The Extra's Dominance

Sitting on the ground while leaning my back on a tree, I looked around. There's blood everywhere, the King Wolf's head was smashed badly that it was hideous. I looked at myself, I was covered with mine's and King Wolf's bloods.

My stomach churned at the sight, luckily I stopped myself from puking.

"I'm dirty."

The fight happened for about 30 minutes.

'The longest and worst 30 minutes of my life.'

I thought as I recalled my battle with the King Wolf.

"I only took one direct attack from it and I'm already dying, and that attack is just a normal one."

I muttered.

I just won because I was lucky, if I was bitten again and again I will die from excessive blood loss, that's why I locked it in its position by stabbing it with the dagger.

"This sucks, I need some plot armor here or I might really die you bitches."

I said while looking up at the sky.

Not long after that the system came out with a message.

[The Transcend Beings are satisfied watching you struggle to survive and decided to give you rewards!]

'Transcend Beings? Oh, it must be referring to the Higher Beings, well I don't really care.'

What got my attention was...

"Rewards?"

I asked.

[Yes, 'rewards'.]

Right after that, the system displayed my so called rewards.

=====

[REWARDS]

-[System Shop]

-2500 CP

-Intermediate life potion x3

-Item Upgrade scroll x3

=====

Then 3 bottles of potions and 3 scrolls appeared in front of me.

Not minding that it came out of nowhere, I immediately chugged one of the potion.

It immediately took effect as my wounds started to heal slowly and my complexion got better.

Though I feel slightly sleepy and I can still feel some lingering pain.

[You'll be fine in half an hour.]

The system said.

"Oh, nice."

I didn't mindlessly jump from tree to tree, I deliberately jumped toward the base of the mountain while escaping the King Wolf, I did this for 2 reasons.

First is that I might coincidentally meet someone that can help me with the King wolf, which didn't happen.

And second, to save time going down the mountain. The sun is already rising, now I only have less than 3 days to go back and attend the academy.

"I'm not even halfway down the mountain."

Snapping out of my thoughts, I faced the system.

"What's [System Shop] anyway? I have a rough idea but still, explain it."

I asked the system.

[Well, it's like a plug-in to me, which give you access to a shop. The shop have a lot of products that might help you.]

"Hmm, come to think of it you're pretty much useless until now."

I said to the system in a playful tone.

[Um! Rude! I appraise things for you and help you utilize mana and skills!]

It argued.

"Calm down, I'm just joking, anyway open the shop."

[Tsk, fine.]

Then the so called '[System Shop]' appeared, like usual, it's in a transparent window.

=====

[SYSTEM SHOP]

[Permanent shop]

<Life/Mana/Stamina potion>

-Low-100 CP

-Intermediate-250 CP

-High-500 CP

[Collected]

<Red wolf's Fang> -10 CP

<Red wolf's Skin> -50 CP

[Timed shop]

<Cat's Earring> -1000 CP

<Spatial Storage> -1000 CP

[Request]

(Input Request)

=====

After that the system explained the shop properly.

[Permanent shop] sells things that can be bought infinitely as long as I have enough Character Points(CP).

[Collected] sells things I got from beasts and monsters, their parts will be recorded to the shop so I can buy it anytime, the price depends on the rarity and usefulness of the product.

[Timed shop]'s content changes every month.

And the [Request] is for me requesting anything to the transcend beings, they can decline my requests if it's too unreasonable, also if my request got accepted I need to pay CP, the cost is based on my request.

Well that's the summary of it. I have 2500 CP as a reward.

CP can be earned by the transcend beings sponsoring me, or again, by gaining attentions in this world will also earn me CP.

"So they're basically saying I should entertain them and they will pay me."

I hate that idea but I can't do anything about it so I just continued my own business.

With my current CP, I bought <Spatial Storage>, <Low mana potion> x1, <Low stamina potion> x1, and [Cat's Earring].

Why [Cat's Earring]? Look.

=====

[Cat's Earring]

-Have a unique skill <Cat Transformation>.

<Cat Transformation>

-Can make the wearer transform into a cat.

-When in cat form, mana and stamina recovery speeds up.

-increase charm by a rank when equipped.

=====

It's a single circular earring with a cat paw as its design, it's small as a button, I chose color black to match my eye and hair color, the setting is cool and useful, it can help me move stealthy.

The best is it increases my charm stat!

"Why a cat though?"

I just asked the system as maybe there's a bat so I can fly.

[The Higher Being like cats.]

"Talk about unreasonable."

Well, it's not that I don't like it.

So I wore it immediately, I don't have a hole for earrings so I made one in my right ear, it doesn't hurt much, maybe because I got bitten by a huge wolf for a minute that my pain resistance increased.

"Ah, System can you connect the spatial storage to the [Ring of Gluttony]?"

[Yes, it's possible because of the ring's absorption skill.]

"Then please do."

[Sure, please wait a moment.]

I think the system is getting kinder, which is kinda weird.

"Anyway, I'm gonna check my status first."

=====

=====

I stared at my stat for minute, making sure my eyes aren't playing games with me.

"I ranked up!"

I exclaimed after confirming that what I'm seeing is not a hallucination.

Not just my rank but my skills also ranked up.

"My charm!"

My charm increased by 2 rank, one of the reason is because of the <Cat's Earring> but who cares.

"But I don't have a mirror with me. How can I check the changes?"

I asked, feeling my face with my hands.

As I was excited about my ranking up, the system reappeared in front of me.

[The spatial storage has been applied to the 'Ring of Gluttony'.]

=====

[Ring of Gluttony]

-Spatial storage(Added)

-Have a unique skill called 'Devour'

<Devour>

-Absorb mana from anything.

-50% of the mana absorbed will be transferred to the wearer.

-When the absorbed mana surpassed your capacity, pain will be felt all over your body.

-The skill have 60 seconds cooldown.

=====

It showed me the new feature of the ring.

"Oh, thanks."

[Sure]

The system really did become kinder, well who cares.

I approached the corpse of the King Wolf.

I stood in front of it and aimed my right hand on it.

Then I imagined its corpse being stored in my spatial storage.

A shadow vortex appeared from the ring and swallowed the King Wolf's corpse.

It didn't take mana from the corpse, instead it disappeared without a trace.

"Good."

'I can use this if someone annoyed me and I accidentally killed them.'

[Dark]

The system said.

"It's gonna happen as long as I'm here in this world."

I said to the system.

It's true, sooner or later, I will kill a human too, and knowing that, a frown appeared on my face.

I also don't want to kill a human.

Anyway, after that, I stored my baggage and books that I got earlier in the spatial storage too.

Satisfied with the results, I picked up my gun and store it in the holster on my waist.

"I have no bullet left anyway."

I used it all up fighting the King wolf.

I held the dagger to my right hand and drank a low mana and stamina potion.

"Now, let's go back."

Then I started to head to the base of the mountain.

There's less than 3 days before the academy start.

***

Going down the mountain is way faster than climbing up, I'm jumping branch to branch of trees to avoid unnecessary fights and complicated paths, and I'm used to it by now.

Because of that, I got to the base of the mountain in just 36 hours. I still have about a day and half till academy start.

Anyways, I morphed into a black cat, affected by the charm stat, it looks cool, I'm pretty fond of its black fur as you can't see me if I stood in the shadows.

And guess what, I just snuck in on a rapid train. And I didn't even need to pay.

***

About 10 minutes, I got back to the apartment room I'm currently staying. Because of how advance the technologies are, travelling is now easier and faster, by a lot.

After coming back, I quickly took a bath, not taking a proper bath for days is uncomfortable.

After taking a bath, I packed things I'll need to bring in the academy and put it in my spatial storage.

I took out the books I got from the skeleton's room, laid down on the bed, and read them.

With <Understanding> it was pretty easy to understand their contents.

My reading pace was not fast nor slow.

But in the middle of my reading, I frowned.

'I almost died.'

I thought as I recall what happened in the Red Wolves' Mountain.

"Looks like they can interfere in the story if they want to, for their entertainment."

I'm talking about the Transcend Beings.

The system said they can't change a lot at once, but it's still a problem as some things I don't know will happen.

I already know that not everything that was in the novel are gonna happen exactly as they are.

"I'm lucky the King Wolf is stupid, it also looked down at me at first."

I mumbled in a weak voice.

"Being looked down..."

I closed my eyes, remembering the King Wolf looking down at my whole existence with a wolfish grin.

"...I don't like it."

I got frustrated and annoyed, but I felt bitter by the fact that it looked down at me because I'm weak.

I'm pretty prideful myself if I'm being honest, I have an ego, but I don't have the skill to hold that ego high.

"Argh! Fuck it!"

I got annoyed and just continued reading.

***

I read a quarter of the contents of the book <Support Magics> and <Buffs and Debuffs> before stopping.

I got up and opened a hologram window from my watch, I visited my site after a while.

[Comments]:

<Eros>:When are you gonna update?

<Drei05>:Author any new update?

<Harry001>:KSI is a fatneek.

=====

A lot of comments greeted me, looking at them asking for a new update made me feel happy. As I said I'm just recreating my novels in my past life, so I have the whole story already written.

I posted new chapters, not long after that it was flooded with comments.

"This feels nice."

My work being appreciated feels good, forgetting the events that happened alongside with my frustration. I fell asleep.

***

When I woke up, it's already afternoon.

"I must have been more exhausted than I thought."

It was then I noticed that I was in my cat from.

"What?! Why?"

I was surprised because I didn't activate the earring's skill last night.

[Calm down, I activated it because you're very exhausted, resting in that form is better.]

The system appeared and explained.

"You can do that?!"

[Yes, we share consciousness so I can activate your skills and items.]

"What? I didn't know that, so when my skills activated on their own sometimes..."

[Yep, that was my doing.]

My head is a mess right now. Then I calmed down, looks like the system activated <Calm Thinker> to help me think and prove that it can activate my skills and items.

"So you can mess with me while fighting."

[Well yes, but I will not do so, If you die, I disappear. On the other hand, I can also help you in fighting.]

"Fair enough."

So that's why it can read my thoughts.

"Wait, if our consciousness are connected how can I not feel yours?"

[I'm not a living being, I don't even have a physical body, I was created solely just to help you, that's why.]

"Shit, that's kinda sad."

I honestly feel kinda bad for it.

[It's fine, at least because of you I exist.]

Chills ran through my back as soon as I heard that in my head.

"Stop being creepy, I can imagine you as an old man. Stop saying things like that, it grosses me out."

[You're weird.]

"You're weirder."

I changed back to my human form, and I saw myself in the mirror for the first time after coming back.

With my charm stat being <F+> rank.

I'm now fairly handsome if you ask me, my sharp black eyes boosted my looks, pale white skin, deep-black hair, and a pointed nose.

My thin body got some muscles for training almost a month.

"I was exhausted yesterday and forgot to check, but this is better that expected."

I did poses in front of the mirror while admiring myself.

"I maybe not as handsome as the main characters but I'm sure I'm on the handsome side."

I proudly declared.

[You're being creepy.]

The system then appeared.

"Shut up... Maybe you're so ugly that the Transcend Beings didn't give you a body."

[...You know what? Fuck you.]

"Fuck you too."

I shrugged and ignored the system.

"Well then, tomorrow is the day, let's get ready."

I wouldn't do physical training this day to be ready tommorow, so I just tested some spell I learned from the books I brought with me, with the help of <Understanding> and the system, everything went smoothly.

Then I posted new chapters of my novel. But as I was doing so, a question suddenly appeared in my mind.

"How much money do I have right now anyway?"

I got curious, so I checked my credit account.

=====

<Balance>

[131,598] Zeals

=====

"...huh?"

I started at the balance for 100 more seconds.

"Shit!"

Then I cursed in shock.

I got more money than I predicted, I thought it will be just around 15,000 Zeals.

"What happened?!"

I looked at my site and went to the donation page.

And I saw someone donated 100,000 [Zeals] with a message:

[If you have advance chapters, please send it

to me, I'll just read it myself.]

'If you donated that much, I wouldn't care even if you let everyone read the advance chapters I'll send you!'

I exclaimed inwardly.

The donation amount and message attached with it was publicly displayed in the donation page, and it caused an uproar to the people in the donation page.

[Zeal] is the currency humans uses, in the past while creating the novel, I thought that my country's currency is not known, so I created one for my novel because learning currencies of other countries is too bothersome.

The donator is anonymous, but there's a link of where I should send the advance chapters, if I have some.

"Haha..."

A laugh broke out my mouth as I can't contain my joy.

'I originally have 10,000 Zeals, and this one gave me 10 times of that amount casually.'

This is not a small amount, it is equivalent to the lowest price of a <C-> rank monster core.

It means that I'll need to kill 20 <E-> rank monsters to earn that amount.

Or 20 King Wolf.

"Huuu..."

I breathe out to calm down.

'Let's calm down, I'll make this money grow, let's buy stocks or invest. With my knowledge of what will happen in the future and the help of system, I'm gonna make tons of money.'

"But let's send them some advance chapter first."

I said and sent some advance chapters to the donator happily.
