Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

After the event that shook the Lin family residence, several hours later, the Soma group relocated into the mansion, bringing Lin Jia, who was still unconscious and demonized.

No one had ever said a word, as the atmosphere around them was still tense from the commotion Soma and Lin Fan had caused. Both parties decided to put aside the matter and think of how to solve the problem that happened to Lin Jia.

As for Soma, he stays away from the group, walking three steps behind from the group, contemplating how the hell he must figure it out. Does the Lin family keep this matter until the day they found a cure or let Lin Jia become a part of their family despite being demonized.

From his experience reading the novel, Soma had never encountered a problem where a person who has been demonized returns to normal human life and can live to tell the tale.

He was distraught before he found himself standing in front of a vast twin door, plain with no extra decoration or carving, only a brown wooden door that would lead him toward Lin Jia's room.

With a creak, Lin Fan, who carried his sister on his back, pushed the door inside, and the guest marvelled at the interior. It had a wide space for one person to live in, a king-size bed with a pink frame, and a thin, see-through curtain to give her some security.

On the front of the bed, there is a huge wardrobe, probably stuffed with her clothes and other items inside. Shelves filled with collections of books and fiction were on its side, near the window, where the sun still glared fiercely. Soma could see three-seater sofas arranged in a square formation, trapping a round granite table in the middle.

Lin Fan carefully put her sister on top of the bed and still couldn't fathom what had happened to her. Yesterday, she was still her energetic sister, who had rejuvenated from her illness, running around the mansion with a bright smile on her face. Currently, her appearance has changed so much that Lin Fan feels grief.

Without minding the others, Soma stepped forward and approached Leon, who had a contorted face and seemed regretful about something. He reached out to his hand, baffling the others.

"Soma!?".

Leon's body stiffened as he felt a strong grip on his right wrist, giving him a slight jump.

"We need to talk!".

Soma intends to drag him away from the place and have a small talk to get some information from Leon, who seems to have it. However, his protector, Tiara, stands in his place with a fierce glare in her eyes.

Tiara stood tall in front of the boys with crossed arms and an aloof expression despite the situation they were in.

"Wait a minute, where do you think you are going to drag him? Don't tell me, are you suspecting Leon in any of this!?".

Akane, who happened to carry Lucy on her back, trembles as her face turns pale; seeing Tiara pointed at Soma aggressively, knowing Soma's temper, Akane feels dread all over her face, but Leon gets the better of them.

"It's okay, Tiara, Soma had no intention to do that. We just wanted to have a chat!".

"Leon…".

Hearing Leon stand for Soma, Tiara's expression softened, but she kept her glares at Soma at any time she ever had a chance.

"Well, they just want to talk to each other. So, please forgive Soma's sudden outburst? Okay, Tiara?".

Hina stepped forward and offered her apology in Soma's stead, after which Soma also began to clear his mind and lowered his head for a bit.

"I am sorry for my rudeness, but I have something to talk about with Leon. So, if you may, excuse us."

Soma exchanged looks with Hina, thanking her for managing his distressed state. Soma shook his head and began to walk away, followed by Leon outside the room. Then, he activated his skill.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

As the two finally reached a corner, Soma stopped and looked outside toward the window glass, which reflected his figure, which had no expression whatsoever, and Leon, whose face was knitted in worry.

Soma glanced to his front and saw the Lin family's subordinates working tirelessly to collect debris from the earlier explosion, putting it on the back to get burned later. He exhaled, turned his back to face Leon, and stared right through his eyes.

"Leon, you know what happened right?".

After being addressed with serious intent, Leon lowered his gaze, worked up the courage to explain, and then nodded firmly.

"...Yes!".

"Tell me what you see!".

Leon began to tell him what had happened earlier. When his group and Lin Jia were having a relaxing tea party at one of the balconies, a servant with a pale face and an unhealthy complexion came.

At first, he thought it was weird for a servant to have forced himself into that state, and that also made Lin Jia concerned, but when he was told, the servant only lightly smiled and said.

"Everything is normal, I was having Anemia for a bit and will take some rest after delivering this drink to you and our guest!".

"...".

"Then Lin Jia was feeling thirsty and took a sip from the Tea that was served by the male. But at that point I don't know the outcome will turn out like this".

"What happened?".

Leon's face was knitted, his fists clenched tight. He felt furious at the tragedy in front of him.

"As soon as she gulped the tea, the male servant that served us tea began to convulse and dropped down to the ground, inciting our worries, but…".

"...What?".

For the first time, he knew Leon Soma first-hand, seeing his angry expression.

"...The man's body suddenly swelled and then exploded into a bloody mist, leaving no trace at all as he was living".

Soma frowned, and from that, he could process the other things regarding the transformation that happened to Lin Jia. "I see it now, because of the shock trauma in her mental aspect that Lin Jia received after gulping the diluted devil blood, transforming her into that state. Tch, I didn't expect someone had infiltrated Lin Fan's surroundings as well, this is quite troublesome". Soma grumbled inside his mind. He turned his head to the window, forcing Leon to swallow the rest of the story.

"That bastard, just how far he wants to dismiss Lin Fan to that state!". While cursing in his heart, a slow step from a booth echoed in the corridor, bouncing until it reached the two ears.

"Is that what happened, Leon!?".

Lin Fan, whose face was fuming and the body was cloaked with an internal Aura, looked at Leon like a predator. Leon flinched as he nodded his head several times before telling him the rest of the story.

"Curse that man!".

"What should we do?".

While Lin Fan and Soma delved into their own worlds, Leon, who felt burdened, tried to soften the mood by acting casual while maintaining her almost broken expression.

Soma dives into his own memories, trying to tie the knot about what happens in the novel and what he learns about the common knowledge in this world.

First, the concept of the demon, a being that suddenly arrived at the planet in ancient times, began to ransack everything in their path as they were created from a natural enemy of life or creation itself, that is, destruction.

The power of demons comes from a source called demonic energy. It was the same as Mana in Human but had fundamentally different roles. Mana was present to alter and create miracles, while Demonic energy birthed a power of the concept like decay, corrosives, unholy, strong curses and many more.

However, not all of the current demon races have the ability to recreate Demonic power as abundant as the old ones or like the demon lord's seven subordinates, who receive the blessing from their god themselves.

Because of the involvement of Damian, who wants to recreate many soldiers to prepare for the next war at the end of the story, he dilutes the devil's blood he found all around the world, reducing the failed probability while in exchange will having the human who consumed it turned into a mindless demon.

As long as his goal was achieved—turning the world into chaos so that negative energy would accumulate and corrode the seal of their master—that's all that matters to Damian.

"...It's no use; there is no single clue as to how to solve the current problem." Soma gritted his teeth. Without him knowing, he was submerging too deep into his own consciousness and found himself being watched by a pair of crimson eyes within the empty darkness that surrounded his mind.

{...Fool, use the orbs!}

From the empty darkness that smiled with an eerie laugh, a single star shone brighter than anything descending in front of him and floated right before his chest. It was a small orb as big as marble, and surrounding it were tiny particles forming a hallo, which soothed Soma's heart with its nostalgic feeling.

"This is!?".
