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?

Don't Want to Be Ordinary Even Though I'm an Extra Character

Two days of discussing military structure with Arkan should have given me a clear idea of what to do. However, reality was far from that simple. Today, I had interviewed more than ten mercenary candidates, and only two met the standards. Even then, I accepted them begrudgingly, as while they were skilled, their asking price was absurdly high.

Damn it, you people have no shame!

I walked through the city streets with heavy steps, trying to calm my frustration. Arkan's territory was indeed developing, but that didn't justify these mercenaries' greed. Three people, including myself, wouldn't be enough to establish a military foundation. We needed at least five to start, yet every candidate I met only added to my headache.

Should I just recruit anyone I could find? No way! If I did that and Arkan found out, he would surely be disappointed.
