Living as an extra in a dangerous fantasy academy game sounds manageable—until everything starts falling apart. The protagonist, armed with knowledge of the game’s narrative, only wants to survive. But survival in this world means more than hiding in the background.
Even the smallest decision causes ripples, turning overlooked details into major problems. As power struggles flare and romantic subplots clash with bloody quests, this third-rate villain must now navigate more than they bargained for—without becoming the next tragic footnote.
Plot Of The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide

In Chapter 73, the status quo of the academy could begin to fracture. Faction leaders are no longer content with staying in their lanes, and conflicts among students could trigger unwanted consequences. If a new transfer student appears, their ties to the protagonist’s past decisions could reveal deeper layers to the narrative.
The protagonist’s careful neutrality might start to crumble. A previous choice to manipulate an encounter or avoid a main event may now return in unexpected ways. Characters from the original game story are already acting off-script—and that makes every next move riskier.
Expect more emotional tension in this chapter, especially with characters beginning to question the protagonist’s real identity. That looming doubt may make allies hesitate and enemies more eager to strike. Social connections are as crucial as combat strength in this academy.
A looming arcane threat—perhaps one previously thought solved—might reappear. The protagonist’s so-called third-rate villain status could finally transform into something game-breaking, if their hidden stats or rare item reserves come into play at the last second.
