An Extra’s POV

Rey's breathing felt heavy.

He had thought, for sure, that his theory would be correct—or at least show some bearing in reality.

'None of these faces and names resemble her at all. If she wanted me to find her, she would have left something behind. Anything…!'

Initially, Rey was chill about it. When he checked for the first time and didn't find her, he was sure he just missed something.

But, after twelve times now, going over the documents of every single Adventurer that had registered from the day of his coma till present, he found nothing.

'In checked all the details—even the information of all the Quests they've taken. Yet… nothing!'

Rey felt stuck.

More frustrating than his growing anxiety was the fact that he had to suppress it every time so he was forcibly calm about everything.

The cycle continued for far too long that it began to grow infuriating.

Unfortunately, when he stopped actively controlling that portion of his emotion, the System did it for him—forcefully granting him full clarity

"Okay, so what if she didn't register as an Adventurer? She could still be in the city, right? There are people who challenge the Dungeons without being Adventurers, right?"

"Yeah, but that's illegal." Noah said while shaking his head. "Esme doesn't strike me as someone who would go down that route.

Not only would that be morally wrong—something a 'Good' person like her wouldn't resort to unnecessarily—but it only made it harder to find her.

"If she wanted you to find her here, wouldn't she have registered?"

If there was no record of her, it most likely meant she didn't choose to stay in the Adventurers City.

"Does that mean… the second option is what she—?"

"I already told you that it's a dumb proposition. I'm sure there are other ways to explain her disappearance." Noah folded his arms and raised a brow, staring at Rey with curious eyes.
