The Extra Who Wasn’t Meant to Be Born

"Mike" died alone, a man who trusted no one... and opened his eyes as a boy who wasn't supposed to exist. In his past life, he was a wolf in a concrete jungle—a street fighter forged by blood and betrayal until he believed in nothing but the weight of his own fists. But the explosion that tore his body apart wasn't the end; it was a gateway for his "soul" to return to its forgotten home... in a catastrophic manner. He awoke trapped in the body of "Arthur Gray," a nameless orphan in a world ruled by Mana, monsters, and the laws of a "Video Game" whose plot Mike believes has spiraled completely off course. To him, he is merely an "Extra"—a background character trying to survive a mad script. But the truth is deeper, and far more terrifying, than a mere world-hop. Arthur is not just a side character... and Mike is not just a passing soul. They are two shards of a single soul, shattered by an ancient curse and a bloody conspiracy born on a planet that perished under the weight of "The Abyss." A royal soul forcibly split into four fragments; two have now collided within one body, while the other shards still pulse in unknown corners, awaiting the moment of a terrifying completion. As Arthur fights to survive using the cunning of the streets in a world he deems "illusory," he finds himself hunted by very real shadows: • The curse of the "Fallen King" who crossed into the Forbidden Lands and returned as something no longer human. • High entities and master manipulators who view Arthur’s body as the "Perfect Vessel" to resurrect an ancient lord. * A strange past flowing through his veins, seeking the "Key" Arthur was born with—the very key that caused the destruction of entire worlds. Armed with the instincts of a merciless killer and the remnants of a broken prince’s pride, Arthur will tear the "Script of Fate" to shreds. In this game of death, the player without a name is the only one bold enough to write the ending. "When the shards unite... the picture will become clear. They will realize this world isn't a game... it is a prison for something that should have stayed dead."

The Demon Executioner

#WSA CONTEST 2026 A/N: ACTION PACKED CONTENT!! DING! [Welcome to Eyria] Ethan, known in his former life as Mesh, lived a hollow existence. Work. Sleep. Repeat. A life spent giving everything, and gaining nothing in return. Betrayed by the very people he trusted, his coworker and his boss, his life ended abruptly. Not with meaning… but with bitterness. Death, however, was not the end. He awakened in another world: Eyria. A land on the brink of collapse, where demons ruled the shadows of day and night, and humanity survived only by clinging to hope. Reborn as Ethan Cole, he entered a world already bleeding. There, he awakened a class unknown to Eyria. A hybrid class known as the 'Executioner'. It granted him overwhelming power, power designed to hunt demons without mercy. But that strength came at a cost. Each use carved away fragments of his humanity, replacing restraint with bloodlust, and reason with cold, lethal instinct. Still, Ethan made a vow. To erase demons from the face of Eyria. Yet as his power grows and his humanity fades, one question remains: Will Ethan become the shield that saves this world… or the blade that finally shatters it? Note: Schedule: 7 New chs/week. - MC is Overpowered but it comes at a cost. Just like the synopsis described. - MC has strong ability but it isn't easily unlocked. - Romance comes later not immediately. - Chapter two has fast pacing.
