Chapter 23: The Rewards

Perched atop the colossal tree branch, the group decided to unveil the rewards of their initial challenge before moving. Casper, fixated his eyes on the ethereal system window, whispering, "Open reward."

In response, a mysterious silver box materialized in the air, its otherworldly aura capturing the moonlight. The silver box slowly unfolded, revealing a metallic hatchet adorned with intricate golden symbols.

As the hatchet emerged, a window materialized before it, providing cryptic details. [A metallic hatchet, weighing 2.5 tons, with the unique ability to return to its owner.]

Casper, disappointed by a hatchet, tossed it to Fray, remarking, "This weapon suits you more, Sir."

Fray, seized the weapon, scrutinizing it with an expert eye. "Yes, this will be useful. Thank you," he acknowledged with a nod.

Casper, seeking an alternative item, inquired, "Does anyone possess an item ill-fitted to their needs?" A glimmer of hope sparked in his eyes.
