Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 1

Prologue

He was an only child.

At least it means that you can be the main character in your family.

I thought I could go out and be the main character.

I was mistaken that way until high school.

After I went to college, I realized that I was just an extra.

I liked acting and I put everything into it.

“Hey, you can play the lead role in the play.”

“Are you good at acting?”

My acting skills worked until high school.

But as I got higher, there were many people who were better at acting than me.

Even guys who are better looking than me.

As I was living my life as an extra, I woke up one day and found myself in a novel.

“Hey, look over there. “That’s a mess.”

“Wow… you’re still in the 1st circle? “If it were me, I would have stuck my nose in the plate and died.”

The Count’s son of a bitch.

It’s extra.

The main character in the novel is also brutally killed.

“driving me crazy.”

Even after coming to another world, there was no time to despair over the fact that I was an extra.

Even though I was the main character and an extra, I had to live first.

however.

“This… isn’t bad?”

The life of a crazy extra is pretty good.

“What is that guy!”

The drama director’s voice filled the filming set.

I turned my head to look at the director and trembled.

His hand was pointing at me.

The director shouted at me.

“hey!”

“yes yes!”

The director’s mood was so fierce that I stuttered without realizing it.

I don’t know what it was, but I was sure it was yelling at me.

When I saw PD with his eyebrows furrowed, I cringed even more.

It is a position that was obtained with great difficulty.

It would have been a big deal if the PD noticed it for no reason.

“Are you planning to ruin the drama? “Why are you running around alone, damn it!”

It was unfair.

It’s not that I wasn’t good at acting, but does it make sense to say that it was a splatter?

In the first place, the role I took on was suddenly that of selling socks on the street.

It starts from there, but what should I say if I say it jumps here?

All kinds of excuses were floating around my lips, but I held them in and lowered my head.

In times like these, the way to survive is to admit your mistakes and bow your head rather than making excuses.

“sorry.”

“sorry? Hey, if you don’t do it right one more time, it’s over. okay?”

“I will keep my head straight and do it right.”

The director eventually stopped berating me.

Then, he glances at the lead actor, then walks away and goes behind the camera again.

‘Damn it.’

I didn’t do anything wrong from the beginning.

It’s just a battle of spirit between the actor playing the main character and the director.

The actor was late to the filming set, and the director just tried to catch the number of cases somehow and reshoot.

Sadly, that number was just me.

‘Fuck…’

It sucks.

I feel bad because I am being criticized by someone else even though I did nothing wrong.

But what can you do?

Extras have their own lives.

As I was just an extra, the best thing to do was to pretend not to notice and keep my head down.

This way, you can get something more.

“Okay, let’s go again!”

At the director’s words, the other actors checked their movements one last time and took their positions.

“Ready action!”

The camera started rolling.

I did my best to play the sock seller.

Is the battle between the director and the lead actor not over yet?

It was only after filming the same scene twice more that it passed.

Normally, the scene would have been shot once or twice and received the OK sign, but it took as many as six shots before the OK sign was given.

It was exhausting and difficult. He took off his sock seller’s uniform and lifted up the box containing the socks.

“Ha… Shiba. “If I had done it one more time, I would have thrown away everything, filming and all.”

At that time, I heard the main actor muttering.

A lucky guy.

He is in his mid-20s and is gaining popularity as a leading actor. Rising star.

No matter how hard the minor staff work, the only thing that matters is your own pride.

That’s why he’s so preoccupied with fighting with the director.

Some people are working hard to get even a small role.

i envy you. But at the same time, I was also respectful.

How difficult was it for you to get up there?

Wouldn’t it have been possible if I had just a little talent and a little luck?

Miscellaneous thoughts were floating around in my head.

“Thank you for your effort!”

It is the staff’s responsibility to clean up the set decorations.

But I hurriedly put away the sock boxes and the surrounding items with them.

I had to do something like this to get points from them.

After saying hello to the staff, I headed to where the minor actors were waiting.

Now my job is done.

“Oh Seonghyuk. great job.”

“thank you. mister.”

“See you next time on set.”

“See you again on set.”

I said hello to a close actor and left work.

The photographer says to see you again.

The life of a minor actor is difficult, as you never know when you might fail.

Since something like this had to happen to keep my mouth full, the greeting to see me on set again was like a kind of well-wishes.

“I’m going to take a short break!”

The voice of the staff.

I think he was taking a break between filming.

“Aaaah! “Oppa~”

“I was working while I was working and when I heard that I was filming you, I came out right away!”

“you are handsome!”

Fans of the lead actors gathered in a huddle and then flocked.

When they heard that they were taking a break, one or two fans sneakily approached them and everyone started moving together.

Dozens of people immediately gathered around the lead actor.

i envy you.

The sight whetted my appetite.

The acting was good and I’m holding on with the thought that someday I’ll be able to play the lead role… but now I’m close to my limit.

I felt like I couldn’t hold on any longer.

Even though I have never lived the life of the main character, I felt a sense of loss, as if I had lost something I had once gained.

“Ha…”

I sighed and turned around when someone spoke to me.

“Hey…”

“Oh yes. “Stay over there.”

He pointed towards the direction where the main actor was.

The woman who spoke to me stood still and blinked despite my words.

“yes?”

“The person you are looking for….”

“Oh no. “I came to see actor Lee Seong-hyuk.”

She smiled brightly.

At those words, I stopped and looked at the woman.

He clearly told me I was an actor.

All my life, you’ve been called that bastard.

The staff and director all called it that as if it was a promise.

But to me, you are an actor.

‘Actor Lee Seong-hyuk.’

The impact of this single word was significant.

Even though I knew it shouldn’t happen, anticipation popped its head out.

gulp. I swallowed and opened my mouth.

“Me…?”

“yes! “Actor Lee Seong-hyuk.”

It wasn’t an illusion.

She came to visit me.

While I was dumbfounded, the woman smiled and continued talking.

“It’s my first time doing something like this… so I’m a little nervous too.”

As she said that, she blushed and lowered her head.

My heart is beating violently. The expectation that stuck out its head tried to stick out its body.

“I’m a Loser fan.”

Ah…

I thought I stopped breathing.

The fan who had always existed only in my imagination appeared before my eyes.

“I really… thank you so much.”

“yes? no. “I am more grateful.”

When I spoke, the woman responded by waving her hand.

“This…?”

“It’s a novel I wrote. I wrote it with Seonghyuk in mind, so I hope you’ll read it. “It’s not finished yet, but…”

“I’ll definitely read it.”

He wrote the novel with me in mind.

How could I refuse? I immediately handed over the eco bag.

“thank you. Read it all and tell me what it was like afterwards.”

“yes. “I hope to see you again next time.”

“me too.”

The woman answered with a smile and checked the time.

“Oh, I have to go now…”

“Yes, you have to go. sure.”

I kept smiling and greeted her.

***

As soon as I returned home, I took out the books in the eco bag.

A whopping 8 volumes.

It wasn’t that heavy, but I was surprised that it contained 8 books, so I took a quick look at the eco bag.

It is an eco bag with a picture of a tree that is not that special.

what? I tilted my head, sat down, and picked up the first novel.

Maybe it was because I read so many scenarios and scripts that I was used to reading things. This is the title of the book

‘Master of Talent’

.

“It seems like a fantasy.”

I can’t read it now because I’m busy, but I read it sometimes when I was young.

I muttered softly, opened the book, and read it calmly.

I read each word carefully and tried not to miss a single letter.

This is a novel written by someone who is a fan of mine with me in mind.

I didn’t want to miss even a single word.

The overall content of the book was the protagonist’s revenge story.

The main character, who lost his parents to a monster, was so shocked that he went around catching all the monsters around him that day.

Then, he awakens a special ability that no one else has.

The ability to see the single greatest talent that another person possesses.

The brightness of the light varies depending on the size of the talent.

When I read the middle part of volume 1, I realized that the main character’s ability was not simply the ability to see.

After killing the Orc King, he gains the talents the Orc King had.

Rather than simply seeing the opponent’s talent, you could absorb it by killing the opponent.

The protagonist, who gained a talent for spearing by killing the Orc King, continues to kill monsters and learn about his abilities.

It was in the second half of volume 1 that the main character changed.

“hmm?”

I thought there was something strange about the plot, but it kills people out of nowhere.

It’s different from just killing monsters so far.

It’s my first murder.

However, the main character did not care much about it and continued to work.

“The main character seems like a villain.”

Since it was a novel, I didn’t have much aversion to killing people or anything like that.

Because I wasn’t a very nice guy to begin with.

“however… “I think this went too far.”

By the time I had almost finished reading volume 6.

I stopped reading for a moment and scratched my cheek.

I don’t know how the story will end, but the main character has now wiped out an entire village.

In order for the protagonist to gain more power, it was necessary to sacrifice the villagers, and the protagonist did not choose any means to achieve his goal.

Although I didn’t like the plot, I continued reading.

You’re not watching it for fun, you’re watching it because a fan said it was written with him in mind.

“But what part of it did you write with me in mind?”

I had a doubt.

I don’t know which part was written with me in mind.

Was it really true that he wrote it with me in mind?

It was given to me by a fan, so I can’t have questions like this.

Even though I had doubts, I read until the end of Volume 8, where the main character ended up becoming a massacre.

My eyes were a little tired, perhaps because I was reading eight books at once.

I squeezed my eyes shut and closed the book.

As I was lifting the eco bag to organize the books, something strange caught my eye.

“what? “I don’t think there was anything just a moment ago.”

An eco bag that only had a picture of a tree on it and nothing special other than that.

But now there was text under the picture of the tree.

“I will always watch over you…?What is this?”

That moment when I mumble softly.

Ping~~

My consciousness gradually disappeared as if the film was cut off.

My whole body lost all strength and I sat down.

uh?

I can’t even open my mouth.

My mind turned white and my eyes turned dark.

Then a sound passed by my ear.

-I look forward to your story.

[‘The Nameless God’ begins to watch your story.]
