Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Soma, unusually, had his mind lessened because of the presence of his aunt as he began to tell the story about his childhood.

Some of the people in the room had heard it but not in detail. Hiroshi, Hisako, Hina, and Xiao Lian, who knew his past, tightened their hearts because they knew the story was not a pleasant one to hear.

Serafina, Beatrice, Xiao Rui, and her trusted assistant decided to join dinner in place. The three of them pry open their ears, for this one is a good chance to hear his past.

"Well, where should I start?".

He takes his time for a while before eventually starting, where he still vividly remembers his childhood memories with his parents.

"...They were good parents and sometimes acted lovingly toward each other. It was a happy moment, they always spend time with me despite their busy schedule. At that time everything went well until suddenly that man came up.".

Then, all of a sudden, the wholesome story turned into a gruesome one after the death of his parents.

Serafina, Beatrice and Xiao Rui had all of their faces whitened, and their figures stiffened in their place. Never had in their wildest dream that Soma had that kind of past.

Beatrice's eyes blinked before it was covered by glittering tears that started to accumulate, her heart clenched in grief knowing that. She began to understand that day why Soma had to react like that the moment she forced him to call her mother.

As for Xiao Rui, her eyes were filled with tears streaming down, hearing about her sister's tragic death and Soma's life, but despite the intense grief she accumulated in her heart, it is also mixed with infuriating anger toward the demon who destroyed her sister's family.

The story escalated further about how he became one of the guinea pigs for the Red project, being rescued, living like a marionette with no purpose in life, just searching for a way to die. He also shared how he helped people in need when a Demon appeared in front of him, and Soma became a demon himself.

Eyes in the room were gathered upon the young boy, who seemed to have experienced something far greater than any of them combined. Some of them already know of the cruel world they live in, and after hearing Soma's stories, they felt a bit compared.

"Well, so it was like that. I still don't know about that demon's whereabouts but I believe I have killed him at that time. So…".

However, something is still bugging him, and he wonders what it is. Soma then continued the story of what he wanted to do and the reason he sought strength more than anyone else. He spilt all of it without leaving anything behind.

"Xiao Ma, I'm sorry I am not there when you needed me the most, and I truly thank you for not giving up on living. Thank you".

Xiao Rui walked out from her seat and embraced Soma from the side, tightened her hug as if to say she would never leave this boy side ever again and vow to protect him from now on.

Tears trickled down her cheeks as they dropped into Soma's head. She and Beatrice and Serafina, who had heard the story for the first time, bawled their eyes.

Serafina, for example, after hearing about Soma's past, glanced at HIna and Xiao Lian, who seemed calm upon hearing it. Still, in their eyes, she could vividly feel the desire to rush toward his side and support him.

She began to get quite lost in thought about the event that had taken place, and it once more strengthened her desire to protect and support Soma with all she had.

After the heavy mood that enveloped the room, the girls began to liven the mood by sharing some of their stories about how they met Soma. That night, everyone had a blissful night, and everyone went off to their own room.

However, there is some commotion when the girls decide to sneak up and go toward Soma's room at night. But their respective mothers stop them, telling them they are too young for that and still need to consider the boy's feelings before they back down for now.

Inside a private hotel, the luxurious furniture was hidden by shadows because of the dimly lit room. A lone man sat beside the room's windows, gazing outside, seemingly lost in thought.

In front of him is a bottle of fine wine that ages well, a glass, and a phone, showing the man with a melancholic expression.

"Wei'er".

Jiang Ling's voice was soft and meek, starkly different from what he had in the earlier noon.

The figure of his son couldn't get separated from his own mind, and currently, he is asking his subordinates to search for a doctor, scientist or whatever someone that can save his son's life.

He even put a huge amount of money into it and will do whatever it takes, even if it costs half his life.

Then, a sudden vibration from his phone broke him from his daydreaming, and when he looked at the caller's name, his eyes shot wide open. He hurriedly answered it.

"Yes, how can I help you, Mr Damian?".

His voice gradually turns brighter as he is offered a deal by the most influential person on the planet. Only later does he know that Jing Ling is already approaching the point of no return.

*****

Earlier in the morning, when the sun was just about showing signs of waking up, Roland, who had already completed his morning practices, received an email from Jiang Lings about his son.

Looking at the email he received, Jiang Ling seems confident in his words about bringing his son back from that state.

"Hmph, how foolish".

However, when viewed from another perspective, his brain starts to perk up, and he understands what his wife is thinking.

From the moment she first contacted the Jiang family until she involved Soma, Viana had planned this.

"So, it becomes like this. As usual you are a terrifying one".

Roland's scalp turned numb after somehow understanding his wife's plan. He put off the phone while wiping the sweat on his temple before returning to the manor he was living in.

{Hello and good morning. Welcome back to the Martial Arts competition on the fifth day. I personally thank you, guys, for being loyal to witnessing a young talent from worldwide that gathered in the Academy. I hope that we can entertain you again today. With this, the fifth day of the competition officially started}

A loud and energetic emcee welcomed the bustling crowds that had gathered in front of the stadium, and the festive atmosphere was more wild than ever.

Soma and his group had to form a line to enter the VIP room under the glare of the warm sun. At first, they decided to arrive a little faster than this, but Xiao Lian's morning behaviour delayed their departure.

The girl in mention was standing beside Soma with a hunched back and a gloomy feeling surrounding her figure.

"Xiao Lian, cheer up!".

"Mm".

Her languid mood worsened. It was not like she was being fried by other members, but the reason she was feeling this way, was.

"She didn't wake me up!".

Earlier in the morning, Soma, as usual, spent it doing his daily quest. Hina and Serafina, who rarely show interest since they returned to the Academy, decided to join.

After hearing the news, Xiao Lian, who sleeps with her aunt, grumbled because she didn't get woken up by her, who rises early before sunrise.

Feeling left behind, she decides to protest to her aunt, but instead, she is pinched on the cheek.

"Mmmm".

Xiao Lian's cheek inflated, which garnered everyone's attention because of how adorable she was.

Soma, who saw her, smiled helplessly and shrugged his shoulders. He raised his right hand and began to pat her defenceless head.

"Next time, I will wake you up in the morning".

"!? Promise?".

"Yeah, I promise".

"Mm, good, pat my head more!".

"Okay".

Hina and Serafina, who saw the scene unfold in front of them, had to swallow their instinct to ask to be patted by the boy they liked. Meanwhile, the parents couldn't hold back their nasty side, grinning meaningfully in the morning.

After some time had passed, it was finally Soma's turn. Before Serafina could show the paper in her hand, Soma took out the golden card Vianna had given him, in which case, almost creating a commotion as he didn't know the true worth of the card itself.

As the group entered the corridor, they finally entered the VIP venue and sat in their usual place, garnering attention because of how conspicuous their group were.

"Then, everyone, I will take my leave. It is about time for me to enter the Arena".

Soma, who watched his group take their seats, informed them while standing on the sides.

"Good luck, Xiao Ma".

"I am sure you will win again this time".

"Be careful out there, Soma".

Xiao Rui, Hisako, and Beatrice expressed their support. When Soma turned to the girls' side, he received only one glance, and they simultaneously said.

"Finish it, quickly!".

Soma, who heard their support, smiled wryly and nodded his head before leaving the room.

"Like they say. I will wrap this match swiftly".
