The Extra who regained his past life memories

Amy calmed down and nodded.

"Hmm... you’re right. Let’s see how they’re going to do this."

She looked at them with a cold expression before turning away.

I looked at them as well.

Eithen was still mumbling his rubbish, and surprisingly, some people were actually buying into it.

As for Chloe...

She was looking at him as if he had just solved world hunger.

I found the whole thing amusing.

Before anything else could happen, Amy cleared her throat and spoke in a clear voice.

"Okay. Now I see you’ve made your choice. Then stick with it, and don’t think anyone can come back later."

She looked at her team—Elena, Luna, Elara, and me.

Her gaze softened for a moment before she nodded.

"Yeah. My team is already formed, and I don’t need anyone else. Good luck to all of you. We’ll take our leave."

Many of them hesitated.

They were probably wondering whether leaving Amy’s group had really been the right choice.

Even Eithen hadn’t expected this.

He probably thought Amy and the others would stay and somehow convince everyone to follow them.

While they were still hesitating, I pulled out a bag of potato chips and started eating.

I might as well enjoy the show.

Luna noticed what I was doing and extended her hand toward me.

I immediately grabbed her hand and shook it.

"Oh, it’s good to meet you."

She glared at me.

I just smiled and pulled out another bag of chips before handing it to her.

She huffed, opened it, and started watching the show while eating.

Before Eithen could say anything else to Amy, a booming voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Welcome to my Secret Realm. I am the master of this Secret Realm. Those who seek treasure and have entered my Secret Realm, be prepared to face its trials. Only the worthy shall obtain the treasures."

I looked in the direction of the voice.

And then I saw it.

A giant rabbit.

Luna’s eyes immediately lit up like twin suns.

"Wow! A giant rabbit! It’s so cute!"

I leaned closer and whispered so only she could hear.

"Hey, Luna, do you think we could capture that rabbit and become rich?"

Luna looked at me with an annoyed expression.

"Gray, you’re already one of the richest people in the kingdom. And even here, you have enough supplies to last us at least decades."

I coughed.

"But no one is against becoming richer, right?"

I smiled.

"And that’s not the point. The real joy is in gathering those treasures."

She nodded at that, but then gave me a threatening look.

"If you do anything to that rabbit, I won’t let you go."

I just smiled and tapped her forehead.

"You think I can take on that thing? It’s way stronger than us. It’s the guardian of this realm. It probably has absolute authority here. I’m just teasing you."

Luna pouted.

The rabbit continued speaking.

"This is the first trial. As you complete the trials and climb to higher levels, you will gain greater rewards."

It paused for a moment.

"As for the final trial, the winning team will receive the ultimate reward of the Secret Realm. They will have the chance to receive something they need."

The moment those words left its mouth, everyone’s eyes began to shine with desire.

"It could be an affinity with an element, a direct upgrade to one’s innate talent, or even something else entirely. You may receive anything that is within the power of this Secret Realm."

The crowd immediately became fired up.

Who wouldn’t want another element?

Or an upgrade to their innate talent?

Something that would normally be considered impossible was being presented as a possibility right in front of them.

The rabbit waited for everyone to become excited before continuing.

"Now, all those who have gathered here must choose a location and form your teams. If you choose to form a team, after another five minutes, your group will be officially recognized as a team."

"If someone forcibly recruits themselves into another team or attempts to join a team against its members’ wishes, the team members may vote that person out."

"I hope you all understand the rules regarding team formation."

"But remember this: once you enter the second level, you cannot switch teams. And if your team members vote you out, you will have to continue alone."

We looked at each other.

Amy, Elena, Luna, Elara, and I formed our team and moved some distance away from the others.

Then we waited for the Secret Realm to officially recognize us as a team.

While we waited, Amy suddenly noticed something.

Me and Luna were still munching on snacks.

Her eyes narrowed.

She cleared her throat.

"Gray..."

I looked at her with a mouthful of potato chips.

I saw Amy’s calm smile.

I swallowed.

"Oh, what’s up, Amy? We formed a five-person team, isn’t that nice?"

She nodded.

Then she pointed toward the potato chip bags in my and Luna’s hands.

Her expression clearly asked a question.

I noticed what she meant and smiled.

"Oh, this?"

I pointed at the chips.

"Your speech was so boring, so I got a bag of chips and started eating. Then Luna noticed and asked for some, so I gave her another bag."

A big black line seemed to appear across Amy’s forehead.

"Ah..."

She smiled.

"Boring, huh?"

Elena covered her mouth and chuckled from the side.

Amy walked toward me.

"You brat. First, you eat chips without sharing with your older sister, and now you’re telling me my speech is boring?"

Luna had the same expression as Elena, trying desperately to hide her laughter.

As for Elara, she didn’t dare laugh.

But she was looking at me with pure amusement.

I simply nodded.

"Yeah. You know I don’t like those kinds of speeches, so..."

Bonk!

Amy’s fist came down on my head.

The next second, my bag of chips was gone.

I rubbed my head and looked at Amy.

She stared at me.

"At least pretend you like it, you brat."

Then she shared my chips with Elena and Elara.

After that, she looked at Luna.

"Hmm... it seems you’ve found a partner for your mischief."

I immediately looked away.

"What are you talking about...?"

Luna quietly giggled beside me.

Then the rabbit spoke again.

"Okay. All the teams have been formed. The first trial of the Secret Realm is about to begin."

Its voice echoed throughout the forest.

"So be prepared."

Then the rabbit spoke again.

"I summon undead creatures throughout this forest. The first team to kill one hundred of these creatures will be able to climb to the next trial."

"The first team will also receive the most loot. The second team will receive less, and so on. The lower your rank, the fewer treasures you will receive compared to the teams before you."

The rabbit looked at everyone’s reactions before continuing.

"Now, begin the first trial. Good luck to all of you. I will see you in the next trial."

"And with that, I wish all participants the best of luck."

The rabbit vanished into thin air.

Amy immediately got into action.

"This isn’t a battle of strength. It’s a battle of agility. We should spread out, locate those creatures, and kill them as quickly as possible."

I raised my hand.

"How are we going to find out how many we’ve killed as a team?"

Amy sighed.

"Open your status panel and look at it."

I opened my status panel.

But instead of my usual status screen, a completely different interface appeared.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[WELCOME TO THE SECRET REALM]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[First Task: Kill 100 Undead Creatures]

[Kill Count: 0/100]

[Team Members]

Gray Starlight

Amy Starlight

Elena von Valtherion

Luna von Valtherion

Elara Oceancres

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When did this new screen appear?

As if Amy could read my mind, she answered.

"You never look at your status properly, so how would you know? This appeared when we entered the Secret Realm. The team function appeared after we gathered together and formed our team."

I nodded thoughtfully.

Amy looked at me.

"What are you waiting for? Go and hunt those undead creatures before the others get to them. Hurry up!"

She immediately sprinted away, lightning surging around her body.

I watched her disappear into the forest.

Then I blinked.

And yawned.

"Aaaah... too much work."

A small grin appeared on my face.

"But this seems like it could be fun."

I activated Void Step, Eclipse appearing in my hand I gripped it tightly.

Then I focused my perception and began searching the forest for undead creatures.
