The Extra's Dominance

Chapter 133 Side Effects[2]

Chapter 133 Side Effects[2]

July 22, 2080, Wednesday.

It was lunchtime, and Raven and the others were all at one table, eating peacefully.

It was a normal quiet day.

That is until...

"I'm actually from a different Earth and universe, and there, I'm a novel writer."

"This universe is made from one of my novels, I got reincarnated here by a higher being as an extra... Oh, and you guys are the main characters of this story by the way."

"So basically, I'm this world's god... And I'm your creator."

Raven suddenly revealed his biggest secrets out of nowhere to Alec and the others in a carefree manner!

(Raven is still loose-lipped because of the side effect of the drug given to him, so he's doing this out of impulse.)

Anyway...

"".....""

Eve, Adelle, Aoi, Curtis, and Alec stopped eating and looked at Raven after hearing his words.

Then, they all looked at each other and nodded their heads in unison...

"He's gone crazy."

Aoi whispered.

"He's getting super delusional now."

And Curtis followed.

"Maybe he's just joking...?"

Alec asked with an awkward smile on his face.

"Professor Ruby must've hit his head really hard, this is bad..."

Then Adelle mumbled.

She's genuinely worried for Raven...

What Raven said is all true, and those are his biggest secrets, but because of the timing and the way he said them...

No one is taking his words seriously!

"Let's just eat and ignore his weird fantasies, I'm sure he'll be fine sooner or later."

Eve then suggested to stop the ridiculous conversation.

"".....""

And the others went silent as they realized how stupid their conversation was.

Just like that, the group decided to ignore and forget what Raven just said.

But then...

"What if he's telling the truth?"

Blake suddenly asked that question while munching his food!

Eve and the others looked at him with ridicule.

But Blake didn't notice that so he just continued speaking!

"I mean, it's Raven... He's weird and all, I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually from another world."

"Remember, no one knows about Raven until this year even though he's crazy strong."

Blake's statements were convincing.

"..."

Enough to make Eve and the others stop eating again!

Doubts started to form in their heads about whether Raven is actually telling the truth.

'What if... We're actually inside a novel? And Raven really did create us?'

Questions like that entered their heads.

Soon, they weren't able to contain their curiosity.

So they all looked at Raven...

Just to see him eating peacefully with such elegance.

But that didn't matter to the group at the moment.

"What you just said earlier, are they true?"

Alec asked Raven.

And Raven, who heard their whole conversation from the start, stopped eating and smiled slyly.

He then looked at the others...

"Maybe?"

And mischievously said that.

It made the others frown, and Raven enjoyed that sight.

"What do you mean?"

Eve asked.

And after that, Raven nonchalantly pointed up in the sky...

Or to be specific, he pointed at you.

(Yes, you, the one reading this.)

"What if, everything I said earlier was just in my head, and I'm not actually a novel writer reincarnated inside my novel...?"

Raven asked.

"Instead, I'm a protagonist in a novel and my story is being read... By what I call, the Higher Beings?"

Then he followed up with another question.

Raven's calm smile didn't waver while saying those words.

But those questions, he was serious with them...

Those questions entered his mind a day later after being transferred into his novel as Raven.

"..."

Why?

Because what happened to him, was very novel-like and he read a lot of similar scenes in the past, and even in the present!

(Raven is an avid novel reader before being a writer, so he read a lot of novels and is still doing so.)

So those questions naturally just occurred to him.

"..."

"..."

Anyway, Raven's claim made the others frown even deeper as they got more confused.

They weren't able to say anything.

"Raven."

And that's when a familiar voice was heard by everyone at that table.

They all looked at the source of it...

And they saw Lana Dennise looking at Raven like he was a weirdo.

"Oh, hello."

Raven greeted her.

And Lana lightly bowed her head in response.

"Are you done eating?"

She asked Raven.

"Yeah, I'm ready to work."

And Raven replied as he stood up.

Then, he looked at the others.

And grinned like he was looking at some funny idiots.

"You guys are too gullible, did you seriously think I'm being serious?"

Raven said with a scoff.

"Anyway, I'm out."

Then he left the cafeteria before the others could even react to his words.

He even left Lana behind just to escape...

"..."

"..."

Anyway, Eve and the others thought of Raven's last words before he left.

And his face while saying those words...

And soon enough...

"That bastard..."-Curtis

They became annoyed to the point that they wanted to punch Raven's face with full force!

Yes, even Alec!

"You guys should just ignore him until tomorrow."

Lana then suddenly spoke as the others were clenching their hands into fists.

Which caught the group's attention, so they all looked at her.

And seeing everyone looking at her...

"The nurse said he'll be very talkative for the time being, mostly speaking nonsense, and annoying people because of a side effect of the drug given to him yesterday."

Lana explained Raven's condition.

"I already experienced it yesterday..."

She added.

And as she remembered what Raven said yesterday to her...

"..."

Lana blushed a little, but her expression didn't change so no one noticed it.

"He's still very good at doing his work, but he just won't shut up."

'He's like the opposite version of him when I first met him.'

Lana thought.

"Anyway, I need to leave now as we still have a lot to do. Enjoy your meals."

And after saying all of that...

She just left, not waiting for the group's response.

"..."

"..."

"I don't care about his condition, I'm still gonna punch him when I see him."

Curtis declared, then he continued eating afterward.

And even still annoyed, the others did so too...

And the talk about earlier, everything Raven said, left their heads.

They all just thought that Raven is just making fun of them, and none of it was true.

***

{Raven's POV}

[You really went and said it huh.]

Sariel said.

"Well, I was trying to hold it in, but I thought it would be fun and my mouth just opened on its own."

And I casually replied.

I'm currently waiting for Lana outside the cafeteria by the way.

[... Seeing you being talkative creeps me out, it's just so not you.]

Sariel then spoke again.

And as an agreement to his words, I nodded my head...

"I know, I'll die from embarrassment later when this effect wears off because of what I said to the girls last night."

Then I responded to Sariel.

(Raven showered Ruby, Levina, and Keara with the sweetest compliment that entered his mind. Usually, he would just keep them in his head...)

Anyway...

[...]

"..."

We waited for Lana in silence.

[Hey.]

Though, the silence part didn't last long as Sariel called for me.

"What?"

I asked him.

[...]

But Sariel didn't reply immediately.

After a few seconds...

[What you said earlier...]

Sariel hesitatingly spoke.

Then...

[What if it's true?]

He finally asked me what was bugging him.

He's talking about the statement that I made earlier about my life being a novel.

Anyway, after hearing Sariel's question.

I looked up...

"So what?"

Then I asked him that.

[Huh?]

"I said, so what?"

[You're just gonna accept that?]

Seems like Sariel is confused by my reaction.

So I opened my mouth...

"This world, it's real."

Then I declared that.

[... How can you be sure?]

Sariel asked afterward.

"Because I believe so."

And I casually replied.

"I mean, sure... Let's say that in another world, another universe... This world is just a novel for weird ass aliens."

"But it doesn't mean that this world is fake."

I calmly stated as my doubts about myself just being a novel character faded.

"These worlds and universe things are too mysterious and complicated to explain..."

"You don't know... Maybe the ones watching us, the Higher Beings, are also being watched by someone even higher like they were just in a reality show."

I added as a joke.

Then I looked at the cafeteria's door.

There, I saw Lana coming out and approaching me...

"This world might be fake to others, but for me, it's real... And that's enough reason for me to keep living in it."

I stated with a clear mind.

[...]

Then I walked towards Lana without waiting for Sariel's response.

"Let's go."

Lana said to me as soon as we met.

Tap- Tap- Tap-

Then she started walking again, heading to the [Student Council]' office.

"Lana."

I called out to her as I followed her behind.

"What?"

She replied without even looking at me, but I couldn't care less.

I opened my mouth...

"You're beautiful today as well."

Then I voiced out what entered my head as soon as I saw Lana looking at me earlier in the cafeteria.

"Shut up."

Lana replied to me in a monotone.

Then she started walking faster.
