he was going to do would bring the boat he was on closer to theirs.

Like other boats, it kept moving forward on its own, carried by an unseen force and locked in a path toward the unseeable distance.

He looked back at Elora's boat, and saw her still fighting against the Sea Ghosts. The other girl had finally joined in, and it seemed her Technique was something that had to do with a blue magical energy, which she used to create blasts.

Soon, those beasts would completely overrun that boat, leaving Deremiah running out of answers.

If they tried to jump into the water to reach him, they'd be dragged under in seconds by the Sea Ghosts. And even if they somehow made it to his boat, they'd bring the cursed scent from the river with them, making this one just as much of a target.
