Chronicles of Forgotten Extra - Chapter 36
Chapter 36: True Prologue Chapter 36: True Prologue In a dark cave a boy was struggling against some green-coloured creatures.
The creatures were goblins.
The goblins were surrounding the boy.
The boy had striking black hair and piercing blue eyes.
“F*ck, why are they so persistent?” He quickly slashed one of the creatures who attacked him, but another one leapt from behind him.
The creature finally succeeded in successfully injuring the boy as the boy quickly leapt back, his breathing rough and uneven.
He wanted to run away, but before he could, a huge creature who looked like those goblins attacked him as he died on the spot.
The screen showed [Game Over].
As the boy got out of his virtual reality capsule.
“F*ck, why did they make it so difficult?” The boy cursed again.
He was Lucas, a newbie game streamer who was just trying out a newly launched game.
His eyes were bloodshot and his hair messy.
His stomach rumbled loudly as he felt the urge to eat something.
He took out his smartphone to order something, but he quickly put it back again, deciding just to go and eat out with his friends.
He texted his best friend, and they decided to meet near the mart close to his home.
He quickly got dressed and got out of his apartment as he locked the door.
Just as he was going out of the building, he saw a mysterious figure wearing a mask covering her face.
She was probably a woman, as he could tell from her body shape.
He quickly ignored her as she entered the apartment next to his.
He knew who lived there.
A shut-in named Damien was living in that apartment.
“What is a woman doing in that shut-in’s apartment?” Lucas muttered as he quickly ignored it, thinking it was none of his business.
He quickly got out and went towards the mart where he was supposed to meet with his friend.
But just as he was halfway there, he heard people scream… “Why are they so loud?” Lucas snapped in annoyance.
Looking at the commotion, he found a strange creature biting on a person’s neck.
The man died without even being able to scream.
Lucas quickly recognised the creature…
it was a goblin similar to one he encountered in the game he played.
“What’s happening?” He felt his heartbeat quicken and his body tremble with fear.
He was scared…scared shitless.

“Am I…
d-dreaming?” His voice was also breaking with fear.
But before he could gather his thoughts, many such creatures emerged from some glowing portal.
The creature looked at him in malice…
he saw many people running away…
He wanted to run away too… but his body was stuck with fear, refusing to move.
His heartbeat increased beyond normal; his head was feeling light as he saw the creatures walk towards him.
One of the creatures suddenly lunged at him to attack him, but before the creature could even attack, his eyes started to darken before he lost feelings of his body.
Lucas had died not due to some magical creature but due to a heart attack… ======== Just as Lucas thought his life was over, he found himself in a vast void of darkness.
He couldn’t see or feel anything.
There was just emptiness.
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t even do that.
“How am I still alive?” That was the first thought that came to his mind: “How am I even thinking.
Wasn’t I dead?” His mind throbbed with pain.
He could feel someone else in this void but couldn’t pinpoint their location.
He tried to move his body, but before he could even move, his body was pulled into a vortex of light that suddenly appeared.
He wanted to scream, but no sound left his mouth.
As he entered through the vortex of light, his body started to feel sensation again, and he could hear some noise.
“Argh, he tried speaking clearly, hearing some awkward sound.
He slowly opened his eyes as he found himself in a luxurious room.
“Where the heck am I now?” His body tensed, not knowing where he was, but before he could do anything, his head throbbed as some memories were inserted in his mind.
The memories were fragmented…as he couldn’t understand most of them…he screamed in pain…the pain only vanishing after some minutes.
“Ha ah,” his breathing was rough and uneven.
But his eyes held clarity now knowing where he was.
“It seems I have been transported inside some fantasy world.” His voice held no sorrow whatsoever.
His previous life was nothing much after all.
He was just an orphan who barely got by daily.
But now, he was the third prince of a powerful human empire.
Why would he feel sad?
He knew what had happened to the prince.
The prince had died while undergoing his awakening trial, which every person undergoes in this world at the age of 17.
It seems my soul had transferred into his body at the moment of his death… ‘But what about awakening?
Will I not be able to use magical abilities even after coming to this Fantasy world?’ Just as he was feeling disappointed, a ding sounded inside his head.
It originated from his abdomen.
He rolled around on his bed, “Please stop, as tears started streaming down his face.
He was just a weak person after all.
He pleaded to the blue screen to make his pain stop.
As if the system truly heeding his wish, his pain started to fade slowly.
As he heard the sound, a status window popped in front of him… ============= ======[Status]======== [NAME- LUCIEN CELESTRIAN (LUCAS)] [RANK- BEGINNER NOVICE] [POTENTIAL – INFINITE] [TITLE -1) TRANSMIGRATOR 2) THE SECOND SUPREME ] [SUPREME ABILITY-INFINITE GROWTH SYSTEM] [Stats] [System Shop] [Ability ] [Inventory] ================== But before he could comprehend anything on the status window his mind gave in to exhaustion due to pain as he fell asleep.
