Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

\'Damn! What is this pain?\'

A gaudy and murky dream world filled with murmurs shattered instantly. The asleep Lucas felt an abnormal throbbing pain in his head as if someone lashed his head with a hammer again and again.

In his stupor, Lucas opened his eyes and stared around through his dark blurry vision wondering where he was while caressing his head.

"Ouch!"

Lucas shrieked in pain touching a big bump over his forehead that appeared out of nowhere.

Throbbing pain inundated Lucas, slowly accumulating his inner strengths. After a few breaths, Lucas finally broke out of his strange reverie.

Soft winds brushed past him and as his vision picked the images of the surrounding, Lucas first stared at it in disbelief and then stood on his feet, he wailed in panic and horror.

"What the hell? Where am I?"

He stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"This throbbing pain and headache…It\'s similar to when I first came to this world."

"Don\'t tell me, I have transmigrated once again."Lucas\'s expression became as pale as a sheet of paper.

Glancing around, Lucas\'s eyes fall on the tall canopy of trees reaching for the sky. With the lush vibrant green leaves and hard woody bark of canopies, the forest was dyed umber brown that seemed reeked of ages.

The sound of crunching grasses and the snapping of rotting branches reverberated as Lucas moved his feet. The composite organic smell of decaying dead twigs rose in the air like a wave accompanying the dense humid atmosphere after the rain that gave one the expression of gloominess.

"System…System…Are you there?"Lucas spoke, gasping heavily.

Fortunately, a familiar blue screen appeared otherwise he might have had a heart attack and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Heaving in relief, Lucas subconsciously twirled his finger only to find his storage ring missing. He jolted in shock and as he searched around, he saw he had been robbed of most of his things.

He carried a hidden knife near his knees and a voice recorder hidden in his shirt button but all of them were missing. The thief even took his shoe and left him barefooted.

There were two bracelets on his wrist and a cuff on his ankles which he tried hard to get rid of but he wasn\'t able to.

It was made of hard metal and weighed a bit making him uncomfortable.

"What\'s going on here? I was with Sir Harris a moment ago and now I am here?"

Lucas felt like going insane after finding himself in an unknown situation out of nowhere. Lucas gasped heavily and took a breath to calm his tensed nerve and decided to find out his situation and the place he had been thrown.

On looking around, his eyes fell on a blood-red slender object standing upright, just a few steps away from him.

"A stick?\'\'

The thing piqued Lucas\'s curiosity and as Lucas walked near it, he saw small parchment pasted on it.

Lucas pulled it out and read the contents.

[Yo mate, I hope you didn\'t lose your mind just because I dumped you into an unknown situation. If you can\'t survive this ordeal, you aren\'t fit for me to teach you my techniques.]

"Are you kidding me?"Lucas roared violently but suppressed his anger after reading the last sentence.

"Personal techniques," Lucas\'s eyes lit up and he skidded down the paper further.

[First thing, this is a sword, not a stick.]

Lucas blinked his eyes in disbelief, wondering how this guy knew his thoughts.

\'Can he even predict my thoughts?\'Lucas back shivered in fright.

[Currently, you are stranded in a forest and don\'t worry too much. You won\'t meet any beast above 3-Star. Your mana is locked by the bracelet so you can only rely on your physical body to survive here.]

Lucas\'s eyes became blank and the world around him spun.

"These are mana restraining bracelets,"Lucas screamed in horror. His mind was too preoccupied to notice the restrain of mana.

His face became as pale as a sheet of paper.

Restraining mana wouldn\'t affect physical effects like speed, strength and stamina. However, the recovery and regeneration would be greatly reduced. On top of that, he can\'t use mana to increase his strength, or speed or coat his sword to sharpen it.

With a deadpan expression, Lucas looked at the last instruction.

[Survive and cross the forest and then trek up the mountain. You will find me at the top. We will start training only after you reach here.]

"Wait! Is this it?"

"What about food, weapons or spare clothes?"

"What is this? A web series of Man in Wild in a fantasy world."

Lucas held his throbbing head, unable to think of anything. He looked at the back of the parchment for any other instructions but there was none.

He didn\'t know where he was nor did he know when he would get out. So, what about the classes? If we remain absent for too many days, disciplinary action would be taken.

"I knew this guy was psycho? But this is too much."

"No, maybe he is watching from the shadows and will appear if my life is in danger."

Lucas, biting his teeth, looked around while trying to remember all the survival skills he had learnt from tv shows.

Food, water and shelter.

Finding food and shelter wouldn\'t be a problem in the forest, however, finding fresh water is a deep headache. He didn\'t even have a container to boil and had to arrange something.

\'I wish I had a knife.\'

As he squinted his eyes at the reddish sword, he sighed looking at its stick-like appearance.

"This is the only thing Sir Harris had given me. Is this some graded artifact?"

Lucas extended his hand and grabbed the hilt.

"Oucchh!"

A current coursed through his body followed by a numbing pain that made him scream in pain.

Lucas pulled out his hand and saw a small cut over his thumb.

"Is it so sharp that it cuts my thumb?"

Lucas\'s eyes flashed with astonishment. He ran his finger across the blade carefully but he found it extremely blunt.

"Huhh!\'\'

"It\'s so blunt so how did I get the cut? Maybe there is a sharp edge at the handle."

He was too saddened to think anymore and decided to walk ahead and stop wasting his time complaining.

..........

On walking further, Lucas entered the dense canopy forest.

A tree here and a tree there. This was also a tree and that was also a tree.

Anywhere he went, all he could see was a thick long tree covering the sky that made it hard for him to discern the direction.

Standing before a tree, Lucas swung his sword with all his might.

QUANG!

After clashing against the tree, Lucas\'s hand trembled and the sword flew away like a rocket.

"It\'s surprisingly hard," Lucas murmured with disbelief. There was a large dent at the spot where the sword hit. The strike crushed the hardwood of the tree.

Lucas blinked his eyes for a moment and then turned his gaze to search for the sword which had flown away.

Before Lucas could take a few steps, a ferocious sound pierced his ears.

Hearing this, he suddenly turned his head.

"Kreungg!"

"Krenng!"

"Squirrels! They are so cute."Lucas was fascinated with the sight of lovely squirrels squirming their way towards him.

The squirrels running towards Lucas lunged at him. Not feeling any threat, Lucas just stood there staring at their cute puppy gaze while thinking about their cuteness.

However, at the very next second, he was proved wrong.

The squirrels jumped on him and crashed onto his gut.

One gave a headbutt while others gave a shoulder tackle.

Lucas who opened his lips to laugh imagining the ticklish feeling suddenly roared as his body flew back with great momentum.

It was as if a mad bull hit him and the impact was so strong that Lucas rolled onto the ground several times and stopped only after hitting a tree.

Pain invaded his whole body and his consciousness turned blurry.

"What fuck? Are squirrels so violent in this world?"Lucas cursed in pain.

"Wait."

It was only now that he realised his mistake.There is nothing ordinary in this world. Even a small house fly may prove fatal to your life.

Moreover, since his mana was locked, he couldn\'t feel their level and had mistaken them as normal cute beings.

The squirrel with a puppy look came straight for his life but Lucas wasn\'t going to fall for their tricks once again.

Jumping up, he stepped sideways and yanked the tail of one of the squirrels, he slammed it on the ground brutally and stomped on it brutally.

BANG!

The ground damped and the squirrel\'s body burst with blood.

[You have killed a peak 1-Star. You have received 1900 experience points.]

"It was a 1-Star squirrel."

"Nice. \'\'Lucas\'s eyes glowed and as he turned those eyes shone with greed towards the remaining squirrels, their whole body shivered in fright.

They thought that this was a normal human without any strength but who knew this guy is a menace?

"My cute little squirrel, where are you going? Come to me."

"Tonight, I will have a delicious roasted squirrel. So, thanks for the meal in advance."
