An Extra’s POV

'Hehe! Finally, I'm back!'

Rey had a wide grin on his face as he began to walk down the wide passageway of the seventh floor.

He had been looking forward to this moment for a while now, and there were a lot of things he couldn't start doing.

'I made sure to properly understand every single detail about Hobs that I read. While the research on them was incomplete, he practically knew all there was to know at this point.'

As per the plan, he would ensure their civilization flourished by teaching them a bunch of things and ensuring that they evolved a lot in the process.

'I should also experiment with the effects of various Monster Cores on them.'

Rey was genuinely curious about what would happen, and he was itching to find out.

"SKRRIAAAK."

"GURRIAKKA."

"HUKAKAYA."

The sounds of Hobgoblins danced in his ears as he entered the clearing.

Once again, he was greeted with a putrid odor. It wasn't as bad as the previous time, but it still smelled disgusting.

"Well… I'm back." Rey muttered as he watched the Hobs recognize his presence.

The instant they saw him, all of them—women and children—rushed to his presence.

They all kneeled and bowed their heads in subservience, speaking words in Goblin language that properly passed across a message of submission.

'Guess we're back to this…'

Rey didn't particularly dislike it, but he also wasn't the biggest enjoyer of being worshiped.

As long as they did what he wanted, he didn't mind either way.

"Well, let's begin, shall we?"
