Reborn as an Extra - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Plot-holes can damage brains…
Looking at the now-dead ogre’s corpse, Rio couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

According to what he read in the novel, there shouldn’t 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 lower than an average human, they are still capable of carrying out complex thoughts and can use tools like heavy swords and battleaxes in a skillful way.

Thinking about the event of the Arte’s tower in the original novel, it was quite straightforward.

Fade and Kira chose this tower for their date as it’s a tourist spot.

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 as 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 everyone’s 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 focus on a single guy just like that? Isn’t this rather idiotic? Has the author also damaged his brain?

How is this even possible? If not for the weird power of influencing everything around him, Fade could have never gotten the attention of so many people so easily.

So, then after that, the event followed the same cliché patterns:

‘Heh, these braindead people are considering me a pushover. Humph, see how I slap your face now.’

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

(Those who are still newbies to the cultivation world, ‘Laozi’ means ‘I your father!’, Generally said in arrogance and contempt.)

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

Several burly men surrounded Fade and Kira, but Fade’s face was still expressionless.

In front of an awakener, these ordinary humans are absolutely nothing and are just ants.

Fade didn’t even put them in his eyes; he can kill them with just a whiff of his heavenly breathing technique!… cough! Cough!

Plot-hole 2.

No adult in their right mind would use violence against random for no particular reason. Except for someone who loves the walls of the jail.

So many random people appearing to beat Fade for no apparent reason is simply too much bullsh*t!

Fade didn’t 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, and it kept going on and on and on…

So at the end of the day, Fade was then arrested due to causing harm to innocent people, but with him being the protagonist, how can he stay in jail?

Kira contacted her father and helped Fade get out of this huge and unreasonably created mess easily. She smacked money on the faces of the people, and Fade was free to go home without any problems!

Plot-Hole 3.

During the whole process Why didn’t Kira stop Fade from arguing and use her contacts to get rid of this nuisance before the situation flared up and became so big?

Was she purposely waiting for the protagonist to make the situation more and more worse just so she could help him in the end and show her love for him?

Fade got out of jail just one hour after he got arrested.

Then Kira and Fade continued their date as if nothing happened; the only people who suffered from this bullsh*t were the ordinary people who got beaten up for random reasons.

(Disclaimer: No innocent readers were harmed in the making of this face-slapping session…)

Ignoring the fact that this time there were even more people wandering around in the area than before, Fade and Kira started to climb the tower to try their luck.

[You have encountered the illusion of Arte’s tower; would you like to pass through it?]

[Will consume 25k EXP]

[Yes/No]

By paying 25k, Fade and Kira both passed through the illusion right in front of many people, causing a huge scene again.

People went crazy over the fact that Fade and Kira were able to conquer the tower that no one had conquered before, thus increasing Fade and Kira’s fame in the area.

After they both passed through the illusion, they arrived at the same floor where the now-dead ogre is sleeping with a happy expression on it’s face.

Kira, being a history-loving maniac, directly recognized the lost teleportation method with just a single look.

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 ‘True Immunity’.

The rest of the process was all the 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 had run out of space. Due to this, she had to carry it with her.

Coincidentally, that book had the same pattern of a dead dragon with a spear piercing its head and a star pattern on it.

Again, coincidentally, that book slipped off from her hand and fixed itself in the statue. (Physics? Air resistance? Distance? Speed? What are these? Never heard of them; Luck is king!!)

Unlike in Rio’s 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 didn’t 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 they arrived downstairs, a sizable crowd had gathered around them and couldn’t help but inquire about how they had managed to pass through the illusion, what they had obtained, etc.

And just when the situation was getting out of control, Kira’s bodyguards arrived and helped them clear the way.

That’s how the event went for them.

…

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:

‘Is the heavenly luck trying to stop me from stealing Fade’s chances?’

If that is the case, then it will really be a problem for him, but even if there are some troubles, this professional thief can’t be stopped anymore!!

After pondering for a while, Rio shook his head.

There’s no point in thinking so much and wasting energy thinking about this dead monster.

Rio put this matter at the back of his mind and started to walk towards the stairs.

‘I wonder if there will be people greeting me? But I don’t want to get discovered so let’s do the same thing I did when climbing the stairs.’

[Body Strengthening!]

[Concentration!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Wind Type: Flowing Illusionary Wind!]

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 were launched, he ran so fast that all the way downward, no one was able to see him.

After all, there are only ordinary people; there’s no awakener, and ordinary people can’t follow his speed and can’t see him with a naked eye.

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.

He wanted to be far away from this potential brain-rotting place in case he ended up catching the protagonist disease by mistake.
