ArkVerma

Jobless. Orphaned. Rejected by every company in town—Noah's life had hit rock bottom.

And just when he thought things couldn't get any worse… he died in an accident.

Or so he thought.

> [Congratulations, Host!!]



Reborn into Elarion’s Crown—the fantasy RPG he obsessed over as a teen—Noah finds himself not as the hero, not the villain, but a complete nobody.

An extra. A forgotten side character no one remembers.

But armed with knowledge of the game’s story, mechanics, and secrets, Noah begins to rewrite his fate—and the fate of a world that never paid him any attention.

Extra's Rise In Elarion

We left the mansion at sunrise. I gave my parents and Layla a final wave before turning toward the cold stretch of road ahead.

The wind was sharp, not enough to bite, but enough to remind us that we were heading north—towards the Kapi Mountains.

The landscape transformed as we progressed, the lush green fields gave away to thinning tress, and the temperature dropped as we climbed.

The first few hours passed without anything interesting. Just the crunch of boots over half-frozen dirt and the distant rustle of forest life. The cold air grew heavier the closer we got to the base of the mountains. Mist clung to the trees like a thin veil, and silence took over.

That's when we ran into our first trouble.

A low growl echoed from the bushes. Then came the wolves—four of them, feral and lean, eyes glowing faintly.

The knights instinctively reached for their swords, but I raised a hand.

They paused, watching quietly as I stepped forward. Nobody argued. They knew what I could do.

I drew my blade and took a breath. Then, Flash Step.

I was in front of the first wolf before it could react. One clean slash—its head hit the ground with a dull thud.

> [You have slain a wolf. +10 EXP]

I turned just in time to see three more charging me. I blocked one with my sword and sent a fireball crashing into the other two. The blast threw them back.

They growled, more cautious now. I didn't give them time to regroup. Another Flash Step, another two heads fell.

The last one turned and bolted. I leapt into the air using Aerogenesis and hurled a fireball down. It didn't even have time to yelp.

[You have leveled up. +2 Skill Points]

I turned back to the group. Sir Ben had a faint grin on his face.

"No matter how many times I see it, still impressive."

The rest of the journey to the mountain base was uneventful. A few beasts, but nothing we couldn't handle. By the second day, the trees started thinning and the path gave way to uneven stone and patches of frost.

By afternoon, we stood at the base of the Kapi Mountains.

From here on, it was all guesswork. There were no roads, no signs. Just rough terrain and cold wind.

"So where exactly are we headed from here?" Sir John asked.

I glanced up the mountain and took a moment to feel the flow of mana. It was faint, but I could sense a pull—like a quiet stream beneath the ground.

"The book said to follow the mana traces," I replied. "I can feel it. This way."

The three knights exchanged glances

"You're the only one here who can track that sort of thing," Sure Leon said "We are just sword arms, no magic between us"

Nodding, I took the lead. The knights followed, their boots crunching behind me.

It wasn't easy. Loose rocks, hidden snow, narrow paths that forced us to move one at a time. Hours passed. The sky started dimming.

"You sure we're not going in circles?" Sir Leon asked.

I didn't stop walking. "We're close."

The mana got thicker with every step. And then, finally, we saw it—half-hidden behind a thick curtain of frost and vines.

"We've arrived," I said, stepping closer.

There was something odd about the air around it. Not just cold—still, quiet, almost watchful.

Even the knights, who couldn't sense magic, could feel something odd there.
