Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 318: Changed Lives...

Rex Mansion, Living Room.

”Do you know where Father goes when he enters seclusion training?”

Hearing Linkʼs question, Olin shook his head and said, with a complicated look on his face,

”I never asked him about it, actually; usually those kinds of places are meant to be kept secret, so I thought it would be better if I didnʼt ask about it...”

”Well... even though I donʼt know where it might be.. but I am sure heʼs not in the mansion at the least... I know every corner of this mansion, including all the hidden rooms...”

”Heʼs likely underground somewhere in the capital...”

Link nodded his head at those words and didnʼt pry further for information on Ashtel.

Although he wanted to talk to his father before leaving, it wasnʼt that urgent of a matter. ”Sigh... I wanted to ask him if it was really safe to go to the ʼDragon Valleyʼ... After all, the dragons are known for their arrogant nature...”

”And itʼs their home turf; we will be at a disadvantage if something happens...”

Hearing Linkʼs words of worry, Olin shook his head and said,

”Young master, they have invited you as a ʼGuestʼ... In other words, your safety is their responsibility. If something happens with you guys, then the Dragon King himself will be responsible...”

”After all, you are his ʼGuestsʼ...”

Link contemplated those words and asked,

”But, can we really trust the dragons? We went to the Elven Empire without any problems because humans and elves are on good terms...”

”But the Dragon Valley has been cut off from the world since two millennia ago; they rarely have any contact with the outside world... Their opinion of humans may vary...”

Unlike other races who were coerced into joining the World Alliance by King Allen, Dragons were one of the few races who never joined the World Alliance.

Moreover, they have established their home in the Dragon Valley, which is located in a sub- space of its own.

You canʼt even go there without a proper invitation.

Due to this reason, Dragons were totally unaffected by the demon raceʼs influence, and even if some miasma entered their sub-space, they could easily purify it with their insane power.

And since they were unaffected by demons, they never participated in the demon extinction war and never felt the need to join the alliance.

Even King Allen couldnʼt force them to enter a war that clearly had nothing to do with them, so they always remained neutral.

...

Seeing the concerned look on Linkʼs face, Olin smiled a bit and said,

”Young Master, you are worrying too much... Dragons are not foolish beings; they are wise and thoughtful creatures... Even they wouldnʼt want an unnecessary conflict...”

”If something happens to you and your group, they will be facing the wrath of the whole human empire... They arenʼt foolish enough to be too bad to you...”

Link sighed and said,

”But their home is located in a different space... I donʼt know if they will even be affected much...”

Olin smiled at Linkʼs words of concern and said,

”Young Master... Donʼt forget what kind of existence ʼAshtel Rexʼ is... He shattered the space- time fabric to nullify the ʼHeavenly Punishmentʼ just to save your life...”

”Do you really think he canʼt shatter the ʼSpace-Timeʼ fabric again to invade the Dragon Valley?... As a matter of fact, I donʼt think he would be much weaker than the Dragon King himself...”

”I believe in him.... You shall too...”

Link sighed after hearing those words and agreed.

He has never seen a person as strong as his father in his whole life.

Even Alverto, who was able to manipulate time, wasnʼt anything much in front of Ashtel.

ʼSigh... When will I become as strong as him... Heʼs so far away that I canʼt see the end of his power...ʼ

Link has seen his father use his power on several occasions, and even the slightest bit of Ashtelʼs power is enough to overpower anyone below rank SS.

Link has been chasing his fatherʼs back and has been following in his footsteps for years now. But he is still so far away from reaching Ashtelʼs level that the distance seems insanely big. Aside from Rio, who is his rival and a big source of motivation, Ashtel is the main source of motivation for Link.

Not only does he respect him, but he also idolizes him.

Link glanced at his clenched fist and said,

”Grandpa Olin... Do you think I will ever be able to catch up to my fatherʼs level?... you know... Heʼs quite strong and all... I sometimes feel very insignificant when comparing myself to

him...”

Before Olin could say anything, Link shook his head and got up to leave.

”Forget it; I am just talking too much... Itʼs time to leave now. Bye for now... also say ʼbyeʼ to Grandma Stella in my stead...”

With that said, Link left the room and headed outside to take the car and leave for the

academy.

Olin, who was looking at Linkʼs retreating back, smiled and thought,

ʼYoung master... You are worrying too much... If you look from my perspective, you are already catching up to your father, extremely fast, actually...ʼ

Olin has seen Ashtel grow up from a young snotty brat who liked to beat up all the kids in the neighborhood just for fun into a mature person who now protects the whole human empire and is the literal symbol of protection and power.

ʼUnlike your father... You already have a mature mentality from a young age; moreover, you have the support of amazing friends. My well wishes are with you...ʼ

Not only does Link have more talent than his father, he also has the mentality to reach the

peak of this world.

Unlike Ashtel, Link awakened ʼDao Rhythmʼ; not even Ashtel has that.

In other words, Link is already starting to surpass his father in some aspects.

...

Croft Mansion.

”I am late! I am late! Link will be here to pick me up soon, and I havenʼt even gotten ready

yet!”

Riya, who just took a shower and changed, was now having a hard time thinking about what to pack and what not to pack.

She hurriedly ran downstairs to look for her space ring, as she had forgotten it in the living

room.

But when she entered the living room, Damian and Farah had already placed everything that she needed for the trip.

Farah prepared her clothes, ironed them, and got them ready, and Damian took care of

packing the large boxes of candies in an orderly manner.

Usually Riya has to pack everything all by herself, so sheʼs always late, as sheʼs a disaster at

taking care of the small details.

But now that her parents are living with her, she has extra helping hands.

Farah handed over the space ring to her and said, with a complicated look on her face,

”You really need to learn a thing or two about keeping your things organized... I worry that

you will cause a lot of headaches for my dear son-in-law...”

Hearing Farahʼs words, Damian smiled a bit and said,

”Haha, I think by now, Link has already gotten used to her clumsy nature... He wonʼt mind it

much... just be yourself.”

Farah glared at Damian for a second and said,

”You spoil her too much... Sigh~ I am telling you, you father and daughter pair really cause a

lot of trouble...”

That happy and lovely talk between her parents made Riya finally realize that now she also

has parents like everyone else.

She can experience the life she always wanted.

Tears appeared in Riyaʼs eyes as she hugged her mother tightly and said,

”Mom.... Thank you for waking up... Thank you for everything... You are the best...”

Farah was taken aback by Riyaʼs crying face for a second, but then she patted Riyaʼs head with

a guilty look on her face.

”Forgive me for not being there for you when you needed me the most... I love you, my

daughter... I promise to always support you from now on...”

Even Damianʼs eyes went moist after seeing Riya cry over such a small matter, it turns out, and Riya was really living a hard life without her parents.

She wanted the love of her parents, and now that sheʼs finally got it, sheʼs so happy that she

canʼt stop crying over it.

Although everyone else may have forgiven him, Damian himself feels guilty for not being there for his daughters.

ʼI guess I will need to make up for all the time thatʼs been lost...ʼ

On that day, Damian promised himself to give all his time to his family. He retired from the

life of an awakener and decided to spend the rest of the time with his family.

...

After half an hour of talking and chatting, Riya finally got up as she noticed the message from

Link on her phone.

”Link is here; I should go now... Mom and Dad, bye, for now...”

Farah and Damian waved their hands to say bye. Riya smiled happily and entered the car, and she opened the window and waved her hand to say bye before the car left.

From today onwards, she will always have the support of her parents with her; she wonʼt have to worry about coming back to a house that is empty and lifeless with no one waiting for her in it.

Rio changed the lives of all his friends for the better, but his own life remained the same as before. How ironic...

Fortunately, he got to meet and love a girl like Lia, and that alone is more than enough for

him.
