Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

As you enter the place, you are welcomed by people dancing with one another graciously, and countertops filled with mirth and laughter of couples talking over a glass filled with liquor.

While the outer side operated a dessert shop, the inner side hosted a masquerade theme ball where people can greet one another with anonymous identities.

This place was quite popular among younger ones who always look for a way to hook up and get rid of their singlehood.

\'Parth would surely scream in joy if he was here.\'

\'So many fish to catch.\'Lucas chuckled.

Ignoring the romantic scenes, Lucas made his way to the bartender.

Tapping on the table, he sat down folding his legs and waiting for the bartender to appear.

"What would like me to serve?"

Lucas smiled underneath the mask and spoke in a mature tone.

"Hola..."

"The sunset is reminiscent of a lovely Femina which bewitches one like a Demoness."

"To get rid of my temptation please hit me with the Devil Springs."

Lucas\'s lips twitched a bit. His face almost twisted in the middle for speaking so sweetly like this.

The words were disgusting and cringe.

"Cavalier, your request is quite strong so I would suggest taking that room on the left side to the upper floor."The bartender spoke with a smile and rang the bell underneath the desk after gesturing for Lucas to move ahead.

"Gracias!"

"De nada!"

Lucas, finishing the conversation, walked to the side where a man led him inside. He followed him towards the upper floor which was restricted from the entrance.

Clearing the check post, the man stood aside and asked him to enter.

CLICK!

The first thing Lucas saw after opening the door was an empty dark room without any decorations.

In the middle, there was a table with a lamp on it.

Resting both his elbows, the man intertwined his fingers and propped up his chin on it.

Seeing Lucas walking in, he greeted him and spoke in a gentle tone.

"What service do you want?"

Lucas took out a tightly sealed letter without any emblem or postcard. Placing it on the table, he pushed it toward the man.

"Deliver this letter to the staff of Horizon."

"Keep the identity anonymous and the address of the inbox code is 2523."

That was the code of Miss Ami and the message would be delivered to the secret inbox where her aids and spies deliver valuable information, and this leads to the person who stands behind Ami.

The man observed Lucas silently.

Though the other party had hidden quite well, some things could not be hidden.

Such as age and maturity.

He had worked in this field for countless years, and if could not tell that this was a boy in his teens, then he was unfit to work in this field.

He was a bit surprised as people of this age who appear here were mostly nobles whose tone carried a bit of arrogance. There existed a surreal dignity surrounding them as they worked hard to learn noble etiquettes early but this boy did not have any, his steps were casual and steady.

Lucas, noticing the man\'s lingering gaze, smiled underneath this mask.

\'He might have already discerned my age. People working in this field had keen sight.\'

Deception is an art.

Unless you are a master in disguise, you ought to fail somewhere which could leak your identity. Lucas knew it very well.

The people here may not pursue the identity as they are one of the very best in this field and adheres to rules strictly, however, they may bend due to external pressure of higher authority.

Still, Lucas tried his best to hide everything about himself as much as possible. The letter inside it is not written but rather printed on the computer.

Lucas used gloves so that he wouldn\'t leave his fingerprints on them. Unless the other side had seer, tracking wouldn\'t be easy.

However, Lucas showed them what needed to be shown.

This would begin a chain of events.

"It will be done."

"How much will it cost?"

"It depends upon the person this thing is going to. You asked us to deliver this via the secret channel. We will trace it and deliver it. Unless we had a problem or the person you referred to is of higher authority."

"Give me a rough estimate."

"50000R-100000"

Hearing the price, Lucas almost vomited blood. This is too expensive. If he had not received the money a few moments ago, this plan would fail.

Weaker information guilds couldn\'t intercept this channel and deliver it. Lucas needs to deliver it on the secret channel to avoid the eyes of hyenas.

Vallaha was one of the few top and trustworthy information guilds. It had a very strong backing and in future, it would also play a very crucial role.

"Okay, I will make the payment earlier."

"I will come here often. I hope you don\'t take advantage of me by thinking of me as an ignorant kid," Lucas said with a grave tone.

The man\'s eyes stirred a bit and he stared at the piercing golden gaze behind the mask looking down on him.

"We will give you a discount on your next task, Sir."

"That\'s good."Lucas nodded, walking back.

Before stepping out, he lowered his hood letting the man see his black hair.

\'Don\'t disappoint me by sticking too much on the rule,\' Lucas muttered inwardly before stepping out.

.....

"I want to sleep."

"Damn! Today was my day off but I had to run around to finish cumbersome things. I should just take some sleeping pills."Lucas complained while yawning heavily

Closing his eyes, he covered his mouth to yawn but in this moment of carelessness, someone crashed into him.

BAAM!

"Kaykkkkk!"

His body turned around due to the hit, falling to the side.

Stars blinded his vision for a moment.

Through his hazy vision, he saw papers falling around him like snowfall.

Shaking his head to clear the dizziness, he suppressed the profanity from leaking out. From the way he was hit, he already knew the perpetrator and this was not the first time he experienced this.

Most of the first years had gone through this, and some even started to call this a tradition of passing bad omens.

And the perpetrator of all this was slowly getting up.

Sickly pale white skin and eyes filled with dark circles along with disheveled curly hair, she looked haggard and there was no sign of makeup on her face.

The Ghost Professor of 1st Year, Miss Shiya.

Her figure was comparable to his zombie figure when he just transmigrated.

"Sorry, Lucas!"She mumbled softly, sticking out her tongue.

"I wasted your time again. I hope I did not hit you hard."

"I am fine Professor Shiya."Lucas sighed.

Lucas wanted to rebuke her but what can he say? Her situation was quite pitiful on its own.

She had a great affinity with nature and spirits to the point that she can see spirits with the naked eye even without summoning.

The world she sees is different from what others see.

Hearing whispers of spirits all day and being accompanied by different types of spirits messed up her mind to the point she finds it hard to differentiate between reality and illusion. Being able to retain her sanity, even in this situation, was praiseworthy.

She always stumbled in her walk and hit others accidentally.

"It\'s okay Professor. Please take care of yourself."Lucas replied softly.

"Ummm!"Shiya nodded her head and started to gather the flies.

Lucas rotated his gaze to look for others who ran away after seeing the situation. No one likes to stay near her.

The students don\'t hate her but when one comes close to her, one feels their scalp going numb and one will feel a chill creeping down your spine because the spirits surround you.

Some of the spirits will even try to scare you. If you have an affinity for the spirit magic and you interact with them without any precaution, you will suffer from auditory hallucinations which will make you paranoid.

Lucas, who was used to this chillness, diverted his mind by picking up the folders that appeared strewn across the floor.

It was then his eyes widened, seeing round red balls of candy scattered around them.

His hair stood up in fear. He kept some drug-calming candy in his pocket in case of necessary situations. It might have been a splat due to a collision.

Lucas nimbly picked up the candies hiding them from Shiya however...

"Lucas, why are you picking up fallen candies and whose candy are these?"

"Professor, I don\'t like bitter things so I keep candies in hand. It scattered due to an accident."Lucas answered.

"Okay."

It was then a certain impulsive thought struck him.

His back was drenched in sweat.

Shiya who was busy collecting the files stopped when she heard a loud crackling sound assaulting her suddenly.

[Take it...Take it...Take it...]

[Silly girl, it will help you...]

[Take it.....]

[Take the candy…]

Her heart started to beat wildly as whispers of many voices erupted in her mind making her dizzy.

"Stopppppp!"She screamed, making Lucas jump back in panic.

"Professor..."Lucas hesitated on noticing her darkened gaze filled with extreme irritation.

GULP!

\'What did I do?\'

"Lucas, leave quickly..."

"Yessss!"Lucas, getting the signal, ran for his life.

Lucas, after gaining some distance, looked back.

"I will make sure I don\'t stumble upon her again. She is dangerous and may kill for silly reasons if she goes mad."
