Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 10 Influence Of Luck

After the mid-term tests, the next 15 days are without any class schedule. So, most of the students have gone to visit their family or some have gone on a relaxing vacation, Except for me.

'Here I am standing in a C-rank dungeon looking for a chance to carry out a stealing spree, oh! don't mind that pile of dead monsters behind me, they were just weaklings'

So, I was saying that after leaving the café, I booked a ticket for this dungeon named 'Lizard Nest'. It's a C-rank dungeon and now I am looking for the place where I will be able to trigger the hidden mission.

Well as you know extras like me have to find the hidden mission but protagonists can stumble upon them with sheer luck.

'Such terrifying luck.'

If luck was actually a type of attack stat then Protagonists would have been invincible long ago but it's a relief that there's no such thing yet, who knows if there is this world is already unscientific, anyway. I won't be surprised if it was found that a pig has grown wings in this world.

After about half an hour of running, Rio was in front of a massive cave.

'This should be their nest.'

This time fight can't be avoided because in order to get what I need we will have to kill our way inside.

Just as Rio entered, a 3 m-long Lizard covered with scales pounced on him. Its speed is slow but its strength is high, even the ground is cracking beneath it.

'Not to mention this is just a low-ranked one in this nest.'

When the lizard was only 2m away from Rio it's head flew away with the sound of a sword slashing, and that 3m body collapsed on the ground as if a doll losing its strings.

'Hmm, they are still weak though'

Just like this, a great massacre occurred in this nest. Poor lizards were slaughtered like vegetables. About an hour later Rio was already standing in front of the boss's room, he opened the huge door and walked inside.

It was dark in here but then suddenly torches lit the whole place. A huge 5 m-long lizard can be seen staring right at Rio. Its mouth was spitting flames and its scales are obviously very hard.

'This guy is at C+ and since I have not become a C rank it will be a good fight this time.'

Both of them stood in their place for a few seconds and an eerie silence covered the surroundings. Suddenly both of them launched at each other.

The monster spat a thick flame toward Rio but it was avoided very easily. At the time when it stopped Rio was already near its face.

Rio slashed at its neck, but to his surprise, it only created a shallow wound on the monster. Rio hurriedly moved away from his previous position. When looking back, the lizard's tail can be seen stuck on the floor where he was standing before.

'looks like today I can use my skills, after such a long time

[Body Strengthening!]

Rio's mana covered every part of his body from the inside. From the outside, everything is still the same but his body has been strengthened by mana.

Using body strengthening increased his all stats temporarily.

'it consumes too much mana; I will increase my mana capacity after going back.'

The monster was already impatient, it spat another flame at Rio. But again, the flame was avoided and Rio launched the sword strike with concentrating mana in his hands this time, a huge wound appeared on the lizard's back.

It attacked with its tail but Rio deflected it with a swing of his sword, it seemed simple but all this could not have been done without his high understanding of basic swordsmanship.

'Let's finish this.'

[Lightening sword]

An extremely fast and precise sword strike was unleashed, it was so fast that it can't be seen with the naked eye at all.

The monsters got beheaded with this final strike. Obviously, it also caused Rio to deplete his mana. He found a nearby stone and sat down on it to meditate and recover his mana again.

In this world, there's no natural way to recover mana. Either you recover it by meditating or by using mana recovery potions which are very expensive to buy.

'well I have a mana recovery potion given by the academy, but I don't need to use it here.'

It will be a waste to use it now, instead, it will be better to use it when I am in a life-and-death battle.

After half an hour Rio recovered his mana and walked toward the wall on the right side of the hall. This wall has several statues standing in front of it.

Rio walked towards the statue holding a spear and a shield. He used his all his strength and pushed the statue to the left side. As if a mechanism has been triggered the wall started to open and a corridor was revealed.

Rio walked into the corridor without hesitation. While walking he again had a thought:

'when Fade came here this statue was destroyed during his fight with the lizard monster thus revealing this corridor. But when I was fighting it that lizard never came near this statue.'

Is it because it doesn't want me to find this place or is it simply the doing of luck? But one thing is certain being the child of the heavens is really beneficial. Not to mention you will get rare treasures as easily as breathing, even life-threatening situations will lead you to amazing fortunes.

Unlike an extra like me who has to find his own way.

'have I been abandoned by the heavens? Who cares?'
