An Extra’s POV

"I guess I'm still getting the hang of learning my Skills and stuff…"

As Rey mumbled those words to himself, he set his eyes on the few things that had dropped from the Boss Monster.

The crimson core was much larger than the ones Rey had collected thus far, and that wasn't the only the thing he saw.

There were a few gleaming things on the ground, and he approached them slowly.

'It's not just the Monster Core this time, huh? I guess that's what you'd expect from a higher-quality monster.'

Sharpened claws littered the floor, like a trophy left behind after the Kobold Boss' demise.

'Since this is like a game, I guess these can be referred to as Drops.'

Rey added them to his inventory and sighed in relief when he was done with everything.

'Looks like all went well…' He smiled.

He was now all alone in the Sixth Floor, and from the looks of it, only a few hours had passed since he began this entire escapade.

'Now that I think about it, that Boss Monster displayed a Skill at the end of our fight. I should have used Doppel on it.'

However, almost as soon as he had this thought, Rey realized he wasn't really missing out on anything.

'It was most likely an inferior Skill compared to the ones I have.'

When he remembered how the monster acted berserk after activating the Skill, Rey was even more convinced that it was not what he wanted.

'I think I should be fine with what I have for now.' Rey thought to himself.

'Right now, I should do my best to master the Skills at my disposal.'

If he did well in it, he could even go to the Seventh Floor or further below to test his abilities.

'Yeah. That works. I should focus on that for now.'

Rey could feel his heart race and his body tremble in anticipation.

He hadn't ever been this excited about anything else in his life. The idea of having so many Skills, and finally being able to explore them all by himself…

… They gave him so much satisfaction.

'I should probably start tomorrow, though. Right now, I need to head back.'

It took almost an hour—even with his uninterrupted flight—to travel from the Royal Estate—to the Sixth Floor.

If he used the same metric on his journey back, he would have to leave at least two hours for his travels back and forth.

'Feels like a waste, but there's no other choice. It's a shame that I don't have a long-range teleportation Skill.'
