An Extra’s POV

'The numbers are absurd by H'Trae standards, but…'

Rey couldn't help but feel incredibly underwhelmed when staring at Lucielle's Status Window. Not only were the numbers much lower than what he had been used to over time—a side-effect of being surrounded by powerful Elves, facing Dragons, and obsessing over his own strength—but even the scarcity of Skills troubled him.

'Humans have a limit of five Skills. Right now, she has two A-Tier, two B-Tier, and one C-Tier Skills. I know they're absurd by human standards here, but I honestly feel like they should be a lot more.' He almost sighed.
