Extra's Death: I Am the Son of Hades novel Chapter 39

"I—"

Neo was an extra.

If he tried to take high rank, he would affect the plot of the novel.

But.

This world was heading for a destined doom.

Neo would die if the future was not changed.

He wanted to live.

He never had any intention of not interfering.

"—want Rank 1."

"What!?"

The receptionist looked at him as if he was crazy.

"S-sir, maybe you misspoke."

She noticed the students glaring at her desk.

Her eyes watered at the pressure of the children of God Clans.

'This crazy bastard! He looks good but his head is empty!'

The receptionist wanted to cry when Neo did not budge

'If he wants to die, die alone! Why is he trying to get me killed along with him!?'

"Can you give me the rank token?" Neo asked.

"S-sir—"

"Is it not allowed?"

"No… tha-that's not the problem."

She bit her lips and gave him the Rank 1 badge with trembling hands.

Any student who wanted to become rank 1 needed to take the batch from him.

Neo could hide it inside his clothes, but it must remain on his body at all times.

He ignored the stares and sat on the benches at the back of the hall.

The hall was enveloped in murmurs.

Some laughed at Neo, some mocked him, and some pitied someone as handsome as him wanted to do a suicide.

Neo blinked.

Suddenly, the seat next to him became occupied.

The girl with black hair that were golden underneath, and had golden eyes appeared like a ghost.

Neo didn't notice her until she sat on the seat.

She held a sheathed sword and sat with crossed arms.

Her gaze was fixed at the hologram.

"Do you know the consequences of your actions?" She spoke without looking at him.

"Maybe, maybe not. Why should I tell you?"

Neo wasn't startled.

He expected someone to approach him when he chose the rank 1 token.

Though, he didn't expect it to be her.

"Because that rank belongs to me," she said. "You took what is mine."

Her face remained as calm as a lake.

"If you don't want to die a dog's death, give up now."

"That's quite a threat," Neo said.

He noticed other member of Zeus Clan slowly circling them.

"Will your siblings attack me if I say no?"

"They aren't my siblings and I don't need help to take care of someone who can't even control his Divine Energy."

Neo could only smile when she poked where it hurt.

His Spells were strong because his Divine Energy Purity was Grade 1 Awakened rank and the Spells themselves were Terror-ranked.

He improved drastically after he started training, but he had a long path ahead.

Silence descended between the two.

They stared at the activities in the hall.

"Morrigan di Montaigne," she suddenly said.

"Neo Hargraves."

They stopped talking.

Morrigan stood up after a few minutes.

"You should've understood your limits after the incident in the Mermaid Country." _{freēwēbnovel.com}
