Reborn As An Extra In My Own Novel

March 26, 2036—

First class on Tuesday—Gates And Dungeons

Well, that was what the class was intended to cover, but now...

"Class, I have unfortunate news to share with you all." Neko-sensei’s next words sent a chill down my spine; my eyes widened as though they were about to burst from their sockets, my fingers digging into my palms, tearing skin from them.

I hadn’t thought much of Rachel’s absence from her seat that morning, even though I could still sense the faint presence of death looming—I chose to ignore it.

But earlier today, before classes commenced, Hari’s classmate and friend had approached me, informing me that she hadn’t returned to her room the previous night, and since many had seen Hari enter my room, assuming we were distant relatives, they asked me about her whereabouts.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news..." Neko-sensei’s gaze swept across the room before she pointed at the projector. "But five students from the academy have gone missing, three of whom are first-years, and two of those three are from our class."

The point her conjured staff indicated was a PDF displaying the faces of the three girls who had been abducted.

"Because of this, no one foolish enough should leave the...."

Neko-sensei’s subsequent instructions didn’t even reach my ears, let alone register. It felt as though my heart was about to explode.

How reckless of me to allow Hari to be taken.
