Chapter 13: Rewards

Aiden and Ava instantly got teleported into another room, which was also 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?' Aiden thought.

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]

[Failed: James]

[Failed: 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.

'What are those boxes?' Aiden thought 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?" He asked.

"Oh, I got some experience, and I got an item from the boss monster. I also got a gray box and some other things," She replied, clearly not wanting to tell him everything that she had received.

Aiden nodded without revealing his rewards, as he didn't need to. However, he wanted to know a little more about those boxes which had appeared in front of him.

"Ava, what's that gray box that you have?" He asked, not wanting to reveal that he had gotten two of them, with one of them being a different color.

"They are item boxes. Basically, they give you a random item of the grade of the color of the box."

"Then, what are the best rewards one can have during this trial?" Aiden asked, as he didn't want to reveal to her that he had a skill book or anything for that matter.

"Well, that's easy. It's a skill book."

'Jackpot!' Aiden thought with excitement.

"Why is it the best possible reward?"

"Well, it's simple. A skill book is the best reward you can get when doing the first trial because 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. But why are you asking that?"

"Oh, no reason. Don't worry," he replied, acting like everything was normal.

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. Well, for the most part. 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 me," Ava said, looking forward to what he would say.

"It's all in the past. Though, if I ever find you again... you'll have to listen to everything that I say," Aiden said with a smirk.

"Then, may we never see each other again," Ava said, disappearing as she didn't want to be his slave.

'I hope I won't see him at the Inter Family Tournament,' she thought, knowing that she would probably be a participant.

[Teleporting you back to Nova...]

It seemed it was time for him to go back to Nova, the world in which he had been reincarnated.

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!

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% speed 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.

[Equipping Speed Boots]

[Error 404!]

[Error 404: User has no class.]
