Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy



Passing through the crowd smiling at one another, Parth's breathing ceased for a moment.

Gnashing his teeth angrily, Parth stomped the ground and clutched his hair with a sullen expression.

"Damn…Damn…."

"I can't believe it."

"I…I who stand at the peak of awesomeness was defeated by a mere masochist."

"Damn...Lucas, you did me dirty."

"You played with my innocence. Not only that..."

"You dare to hit my handsome face. What if your punches destroyed my handsomeness? Do you know how many ladies would die from being depressed worrying about my ruined face?"

"You were just a step away from committing mass murder."

"This daddy will crush you. Just watch, Lucas..."

"I will have my revenge."

The students who stood aside saw a madman muttering to himself and laughing crazily.

Feeling goosebumps, they whispered.

"Huh!"

"What happened to him?"

"It seems he is in his villainous phage. Just look at that weird smile. It is giving me chills."

The students moved away seeing Parth laughing sinisterly.

A few seconds later, an exhilarated sound rose from the crowd. The intensity of emotions in their voices was akin to worshipping an idol.

Parth ears perked upon hearing this. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he sneaked in towards a group discussing something with a happy expression.

"Did you hear? The student council is looking for Secretaries. This is the first time something like this has happened."A boy said.

"Damn...Why did you have to bring it up? My girlfriend is crazy about Vice President Isaac and Security Department Ian."

"Senior Ian...That dead fish guy. Are there even girls who are head heels over him?"Another one asked with confusion.

"Tsk!"

"What do you know? He looks great when dressed neatly and in some girl's view, he seems too cool."

"Still, I wonder why it's different this year. Don't they choose their secretaries on their own from the Students Council members?"

"It's because of the Princess. She dislikes inefficient people who climb up using connections. And most of the time, people use their position in Council to make deals and promote the ones close to them to hold greater power. The Student Council is the organization that should look after the welfare of the student but everyone knows just whose welfare they are looking after."

"Yeah, you are correct. The Student Council is filled with useless and incompatible people. Princess is trying to cut them down as much as possible though she is facing harsh resistance since statutes can't be used properly here and the shady ones are deeply rooted."

"Still, it's better. Since she is working for our betterment we should also try to help and let's fill out the application form and apply as Secretary."

"Yeah, let's do that. After our application gets accepted, we will be interviewed directly by her. Even if we fail to become secretary at least, we would have a chance to have a direct audience with her."

"Opportunity like this comes once in a lifetime. As long as I can see her face closely, I am satisfied with my life. Her peerless beauty along with that cold lifeless gaze....."

"Hey, stop it."A boy screamed and closed the other boy's mouth.

"If someone hears this, we will be in trouble. Don't you know Princess hates people who talk about her looks, especially after that incident?"

"Damn...I forgot about that. Let's leave here."

The group of boys ran tugging their tails, unaware of the shadow that was watching over them.

Parth who lay on a branch in a nearby tree smiled. A devilish grin appeared on his face.

"Application huh...Lucas, my bro..."

"I will write such a peerless resume that Princess would be forced to have an audience with you."

Thinking about the things, he was going to write down. He rubbed his hands naughtily.

"Don't worry Lucas. I wouldn't write anything excessive. Just enough to make you embarrassed and get your ass kicked.

"Heh heh heh!"

.......

Meanwhile, Lucas patrolling around suddenly halted his steps. His body shivered all of a sudden.

Sneezing loudly, he rubbed his nose"Why do I feel like someone is planning something behind my back."

"Haaaa....No..No...I am becoming too superstitious."

Lucas sneaked out of the back entrance. On the way, he observed the surroundings.

"I don't know if I am the only one who is feeling this but the situation has been quite chaotic," Lucas murmured as he saw the security guard checking a group of passersby who might be running errands for the Hunting Test.

"The security checks had been tightened for adults. It seems my letter has been perceived well but it is not enough. The only way to prevent the whole disaster is to cancel the Test, which they will not."Lucas sighed.

The entire route had been changed. Omen might have already set many traps in the original route which would be deemed useless now. But it does not mean they can't plant more.

"It was a wise move from her. It will lessen the casualties but unless they can take down the traitors, it's useless."

"Only canceling the event would save everyone's lives but they will not. That's why it's better to prepare for your safety by yourself."

As the rays of the sun flickered due to the arrival of dusk, Lucas slipped towards the Blood Hill forest.

Three kilometers away from the Horizons, Lucas stood over the mounted ridge to observe the scene before him.

Tall trees spread as far as one's eyesight could reach. The chirping sound of insects along with birds has a calm atmosphere carrying a tranquil effect.

Despite the fresh smell of soil, and the flanks of grassy blades fluttering with the passing wind giving a refreshing feeling, what lies beyond the peace is life-threatening dangers.

However, despite the danger, there were countless opportunities and resources inside. Various types of medicinal herbs having several useful effects are found in the forest.

To lessen the danger, a border perimeter is drawn on the outer edge along with various safety check posts. Most of the graduates after passing decided to work as security guards here.

It's suitable for low ranks and the risk was not that great. All they had to do was patrol the border and report the irregularities to higher-ups.

Yes, there are certain risks like a dungeon outbreak and monsters crossing over the borders. Unless you are too unlucky you will be safe.

Lucas walked towards the entrance of the forest.

Except for a few guards, it was particularly empty.

For a person to enter the forest, one needs to have certain strength along with a suitable reason. They can't just let anyone go inside and then take the trouble to search for the missing person.

Lucas planned to enter to determine a hiding spot in the cleared tracks. He doesn't want to get entangled in the mess tomorrow as the people attacking would be quite strong.

No tricks would work on them if the difference is too large. Meanwhile, he can also observe and familiarise himself with the surroundings.

"If possible, I wanted to pretend ill to take a leave but they would fail me if I didn't take the test. Even if the test is going to be canceled later, those who haven't taken it will be marked a failure. On top of that, it will draw other suspicions."

Lucas first measured the distance and made sure to stay away from the guards. Exiting was not difficult as he would take a roundabout path leading outside the city but entering through Horizon is a bit difficult.

The track was made near Gate 5 so he doesn't know which tracks lead to Gate 5 from the forest on the other side of the city.

He then drew out an orb from his ring.

"James, I am putting my hopes on you. If this thing does not work, you should prepare to sell your kidney tomorrow."

Wiping his sweat anxiously, he observed the patrolling pattern. Noting the longest lull in between the patrol of the two individuals, he clicked the button and threw it too far.

The orb soared high up into the sky and drawing a projectile motion, it fell off inside the deeper part of the forest.

A moment later...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

GROW WWWLLLL!

A violent screeching noise shook the entire forest.

Lucas noted the countdown. The sound would echo for 40 seconds after which the device would detonate.

The guards who were patrolling stared at one another in bewilderment and screamed in panic

"Monster.."

"Damn..there seems to be a monster."

"Hurry, alert the guards."

10 seconds later, he saw the guards panicking and running away toward the source of the sound.

A commotion ensued thereafter and all the surrounding guards ran toward the source of the sound.

Lucas, finding the place becoming deserted, jumped up.

"Nice.."Lucas smiled and dashed towards the forest. Since all the guards left thinking of the monster attack, Lucas entered easily after putting mask.

Even if there was still no CCTV camera. It is better to be safe than sorry.

"Hushhhhhhh"

Entering safely, Lucas searched for the Hunting Test route.

"Though monsters had mostly been cleared here. Knowing my luck, I should just hurry up."
