An Extra's POV

Chapter 176 Aftermath [Pt 3]

"H-hold on… WHAT DID I JUST DOOOOO?!"

It took an entire day, and a couple more hours, but Rey finally woke up.

His entire body felt lighter than ever, and his mind was clear.

It was while he was enjoying this newfound sensation that he realized his last conversation with Conrad, including the blunder he made.

"FOR FREEEEEEE?! WAS I INSANE?!"

His loud voice echoed in the vast 99th Floor, which appeared as devoid of life as one could imagine.

Rey reckoned there had to have been creatures here before the Dragon showed up, but they were nowhere to be found.

No surprise there.

He was also able to notice the stink being generated by the leftover corpses of humans that Jer'ard killed, so he used Fire Magic to burn them all to cinders.

Rey was still fuming mad, but it didn't take him very long to figure out its futility.

'They'll probably invest the important bits to Adonis and the Alpha Class people—the ones who will choose to remain, that is.'

It was very unlikely that he would get a decent cut out of everything.

He was considered pretty weak and useless, after all.

'Well, let's take our minds off of that. I probably wouldn't have made much money from them, even if I sold it anyway.'

The Black Market had to be the most profitable enterprise when it came to business.

He could probably sell for double—if not triple—of what the Royal Council would be willing to pay.

'I would have eventually sold it to the Royal Council, though.'

A treasure as important as that belonged in the hands of those who would use it to help humanity, not just their selfish interests.

'I'm all for being selfish, but there are limits.'

Right now, he could do nothing but consider the whole thing as an investment to a good cause.

Looking around him, Rey could also see tons of Mana Crystals, and even piles of the Monster Cores that the Hobgoblins had stacked up.

However, Rey knew he couldn't touch those anymore.

'Adonis and pretty much everyone already noticed it. I could probably take a couple of them without anyone noticing , but…'

At this point, Rey just felt like it wasn't worth it.

He glanced around and once again admired the beauty of the 99th Floor.

'Hmm…?'

Something kept bugging him.

It felt like he was forgetting something very important, and he struggled very hard to think.

Then… it finally came to him.

"My Status Window!"

The instant he shouted this out loud, a System Panel appeared right in front of him.

"Wow. This is quite a lot…"

Rey could see that his Level had shot up to Level 99, which was pretty amazing—all things considered.

He didn't know what Level the strongest in the Alliance were, but he now knew that he had to find out.

'I need to properly compare my Stats with theirs—especially with Adonis.'

Rey felt like if he used his full power, he was stronger than Adonis, but he wasn't very sure about his Base Form.

'I guess we just have to wait and see…'

His Level wasn't the only thing that caught his eye, though.

"My Class has changed to A-Tier. Anomaly, huh? Interesting…"

He noticed his Bonus Stats had taken a spike up, and Rey found that interesting.

'I keep track of my growth, so even if I'm Level 90, my Bonus Stats shouldn't be that high. Unless…!'

Rey's smile widened as soon as he figured it out.

His new Class came with more special perks.

'Nice! I'll check that later, but for now…'

Rey had to focus on another thing that caught his attention.

The two Non-Exclusive Skills he now had.

He didn't ignore the fact that his Alignment had changed from Neutral to Neutral Good, but he didn't find that relevant at the moment.

What mattered most was his power-set, and the two new Skills were a part of that.

"Skill information." He mumbled.

[Skill Details]

[Fusion/Fission]

Tier: S

Ability: Allows the user to perfectly blend Skills with each other, creating a synergy that covers for weaknesses and complements the strength of selected Skills.

In essence, the ability to fully utilize multiple Skills as one or more, with more efficiency and intensity.

Type: Passive

[.]

[Merger]

Tier: S

Ability: Allows the user to merge two or more Skills, permanently fusing them together to create one new Skill.

Note that the new Skill will take on more qualities from the superior Skill out of the ones being merged.

Type: Active

[End Of Information]

Rey rubbed his chin as he looked at the information before him.

'I see. I probably awakened the first Skill when fighting Jer'ard. That's why I was able to do the Black Hole thing so well.'

However, this second Skill was news to him.

The [Fusion/Fission] Skill was going to be very useful to him for sure, but Rey couldn't see a more useful ability than the [Merger] one.

'I'm limited by the amount of Skills I can have, but with this one… I don't have to simply delete or waste away Skills I collect.'

He could just merge them with another Skill to produce a much stronger ability.

'It's perfect!'
