I am an extra. That is an undeniable fact. As a mere extra in a fantasy world filled with sparkling heroes, charming princesses, and mysterious antagonists, my existence is merely to serve as a backdrop for them. But I, Arkan, will not remain silent! Why be satisfied with being ordinary, when I can be extraordinary?

In this world, I might be just a herb shopkeeper who doesn't even get to be in the main dialogue. But somehow, my life began to change after I accidentally obtained an Artifact That Extra Characters Should Not Be Able to Have.

Now, with a power that invites more trouble than anything else, I struggle to avoid the attention of the main characters... or steal their attention?

But I couldn't lift my gaze to meet theirs.

The voice of my father, Duke Astoria, rumbled like thunder through the chamber. I lifted my head, meeting the piercing blue eyes of the man who stood at the base of the grand staircase. His gaze was sharp, his expression brimming with expectations I felt I could never meet.

"Prove you are worthy of this family."

His words were succinct, but their weight bore down on me like an unrelenting storm.
