An Extra’s POV
Chapter 2
Rey Skylar.
A regular 16-year-old boy of average height, average build, and an overall look that blended into the crowd.
He wasn't a stranger to his classmates, but he wasn't exactly the life of the party either. Grades? Nothing exceptional. Friends? A few acquaintances, but nobody close enough to call a true friend.
In school, Rey embodied the essence of average. Even his... well, let's say his 'gear' down there? Yup, average too. And truth be told, he had pretty much gotten used to that status quo after living his whole life that way.
However, now that he was standing beside the two giants of his class, he was beginning to feel a little inferior—perhaps even less than average.
'This whole thing is a fluke. I didn't even raise my voice when I asked that question. How did I end up here?'
It felt surreal to be one of the first chosen to pick their Skills and Classes.
Having played quite a few games himself, Rey knew how crucial these choices were in shaping a character's journey.
'Well, it's not like I was able to be more than average in gaming even with that knowledge,' Rey thought, knowing that Skills and Classes in games always aimed for a balance, ensuring fairness for all players.
But this wasn't a game; this was real life, where unfairness was as common as breathing. Rey was a living testament to that fact.
'If I can snag a solid Class and a few decent Skills…' His thoughts drifted into a hopeful realm, a flicker of possibility shining through.
Perhaps, just maybe, he could break free from the chains of his average existence.
Suddenly, Seraph's captivating voice pierced through his thoughts, pulling him back to the incredible reality playing out before him.
Amongst the boundless clouds, there they stood - Rey and his classmates - face to face with the stunning Angel, Seraph.
Her pure white countenance was accentuated by intricate golden patterns on her attire, and her wings added a divine allure to her presence.
Her gleaming golden eyes held an otherworldly beauty, resembling the most precious of gems.
Rey, like the rest of his classmates, found himself utterly captivated by just a single glance at Seraph.
His thoughts raced as Adonis stepped forward, prompting Rey to focus keenly on the unfolding selection process.
He hoped to gain some advantage by closely observing Adonis's choices for his Class and Skills. After all, Adonis was the class's golden boy - popular, good-looking, athletic, and genuinely kind. He effortlessly connected with everyone, including Rey, in the few conversations they'd shared.
'Will I really get a peek at what Adonis picks?' Rey mused internally, a glimmer of hope flickering within him.
But his hopes were dashed when, at the very moment Adonis reached for Seraph's hand, a blinding light enveloped them both.
In that shower of light, Rey couldn't make out a thing, realizing that the same shroud of light must have obscured the view of the rest of his classmates.
"Damn! Guess it won't be that easy," Rey muttered in disappointment, understanding that the path ahead wouldn't be as straightforward as he'd hoped.
Despite being a little disappointed, Rey was also quite relieved. This way, even his choice would not be revealed to everyone else.
It would have been awkward if that was the case.
~FWUUUUUSSSSSHHHH!~
Just a few seconds after the blinding light shrouded the two of them, it dissipated.
"Congratulations on choosing your Class and Skills, Adonis. You may move to my far right since you've now chosen."
'In just a few seconds? Maybe time moves faster within the dome of light.' Rey had many questions, but he decided to observe whether it would be the same for Alicia.
Adonis gracefully moved to Seraph's far right as instructed, and Alicia walked closer to Seraph for her turn.
'She's as pretty as always,' Rey mused to himself, a soft smile forming.
Alicia White was a name known to every guy in their class, if not the entire school. Regarded as the pinnacle of beauty, her long, lustrous brown hair and a face that seemed carved by the gods captivated anyone who glanced her way.
But now, standing in the presence of Seraph, perceptions might shift.
Alicia remained stunning, yet against Seraph's ethereal presence, her beauty seemed to pale in comparison. Despite this, she held her own charm.
'She earned the spot of our Class Representative through popular vote,' Rey recalled. 'And she's been incredible in fulfilling her duties.'
Rey held a genuine fondness for Alicia, liking her as a person. Her inquisitive nature and persistence while questioning Seraph had earned Rey's admiration.
He wasn't obsessively crushing on her or anything, but he definitely thought very highly of her.
