The Extra's Weight.

The Extra's Weight.

A handsome, young college student reads a webnovel his friends recommended him to read. After completing it, he goes to sleep. But when he wakes up... he finds himself in a bit of a pickle. And by that, I mean, a reality-bending, butt-clenching, heart-wrenching problem. Follow the story of Samuel Francis, an extra character that the original novel never mentioned as he steals opportunities from future villains to strengthen himself and ensure survival. But, will he ever be able to return back to Earth, to his family and friends? A few points to note before you read: 1) The main character(the reader who gets transmigrated) is a GRAVITY MAGE. Meaning, he can manipulate gravity and attack opponents with it. (That's why the name, The Extra's Weight) 2) He can also use one other type of magic, called 'Energy Magic', which is basically null-magic, or non-elemental magic. 3) This novel DOESN'T have a sentient system. Actually, the system very rarely even makes an appearance. 4) NO HAREM. 5) Actual, slow-burn romance. 6) Main Character isn't some emo villain who uses people and avoids social contact. 7) If you don't like things like entire chapters dedicated to grinding materials or rare artefacts and talismans, you won't enjoy this novel. But if you do, you'll love it. 8) There's a lot of info dump in the first few chapters. And there will be more later on. This novel is inspired by 'Novel's Extra' and 'Author's POV'. But keep in mind, the story of this novel is nothing like the two of them.

Ren Liuxian had it all in his previous life: a brilliant mind, a high-paying job as a top-tier programmer, and the constant grind of endless work. But as success came, so did the chains of exhaustion. He worked himself to death, quite literally, never experiencing a moment of peace or joy. Reincarnated into a world of powerful cultivators, Ren is given a second chance at life—but this time, he has one rule: no more effort. As an outer disciple in a vast cultivation sect, so low in rank that no one even knows he exists, Ren is perfectly content to stay under the radar. But fate has other plans. When a mysterious system spirit approaches him, offering boundless power in exchange for effort, Ren refuses. The system, determined to serve its master, upgrades itself again and again, until it evolves into the Invincible Domination System—a system that rewards Ren for doing absolutely nothing.

The world is shaken as heavenly thunder cracks the skies, and his sect believes their forgotten disciple is the reincarnation of an ancient founder. Now, revered as a mysterious, all-powerful figure, Ren must navigate a world of power struggles, divine beasts, and dangerous enemies—all while doing his best to stay as lazy as possible. In a world where everyone strives for power, Ren dominates the heavens… without lifting a finger.

There was this one time when a newbie at the weightlifting area was trying to figure out how to use the leg press machine.
