An Extra’s POV

Emerging from the darkness was a man in a black hooded cloak, shrouded in a mostly blackened attire.

He had a dark mask on, and he appeared just like the famed Dark Adventurer.

No… he really was him!

The one who stood before Rey was none other than Ralyks.

Then, he knelt before the seated boy.

"Master…"

As those words echoed in the room, Rey shrugged slightly as a small smile formed on his face.

"You should transform back to your normal form." He said.

"You mean as a ca—?"

"No! You know fully well what I mean." Rey swiftly interjected.

This completely broke his cool vibes.

"Understood, master."

Instantly, a swirling surge of energy circled around the Ralyks that knelt before Rey, and in no time at all, it had become a handsome young man with red hair and ebony skin.

His crimson eyes shone brightly in the room, and his lips curled up to form a devilish grin.

"That's more like it." Rey nodded, staring at his Familiar—Ater.

"You may rise."

Ater rose to his feet, his tall figure looming over Rey who sat comfortably on his bed.

"You can sit down if you like. We have quite a bit to discuss, after all."

Upon hearing that, Ater began to float in midair and crossed both legs together as he sat on nothing but empty space.

Rey noticed this, and a spark of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"How are you able to do that? Float, I mean."
