An Extra’s POV

"Huu… that's the last of them, right?"

Rey was currently in his base—the 99th Floor of the Royal Dungeon, and in front of him were Ater and the Undead who just finished displaying a wide array of Skills to him.

After leaving the Blanc Mansion, they came here for Rey to add more abilities to his arsenal.

Needless to say, it was a success.

"Yes, Master. You have gotten all the relevant Skills that the enemy possessed."

Ater spoke like all of this was just a matter of course, but Rey hadn't gotten over how the guy figured out all the qualities of his Skills.

He didn't even realize it when he used [Absolute Appraisal] on Ater and found out his Level had increased.

"Congratulations, you're in Level 3 now." Rey smiled at the Familiar.

Ater got 100 Stat Points for each Level he gained—a far more impressive feat than Snow's 30 Points.

'I suppose it only goes to show the difference between S-Tier and A-Tier.' He mused.

"This much is nothing, Master. It does not compare to you in the slightest.'

Rey felt like bursting into tears the moment he heard those words.

Adding his bonus Stat addition and base Stat addition upon every Level Up, he only got 6 Stat Points for each Level Up.

If not for his gear carrying him for most of the time, he would be pretty weak in base form.

'Compared to me, he has an incredible Stat increase every level, and his bonus Stat Points are essentially half of his normal Stats…'

If that wasn't broken, then what was?

Rey found himself more grateful for deciding to take the risk and summon an S-Tier Familiar.

'But damn… I really wish [Bonding] could allow me to keep even more Familiars.'

As soon as Rey had this thought, he realized something.

'I could merge Skills together with Bonding to evolve it to the level where I can get that result!'

His eyes gleamed with delight as he began to imagine the possibility of having multiple Aters around.

"Master? You have a creepy smile." Ater's voice echoed in the vast room, but Rey hardly paid any mind to it.

Steam proceeded from his gaping mouth as saliva dripped from it.

He could feel it—the fullness of GREED within him.

"Ater…" Rey took a few steps forward until he reached the very front of his Familiar.

"Yes… Master?"

He placed his hands on Ater's shoulders, a sense of foreboding swirling around the room.

As the tension reached an epic crescendo, a brilliant smile burst from Rey's face as he gushed out to Ater with indescribable delight.

"How would you like a younger brother?!"

*********

"Haa…"

After hours of deliberating and merging, Rey was finally done with the process.

What now appeared before his eyes was the finished product of so much hard work—the culmination of everything he had been through thus far.
