An Extra’s POV

"Level 19, huh…?"

Rey had Leveled Up four times in the course of this brief event, and while it didn't seem like much, he still found himself smiling at the fact.

"I've gotten stronger."

His goal for the day had been achieved, and that was enough to satisfy him.

'If I can clear one Floor per day, and focus the rest of my time on other things, I'd say that's decent progress…'

Rey would have normally preferred doing two—if not three—Dungeons in a day, but that came at its own risk.

For one, the terrain of Dungeons made exploring a single floor very hectic. Doing so could range from an hour or two to almost four.

And all of this was without accounting for the fact that he would need to stop to fight Monsters and harvest Cores—though he had found a way to circumvent the last problem.

Of course, Rey could easily find a way to speed up his journey though [Flight] and other Skills in the Buff Category, but that came with its own caveat.

'Going fast increases the risk of falling into traps or being careless.'

When moving fast, there were a lot of things one tended to overlook.

If this was any other place, then Rey could have easily shrugged off this underlying risk, but Dungeon Floors were very dangerous and unpredictable places.

He could also encounter Monsters that gave hard counters to his existing Skill-Set.

'I also can't afford to burn through too much of my MP…'

In a place where Rey wasn't certain what would come next, his Skills were his only lifeline.

Which meant MP was his precious fuel.

'I have tons of Buffs and my base MP is rapidly increasing, but it's still not quite there yet…'
