An Extra’s POV

A Skill was essentially something one earned, or it came as a privilege from the world.

In both cases, they represented a special ability that a person possessed. Usually, Skills were meant to evolve, not disappear from a person. Since Skills were an intrinsic part of a person—especially those earned—they were a permanent addition to the individual.

Skills, in a sense, could not be created nor destroyed.

… But Rey was an exception.

By using [Merger], he essentially bent the rules a little. He broke down Skills and used them to mold new ones, or more advanced versions of one.

This, in a way, was still following the rules… but teetering on the edge.

However, the complete breaker was [Sacrifice], which caused the permanent loss of Skills, changing them to Stat Points.

In this case, the nature of the Skill was changed into another kind of power—Stats.

It was possible that Skill essence could be lost in the process, but ultimately, Skills would be converted to something else—never fully destroyed in a sense.

Still, according to the rules of the world… Rey could no longer use any of the Skills he had fed to sacrifice. He also couldn't use the Skills that were combined using [Divine Merger] to make his current Skill-set.

"Tch. This sucks…"

Once again, Rey found himself listening to Ater's lectures as they discussed the current problem.

All of this started when Rey asked Ater about what happened to his Inventory, going further to explain the whole [Divine Merger] and [Sacrifice] bit.

The short version of Ater's answer was:

"Your inventory and everything inside it is gone forever."

In essence… all of Rey's money, resources, and everything that he had kept within that space were completely lost to him.

It was beyond devastating to hear.
