Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 36 Plot-Holes Can Damage Brains...

Looking at the now-dead Ogreʼs corpse Rio didnʼt know what he should do now. According to what he read in the novel there shouldnʼt be any monster here, yet Rio met this damn ogre here.

Not to mention the fact that ogres are rather rare and can only be found in very few dungeons, they are also a race with intelligence, although their IQ is still low than an average human, they are still capable of carrying out complex movements like using heavy swords and battleaxes in a skillful way.

Thinking about the event of the Arteʼs tower in the original novel it was as follows:

Fade and Kira chose this tower for their date. While walking around Kira told Fade the whole history of the tower, as you know she is very good with this aspect. She has deep knowledge of history and generally, she always likes to read history books whenever she has free time.

So, as you must have already guessed what would have happened later. Fade being the protagonist how can he lose such a great opportunity to show off in front of Kira. He led Kira with him towards the stairs and just he was about to start climbing up, he was stopped by a passerby:

”Kid, this is not a place where you should be, go away and play somewhere else.”

Instantly everyoneʼs attention was on them now. As if a mysterious phenomenon occurred the huge place filled with about a hundred people became silent and everyone started to look at Fade with mocking expressions.

Plot-hole 1. Did so many people forget their own thing and focused on a single guy just like that? Isnʼt this rather idiotic? Has the author also damaged his brain? No, consider this a plot hole and the effect of the protagonistʼs halo. (If you are still not convinced then ask Rio! how he survived reading a poisonous book!?... cough!)

So, where were we… yeah, then after that, the event followed the same cliché patterns:

ʼHeh, these braindead people are considering me a pushover. Humph, see how I slap your face now.ʼ (Fade)

”Huh, I am here to climb this tower today and no one can stop me from doing this! Come if you dare stop Laozi!” (Fade)

(Those who are still newbies to the cultivation world ʼLaoziʼ means ʼI! your father!ʼ Generally said in arrogance and contempt)

”Heh, see how I beat you today, you smelly brat!”

Several burly men surrounded Fade and Kira. But Fadeʼs face was still expressionless. In front of an awakener, these ordinary humans are absolutely nothing and are just ants. Fade didnʼt even put them in his eyes, he can kill them with a mere act of breathing… cough! Cough!

Plot-hole 2. No adult in their right mind would use violence against a kid. Except for some those who love the walls of the jail. (jail exists in this world too. So loli-lovers you have been warned if you get transmigrated here, remember to be a gentleman, just like fade… cough!! I mean donʼt be like fade!)

Fade didnʼt even bring out his staff to beat these people he just cast a fireball with his barehand which is a rather inefficient method to cast but even with this inefficient method he still cast a huge fireball and directly launched it towards the ordinary people, the people became scared and their faces were now full of fear.

But before the fireball could harm anyone, a security staff member stopped the fireball from doing so. Coincidentally this security staff member is actually the brother of the individual who Fade had scared before. He is also an awakener. Now he directly attacked Fade to take revenge for his brother, then was also beaten, then he called more of his friends to gang up on Fade, then they were also beaten…. Cough! Cough!

Ahem, I got carried away a bit, so at the end of the day Fade was then arrested due to causing harm to innocent people but him being the protagonist how can he stay in Jail. Kira contacted her father and helped Fade to get out of this huge and unreasonably created mess.

Plot-Hole 3. During the whole process Why didnʼt Kira stop Fade from arguing and used her contacts to get rid of this nuisance before the situation flared up and became so big? (I donʼt know too, ask Kira yourself, donʼt look at this authorʼs explanation)

Fade got out of the Jail just one hour after he got arrested. Then Kira and Fade continued their date as if nothing happened and I donʼt know how they even came back so early, from the Jail, which was located about an hour away, while traveling through the mana train.

Ignoring the fact that this time even though there were even more people than before, the event didnʼt happen twice and this time Fade and Kira both started to climb the stairs with excited expressions.

[You have encountered the illusion of Arteʼs tower, would you like to pass through it?]

[Will consume 25k EXP]

[Yes/No]

Ignoring the fact that by paying 25k Exp Fade and Kira both passed through the illusion right in front of many people causing a huge scene again. Several talks started to erupt again, but who cares, nothing can stop this event to occur once it is started.

Only when the event has not yet started can it be destroyed just like how Rio has been doing it ever since he started stealing Fadeʼs chances.

After they both passed through the illusion they came to the same floor where the now-dead ogre is sleeping with a happy expression. Kira being a history-loving maniac directly recognized the lost teleportation method.

Without wasting time, she instantly figured out how to trigger the mechanism just like Rio did. Actually, Rio was just following what Kira had done to make the mechanism work all along. The only difference was that, Unlike Fade who used Exp, Rio passed through the illusion using ʼTrue Immunityʼ.

The rest of the process was all same. Then Fade and Kira were both teleported to the library Kira got interested in those books and directly stuffed them all in her space ring. Just when she was about to store the last book too, she found that her ring has run out of space. Due to this, she had to carry it with her.

Coincidently that book had the same pattern of a dead dragon with a spear piercing its head and a star pattern on it. Again, coincidently that book slipped off from her hand and fixed itself in the statue. (I donʼt know how that is possible, Rioʼs brain cell must have been damaged due to this, poor Rio)

Unlike in Rioʼs case, the door opened itself and they found the stone. Kira directly gave that stone to Fade, since she has already taken so many books. So, she gave that stone to Fade without hesitation. Fade didnʼt disagree and used it on himself.

Then, they found the way out by finding that teleportation circle by looking at the wall which had some ancient language written on it. No monster stopped them and they left the same way they came, through the stairs.

When downstairs they were directly surrounded by a huge number of people who couldnʼt wait but ask about how they passed through the illusion and what they got etc. And just when the situation was getting out of control Kiraʼs bodyguards arrived and helped them clear the way.

This way this event ended.

.

Rio looked at the monster corpse again and the same thought that he had been thinking about for a while now came to his mind:

ʼIs the heavenly luck trying to stop me from stealing Fadeʼs chances?ʼ (Rio)

If that is the case then it will really be a problem for him, but even if there are some troubles, this professional thief canʼt be stopped.

After pondering for a while, Rio shook his head. Thereʼs no point in thinking so much and wasting my energy thinking about this dead monster. Rio put this matter at the back of his mind and started to walk towards the stairs.

ʼI wonder if there will be people greeting me? But I donʼt want to get discovered so letʼs do the same thing I did when climbing the stairs.ʼ (Rio)

[Body Strengthening!]

[Concentration!]

After using these two skills to temporarily increase his stats, Rio stood at the first ladder for a second, and then, as if an arrow was launched, he ran so fast that all the way downward, no one was able to see him. After all, there are only ordinary people thereʼs no awakener and ordinary people canʼt follow with his speed which is already faster than a bullet.

People just felt a breeze of air when Rio passed by them and just like that Rio left the tower and headed in the direction of the dormitories.

Authorʼs Note: Do you like the idea where; I am adding my comments in the chapter to explain some things:

1. Nope (that was distracting)

2. Yes (you should do this in certain chapters, but not in all)

3. I donʼt know anything, I am still recovering from brain damage caused by Fade.
