An Extra’s POV

Chapter 704

[Moments Later]

"I… really don't feel any different."

Justin and Ater stood face to face in the vast hall that was the Grand Calamity Class Dungeon. Indeed, just as he said, the former didn't look any different from how he always was.

He still had his handsome face, dirty brown hair, and overall tall and lean build.

"Adrien will try to make contact with you soon, so you're going to forget a lot of what happened here until the due time." Completely ignoring all of Justin's concerns about his body, Ater simply went straight to business.

"You will be loyal to Adrien for the time being, until I am ready to use you for certain plans I have…"

"H-how can you do all of these things…?" Justin wondered aloud, staring at Ater with sheer stupefaction.

Upon hearing those words, Justin's face sank deeper. It almost felt like he was stomped on, but with words.

"Don't be so downcast. You should be grateful for your lot and be content with it. That is what Nature has determined for you. Seeking any more would be venturing deeply into greed?"
