Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

The quiet and dim room started to shine in white. A magic circle began to appear on the floor, and two men with dumbfounded faces appeared, staring at the empty air.

"This? What happened?".

Hiroshi, who was in a sitting position, glanced sideways and found himself inside a dim room with Malik.

Malik, who lay on his back, looked at the familiar ceiling. The place he used to hone his skill now appeared before his eyes. He lifted his body and turned his gaze sideways.

"This is the furnace in my shop".

"Excuse me?".

Hiroshi, who heard Malik's words, turned his attention to him with a wide gaze. Malik, who witnessed the globe that lay beside them, started to recall the time back.

"Mr Malik, would you explain what happened?".

"...We are being teleported".

"?!".

Malik starts to remember a piece of clue that Soma left behind when they were in a pinch situation facing the demons. Then, after deducting the clue, Malik assumed that the relic in his hand was capable of teleporting him to a place he wanted.

"Well, the truth is…".

He starts to relay his deduction, in which Hiroshi's face turns pale because of the absence of Soma.

"Then, Soma?".

"I am afraid he was not around us when the teleportation began".

Hearing the word from Malik seems like an ultimatum. It made his heart tighten in pain, and cold sweat started to gush from his forehead. His hand trembles as he grips Malik's shoulder so hard that Malik's face contorts.

"We must get back!".

"...Get off. I know that already, and I have been trying to connect my thoughts with the relic, but it didn't respond".

Hiroshi turned his gaze to the relics and discovered that the item looked bleak. Unlike the last time, he saw it when Malik finished the merging process. The item looked more vibrant, which can be assumed.

"...Is it depleted?".

"?! …I see. So, it was like that".

Malik took a high-grade mana core from his storage that he got from a Rank-A monster. He started to transmute the mana core and let the relic absorb it.

Hiroshi, who saw Malik doing his best, could only pray in his heart and believe in Soma that he could escape the trouble he is currently facing.

"Soma, please don't die!".

Gura managed to blow away Hiroshi. He saw that his opponent collided with his peers, and at the same time, he saved Devi's life. Then, ignoring the useless Devi, who was unconscious, he turned his gaze to Soma.

Upon witnessing him. Gura opened his eyes wide as he saw Soma, who lay in his stomach, desperate to get up from his position.

A horrendous thought started to emerge from within. Gura remembered that Soma had some grudge against him. But he didn't remember what it was. The last thing he remembers is that he was facing a child when he was swallowing the child's parents. Then he will abducting them before sending them to the institute and letting Invidia do the rest.

However, Gura has done those things multiple times. Many high-ranked awakeners are resting in their stomach while their child is also dying or lucky enough to turn into a demon.

After recalling his past memory, he starts to plan something that will invoke Soma's trauma. He assumed Soma's parents were also being swallowed by him.

He wanted to see his frightened face. It made his heart leap in joy.

"...It's time to eat, huh?".

There is a strange thing happening between the two human sides. A tiny globe starts to appear from the storage, and it emits a glow, creating a magic circle before it swallows them from the place, disappearing without a trace.

"Tch, so they unconsciously used the relics, huh. What a convenient and bothersome relic that was".

As the one who has the same rank as Invidia, Gura is being informed what the items in the auction he must get are. One of them is the tiny globe. A relic from the past that has the ability to move around the dimension by bending the space and laws that are contained within the world, creating a shortcut to travel to a faraway distance in a blink.

"...At least there are still the other items in that kid's hand".

Gura turned his attention to Soma, who was stunned still with his eyes opened wide. Gura spread his lips as joy started to invade his mood. He raised his feet slowly, bringing him towards Soma.

Soma, whose throbbing heart lessened, regained his sense of freedom for a bit. But he still lost his sense, making him numb to everything around him. Soma grits his teeth and turns his body to the side, trying to wake up. After struggling using his weakened hands, he only managed to turn upside down, giving him a hard time breathing.

"Come on, you can do it".

He clenched both first and pushed him from the ground. Then, from the corner of his sight, Soma saw Hiroshi and Malik being close to each other. Suddenly, the tiny globe in Malik's possession appeared, emitting light and then creating a magic circle that swallowed them before disappearing from the place.

Soma, who witnessed the scene, eyes opened, and his jaw slacked down. His mind halts for a moment before he sighs and realizes he is being accidentally left out.

From his point of view, the two adults that are with him accidentally activated the relic power. Sending them to the place that Malik had in mind.

"...Well, at least the relic is working".

"Well, well, well. what do we have here?".

A huge shadow started to loom. Covered Soma's body, blocking the light that came from the glittering sky. He raised his gaze and saw a monster with two mouths and tentacles behind his back staring at him amusingly. Soma exhaled the air that he held and desperately raised his body.

Gura slowly awaits for Soma manages to stand on his own feet. Then, after Soma managed to stand, Gura thrust his right hand and grabbed Soma's throat, lifting him up in the air easily.

Soma, who is being gripped in the throat, with his remaining strength, thrashed, but Gura's grip still remains firm. Using his nails, Soma starts to scratch Gura's hand, but his hard skin makes his nails break, and blood starts to trickle across Gura's hand before it falls to the ground.

"...Look at you. A weakling that can't even escape my grip after spouting those provocative words to me. Heh, where is your courage, boy?".

The grip on Soma's throat intensified as he had a hard time inhaling some oxygen. But he keeps his gaze sharp and doesn't want to lose in the situation.

Seeing the strong light in Soma's eyes made Gura sneer eerily.

"That, right. I want to see how far you can keep that composure".

"Ack?!".

Soma began to gasp for air as his vision started to turn blurry. ".. Help me!". A single thought echoed from the bottom of his heart, looking for help.

{...Don't worry, Soma. I will help you. Now, rest and leave everything to me!}
