Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Project Red, from the novel Chronicles Saga that Soma read, was the project conducted by one of the seven subordinates from the Great demon lord, which involved many innocent children who were orphans, in grief, broken, and lost with no way home. The institutions enticed them using words like power, wealth, wisdom, and shelter, making them easily deceived and searched test subjects.

There is also a grown-up man, which consists of a bandit or someone who has abandoned humanity itself. The project was intended to create a Demonic human.

Because the Demon Race from this world was something that was not born through race, they were created by using the devil's blood that is scattered across the globe.

As Soma recalled in the story, the project and the institute were already raided five years ago. The organization perished on the planet as they witnessed all of them being captured or killed.

However, Soma is aware that the project has continued even until now, and one of the reasons for that is the tragedies that struck him the moment he transferred into the world of the novel.

The search for devil blood andnthen used to create a mass of demon army that will march for war following upon the awakening of their rulers, which will happen in the future.

As the silence kept hanging in the air, Soma tried to wait for the answer from the man. The man rubs his face and turns his gaze at Soma. His eyes revealed an immense sorrow and sympathy directed at Soma.

Soma felt uncomfortable upon receiving those gazes, but he should bear with it, for he needed this man's cooperation in infiltrating the auction place. Soma waited for the man in front of him to regain his calm as the man kept his face closed using both hands.

The man released his hands from his face and faced Soma in the eyes. His calm eyes keep his gaze straight before he exhales a huge amount of carbon dioxide through the atmosphere.

"..So, uncle, did you have the item?".

Upon listening to Soma's request, the man began to recall all the equipment and Items in his possession. He rubbed his jawline with a well-trimmed beard before a flash of light bulb appeared on his skull.

"...I have a couple of them".

"Really?".

"...Yes, wait a minute".

The man turned his back and went toward the furnace or a small factory he created to produce those amazing equipment and items on display.

"Sorry for the wait".

Soma turned his gaze to the sound and found the man was holding a two small rectangular box that contained an item on it. Both items had a similar appearance with their thin silver chain and a tiny black gemstone placed onto the silver ornament.

"That looks cool".

"Thank you for that. Here are the items you are asking for, Mirage necklace".

The man put both necklaces with the same model and size on the counter and presented them to Soma.

"Mirage necklace".

The name felt familiar in his ear, but he couldn't recall the necklace abilities. Soma knitted his brows, regretting that he did not borrow the appraisal glass in Hina's storage ring that he found in the trial gate.

Sensing the distressed boy in front of him, the man tucked his right hand toward his pocket on his leather apron and took a clear round glass with a tiny gold chain on its side.

"..Here, use this!".

Soma turned his gaze and saw the items the man had in his hands. He was wondering what item that was until a realization struck his brain.

"This was an appraisal item?".

"Correct".

The man nodded his head, showing his lifted corner mouth. Soma's body stiffened as the man presented him with a monocle in his hand. He looked at the man's face as the man gave him a nod. Soma hesitantly took the monocle and placed it near his right eye.

[Mirage Necklace(Epic): Item for camouflage, could change the wearer's appearance as the user imagines. It could not transform the user's appearance. Consume mana 100 for one hour

Skill Stealth: Erase every trace of the user from Presence, odor, heat, and footsteps. Using Mana 100 for the second]

A translucent window began to appear, showing the details of the item's description.

"..This is perfect. Uncle, did you make these?".

"Yes".

Soma opened his eyes wide. He was so surprised at the rank of the item in front of him. It was an Epic rank plus skill item created using Human hands, not from the dungeon or gate like Soma found his Epic grade items. The skill is a useful ability that will let the user hide from everyone's eyes depending the amount of Mana the user spent. The items were more than he asked for.

The man in front of Soma is genuinely worthy of respect.

The corner of Soma's lips lifted as he couldn't hide the shocking revelation he was having today. Soma regulated his breathing to calm his excited mood before opening his mouth.

"Uncle, how much for the two items?".

"Considering the rank and its abilities. The item was 1,5 million Gold".

"Gold?".

"You didn't know? It was the currency we used in the Ark''.

"...Ah? I remembered it now".

The currency used in the Ark was Gold that humans farm upon entering the dungeon or gate. In the current era, the gold currency is the one that has the highest value among other currencies that spread in the world.

Soma connected his thoughts with the storage ring in his necklace, then took out a gold bar that shone inside the bleak room as big as a brick.

"Can I use this?".

The moment Soma put the gold bar on the counter, the man's face was dumbfounded as he saw the glittering surface of the gold pierce his retina, slapping him from reality and bringing him into his escapism. This was the first time for the man to see this clear, stark, pure gold lay before him.

"Um, are you okay?".

Soma waved his hand, calling the man's name, for he still had a blank face.

"...Ah, of course. Let me take the tools first".

The man snapped back to reality before turning to leave the counter and took the measurement tool that was used to measure the gold weight and purity.

"I brought the tool".

The tools the blacksmith brought had a unique appearance, as if it was a portable treasure box that fits in hand and could be bought anywhere. But there is a difference between them. The item before him has a round, clear, transparent sphere in the middle of its lid.

"..Then, please".

"Okay, I will measure its weight and purity of the gold. Here I come.".

He opened the lid of the box, and inside, there was a surface of a gleaming metal plate in silver. He puts the gold on the plate, and it sinks like scales.

Closing the tools, the two people inside the quiet room wait for the measurement to finish, and after five seconds that feel like a long time, the transparent sphere glows in green light, and the man opens the lid. Behind the lid, there is a digital number written the value of the gold.

"...Hooh. Weight 10 Kg, and its purity is 100 percent pure gold".

"...Hooh".
