An Extra’s POV

"Are you really sure?"

Seraph's words carried a note of caution, a vibe that made Rey pause.

Her face mirrored her concern, telling him she didn't want him to acquire this Skill. But since when did he care about her wishes?

"Absolutely!" Rey's certainty surged within him.

This Skill... this chance... it held the power to transform his life entirely.

'I'm just average at everything. But with this... this power... I don't have to settle for that!' Thoughts raced in Rey's mind.

Whether he ended up with a decent Class was no longer his primary concern; all that mattered was this Skill.

"Okay, then. Now that you've bought the SSS-Tier Skill, [Doppel], you won't have any Karma left to obtain a Class." Seraph's confirmation echoed what Rey already knew. He was about to become Classless.

'Maybe there's a hidden advantage to that,' Rey mused silently.

"I can still hear your thoughts, you know?" Seraph interjected, catching Rey off guard.

The moment Seraph's words interrupted his thoughts, he felt a slight shiver within him.

Her presence was impossible to ignore.

"There's no hidden advantage, and there's no such thing as being Classless." She added with a sigh.

"E-eh?" Rey stammered.

"You'll be granted the Default Class [Commoner]. The same Class the average denizen of H'Trae has."

"Oh..."

Rey's heart sank at the mere sound of the Class. If everyone had it, it couldn't promise anything pleasant.

"Are there any benefits?" Rey's curiosity drove him to ask.

"None. You're just a commoner," Seraph replied matter-of-factly.

"Ah..."

Disappointment tinged Rey's voice. What did he expect? Being average never came with perks.
