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

After all that enthralling display, what remained was a suffocating silence hanging over the battlefield. It was thick with the disbelief of everyone who had just witnessed what had happened.

Water sloshed against the some rock formations and the boats, wind whispered and wailed softly, but both sounds were faint, overshadowed by Deremiah's action.

He had taken control of a Stone Sentinel.

Elora's eyes were locked onto Deremiah, narrowed with her eyes quivering. In this gaze, after seeing everything he had just done, she came to realize something.

Deremiah had corruptive abilities.

The evidence was undeniable. She had seen it with her own eyes: the way the monstrous stone warrior had been completely covered by that purple substance he controls, and it had bowed in respect to him.

It was like its once-mindless bloodlust had been completely tamed and repurposed under his command.
