An Extra’s POV

'Right now, we need competent and trustworthy Adventurers who can be guaranteed to complete this mission.'

Conrad's eyes met Ralyks' crimson irises as he had this thought.

'He seems like a good fit to add to that equation.'

If they had him on their side—a powerful man who could be moved by sincerity—then there was hope to get even more Adventurers on board.

'Billy and Alicia won't recover on time, but if they do… then maybe we could enlist their help too.'

Conrad considered his last lines of thought and wondered if it was indeed the smartest choice.

What if the mission failed again?

Was it not better to conserve the Otherworlders they had left, rather than send them to their obvious doom?

Thinking logically about the current situation, wasn't it an impossible task they were about to give the Adventurers?

'If Lucielle, Brutus, Hero Adonis, and the other Otherworlders from Alpha Class could not make it… can we really say any other group has a chance?'

The answer was an obvious "NO!"

Despite this, Conrad didn't know why he was still clinging to a hope that maybe he was wrong.

Maybe there was a sliver of a chance that the problem would be solved.

After all, if it wasn't… then the end of humanity was certain!

"Tell me more about this job." Ralyks' voice woke Conrad from his troubling thoughts.

His eyes darted around, registering the pure white atmosphere, before eventually settling his gaze on the man of darkness.

"Well, the thing is—"

"Tell me everything." Conrad felt some kind of chill in his body the moment he heard that.

He knew he wasn't obligated to tell this Adventurer the details of National Affairs. He couldn't divulge some secrets to him.

However, Conrad didn't know when he began to open his lips and explain their desperate predicament.

… And how badly they needed someone to help.
