Even the Extras Try Hard

A man tries to escape reality by taking a train trip.

“Is this a dream...?”

When he comes to, he seems to have entered the fantasy novel he had just been reading.

And not just that—he has possessed the body of an extra whose name was never even mentioned in the original!

“Does that even make sense?! ”

Before he can properly gather his wits, the original story has already begun.

Now, as the man who has become Nadan Nober, he must survive the events that will unfold three years later by trying to build a connection with the original protagonist...

“What are you doing there?”

It was lucky this wasn’t backlit; otherwise, he might not have recognized the boy standing before him right away.

Hair that gleamed like melted gold sparkled even under the dreary weather. A refreshing pair of eyes was slightly furrowed in puzzlement, and blue eyes like a summer sky stared straight at Nadan.

In that instant, a massive shock struck his mind. Before he knew it, Nadan let out a sigh. Ah, instinct is whispering.

This person is Azar.

Azar Erasmus.

The boy in front of him was exactly as Nadan had imagined him while reading Azar. So of course he recognized him at a glance. He could not even dare to imagine the protagonist in any other form.
