Why is Background Character the Strongest Now?

Shivam was just a normal guy.

A government employee finally living a stable life after surviving an orphan’s hell and fighting tooth and nail through every damn obstacle life threw his way.

He love anime, web novels, and his one true obsession light novels.

His favorite?

Transmigrated as a Third-Rate Villain.

The plot? Fire.

The fights? Insane.

The worldbuilding? God-tier.

And the characters? Untouchable—especially Marcus Ardent and Daelen Vorcrest, the last heroes of mankind.

But then came the final chapter.

Marcus dead. Daelen gone. The entire continent, erased with a single, lazy keystroke.

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!”

“What kind of brain-dead garbage ending is this?! You killed everyone for shock value! You threw away the best characters like trash!”

Shivam didn’t just hate-comment the author. He cursed them.

Then went to sleep.

And woke up as Ezra Celestrian.

The most forgettable side character in the novel.

A man who was supposed to be dead.

Only… something’s wrong.

Ezra isn’t weak.

He never was.

He was the strongest human side character in the novel—so talented, the author killed him early to keep the power scaling in check.

But now Shivam is him.

And the story is no longer in the author’s hands.

“Why the hell do I keep talking like a noble?”

“What the fuck is this ‘Divine Enemy’ trait!?”

The world believes Ezra is dead.

But Shivam’s done playing along.

“You dragged me into your broken story. You killed my favorite characters. You erased everything I loved for a cheap twist.”

“Fine. I’ll fix your mess. I’ll rewrite your story.”

“And when I find you, ‘Author’—I swear to god, I’m gonna shove that ending down your throat.”
