The Extra Hero

I was living a pretty normal life until I was struck by lightning and died. But unexpectedly, I reincarnated. Not only that, but I reincarnated in a novel I read... as an extra named Ian Wyzen. At first, I thought everything was normal until I realized... "Why does this guy have a Hero title?" ... the extra whose body I reincarnated into seemed to be a Hero.

Heaven

Lying in the bed, I wondered about the things that had just happened in my life.

Breaking up with my girlfriend. Nothing much.

Dying. Didn't have much time to experience.

Reincarnating. Shocked.

Reincarnate in the novel. Excited.

Reincarnated as an extra who conveniently happened to be a hero. Tell me if it isn't bullshit.

But still, I felt excited. After all, this was a fantasy world, and who would deny reincarnating in a fantasy world? Unless one has extreme possessions or something or someone important in the past world, you would not feel much. And I had none.

Clearing my thoughts, I glanced at the panel again.

STATUS

Name: Ian Wyzen

Title(s): Hero of ~!@#$%^&*

Blessing: Blessing of ~!@#$%^&*

Realm: Phantasmal (Middle)

Trait(s): [Adaptability]

Skill(s): [Fire Ball] [Earth Chains] (Expand to see)

God Skill(s): [$%@#$@#] [@#!@$@#$] [World Crafting]

At first, I thought I was hallucinating, but it took me only a second to accept the truth.

'How the hell is an extra who is not even mentioned once a Hero?' I complained. 'What bullshit is happening with me?'

A Hero was not a simple title in this world, Heaven.

Heaven has a total of seven empires, each having a land mass many times greater than the world I was in. Each of these empires worshipped a certain God who they followed, and each time Heaven faces destruction, Heroes appear to save the world.

So, only seven Heroes exist, each representing one of The Seven Great Gods.

But where the hell did this guy appear from? Did he drop from the sky? And why is this crucial information hidden?

My headache increased thinking about the long list of questions whose answers I didn't have.

'Deep breaths.'

I dispersed my thoughts and looked at another panel that just appeared.

{

World Crafting:

--> Allows to temporarily create a world based on your desires.

}

'Hmmm... It is somewhat like I remember.' My eyes narrowed. 'But I am too weak to use this.'

[World Crafting] was a defense-like God Skill that every Hero had.

It is a cheat skill that, if perfectly mastered, could make someone the God of the world they create, though that's just a theory pushed to its limits.

As for what God Skill is?

These are the skills bestowed by the Gods upon their chosen Hero.

Each Hero could only have three God Skills, nothing more, nothing less.

Each God Skill was a cheat that could make them an overpowered protagonist of a story.

Like there was a God Skill that allowed a person to be Immortal.

In the literal sense, even if you remove every atom of his body, destroy his soul, he will always revive with his memories and experience. Not only that, the Skills he learned, the Bloodline or Physique he had, will only continue to stack up.

Tell me it isn't overpowered.

The only downside is that his Realm will drop to the beginning, and most of his Skills, Bloodline, and Physique will be sealed, only being unsealed over the course of time.

But he can just stay in seclusion and do nothing but eat, and the next time he comes out, he will be one of the strongest in the world.

As for who has it?

It is not the protagonist.

But the main thing is, 'If I go a normal route in this world, my death is inevitable.'

With that thought in my mind, I brainstormed my brain for what to do.

I had about a week before The Heavenly Academy begins.

The Heavenly Academy, the greatest academy in the world, managed by all the seven continents, is where geniuses attend. This is also where the protagonist and other main characters are attending. And conveniently, the extra whose body I am in is also supposed to attend this academy.

But I have to do something in this remaining week.

I could not sit doing nothing.

I brainstormed everything and recalled many important things until something clicked in my mind.

'...yes. 'That' could work.' My expression turned thoughtful. 'Even though a gamble, if it worked, the advantages are countless.'

'I have to get 'that' thing.'
