?
Alister's eyes widened as the system notification flashed before him.
[Notice! The player has reached the sufficient level to open the Dragon God's Treasury.]
[Items can only be obtained through the exchange of prestige points.]
For a moment, he sat stunned in silence, his thoughts racing.
"The Dragon God's Treasury..." he muttered, barely able to believe it.
One didn't need to be a genius to understand that the dragon god who had raged across the cosmos would certainly have a massive collection of unimaginable items from across worlds. His mind was flooded with possibilities.
Without hesitation, he called out in his thoughts,
'System, open the treasury.'
Another system window materialized before him, displaying an extensive list of items, each with their descriptions, stats, and-more importantly-their prestige point costs.

'So many S-ranked items; it seems the dragon god must have been an absolute looting maniac.' Alister smiled awkwardly as he thought further, 'I hope that doesn't count as disrespect to my ancestors...'
Alister's gaze drifted down the list, and his eyes were immediately drawn to an item that caught his attention: an earring. The description glowed in golden text, standing out among the others.

Alister's breath caught in his throat as he read the description.
'It's amazing and all, but the effects of the overlord's heirloom make this one look like a toy.'
But then, his eyes shifted to the cost.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand..." he whispered, his voice filled with shock. It was an astronomical amount. Although he decided to calm down since he hadn't found out how exactly he could obtain prestige points or how hard obtaining them would be.
'System...' he called out in his thoughts, leaning back in the cab seat, 'how am I supposed to earn prestige points?'
The system responded instantly, its text appearing before him.
[Ways to Obtain Prestige Points:]
-Completing High-Rank Quests (S to EX) 1000p upwards
-Fame and Reputation 7/sp upwards
-Defeating High-Rank Enemies (A to EX) 500p upwards
-Obtaining Achievements and Titles 250p upwards
[Quests will now have ranks!]
A small smile spread to the corner of his lips as he read through the options. The idea excited
him. He wasn't one to shy away from a challenge.
"Well," he muttered, "looks like I've got my work cut out for me."
'Fame and reputation, huh?'
'Meaning depending on how impressive the things I do are, I could obtain prestige points...'
'Does that mean I'll have to show off my strength in the future?'
A sudden thought struck Alister as he gazed at the long list of items in the Dragon God's Treasury. Something clicked in his mind, sparking an idea that made his heart race with hope.
'Wait...' he thought, a hint of excitement creeping into his voice, 'System, can I search for specific items in the treasury?'
[Yes, the player can search for specific items within the Dragon God's Treasury.]
Alister's heart skipped a beat. If the treasury held such powerful items, perhaps it also contained something that could change everything-something that might help Miyu. His breath quickened as he felt a surge of hope.
'System,' he thought, almost whispering the words in his mind, 'search for the Omnipotent
Elixir.'
In the blink of an eye, a new rainbow-glowing status window materialized in front of him, the item's details glowing in gold.

---
Alister stared at the glowing status window in awe, his heart pounding. The Omnipotent Elixir --something that could not only save Miyu but restore her life in ways he hadn't even
imagined. But the price... 500,000 prestige points.
He let out a long, slow breath, his mind racing.
"I can't believe it..." Alister's heart raced as he stared at the description of the Omnipotent Elixir. But the cost...
half a million prestige points. It was massive.
His mind worked frantically, searching for a solution. Suddenly, another thought hit him. He had already gathered two of the four rare items needed to craft the elixir. Maybe there was
another way.
'System,' he called out in his thoughts, 'can the price of the Omnipotent Elixir be recalibrated, considering I already possess two of the necessary items to craft it?'
A brief silence followed, the tension building in the air. Then, the system responded.
[Recalibrating...]
Alister's breath caught in his throat as he waited, hoping against hope that it would work. The system's message blinked before his eyes, lines of text updating.
[Notice! The player has already obtained 2 of the 4 ingredients required for the Omnipotent
Elixir.]
[Recalibration in progress...]
A new system window appeared, the price of the elixir updating before his eyes.
New Cost: 250,000 Prestige Points
Alister let out a shaky breath of relief. The price had been halved. It was still a massive
number, but now it felt within reach.
"Halfway there," he whispered to himself, feeling the weight of the challenge ahead but also the hope. He clenched his fists, excitement and hope burning in his chest. 'And if Lian succeeds in obtaining at least one of the items, then I'll be even closer!'
This was no longer impossible. If he played his cards right, he could get the remaining
prestige points and secure the elixir for Miyu. He would stop at nothing to get what he
needed.
'I'll get there, Miyu,' he thought, a smile spreading on his face as he gazed out the window at
the slowly rising moon.
'I won't let time run out.'
'Your big brother is going to save you... soon.'
