Infinite Realm

Chapter 304 - 298 : Rewards

"Now, time to have a look at my rewards."

However, as he glanced at his system interface, Sato didn't see any notification informing him of having completed the trials. He didn't even see informing him that the challenge was over. 

'What's wrong? What's going on?' Sato got confused. 

He even began to wonder whether the mirror image had truly died, after all, its corpse was still on the stage. Usually, when a monster or an opponent dies, they disintegrate to starlight but the same didn't happen with it.

Just as Sato began trying to figure out why he had yet to receive any system notification informing him of his victory and was even considering stabbing the mirror image a couple more times to confirm its death, a gentle flash of light abruptly appeared just a few feet away from him. It only lasted for 3 seconds before it went out slowly. With the disappearance of the light, a new arrival had appeared on the stage.

"Congratulations young lord, on completing the Main Trials of my esteemed race." Saimon smiled at Sato. 

Currently, he was filled with joy and delight since, with Sato's triumph, the Caventry's knowledge and history wouldn't be forgotten, and would once more have a chance to appear on the world stage again. Because Sato had completed the Main Trials and was worthy of inheriting the Caventry's entire collection, he had changed the way he used to address Sato to 'young lord'; after all, Saimon was just a servant to the Caventry and not a true Caventry. By ranks, the successor of the Caventry was much higher than him. 

*Ding*

Accompanying the sound of Saimon's voice was the familiar ring of the system notification sound.

"With the completion of the Main trials, you are now eligible to receive your rewards." Saimon smiled.

As Saimon concluded with his words, Sato noticed his Experience bar at the edge of his interface screen begin to rise. Within just two seconds, it had gone reached the level 10 checkpoint and gone past it. Sato was originally close to the level 10 mark so the Experience reward from this mission was more than enough to make it there.

[[ System notification :

Player has leveled up.

Rewarding 5 Main attribute points.

However, before Sato could even read through the introduction for the title [The Precursor], he discovered that his experience bar was still rising and showed no sign of stopping, even after passing the level 11 checkpoint. On the contrary, it even increased in speed.

It was only after it had filled the bar for level 14 and making a little progress towards level 15 that the mind-boggling rise had stopped. In total, Sato had levelled up 5 times, becoming the strongest player in IR based on levels and attributes alone.

"Incredible…" Sato couldn't help but feel that all of this was still a dream. 

A whole 5 levels had just been jumped in less than a week. The higher one goes, the more Experience points would be needed to level up. So that means that the total Experience points needed for these 5 levels Sato had jumped was more than 5 times the total he would need to get from level 0 to level 5. 

If anyone else were to hear of this, they would lament how unfair the world is.

Before Sato could further react to all of this, another system notification greeted his interface.

[[ System notification :

Congratulations on being the first to be ahead of the other players by 5 levels. 

Hidden quest, [Diligence Pays], completed. Awarding title, [Industrious Achiever].

After all of that, Sato could only say one word.

"Wow!"
