Extras To Rewrite From Scratch - Chapter 1
Prologue & Extra’s Death Probability (1)
“If I had known this would be the case, I would have just used it my way!”
Regret was overwhelming.
But no one would have thought that this would happen.
To get into a book, you wrote as a hobby.
Maybe it would be nice if I wasn’t treated like a madman when I told someone.
I stared at the system message in front of me.
Still, the text above the system window did not change a single note.
*********”
“Let’s break up. If we keep seeing each other, you and I will only have a miserable life at the bottom? Let’s never meet again anywhere. Take care.”
It was a decisive and concise text, like cleaning out dirty things.
It’s a rough life.
It wasn’t wrong.
However, he did not know he would receive a text message about the breakup.
Do-Hyun’s hand holding the phone trembled.
What did you do with such a miserable bastard?
He wanted to call her right away and ask.
But all those harsh and cold words were definitely true.
He didn’t get a decent job after graduating from a good university like everyone else. He also didn’t get a stable salary by taking the civil service exam like everyone else.
Because he was just an asshole.
Due to family circumstances, he wasn’t even close to graduating from high school.
He struggled to make his dream come true with texts and drawings that were not even worth money.
What’s left at the end?
Do-Hyun’s hand trembled pathologically.
The phone slipped from his trembling hands and fell to the floor.
Bang!
Do-Hyun raised his left hand and barely grabbed his right hand, which was still trembling.
In the end, this is what it looked like.
This happens when a non-talented person has a dream that is too presumptuous.
When fatigue accumulates, accidents are likely to occur.
Do-Hyun was the perfect match.
He had an accident at a construction site where he worked to cover his living expenses.
His right arm was seriously injured in the accident.
His crushed right arm could not return as it had before.
He has been trembling like this when under a little bit of stress or trying to move by force.
With such trembling arms, he could not hold onto his lover, who was about to leave.
It was probably natural to receive a notice that we were breaking up.
“Damn it.”
Do-Hyun tried to get up from his seat.
He was going to pick up the lighter on the table.
But he felt a sharp pain in his back as if stabbed with an awl.
[ Awl: Woodworking tool ]
Even the waist, which had been fine in the previous accident, felt like it got worse.
It was because he had no money and was not properly treated.
An on-site official did not call an ambulance in time to hide the industrial accident.
Do-Hyun sat down on the floor.
He hated the world.
He hated people.
He somehow just wanted to get out of this situation.
But it was impossible.
He had already been driven to the end of his life.
Do-Hyun picked up the soju nearby and drank it at once by pouring it into a paper cup.
He could feel the lukewarm alcohol burning on an empty stomach.
Do-Hyun continued to drink soju as if it were bottled water.
‘Wouldn’t it be bad if I died like this?’
The alcohol-soaked brain kept leaking laughter.
It was then.
“what?”
A strange sight entered Do-Hyun’s eyes.
The screen of the cell phone laid out on the floor was changing at will.
Do-Hyun looked at his phone screen with eyes that couldn’t open properly.
‘Are my posts being deleted?’
What appeared on the screen was a familiar text.
It was a novel written by Do-Hyun alone in a dark room.
It was written to express his boredom, but it was written with a lot of effort over a long period.
So his drunken spirit was awakened.
Do-Hyun quickly grabbed his cell phone.
“What, what is this?! What happened?”
But the bizarre phenomenon did not stop there.
Suddenly, an intense white light cluttered Do-Hyun’s eyes and then disappeared.
It wasn’t just that.
An incomprehensible message spread before his eyes.
Evidently, he was drinking alcohol and looking at things in vain.
Do-Hyun shook his head softly.
He was struggling to come to his senses.
But the strange message remained in front of his eyes.
“What the hell is this… … .”
Do-Hyun muttered in his tongue-twisted voice.
Eventually, the alcohol lowered Do-Hyun’s consciousness into the depths.
He was gradually losing consciousness.
And his memories ended there.
*
Knock! Knock!
A knock was heard, and a nurse entered the room.
“Hello. I’m here to check on the patient’s condition.”
The nurse smiled awkwardly and held out the blood pressure monitor.
It was a familiar face he had seen for four days.
Do-Hyun got up from his seat and put his arms around her.
Even the simple movement made the nurse shutter and shudder.
The gaze of Do-Hyun’s eyes was intense.
It’s as if you’re going to get stabbed if you make a mistake.
After completing the vital check, the nurse quickly made a chart and went outside.
Do-Hyun was a patient who was hospitalized in a special room, and he was treated like nuclear waste.
Do-Hyun sighed and rubbed his forehead.
‘Is this a dream or real?’
It had only been four days before Do-Hyun woke up in this mysterious hospital room.
Unidentified?
Of course, he didn’t really know where this place was.
Do-Hyun looked out of his window.
The hospital room he was admitted to was located on a fairly high floor, so he could enjoy a panoramic view.
Do-Hyun’s gaze was directed towards the pure white structure tucked away in the middle of Seoul.
In reality, where Do-Hyun was, it didn’t exist at all.
A wall of white paper.
Even though it was the first time he had seen it, Do-Hyun could immediately recognize it.
A 100-meter-tall white wall soared into the sky without any decorations.
It was just as he described in the novel.
Only then did Do-Hyun realize.
This place was ‘Dungeon & Monsters’
At first, he wondered if he was crazy after all.
But now, the evidence that this is a reality has surfaced one after another.
His face and body had completely changed, and so was the special room in the hospital where he couldn’t be admitted with his own abilities.
This place was the inside of the novel.
Do-Hyun clasped his head and despaired.
What kind of novel was ‘Dungeon & Monsters?’.
This is a novel written by Do-Hyun as a way to fill his heart.
However, the content of the novel was extremely realistic.
This is because whenever he felt the limits of painting, he vomited out all kinds of resentment in writing.
Therefore, ‘Dungeon & Monsters’ was full of Do-Hyun’s inferiority complex towards talent.
Killing monsters was not the problem in this novel.
It was a society where countless players with monstrous talents competed.
Just as there is a class theory of spoon-and-forth in reality, ‘Dungeon & Monsters’ was also a place where the class consciousness ran at the end of the day.
Even if you enter a novel, there is no problem if you enter the body of a talented protagonist.
It will be a road with a promise of victory.
However, Do-Hyun did not come as the main character of this novel.
It was an extra set as the worst garbage in the novel ‘Dungeon & Monsters.’ He came into the body of Lee Do-Hyun, an extravagant who can’t even find talent.
Inevitably, ‘Lee Do-Hyun’ gets caught up in a large-scale battle fought by the main character, Jo Ja-hyun, and dies.
It was the worst of the worst.
When he was in his midst, he gave his name ‘Lee Do-Hyun’ to an extra who was similar to his situation as if he was helping himself.
Why did you have to set it up with your own name?
Now he has come to regret it.
Had he known this would happen, he would have named the main character after his own!
Lee Do-Hyun, the foolish man of the Mucheonse family.
The Mucheonse family was also at the apex of ‘Dungeon & Monsters’
It was a disgrace that the Mucheonse family’s son did not even awaken as a player.
Therefore, not only the people of the Mucheonsae family but also the general public ignored Lee Do-Hyun.
In the end, the head of the household, Lee Cheol-Jun, performed an awakening operation as a last resort.
It wasn’t for his son Lee Do-Hyun.
It was a choice to maintain his stature.
However, the awakening operation was unsuccessful.
What was left of Mucheonse’s foolish idea was a body that had been devastated in the aftermath of a failed operation.
Do-Hyun smirked.
Although he escaped from the desperate situation of reality, it was Lee Do-Hyun’s body that he came in.
Here and there, he ended up living as an asshole and dying.
His own life had not changed.
