Four options appeared in front of Eren's eyes, following the notifications. The moment he went through these options, his expressions darkened.

His pupils momentarily contracted in shock. These were secondary options? Why did it look like a shortcut to death?

All these options were a bit too extraordinary. They were also rewarding. Just the reward mentioned on the screen alone was lucrative.

The first reward allowed him to meet the author again and ask him a question. Now that he had more information about this world, he already knew what question he was going to force that person to answer.

Not only that, but if he became the Sect Master of the Great Demon Sect, he could gain control over the entire sect and the forces of the eastern continent in turn.

In the absence of an overlord, he could become the next Overlord of the region without needing the same level of strength.

He also knew that it was easier said than done. In the absence of a real Overlord, was there a point in becoming the captain of the ship that was doomed to sink?

The second reward was the upgrade of the Hell's Pass which he already possessed.

He didn't even know what was the proper use of Hell's Pass, but it was definitely a very important thing. And upgrading it also sounded rewarding. It was like an opportunity to upgrade a Mythical Tier item.

If he became the Tower Master of the Necromancer Tower, he could own the most frightening force in the four continents, but he was also going to inherit the enmity with the Holy Empire.

* You have reached a milestone.

* You have been rewarded with secondary options.

* The time limit to complete the options is one month.

* The Secondary Options do not affect the primary options.

* There is no punishment of life for failing the secondary options.

* You must select one of the four options within the next ten minutes.

* If you fail to complete the selected option, all future options of the conqueror path milestones will be disconnected.

* Even if the secondary options are incomplete, the primary options will keep appearing in a normal manner.

As Eren went through the new screen, he realized what had actually happened. He finally understood what secondary options meant.

The secondary options were just a different lineage of his optional system that worked parallel to the primary options.

If he didn't complete a primary option, his system was stuck at that option. He couldn't get another option, which was why he was forced to complete the ones he selected.

The secondary options didn't have that problem as they were completely detached from his main options.

The main options were given to him when he came to this world with the system, but the secondary options were rewarded when he reached a milestone in his path.

He remembered that he had selected two paths. The option to select paths was also detached from his primary options.

'I see. So this system is like a tree that keeps branching. As long as the main branch exists, the primary options aren't lost, the tree will keep branching.'

This revelation put his mind to release. Even if he failed these options, he was only going to lose the secondary branch that could come up with more secondary options for him in the future.

'But if twenty percent in Path of Conqueror gave me a secondary branch... What if I reach twenty percent in Path of Lover as well?' he wondered.
