Reborn as an Extra Chapter 663: Bela Anant! Part-4.
Previously on Reborn as an Extra...
Bela came into the world in 2020, and when she first revealed her powers, it was already 2029—a full decade later—with countless other awakeners beginning to emerge in her aftermath.
Chaos gripped the world, leaving humanity in utter disarray from the sudden influx of myriad races intent on dividing the planet with them.
In an era where every awakener was prized by all organizations, Bela shone like a beacon amid a pitch-black, starless night.
No other awakeners from that period possessed the power to heal fellow beings.
Furthermore, Bela’s gift went beyond basic feeble healing spells; she shared an exceptional bond with both healing and the essence of nature!
Her healing magic held such immense potency that it appeared capable of resurrecting the deceased while simultaneously turning back their years!
Back then, humans struggled fiercely to defend their lands, often falling to the alien races that had invaded their once-exclusive planet!
The wilted flower event catapulted Bela to fame within her city, and as throngs of injured and ill flocked to her for aid, her renown exploded across the nation in mere months!
Battle-scarred troops, hurt awakeners, and the initial S-rankers of that time all craved access to her unbelievably potent healing prowess!
During days when survival hung by a thread—even for mighty awakeners amid colossal clashes—Bela’s power offered what felt like a fresh shot at existence!
Beyond mending injuries, she eradicated hopeless ailments such as cancer and genetic mutation disorders!
She embodied a living ’miracle’ as a young human girl!
A mere brush from her hand infused vitality into those teetering on death’s edge, and the surging life force of her magic could even prolong lifespans to some degree!
Once her powers spread across the globe, humans and every other race went berserk, sparking a frantic scramble to seize and dominate her!
Merely months after the flower episode, Bela had marked her 10th birthday, yet her celebrity had surged so rapidly that her parents fretted without end.
Tranquil, carefree times had vanished; daily, endless queues snaked outside their doorstep!
Most sought treatment for wounds or illnesses, but recruiters from major groups also came bearing bribes to enlist Bela and sway her folks.
Awakeners lurked around their home nonstop, and occasionally, intruders vaulted fences to slip indoors.
Within months, over a dozen schemes unfolded to abduct Bela by any means.
By then, even routine outings for groceries or jobs proved utterly impossible for her parents.
Sending Bela to school became unthinkable amid kidnapping fears.
Groups promising aid and safeguards all coveted her abilities for themselves, but her savvy parents saw through their hidden agendas.
To them, Bela was their cherished daughter, deeply adored, not some instrument for others!
They yearned for her joyful existence; never did they envision her as a tool of conflict!
After endless abduction tries pushed them to the brink, Bela’s parents hit their breaking point and chose a daring move to rescue her from this nightmarish ordeal!
Pooling every penny and aided by a friendly female awakener, they fled with Bela aboard a modest vessel!
Before dangers could worsen into mortal peril for Bela, they abandoned their homeland for a remote haven where anonymity reigned!
Peace for Bela demanded severing the world’s greedy grasp and whisking her distant from those harboring wicked designs!
Yet their efforts proved futile.
From the instant Bela unveiled her powers by reviving that faded flower, her fate had shifted irrevocably.
Ordinary farm girl life lay forever behind her; greatness awaited, and no flight could evade destiny’s pursuit!
Only a day shy of docking at their goal, a colossal unforeseen tempest ensnared the ship!
"Papa... I can feel many powerful life forces approaching from that direction..."
Nestled in her father’s embrace, Bela extended her tiny finger toward the Maiqeulla continent.
Bela’s father understood his daughter’s talents perfectly, trusting her words rang true.
Detecting mighty presences closing in from there signaled pursuers hot on their trail!
"Don’t worry my little princess; papa will take care of everything..."
Though Bela’s father brushed it aside, the dread in his gaze exposed the truth.
He approached a chest and tucked Bela within.
Crafted by their mage awakener ally, the chest bore enchantment for hiding presences.
"Hide for now..."
With a smile and gentle pat on her head from her father, Bela’s mother stroked her daughter’s adorable cheek while saying,
"No matter what happens, don’t come out of this chest... and always remember, no matter what happens, Mom will always love you... after all, you are my little princess..."
