Chapter 254 254 - Conditions

'Myself?' Aiden thought, unsure about what it meant as the system had stopped that sentence right there not adding anything else.

Aiden then couldn't help but remove that thought from his mind, always asking himself what would be happening inside the trial.

In what way would he be fighting himself, that was the question which Aiden couldn't get rid of.

Then, as he thought about it for a few minutes, he realized that the trial didn't seem to be anywhere close to starting as he couldn't hear that beeping no matter how hard he was trying to hear it and go inside the trial.

It seemed that the system wasn't done with him yet or else why would he still be stuck here, doing absolutely nothing at all?

After noticing that he couldn't go inside the trial, he decided to ask the system what was happening, and he got quite a simple answer.

*BEEP*

[We are not ready yet.]

Seeing that message, Aiden couldn't help but be stunned by the word which they had just used, 'we'.

The fact that they had used such a word made it painfully obvious that there really was a group behind that system.

It seemed that Melinda hadn't lied about him about this whole thing earlier.

Aiden hadn't been sure if she had said the truth or not, however, now he seemed to be quite sure about this whole thing.

Even if it wasn't one hundred percent sure, Aiden was now almost assured that she had told the truth and thinking about it, Aiden wasn't able to find a single good reason to lie about it.

"And what the hell do you mean by 'you're not ready'," Aiden exclaimed, not understanding how such a thing was even possible in the first place.

Aiden knew that it was the system which had brought them here, so it simply made sense for it to be ready for him to join the trial as soon as he appeared here.

However, it seemed that there was some sort of delay which Aiden completely ignored and to be quite frank it was quite funny thinking about it.

The system was now the one that wasn't able to keep up with Aiden at the moment.

Having that thought, Aiden revealed a short laughter, however, it died just as fast as it had appeared.

Then, as he finished that small laughter, he received a beeping sound without much surprise.nOvE-lb-1n

It seemed that Aiden mocking them had accelerated whatever procedure or problem they were going through which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

It simply meant that Aiden would have the chance to learn about the Trial Objective faster, and by knowing about it earlier, he would be able to finally find an answer to the question he had gotten earlier.

Just why would he have to fight against himself?

That was the answer that he would soon be getting from the system as he read the message that just appeared in front of him.

[The world in which you will go is now ready and to give you some help we will describe the situation in which you will be when you arrive. You will not be completely homeless or something like that, you will be arriving as a vagabond from somewhere really far away.]

[Also, when arriving in the city, the first thing that you will need to do to gain <Reputation> is simple. You will need to open a shop where you will be selling either services or things related to the class which is Enchanting. If you don't respect this rule, you will fail the trial.]

[However, do keep in mind, that you should be amassing some money before opening your shop and also you will need to learn some things about enchanting stuff, so make sure that you learn about the city that you will be entering. You will have one full month to prepare for your store launch.]

Then, the system took a small break as no other messages appeared in front of him.

A few seconds later, it started once again as Aiden was quite impatient in learning about the <Trial Objective>.

He knew that it was about to be revealed and he couldn't help but be excited to learn about it.

To be completely honest, when he read that he would need to open a small shop and run some business, a smile appeared on his face as it really seemed like a good idea.

However, the more that he thought about it, the more he realized that simply running a small shop wouldn't do as he wouldn't get stronger while doing so.

But, then as he had that thought, he heard a beeping sound which announced that the system would once again make multiple messages in front of him.

[By running your business or shop, you will be getting stronger. However, we won't be giving you the details.]

[It is now time to reveal the <Trial Objective>. For this trial, there will be quite a unique condition that hasn't appeared often in the past, you will have some sort of time limit before completing the trial.]

[Basically, to complete this trial and pass on the next one, you need to amass 100,000 Reputation. However, you will need to do so in a maximum of three months. Nonetheless, keep in mind that if you reach that objective in less than three months, you will still be continuing your challenge since amassing more Reputation will give you access to buying more things at the end of the trial.]

Then, after Aiden finished reading all those messages, he decided to remind himself of everything that the system had just made appear in front of him.

"Alright, so I'll be a vagabond. When I enter I will need to get money and knowledge, then I will need to open a shop and try my best to earn 100,000 Reputation Points."

'However, there's a small problem, how do I gain Reputation Points?' Aiden thought.
