Reborn as an Extra

"S-Stop talking nonsense, father! And say why have you summoned me already!?" (Lia)

"…" (James)

"Wh-what!? Why are you making a face as if you are about to cry!?" (Lia)

"It has been so long since you called me father!! How can I not cry!?" (James)

"Wh-wha… I didn't say anything! You are just imagining stuff!" (Lia)

Remembering about the photo his subordinate gave him earlier, James was feeling a bit happy in his heart. He was able to see his daughter laughing after so long in that photo and today Lia even called him 'father'. All because of that boy:

"Sigh~, in the end, should I accept him as my son-in-law….." (James)

After hearing this Lia's face immediately became red:

"Wha-wha-what the heck are you talking about!? Who would marry that stinky guy! Not to mention he is a training maniac and is so untalkative!" (Lia)

"Oh! What a coincidence!? Aren't you two rather similar then!? Could it be a match made in heave-" (James)

Lia blushed even more and her face became as red as a tomato:

"Oh! come on! I am leaving!" (Lia)

"Okay, okay wait! I will talk about the main thing now, stop!" (James)

Hearing him say that he will stop talking nonsense Lia reluctantly stopped from running away:

"Th-then say it already, I have to train, humph" (Lia)

'She resembles her mother so much when she gets angry, sigh~' (James)

James shook his head and decided to get serious now:

"So, the main thing that I wanted to say is" (James)

"hmm?"  (Lia)

"Bring that boy Rio with you this weekend to meet me, I have to talk to him about something" (James)

"Wha, why would I bring him though!?" (Lia)

"Just do as I say" (James)contemporary romance

"But-" (Lia)

"No Excuses, just bring him here, otherwise I will go myself" (James)

"O-okay, but why do you want to meet him?" (Lia)

"I have to fulfil the promise which I did to an old friend of mine" (James)

Lia got confused but, in the end, she agreed to this brazen request, and left for her own room. After Lia left James butler who was quite until now suddenly said:

"Master, are you really going to give 'that' to him?" (Butler)

Hearing the butler's question, James just nodded his head and spoke in a rather calm voice:

"Yeah, 'it' belongs to him anyway…" (James)

Jold district, Arte's starwatching tower.

Rio looked at the sky and after a few seconds a faint and hazy figure of a star appeared in the sky. Although there was still some time for the sun to fully set down but this star can be seen without much problem.

'It's time' (Rio)

After a few second the thing Rio was waiting finally came:

[You have discovered the entrance to the hidden floor of the Arte's tower]

[Would you like to enter?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes" (Rio)

Suddenly, a blinding light enveloped Rio's whole body and as the light slowly started to fade away, Rio's figure also disappeared from where he was before.

Unlike the teleportation magic where mana and mana circles are needed to carryout teleportation this method only involves a set mechanism and a medium to teleport an individual from one place to other.

The star and the tower both are the part of the set mechanism capable of teleporting anyone standing at the roof to the hidden floor, while the individual's body is the medium through which this teleportation occurs.

This method has actually long been lost during early times since the arrival of mana in this world. Nowadays this method is just recorded in the legends and myths, only history lovers Like Kira know about its legends and myths. Most of the world don't even have any idea about its existence.

.

.

When Rio opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a dilapidated library of some kind.

'It really is a unique experience to travel through a method which is considered only be possible in legends' (Rio)

He looked around for a while and found that most of the books here are still in good condition just like it was described in the novel. But since Rio knew that these books are written in some kind of different language which he can't understand at all. Only someone with great knowledge can do so, like Kira.

'Well, according to the novel these books all contain historical records which are not really much interesting for me anyway' (Rio)

Although for history lovers this place is just like heaven, for him this is simply a waste of time. He shook his head and started to walk around in order to find the biggest book-shelf in this library. After a while he finally found it.

He then started to look for a book with the label of a dead dragon whose head is pierced by a spear with a mark of a star on it. The shelf being so big it contained about 100 books due to which it took about a few minutes for Rio to find this book.

After Rio finally found it, he picked the book and started to walk towards the statue in the center of this library. This statue is a resemblance of a great individual who was once know by the nickname of 'the most knowledgeable man in the world: Dirham'. Obviously, Rio just read about it in the novel he doesn't knew the history at all.

Rio placed the book in the empty hands of the statue in a holding posture. As if a certain mechanism has been activated, Rio then again walked towards the book-shelf and tried to slide the it on the side. Surprisingly it opened rather smoothly, without using much strength.

A small room appeared in Rio's sight. He walked in without hesitation and as he had expected a pure white colored stone was floating in mid-air, while the whole room was empty.

Rio didn't care looking around he already knew there's was nothing of interest except this stone. He directly grabbed the stone and started to direct his mana in the stone.

[Perfect-Rank Enhancement Stone discovered!]

[effects: unknown]

[Would you like to use it?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes" (Rio)

The stone disappeared slowly and crumbled into dust particles, while a steady and warm flow of energy poured in Rio's body from the stone. The warm energy made Rio feel extremely comfortable and relaxed, it started to spread all over Rio's and slowly the warm energy disappeared as if never existed in the first place.

After the warm energy disappeared Rio felt that his body has become much stronger than before:

[Perfect-rank Enhancement Stone Absorbed successfully!]

[The hidden attributes; Resistances, perception, reaction speed etc. all improved significantly]

[Your skill 'Body strengthening' has been promoted from C+ to B- successfully]

[Your resistance to physical and magical damage increased!]

'As expected, it really was a good choice that I came here.' (Rio)

After getting familiar with his strengthened body, Rio then walked towards the place where the stone was floating before. He then touched the ground with his hand and put channeled some mana in the ground, a teleportation circle lit up and Rio was directly transported back to the topmost floor of the Arte's tower.

Just as Rio was about to relax a bit, he suddenly felt danger from behind. He directly moved away at an extremely fast speed. Looking back, he found that huge ogre was standing there and its enormous and heavy club had destroyed the floor where Rio was previously standing.

Obviously, that was an attack with the intention to kill. Rio was surprised for a bit but then his mind became calm for a bit his hand unconsciously slid towards his sword but unfortunately there was no sword hanging on his waist.

'I forgot, it broke during my fight with Link, such bad luck, sigh~' (Rio)

The ogre didn't give Rio any time to think it directly carried out its next attack and fortunately Rio dodged it too. The ogre is just too slow even if it continues to attack, it will never be able to even touch Rio's hair at all.

'But this is not a permanent solution…" (Rio)

Seeing that the little human was so slippery and was able to dodge its every attack the ogre became even more angry and its face have a human-like irritated expression.

'Oh, I didn't know that monsters can make such expressions too, a new discovery, indeed.' (Rio)

The ogre suddenly started to move faster maybe it was due to some skill which made it go berserk and increased its speed too.

'Should I finish this now, let's finish it, there's no point dragging this…' (Rio)

Rio used his mana to look inside his spatial ring and suddenly brought out an ordinary wooden stick, yeah, an ordinary wooden stick:

[Sword Aura: Sword Enhancement!]

[Lightning Strike!]

Rio flicked the stick slightly and the ogre stopped moving, after a while its head fell down followed by its body.

'I wish Lia was here to see how cool I am, sigh~' (Rio)
