Extra's Guide To Taming Heroines

Shane died the way he lived his second life, fighting a war that was never his to begin with.

A mere extra in a dark fantasy novel, he spent years surviving by staying invisible, watching chosen heroes claim their destinies while he bled in the background.

He killed the Demon King in the end and faded to dust immediately after with nothing but regret and the bitter thought that he never actually lived.

Then, as if mocking him, the Goddess of Life sends him back to the very beginning, eighteen years old, academy first year, every stat maxed for beginner stage, and an Infinite Skill Tree that lets him buy any ability he wants.

At least that is what he thought but the system had other plans.

What begins as absurd survival scenarios quickly becomes something far darker.

Every choice Shane makes rewrites the story around him as the timeline he memorised is unravelling.

The heroes he watched die are acting differently, the protagonist he once killed with his own hands is standing right next to him in class, and remembers everything.

Worse, something that should not exist in this world is watching him from the shadows.

It has been watching since before he arrived.

Navigating an academy full of future heroes he's already watched die, a protagonist he once killed with his own hands, and noble bullies whose scripts he has memorized, Shane has to live thie hellish life once again, or was it really his life?
