I thought I had life all figured out. A quiet, uneventful existence as the daughter of a humble woodcutter—nothing more, nothing less. Living in a world consumed by war, where chaos reigned 365 days a year, the simplicity of an extra’s life was the greatest blessing I could ask for. Our tiny mountain village was my haven. My father, James Brown, was the epitome of ordinariness—a 27-year-old single dad with plain brown hair, matching brown eyes, and an unassuming demeanor. He was the perfect symbol of the background character trope. Or so I thought. “Ladies and gentlemen!” I declared with pride. “May I present my father! The quintessential extra! Brown hair, brown eyes, chopping wood like the unremarkable man he is!” The knight commander in front of me said nothing, his expression unreadable. “…Right? He is just an ordinary guy, right?” I asked, my voice faltering. The silence hung in the air like an executioner’s blade. Then, out of nowhere, the staff in my father’s hands began to glow—a strange, mesmerizing blue light emanating from its worn surface. “…Dad?” I whispered, my heart pounding. To my utter disbelief, my father’s plain brown hair began to shimmer, transforming before my eyes. His dull brown eyes brightened into piercing blue orbs that seemed to hold the very essence of power. His once unremarkable appearance morphed into something straight out of a legend—his silver hair gleaming like the moonlight. “What the hell is going on?!” I screamed as the life I knew crumbled into dust. And then, gripping his now-radiant staff with the confidence of a man who had nothing to fear, my father—no, this mysterious warrior—snarled with a voice that chilled me to my core: “Give me back my daughter, you bastard.” My unassuming, extra life was shattered in an instant.

Do you ever imagine there's another world running right beside ours? . . . “Why don’t we put this in?" A woman speaks, her voice smooth, almost affectionate. “Nah, that’s too overpowered. Let’s add something different. Something… darker.” Then, a man’s voice interrupts, firm and unyielding. “Hey! Why don’t we make him a vampire?” The woman’s voice perks up, excited. A chill goes through me. Make what! vampire? Who! Me?! What—what are they talking about? The man lets out a skeptical grunt. “A vampire? Sure, that’s interesting, but it's too OP. Let's add something to balance it.” “Okay, okay,” she says, her tone still light, as though designing some casual new toy. “But let’s change the species—no blood-sucking from humans. It’s been done to death, too cliché right?” Blood-sucking? Humans? My mind spins. Are they actually talking about turning me into… some kind of creature? “Well,” the man chuckles, “there’s plenty else he could prey on in this world, isn’t there? We’ll give him something else to feed on.” The voices continue, completely oblivious to my horror. I lie helpless, only able to listen as they throw around options, shaping me, deciding my fate. My heart—if I even have one—pounds in the emptiness. I can’t see, move, or speak. But in their hands, I’m becoming something, one twisted decision at a time.
