Reborn as an Extra

After the war ended.

Being slapped with reality Jin finally realized his increasingly out-of-control tendencies to do mass murders. When the war finally ended Jin was not able to satisfy his bloodlust for a long time, at that time he started to pay attention to the woman who made him aware of his insanity.

As time passed feelings developed slowly Jin finally started to have a calm personality, he spent most of his final days in the army observing Anna from his office window, seeing her train the other war mages was a sight to behold.

Of course, his strange personality never really went anywhere, though as he made Anna do the laundry of about five hundred mages all by herself, as a punishment for slapping her superior in the army.

The puffed-up cheeks of Anna, washing the laundry with her magic in the morning sunlight was nice scenery, for Jin teasing Anna was his second favorite thing, the first being massacre.

He even followed her to the academy and ended up becoming a teacher at the academy just to tease Anna after their retirement from the army. Eventually though, when that teasing turned into marriage proposals, no one knew.

(Without Anna's knowledge, Jin even managed to convince Anna's parents, everything was ready, only Anna has to agree, and they would be married the very next hour.)

Academy, outside the closed dungeon.

While everyone was still busy taking care of the injured students, only a few people were able to notice Jin, whose expression looked pale, while holding Anna in his hands.

With great difficulty, Jin was only able to mutter a few words:

"T-this...this can't be...…" (Jin)

Just when Jin was being driven into insanity bit by bit, he heard the voice of the person he liked to tease so much:

With half-opened eyes, and her face covered in blood, Anna said:

"W-Well….it seems….i-I won't be a-able to….cough! cough!.... marry y-you….afterall….sorry…Jin…" (Anna)

Even while saying this Anna's face still had a relaxed smile on her face. She seemed to be relaxed….

"H-hey, Rio, can you feel it too? The mana…." (Link)

Link asked Rio with a perplexed face, he was not the only one who was perplexed though everyone seemed to have the same expression, time seemed to have come to a standstill all of a sudden….

"Yeah, the mana in the surroundings is increasing with tremendous speed..." (Rio)

Rio replied with his same as-ever-expressionless face, but his voice was unusually quiet.

All the teachers, the students, and everyone present in the radius of hundred kilometers of the area all felt the increasing concentration of mana, generally, this would have been a sign of a large-scale attack but surprisingly no one felt alarmed by this mana flow.

Instead, they felt a warmth from the mana currents, as if the mana itself was holding something dear to it in its warm embrace.

Outskirts of Human Empire,

Outside the newly opened SS-rank dungeon.

Three individuals could be seen standing in the air as if gravity and other laws of nature don't apply to them. As if the air was similar to ground for them, they could walk on it easily.

"Finally, we managed to close it before a huge monster outbreak could happen…" (Neo Aldif)

An extremely handsome man with dark purple hair and pupils said in a shrewd and playful tone. An insanely huge dragon could be seen flying beside him, this is his strongest summon, a spirit Fire dragon. The presence of this dragon is strong enough to distort the space around it. (Aldif family is a family of summoners.)

(He has a slap mark on his face, apparently, a certain frost mage slapped him for his audacity…)

"You are the one to talk, when all you did was fly around everywhere with your measly flying lizard, like a housefly! Such audacity!" (Raji)

Looking at Raji's face which is red from anger, Neo sighed and said:

"As I said, I was just joking, forget about that letter already, will you. You are still as childish as you used to be in your freshman years in the academy." (Neo)

"y-you…" (Raji)

Hearing Neo talk about the past Raji was just speechless, Neo is really an expert in changing topics without hesitation…

"You used to cling to me all the time like a spoiled baby, and look at you now, you are hissing at me like a wild snake ready to pounce, how sad it is, my feeble heart can't take this much stress, what am I gonna do!" (Neo)

Looking at Neo who was being overly dramatic, Raji finally snapped:

"I NEVER USED TO CLING TO YOU! DIE YOU BASTARD!!!" (Raji)

She immediately started chasing Neo who was trying to flee.

While they both were playing around, Ashtel looked at them as if he was already fed up with all this. Hearing their non-stop bickering for so long, he was having a huge headache from all this. The irritation could be seen on Ashtel's face.

'Why do I have to suffer all this, I wanna go home….' (Ashtel)

.

Just when the three of them were messing around, they suddenly felt a mana wave all of a sudden. All three of them stopped and looked in the direction of the capital city with serious faces.

In an instant, the mood filled with mischief turned into seriousness. They all looked at each other and remained silent for a while, all three of them had the same question in their mind:

"This familiar lingering warmth in the flow of mana…is this…" (Neo)

"Yeah, I am sure of it…" (Anna)

"Sigh, after so many years we will finally be able to witness it again…" (Jin)

As the mana continues to concentrate towards the capital, Astra, of the human empire, several neighboring nations also feel the strange mana flow.

.

Elf Kingdom, Elf kings Castle

Throne Room

The elf king suddenly got up from his throne and walked towards the nearby window, facing the direction of the human empire.

A faint smile appeared on his face:

"Heh, it seems the alliance meeting this year will be much more interesting than I originally expected…" (???)

"Indeed my lord, we might need to take humans a bit more seriously from now on…." (???)

"Well, I always take them seriously, especially that human martial artist, Ashtel Rex, he is indeed a worthy opponent." (???)

"Should I send someone to enquire about the situation in the human empire, my lord?" (???)

"No, need. The next alliance meeting is not far away, we will know all the necessary details by then." (???)

The same things happened in several other countries many SS-rankers felt the mana flow and rumors started to fly all over the world for a time the whole world was restless. Some were happy after hearing this news and some were not.

.

.

Demon Kingdom, The prince's castle.

Alverto dismissed his retainers who has informed him of the recent rumors around the world. Although they couldn't feel the mana flow because the demon kingdom is too far away from the human empire. But the rumors have already spread all over the world.

Alverto's handsome demon face twisted in irritation and anger and destroyed the furniture of his room:

"tsk, it seems that I will have to do some changes in the plan, the previous plan was such a huge failure, not to mention that I didn't find the 'fragment-holder', now even this!" (Alverto)

.

.

Academy, outside the dungeon

Huge dark clouds suddenly started to appear in the sky and all of a sudden the whole sunny weather turned into a dark and gloomy one. In a radius of a hundred kilometers, the whole sky was covered with black clouds. These are no mere clouds they are formed with the concentration of mana to the point that mana has started to turn into dense clouds.

And the highest concentration is directly above Jin, who is holding Anna in his hands.

Suddenly a huge pillar of golden light pierced the clouds and directly descended on Jin. Everyone who was near Jin was pushed away several meters by descending golden light. The golden light seemed to be a direct blessing from the world itself, and the warmth of the mana seemed to be the caring touch of a mother for her child.

The golden light was so bright that it could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away, but strangely it does not harm anyone's eyes and does not cause any problems even if you look at it directly.

Looking at this, everyone in the vicinity was dumbfounded, this spectacle was so great that the whole human empire seems to have come to a standstill. Everyone seems to be looking in the direction of the divine light.

Looking at that pillar of divine golden light, Rio had only one thought in his mind:

"Enlightenment…" (Rio"
