An Extra's POV

Chapter 547 Open Eyes

Chapter 547 Open Eyes

"U-urh…"

Rey's eyes slowly flicked open as he grunted in a slight whisper.

His body felt a little stiff; almost as if he hadn't moved it in weeks. His vision felt a little blurry at first, but it soon acclimated to the light, and he opened them wide.

As he parted his lips, he soon became capable of sensing his surroundings.

'I am… where is this?' He expressed slight surprise as he sat up on the magnificent bed that he was currently on.

'It's so soft… and it smells so sweet.'

Rey could see that an invisible barrier surrounded the bed—almost like a veil that covered the entire perimeter. He sensed particles of energy dancing in the air as well, and they had rejuvenating properties.

'Whoever put me here must have done so with good intentions, then…' His thoughts slightly trailed as he shifted to the side of his bed and planted his two feet on the tiled ground.

It felt… warm.

Rey looked above him, finding the entire room to be one of immaculate beauty. It was pure white, with golden designs etched all over the walls and ceilings.

The beauty looked royal. Everything—from the extravagant chandelier, to the paintings on the walls, and even the carpets and well-designed tiles, accompanied by the sparse furniture in the room—oozed pristine.

He felt a little overwhelmed, just taking everything in.

"Huu…" After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he lowered his head and focused on his body.

Rey was tempted to stand, but he decided to postpone it until he could properly recollect his thoughts and understand his situation.

'What am I doing here exactly…?'

He reached into his memories to find out everything that he could—about himself, and his current situation.

'My name is Rey Skylar. Average nobody on Earth who got transmigrated here with my classmates and was blessed with great power.'

He remembered his ascent to power; the journeys he led, the secret identities he created, the people he fought—and killed—and the allies he made on the way.

He also remembered the loss he suffered.

'I nearly died back then, but… yes, that's how… and, ah, I lost consciousness… right as Ater arrived.'

Rey placed his hand on his chin as he soon became up to speed with everything that had happened to him.

Well, the only things that he was conscious of. He still wasn't certain about a lot of things, but there was only one place to start from.

"Status Window." He muttered, almost instinctively.

[End Of Information]

As Rey took all of this in, he leaked out a small smile and nodded.

'Looks like everything is intact. I didn't just dream them up or imagine what happened…'

The feeling of dying twice, and nearly dying again was etched into his body—stuck in the deep recesses of his mind.

The fear from back then still plagued him. While he had a calm facade, accompanied by a steady heartbeat and a fully stable body, he could feel the sensation lurking within his heart.

The ever-present feeling of danger and unease.

The Divine Beast had scarred him greatly, and while there were still a lot of thoughts to unpack, Rey thought it was best to unpack things one by one.

'Starting from this right here…' He looked at the Additional Information in his Status Window and narrowed his eyes.

'So I have the interest of this World, huh? What is it? Some sort of sentient being…'

Rey closed his eyes and sighed.

Based on all he had experienced, he already knew there had to be other worlds that existed out there. Beasts like Dagon and Ater came from a world different from H'Trae, and he came from Earth.

He didn't know exactly how many worlds were out there, so he decided not to think too much about it.

'Is it possible that this power I have… everything that makes me special… is only exclusive to this world?'

When Rey thought about Dagon, or Ater, he couldn't help but imagine the kinds of creatures that could exist out of the reach of his current plane of existence.

The same way accomplished Martial Artists on Earth would feel completely powerless when confronted with the Warriors from H'Trae… it was possible that the powers within H'Trae would pale in comparison to another world.

What would that mean for a Singularity? For the strongest of the humans, or even the strongest of H'Trae.

'Could it be like a multiverse? Maybe… maybe not.'

Suddenly, even the pursuit of strength—something as simple as that—became a complicated burden on Rey's mind.

When he first came here, he had the sole desire to be very powerful. Never to get complacent and reach the pinnacle of strength so he wouldn't be threatened: that was his goal!

But now…

'I-I don't know anymore.'

Even though he was barely able to beat Dagon, what if there was something stronger? What of the Dragons? Where exactly did he fall under in the grand spectrum of power?

'I don't know anymore…' A small sigh escaped his lips as he gazed emptily into space.

The silence that filled his room continued only for a moment before Rey decided that he had gotten enough of moping around.

Parting his lips, he called out for his Familiar.

"Ater…"

~VWUSH!~

In an instant, a dark silhouette appeared in front of Rey, opposite the corner of the bed where he chose to sit in.

Within the darkness emerged a handsome young man in an all-black suit. With red hair swaying, revealing his crimson eyes, the man bowed slowly—showing his full courtesy and allegiance to Rey.

"Welcome back, Master."

Thanks for reading!

And so it begins. I have quite the plans for these two (individually) in this Arc. Who knows what could happen… hehehe…
