An Extra’s POV

'What the fuck?!'

Rey felt his heart thumping as he heard the muffled conversation between Lucielle and Brutus.

He didn't want to believe what they were saying.m, but Rey knew how foolish and irrational that would be.

'They're talking amongst themselves, so they're most likely telling the truth.'

Rey felt like he had to check for himself, but he felt a wave of hesitation hit him.

'There's a lot going on here that I don't understand. I… I don't know anymore…'

As he stared at the Royal Dungeon entrance, he felt a sigh escape his beaks.

'What the hell? All that effort… for nothing?'

He felt shitty, to say the least.

'It could be an intelligent monster that did this, but why do I find this hard to believe…?'

To Rey, this felt like the work of a person.

And there was no one else that crossed his kind but the mastermind that set him up a few days ago.

'Who else would be behind this? They clearly know of my escapades, so it wouldn't be surprising that they know of the Royal Dungeon…'

But if that was the case, it meant the malefactor knew Rey's full capabilities—or there was a high chance that they did.

That possibility was unsettling.

'They know who I am and what I can do, but I don't know who they are…'

It was frightening!

Rey had never felt this powerless since he arrived in this world, and it didn't matter the Skills he had at his disposal at this point.

He was still very vulnerable.
