[11:30 AM]
The school was boring.
It had nothing special on it; it was outright boring.
I was sitting in the cafeteria alone, chomping down food for lunch.
There were a lot of students who ca to the cafeteria. The food here was cheap and delicious. That was the only reason why students chose to eat at the cafeteria instead of the restaurant outside the Academy.
We were free to eat outside. The Academy was rather lax in rules.
Also, as I had expected…
'I was avoided, huh?'
No one sat at the table with even though there were five empty chairs.
The students glanced at once or twice, but no one was willing to sit near . That was until that guy appeared.
"Hey! Can we sit here?" A cheerful voice greeted from behind.
I glanced back over and saw Zaiden brought a bowl of food, and there was the first heroine, Mirana, beside him.
"Hey, Zaiden. Are you sure you want to sit here? You know that he's a delinquent, right?" Mirana whispered to Zaiden, but I could hear her because my hearing was enhanced when my body was reford.
"He's not that bad, Mirana. Maybe the rumor about him was false? I an, he looks like a friendly guy." Said Zaiden.
My mood turned sour. Once again, I was reminded that this guy was not my real main character.
I wanted to lash at him and punch him for being close to the heroines, but I couldn't do that. My plan required to be friendly with him as Vincent.
If he had changed the damn personality of the main character, he wouldn't get suspicious if I, an Extra, were friendly towards him.
"Yeah, sure. You can sit there." I pointed at the chairs in front of with my thumb.
"Ah! Thank you. I can't find an empty seat, so it's a lifesaver." Zaiden sat in front of and put his bowl down on the table.
Mirana seed to be a bit hesitant, but she ultimately sat beside Zaiden while glaring at .
"You, are you always like this?" She asked suspiciously.
"What do you an?" I asked her back, "No one ever talked to and just branded as a delinquent when what I did in school was limited to sleeping in the class."
Mirana didn't seem to believe , "But there is a rumor about you. Sothing like you sent people who made you mad to the hospital."
Hmm? Was there really a rumor like that?
I didn't know anything as I had no mories of Vincent. I really wanted to know the past behavior of Vincent too, for god's sake. But my information now was limited, and seeing the backstory that I wrote for Vincent.
There was no way he would send people to hospitals.
"That's not true," I answered Mirana and continued eating.
Vincent was an unfortunate guy in the backstory that I wrote for him. He lost his parents at the sa ti the protagonist lost his childhood friend.
Not only that, he lost them in the sa monster outbreak too.
I wanted to add so relation between Vincent and Zaiden, which would beco why Vincent wished to stop the main character from saving the last heroine.
"That's not true? Then why do the rumors about you never stop?"
Even though I wrote about her personality as a curious one, she was rather annoying in the real world. So I decided to ignore her.
"Hey, I am talking to you!"
"Mirana, maybe you should stop at that. You are bothering Vincent." Said Zaiden.
"If you say so…" Muttered Mirana ekly.
He then turned to and smiled, "My apologies for that, Vincent. Please forgive Mirana. She was just curious."
"No offense taken," I answered Zaiden shortly before continuing to eat my al.
Mirana stopped bothering after Zaiden stopped her; it was good. The calm atmosphere was back. Zaiden and Mirana were talking to each other, ignoring my presence.
Because I was a bit irritated when seeing them like that, I wolfed down my al and stood up in less than five minutes.
"Ah!" Zaiden let out a gasp when I stood up. I didn't know why he did it, but I began to walk out of the cafeteria with my hands in my pocket.
I had a frown on my face; it was irritating after all. Even though I tried to be as friendly as possible towards Zaiden, I couldn't do it with sincerity.
If only he was my real main character, maybe I would help him save the world. But, his look was that of a clueless person right now, and I sohow hated it.
'Tsk! Should I just kill him and save the world myself?'
That was the fastest way to do it, but I can't do that.
The reason was simple; I was not the main character.
When I was lost in my thoughts and exited the cafeteria, I heard a clear voice from my side.
"Hey! There you are, Zaiden!"
From the edge of my sight, I saw the owner of that voice.
A clear blond hair danced in the sky, and athyst eyes shone like a gem. I stopped in my tracks and looked at the owner of the voice with my mouth gaped.
'No way…'
The voice owner was a girl, a truly beautiful girl with a big smile on her face, waving her hand towards Zaiden.
"Ah, Lily, here!" Zaiden's shout followed; he was calling a na that was too familiar to .
I couldn't help but be surprised.
'Why is she here?!'
My eyes widened as I couldn't understand what had happened right now.
The girl, Lily, seed to notice my gaze as she turned her head to , "Hmm? Do I know you?" she asked.
'No, that appearance. And that na, there is no way she's here at this ti.'
"No, I am just surprised by your shout," I answered her as calmly as possible.
Her mouth opened a little, and she put her hand in front of it, "Ah! I'm sorry for shouting near you."
"It's no problem. Just be careful next ti."
"Yes, once again, sorry!" She clapped her hand to before running towards Zaiden.
I left the cafeteria hastily while my mind raced, trying to find out why she was there.
'That bastard. Did he gain his mories when he was a child?!'
The possibility was so slim that I never thought about it. From what I saw on the internet last night while going around the casino, the world still hadn't changed at all.
A lot of guilds were still trying to clear the dungeons, there was no news about the organization that opposed the main character yet. So I thought that Zaiden just ford a harem in the Academy without changing the story too much.
If she was really here, then the story was already derailed from the original one from the start.
'I can't waste any more ti.'
She was here.
The one who was supposed to die was here.
The key to the story was sohow alive, and it made my hypothesis of Zaiden being a reincarnator to be true.
"Fuck!" I shouted in the hallway that was filled with students. They turned to look at , but I ignored them and walked faster.
He was a reincarnator.
Zaiden had his mories of the story since he was a child.
He did sothing foolish. He saved the last heroine, the only reason why he wanted to get stronger.
Maybe the reincarnator read until volu 29, where I explained about the monster outbreak that happened when he was a child. He may have thought that he would at least save the girl close to him in his childhood without realizing that she was the last heroine.
Lily Sonava. The last heroine in my novel 'The Awakener's Dead Harem.'
She was Zaiden's childhood friend as well as the key character for the ending of the novel.
'I can't really waste my ti again. I need to get my second identity faster.'
If I didn't make a move right now, then the future would beco problematic.
'Fuck you, Zaiden.'
I just wanted to enjoy this world while playing around at first. Then I saw him having fun. I thought of playing with him and gave him so despair to make him stronger.
However, the story was different when the last heroine was still alive and close to Zaiden.
That girl, without her being there, then that place would move faster. Except…
'Soone else takes her place. And I don't know who that soone is.'
The only thing I could do right now was to create my second identity faster and look for information from all around the world.
'I swear I will get back at you when you leave this Academy, Zaiden. I will make you work hard… hard enough that you wish you didn't change the original story.'

"Zaiden, who was that boy earlier? He looked surprised when he saw ." Lily asked Zaiden as she sat in front of him.
"Hmm? He's Vincent Dihart, our classmate." Answered Zaiden as he looked at Lily.
"Your classmates?" Asked Lily, interested in Vincent that she passed, "He seems interesting." She smiled.
"Lily, it's better if you don't get close to him." Said Mirana seriously.
"Why?" Asked Lily as she tilted her head, "He doesn't seem to be a problem?"
"You didn't hear rumors about him yet? He's a delinquent!" Exclaid Mirana.
"Mirana, I told you that the rumors may be false, right?" Said Zaiden seriously.
"Yeah, but…"
"Hmm, that's interesting." Muttered Lily.
Zaiden heard what Lily muttered about and looked at the exit of the cafeteria.
'Vincent? Who is he? If he's my classmate, then he's an Extra in Awakener's Dead Harem? I never heard of him after all.'
Zaiden was confused. He didn't rember such a character appearing in the novel. He was already here for a long ti, and he had general knowledge about this world.
'I managed to save Lily thanks to the knowledge of the novel. I also managed to get close to the others thanks to that.'
He felt Lily's gaze on him and smiled at her. Lily pursed her lips a little before she smiled again and talked with Mirana.
'I will save them all. I will not let them die…After all… I am a reincarnator. And it's my duty to save them.'
