An Extra’s POV

Heavy breaths.

Flickering eyes.

Racing hearts.

The nine Otherworlders stood tall, prepared to descend down the Floors as they stared at the entrance to the second one.

"Ready?"

They all gulped and nodded, prepared to begin their mission.

Of course, some showed a lot more courage than others, but they all advanced forward.

Rey Skylar was among the ones who showed less courage than his compatriots. Still, the fact that he kept moving forward showed his dedication to the cause.

His eyes shone with determination.

"Let's stick together, Rey." Alicia whispered to him, a small smile on her face.

It was clear she was nervous as well, but after noticing Rey's anxiety, she wanted to cheer him up.

"No way! You'll take all my prey and I won't be able to Level Up." Rey responded.

He then looked beside her and spotted Snow—her Familiar.

"You have to Level Up Snow as well. I'll be fine, don't worry." Rey murmured while nodding slowly.

Alicia gave a knowing smile, and they both exchanged nods.

In the end, this was still some sort of competition.

Leveling Up wasn't going to be fair to all, and if certain individuals were lazy or pampered, they wouldn't be able to grow as strong as their comrades.

"Huu… I got this!"

With Rey's words appearing to settle him down, he finally joined his comrades in descending down to the Second Floor.

"Take your formations!"

The moment they descended to the abode of Monsters, they were greeted by a group of anthropomorphic creatures.

These entities had fur like gorillas, but their appearances—at least, their upper bodies—resembled wolves.

They had sharp claws and powerful jaws, with saliva dripping out of the latter the moment they laid eyes on their targets.
