The Extra's Odyssey Chapter 86 [Bonus Chapter] Revelation [2]

"Did we even read the same novel?"
Flip-
Lark opened a specific page in the diary and began reading.
"Infiltration Target: Umbra
Danger Level: 62/100

Goal: Potential-up Elixir, Sword of Eternity

Flip-
He opened a new page.

"Infiltration Target: Tartarus
Danger Level: 95/100
Minimum Requirements: Tesla-rank, Sword of Eternity, Teleportation Magic
Goal: To free Sandman
Note: Getting caught as a villain can make for an infiltration easier."
Flip-
"Target: Planet Delmond
Danger Level: Impossible
Minimum Requirements: Unknown
Goal: Rapid increase in levels and possibly ranks
Note 1: Planet Delmond is the place where the second protagonist will go under rapid growth in a few years.
Note 2: With note 1 as the evidence it can be deduced that the target planet has a high concentration of monsters and beasts to level up. If a secure method can be established a rapid growth in level is possible."
Flip- Flip- Flip-
"Target: World Tree Yggdrasil; Target: Cadmus Martel; Target: The four Calamities, Target: Third Protagonist; Target: ….."
With his eyes still closed, he looked up at me.
"What did you do back in our previous world to be like this?"
He waved the blue diary that held my plans.
"Did you read a novel or a book of mission statements?"
I sat across from him on the couch.
Glup- Glup-
Picking the glass of water I began drinking from it.
The words 'same novel' and 'back in our previous world' kept ringing in my head.
It felt like someone was knocking on a large temple bell right beside me.
"Pwah…."
"Did you calm down?"
"Yes"
I understood.
Denying the reality in front of me wouldn't do me any good.
His temperament, his words, and his actions everything were different. It hammered the fact that this 'Lark' was different.
The blue dairy in his hands had all my plans. At least the basic plan I made on the first day.
Everything in the diary was written from the perspective that I saw a future vision and gained that knowledge.
There was not a single word about my previous world or the novel in that dairy.
This made it clear.
"You are from my world and you've also read 'Hero has Returned'."
Lark nodded.
Taking a deep breath, I questioned him further.
"When did you transmigrate?"
He was sitting inside my room without my permission. Yet the alarms set up by Ward didn't go off.
Whatever he did to achieve it, I cannot do the same.
Lark was strong.
At my question, Lark grinned.
"I was born here."
My eyes widened.
Astonished, shocked, bewildered. My current self was thrown into disarray.
Gulp-
I felt the need to drink another glass of water.
"Can you prove it?"
"I can't. Not now"
Despite denying me, Lark was sitting calmly.
If what he said was true, then….
'I used Lark in the entrance examination and Dungeon of Trail for my go- No, can I say that I was the one using him or….'
'Was it him using me?'
I noticed several inconsistencies with my actions in the past.
I was angry with Lark. I was frustrated with him. I wanted nothing more than to kill him for messing with me twice.
But I never did anything.
Even during the Dungeon of Trials, I didn't kill him despite the perfect chance I had.
Then, I noticed one more thing.
Let's say Lark was a reincarnator, as he claimed.
But then why were his actions and behavior similar to the original Lark during the entrance examination?
It's as if...
'He was acting to trick me'
But this shouldn't be possible, unless….
My body chilled at the conclusion I arrived at.
Lark, who had been watching me, stood up and refilled my glass.
Shaaa-
Then, Lark worded the conclusion which I had arrived at.
"I knew someone was going to transmigrate into that body."
Gulp-
-Thud!
I drank the water in one go and slammed the glass on the table.
'Calm down'
I was getting pulled at his pace.
'Analyze everything that has happened. If he is here, he must have some kind of goal.'
I can't let him have the reign of conversation.
He was here and answering me. There must be something he needed out of me.
His actions of letting me have the manuals said the same.
'Besides, it isn't definite that he is a reincarnator.'
It is possible that he transmigrated only a few weeks ago.
"If you were hiding, why appear now? I don't think anything changed, no?"
"Something is changing."
My brows furrowed.
"What is changing?"
"The main story."
Swiiish-
Lark threw a piece of paper at me.
I caught it between my fingers.
'It's a picture'
It was a picture of an island.
The island had a volcano in the middle surrounded by three peaks and barren land.
The entire island was covered with forest, and rivers ran through it.
"That's the most recent picture of Byzander Island. The barren land is what's left of the Shadow fox's guardian cliff."
I closely looked at the image.
"How? Even if all the beasts from the Island fought over the Aether orb, this isn't the level of destruction they can do."
"The guardian cliff was destroyed when Mia fought the 5-star Kraken resting there."
I remembered seeing a giant eye in the pool beneath there.
Thanks to that, I didn't need to ask where the Kraken was hiding.
"If I hadn't ordered Kha'Jol to not fight and back away when humans attack him, the complete island might have already become inhabitable by now. Don't you know how important Byzander Island is for the story?"
"I know"
Despite the calm answer I gave, I was anything but calm.
'Kha'Jol? Is that the Kraken's name?'
'He said 'ordered' didn't he?'
(Nathan, I think I know what he wants.)
'Yeah, me too.'
"I let you take the Ether manual and the Legacy Art because they aren't important in the story. But couldn't you at least think of the repercussions your actions will have on the storyline?"
Leon has an alternative for Ether. This was the reason I took the manuals without hesitation.
'Lark wants to keep the story intact.'
It was better to say he was obsessed with keeping the story intact.
I still haven't found any difference between the novel and this world.
That was only possible if Lark had been making sure all of his actions were not affecting the story.
It was almost impossible.
'To keep everything the same as in the novel while growing himself stronger. How did he even manage that?'
If he wasn't strong, he couldn't order a 5-star Kraken.
He at least must have some kind of powerful skill.
"You knew I was going to take the manuals. If you didn't want Mia coming to the island, shouldn't you have stopped me from exposing the aether orb?"
Lark sighed and nodded.
"I never thought the coming transmigrator will do what you did. How could have I known that someone as crazy as you was coming?"
"I don't think my actions were illogical."
"Logical actions? Yes. Sane actions? No."
Lark spun his chair.
"A normal person will give up and cry. If they are a little tougher, they will try to fight, then either pass or fail the exam. Not like you, someone who ran throughout the forest with broken bones and had enough guts to attract Enma-rank beasts near your location."
Lark stopped spinning and spoke to himself.
"If only the spell to hide the orb worked on us outsiders, too."
"Outsiders?"
"People like us. Someone who has read the novel."
