An Extra’s Tale

\"Compassion. Tell me, what is compassion? Is it a virtue? Or a weakness? A sign of naivety, or wisdom? Or is it one of those ideals that treads the line of ruin and preservation, an unfathomable ideal who\'s understanding surpasses the mortal mind; only being truly understood by the gods. Mortals struggle with it, wielding compassion like a sword from which they use by holding its blade not handle...\"

Growing up Reshi never lived a good life. His life had either been bad or worse, or sometimes just bad waiting to happen.

Then life decided to crank it up a notch. His family died. Then he died. Then he got slapped by a deity and wacked into the world of his new favourite novel.

Here perhaps you maybe thinking he was living a life of riches.


Was he the main character?

Was he living a life of riches and joy?

Was he gifted cheats and powers beyond belief?

Was he a cool extra, loved by others and leading a simple life, only being unfortunately dragged into the plotline due to his outstanding moral. Well, partially.

He definitely wasn\'t loved. Not when he transmigrated into the body of Arthur Gravewalker. The Son of the Duke on the modern world of Pandora where humans settled after leaving Earth hundreds of years ago.

He was a minor antagonist, not even one that appeared in the main story, with at least a couple of chapters outlining his villainous ways!

No, he was some antagonist used to spice up the past of one of the main cast during a flashback scene in the book.

So peace was a thing Reshi wouldn\'t find even in this life. No, he\'d have to work for it. Fight for it, give everything he had to suffer and claw to strength, so that finally.

He might actually be able to live in peace.
