Chapter 1 - Goblin shark?
She instinctively reacted, turning her body around frantically, trying to locate where the sound is coming from, but to no avail.
"What do you mean a second life? Is it reincarnation or something." She called out to the mysterious voice.
"Why yes, you are exactly right. All you have to do is step up and touch the podium, and your choice of reincarnation would be up to you." The mysterious voice said.
She then walks up to the podium and examines it closely, before placing her right hand on the hand-shaped imprint on the surface of the podium.
Her placing her hand on the podium has triggered the podium's hidden mechanism, as the whole podium starts to glow.
"Okay, so what now? What am I supposed to do after I activated the podium?" She asked the mysterious voice inside her head.
Her inquiry is cut short as a holographic blue screen, that which is commonly seen in sci-fi movies has appeared hovering above the podium in front of her.
Please choose a heritage Human Beast Fairy Demon Aquatic Undead
"Wow, this is some sci-fi shit that you have here! And what does it mean by your chosen heritage? Mr. Disembodied Voice." She asked the mysterious voice inside her head.
"Well, since you are being reincarnated. I thought that it would be best if I were to give you a varied amount of choices, to choose from. Plus in this world, that yours don't, we have something that which is called magic." The mysterious voice inside er head explains.
"Well, that is all nice and all, but I just want to live my life as an ordinary human." She says this to the mysterious voice, whilst her hand is accidentally pressed against the blue screen.

Without her noticing, she has already selected a choice, and there is no going back. There are no redo buttons.
System Log Congratulations! You have chosen the 'Aquatic Heritage'!
She then looks at where her fingers are pressed against the screen, and she immediately sighs, realising that it was her own fault for not looking where she leaned on.
After the system announcement disappears, the screen is then replaced with another.

"It would seem that my stats are below average, though it is hard to tell with nothing else to compare to, but what are these skill points used for." She asked the mysterious voice inside of her head for answers.
"The skill points are used to buy new skills from the monster system. To access your skill list please press and hold onto the skill point option." The mysterious voice answered.
Since she has nothing else left to lose, and she plentiful of time. So she does as what she was instructed, and pressed on the skill points tab, and hold it for 3 seconds.
The status screen then shrinks and minimises, switching to the skill list tab.

"Okay, I think I sort of got it, but what is a goblin shark." She asked the mysterious voice inside her head, whilst pointing on the species tab 'Red-eyed goblin shark'.
"Well, the Goblin shark is a rare species of deep-sea sharks. With a horrendously ugly appearance that resembles a goblin, and breeds fast and adaptive like a goblin. The red-eyed part is due to a special gift from your previous incarnation." The mysterious voice inside her head answered.
"Okay, so I'm basically becoming an ugly deep-sea fish with glowing red magic eyes. Oh great, never in my whole life would I expect that to come off my mouth." She said.
"Yes, and I know the exact feeling." The mysterious voice inside her head responded.
"Well, I'm now ready. Though is it possible for me to take this thing with me, but in a much smaller version. You know since Im going to be a fish and all. It may come in handy." She asked the mysterious voice inside of her head.
"Sure thing, but I'm going to have to take all of your skill points for it. The whole equivalent exchange thing..." The mysterious voice inside her head said, with a light grain of salt.
"Low blow dude! Low blow..." She talks back.
System Log You have purchased the skill [Appraisal] from the monster system! 100 skill points are hereby consumed! System Log You automatically learned the skill [Appraisal]!
"Well, good luck then. I hope that you have a safe journey then." The mysterious voice said to her.
"Wait a minute! I..." She didn't get to finish her sentence when the whole entire white room starts to break down, as the whole ceiling collapsed letting the waters flood in.
With the whole room flooded with water, her body is then enveloped in white light, as her body is then transformed into that of a Goblin shark.
This is her first step on the road to becoming the red-eyed demon, feared by all.

The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
