Now reading: Chapter 22 - The ’Extra’ from ROSES HAVE THORNS, a Fantasy novel by JayCeeW.

-2 Days Before-

’Hi. My na is Austin, and I’m what you would call an ’extra character’, heh.’

Sitting in the corner of class 3-A of Future Academy with his elbows on the table and hands covering most of his face was Austin. A plain-looking boy who has brown hair and eyes and freckles running across his nose.

’This may sound a little strange but the world I’m currently residing in is actually from a popular dating sim called ’My Girlfriend Has A Dark Past And It’s My Job To Fix Her’.

He dramatically slouched back on his chair and looked out the window as he continued his internal monologue.

’Heh cheesy title I know but contrary to what you might think this ga had a whopping total of five sequels with each ga basing itself on each continent. Those continents are Eldoria, Tricea, Riverton, Eden and Myria.’

’My favourite, in case you’re wondering, is Eldoria. Mainly because it was the introduction to the series as well as its main heroine Elia Herst and its secret heroine Diana Valentine.’

’You play as the main character, and prince of Eldoria, Maxwell Dorothy, Jr. with the goal being to fix the heroines and unlock the secret harem ending.’

’Heh, cliche I know but what drove millions of players to play and demand a sequel to this ga was its amazing and engaging story but mostly the R-18 scenes hehe.’

"You okay, Austin?" His deskmate next to him asked, "You got drool running out your mouth and you’re laughing in a really creepy way."

"O-oh." He wiped his mouth clean with his arm, "Sorry if I’m disturbing you. I just thought of sothing funny, is all."

"As long as everything’s all right." The boy smiled and went straight back to studying.

’What a loser.’ Austin thought when looking at him with a smug face. ’Idiot doesn’t even know about the upcoming chaos that’s going to happen next week because of the cult.’

He then turned to look back out the window and monologue to himself.

’In my old world, which is loosely based on this one, I lived a relatively normal life. Had a wife and kid, although they left because, and I quote, "You’re not paying enough attention to us! You only focus and prioritise yourself on that stupid ga!". Heh, who’s the stupid one now you dumb bitch.’

’I’m glad that truck ran over when it did. Now I get to live my true life. One filled with magic and beautiful won.’

’If only I reincarnated as the main character and not this unknown ugly prick. That way I could snag all the heroines in a heartbeat. Oh well you win so and lose so. I’ll just steal the heroines from him another way, hehehe.’

The academy bell ran to indicate that the day was over. Austin grabbed his bag and quickly left the room.

"Hey Austin!" His deskmate stood up and called him, "Do you think that we can maybe hang-"

But he was already gone.

"-out....." He dropped his shoulders in defeat and slowly packed up his belongings.

’I gotta be quick.’ Austin power-walked through the hall.

’According to the tiline, Elie’s best friend and roommate, Amy tries to collect those version two display tags today but gets robbed instead. If I’m fast enough, I can intercept that and stop that from happening. That way I’ll earn so brownie points from Elie. Maybe even throw a little extra and score with Amy as well hehe.’

When turning the corner of the hallway he saw Amy and Diana talking. "Oh shit! Need to hide." He hid against the wall and waited for them to finish.

’It seems they’re talking about the tags. Good, I’m still on ti.’

Austin squinted his eyes to take a closer look at Diana and when he did, his nose flared as blood trailed from it.

’Sweet mother of.... look at those tits! She’s practically begging for soone to set them free. I need to put my di-’

"Austin? What are you doing hiding like that?" Before his thoughts could escalate, his deskmate walked up to him and broke his delusions.

’Oh crap!’ He quickly pulled his head away from peeking and looked at who interrupted him.

’This loser again?! Seriously, what the hell is his problem?’

"Can I help you...err."

"Y-you forgot my na again? I told s-six tis this week alone."

’That’s because you’re a nobody who serves zero purpose to the plot! At least have the common decency to know your place in the world and don’t talk to !’

"Sorry." Austin put up a facade. "It’s just that I’m really bad with nas."

"Y-yeah, you said that already..."

’Then take a hint and piss off already!’

He quickly looked to see if Amy and Diana were still there and much to his dismay, they’ve already ended their conversation and are walking their separate ways.

’Dammit! I need to move!’ He was about to turn the corner when-

"A-Austin!" The deskmate grabbed him by the sleeve. "I still didn’t tell you my na yet."

’I don’t care!’

"I’m sorry but can we speak another ti?" He broke his sleeve free. "I’ve got important business to attend to. You can tell tomorrow, alright? Cool. See you tomorrow then!" He ran away.

"Okay, Austin!" The boy waved. "See you later!"

Once Austin was out of sight, the boy smiled softly to himself and said, "See you later, my one and only friend."

...

’Oh crap oh crap oh crap!’ Austin was full on sprinting down the corridors hoping that he’d make it past Amy in order to find a good hiding spot and save her from the robber in the nick of ti.

’Co on... nearly made it out the exit gates.’

But right when he took one step out the premises, sothing grabbed him by the collar and yanked him right onto his butt.

"Oof! Who the fuck-"

"Excuse ? ’Who the fuck’, exactly what?" Standing tall above him was none other than his class monitor as well as the main heroine, Elie Herst.

"E-Elie! What a coincidence seeing you here ahaha..."

"Coincidence? I think not. I was waiting for you here."

’Waiting for ? Could it be that she’s in love with ? But we’ve barely even talked until now....’

Austin couldn’t believe what was happening. Normally Elie wouldn’t give even a mont of her ti to soone like him. She would either be training, hanging out with Amy or doing her own thing which involved a lot of brooding.

He sat there on the ground, staring at her minty coloured eyes that seed to look inside his soul.

’I-I think I get it. With you being who you are you’ve fallen in love with my mysterious charm, haven’t you Emy hehe. You couldn’t stand that soone like has entered your picture. I know how much you hate variables and I know your deepest darkest secret. I know that you are a-’

"Why are you looking at like that you creep. Stand up and co with ." Elie clicked her tongue and made space for Austin to stand up.

"W-where are we going? Could it be a date?"

"I must’ve misheard you. Could you say that again?" She turned and looked over her shoulder.

"O-Oh you did? Sorry, maybe I spoke too softly. I said-"

"I know what you said, you weirdo. I’m not interested in you. Now follow " She turned her head back and walked on.

"W-what? But you fell for my mysterious charm, didn’t you?"

"Mysterious charm? What are you talking about? You think you’re mysterious?"

"B-but you’re taking on a date, right?" He started twiddling his fingers.

"No. I’m taking you to the classroom. It is your turn to do after class duties, but you just ran away. As class president I ca to get you."

’After class duties?! I don’t have ti for that! I’ve got a npc to save and favors to gain! From you specifically!’

Austin tried sneaking away when he saw a chance but alas,

"Get back over here!" Elie grabbed and dragged him by the collar.

’No! My brownie points!’

When they reached the classroom, inside was a face that he didn’t want to see.

"Hi again, Austin." It was his deskmate.

"Why didn’t you tell Austin that he’s on duty, Gary? You’re making waste my ti when I have a tournant to prepare for."

"I did try to tell him, but he seed to be busy, and I didn’t want to disturb him. So, I decided to do it on my own."

"*tsk* That’s not how it works." Elie grew irritated. "Now I have to sit here and wait for you two to finish."

"Haha, sorry about that. Co on Austin, let’s make this quick." He smirked and purposefully showed Austin it while hiding his face from Elie.

’Fuck you Garreth.’

"My na is Gary." He said in a creepy voice.

"How’d you-"

"Less talking and more working!" Elie yelled.

’Dammit!’ Austin picked up a broom. ’There go my chances down the fucking drain.’
