Chapter 13 Rewards

Aiden and Ava instantly got teleported into another room, which was all white. It looked the same as the waiting room in which Aiden had appeared at the start of the trial.

'Is this the place where they give us our rewards?' thought Aiden.

·ƈθm Suddenly, the system was frantic, messages appeared one after another.

[You have killed the boss monster.]

[You have received 500 XP.]

[+50 points]

[You have obtained the core of the boss monster.]

[The boss monster has dropped a skill book.]

[Final Rankings]

[1st: Aiden]

[2nd: Ava]

[3rd: James]

[4th: Gus]

[You have cleared the first trial.]

[You have finished first in the rankings.]

[You have obtained 1000 XP.]

[You have obtained an item.]

Two boxes that looked like gifts appeared out of nowhere in front of Aiden, they seemed to be the skill book and the item he had. One of them was gray and the other was green but Aiden didn't know what that meant. Ava, on the other hand, only received one gray gift.

'So many rewards!' thought Aiden as he looked in front of him and at the messages from the system. He was shocked when he saw that killing the boss monster would give him 500 XP, half of what he had gotten from doing the trial.

Looking at all the rewards he had gotten, he was curious about what Ava had obtained by killing the boss monster with him and finishing second in the rankings of the trial.

"Ava, what did you get?" said Aiden, excited by the amount of rewards he had gotten.

"Oh, I got some experience and I got an item from the boss monster, I got a gray box and some other things," said Ava, realizing that her attitude was not respectful toward Aiden and that she needed to at least tell him about some of her rewards.

'Maybe it's not polite to ask others the rewards they get after a trial?' thought Aiden, not understanding why she didn't answer him completely and didn't mention all of them.

"Well, I got pretty much the same as you except, I received an item and a skill book," said Aiden, nonchalantly.

"A skill book?!" exclaimed Ava, shocked by what she had just heard come out of the mouth of Aiden.

"Yeah, is that a big deal?"

"Of course, it is, a skill book is the best reward you can get when doing the first trial, it can only be obtained by killing the boss monster. Those who have obtained skill books on their first trial are called the Celestials because they have the best potential out of everyone. You're really lucky!"

"I guess, I am ahah," replied Aiden, not understanding completely what she was saying, he just thought that it was normal to obtain something like this. After all, he didn't know the strength of the average Awakened and he couldn't compare himself to other Awakened.

He was certain that the teammates he got matched with for his first trial were probably not that great because they didn't seem prepared for the trial. Aiden thought that people from strong families like the one he came from would probably be coming into the first trial better prepared and they would be more skillful than the ones with Aiden.

"Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so... I hope you'll forget what we did at the start of the trial and won't be mad at us," said Ava, looking forward to what he would say.

"Oh that's fine, it didn't affect me that much during the trial. I was, also, able to progress way faster because of that since the experience I had for killing a monster was all mine," said Aiden.

Of course, he was frustrated at the start, but he understood why they had done so. I mean having a useless teammate would have surely not helped them.

"Then, I'll see you again at the tournament!" said Ava as she disappeared from his sight.

'Tournament? What is she talking about?' thought Aiden as he didn't understand what she was talking about.

However, he didn't dwell on it for too long as a message from the system appeared in front of him.

[Teleporting back to the real world.]

It seemed it was time for him to go back to the real world.

He appeared in the same room as earlier when he left, the room was still completely empty with only a bed and a mirror. However, when he looked at himself in the mirror, he could see that he had changed a bit physically his muscles were still not visible by a lot but they were starting to appear little by little.

*Poof*

*Poof*

The two boxes from earlier, also, appeared in front of him. However, before opening them he decided to look at what level he was currently at with the experience he had received from the trial.

'Status'

[Aiden Nightshade]

[Level 10]

[Health: 150]

[Mana: 10]

[Race: Human]

[Class: None]

[Strength: 4]

[Agility: 4]

[Dexterity: 2]

[Defense: 1]

[Stamina: 1]

[Charm: 2]

[Unallocated Stat Points: 3]

[Skills]

[Shadow Steps Lvl.MAX(Passive)]

[Dagger mastery Lvl.3 (Passive)]

[Mind of an Assassin Lvl.1(Active skill), Cost: 0 MP]

Looking at his status, he was surprised to see that he had already attained level 10. He, also, noticed that he had three stat points to apply to whatever stat he wanted, so he decided to add one stat point to Defense, Stamina, and Charm. He chose those stats because he didn't want any of his stats to fall behind since he wanted to be great at everything and not only one.

Also, he noticed that his health had increased by 50 and that his mana had increased by five which was probably because he had reached level 10 since he hadn't seen them change in the previous levels.

After upgrading his stats and looking at the changes in health and mana, Aiden, excited, decided to open the gray box he had gotten from the trial because it didn't look as great as the one in green, it was just a feeling but he felt that the green one would probably be much better.

As he picked it up, a message from the system appeared.

[Basic Item Box]

[Description: The user opening this box will obtain a Basic Tier Item.]

Reading the description of the gray box, he decided to open it.

[Speed Boots]

[Rank: Basic]

[Restrictions: Only Assassins can equip.]

[Description: Boots that were crafted skillfully, will provide the user with a 5% increase when he is moving at full speed. Those boots are useful when running away or engaging with opponents.]

Aiden was sad that one of the rewards he had gotten from his trial was the weakest grade item someone could get.

But what Aiden didn't know was that just having one Basic tier reward after coming out of the first trial was already good, and the fact he had gotten two rewards was exceptional. The fact that one of the rewards he got was a skill book was even more exceptional.

However, Aiden noticed that there was a restriction on the boots which said that only assassins could equip them seeing this Aiden got frustrated because he didn't have a class which meant he couldn't even equip that item.

But that didn't deter him from trying the boots, so he decided to try them on maybe the restriction wouldn't apply to him since he didn't have a class, and from what Gus had told him, he was probably the only one in the world who didn't have one.
