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!
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!]
[Error 404: User has no class.]
'An error? Is the system having a problem?' Aiden thought, unsure of what was happening right now.
The messages of an error continued appearing, and it kept going, telling him that he couldn't equip the item because he had no class. Shouldn't it just say to him that he couldn't put them on right away without making all this fuss?
He found it quite weird since it was the first time it happened to him since he had arrived.
But those error messages made Aiden realize that maybe he didn't know a lot about the world that he transmigrated him. Since he had arrived in this body, not much was normal, powers, the Awakened, it was a lot to take in. It seemed that absorbing all this information took some energy out of Aiden for him to keep up with everything that was happening.
While thinking about this, the system was still beeping over and over in his head, which started to annoy him a little bit, but he still wanted to know what was happening to the system. Would it remove its Awakened Powers, thinking he is an anomaly?
Nobody could find the answer to that question. Even people who had lived their entire lives in this world didn't know much about the powers they were given and where they had come from. It seemed that having powers for them was normal, and they didn't find it weird.
However, that wasn't the case for Aiden, who had just found out about everything that was surrounding him: the Status, the System, the Otherworld. It was a lot for him to take in a couple of hours. The fact he didn't come from this world caused him to think about questions that people who had lived their entire life here wouldn't think of.
Interrupting his thoughts, the system stopped beeping inside of his mind, and a new message appeared in front of Aiden. It seemed to have found a solution to the problem at hand.
[The restrictions on equipment are no longer being applied to you.]
This was huge news. It meant he could use whatever equipment he wanted and he could change weapons depending on the situation at hand, it was such a big advantage over others.
'Is this going to apply to the skills as well?' Aiden said to himself.
If it did work with the skills, Aiden could possibly become a master of all classes since he would be able to learn all the skills. Maybe he could use the techniques that were developed by some powerful families.
Realizing the importance of the message in front of him, he decided to test if it was true by equipping those boots.
He put on the boots that didn't have much detail. It seemed the person who had created them didn't put much thought into the design and only wanted it to be used for its skill and not its beauty.
The boots were grey, just like the box they had come out from, with small white lines adding some relief to the boots, which gave a little style to them. They were simple, but they fit into his feet perfectly, as if they were created for him. The fact that they were not beautiful didn't cause a problem for Aiden because as long as they would help him become stronger, he had no problem with how they looked.
As he put them on, he seemed to feel some type of energy entering his body, it was the same feeling he felt when upgrading his stats, it seemed that the effect from the boots was working.
They were perfect. Now, Aiden didn't need to worry about the equipment he would choose. Now, he would take the ones that would benefit him the most.
[Your speed has been increased by 5%.]
It was now official. Even the system was telling him that the effect had been activated.
It was now time for Aiden to look at his other reward, the green box, which contained a skill book, his most important reward.
Excited, he looked at the green box as if he would completely devour it, wanting to see what he would obtain because if he couldn't use it, he would probably have to sell it.
But Aiden had absolutely no idea where he could find a place to sell his rewards. The memories of the old Aiden didn't seem to appear in his mind anymore. It looked like he was alone now, trying to discover this world by himself.
However, one thing that he could still feel from his old body was the hatred he felt when he thought about the Nightshade family.
Just having those thoughts caused Aiden to feel rage from deep within him. Aiden couldn't see it, but if he looked in the mirror, he would've seen his fists clenched and his eyes filled with fury. He was starting to lose control of his body without even realizing it.
'What have they done to him for him to feel such rage by simply thinking about that family.'
He knew they had abandoned him, but he had no idea about what he had gone through.
Seeing his body reacting this way, he quickly thought about the green box he was going to open.
When he opened the green box in front of him, the heart of Aiden seemed to calm down instantly.
It really was a weird sensation, losing control of your own body.
Not wanting to have that feeling again anytime soon, he started opening the box.
[Green Skill Box]
[Description: Will obtain a Green Ranked Skill Book by opening it.]
The light coming out of it completely blinded Aiden for a moment, which caused him to not see what was inside the box, but as the light started to dismiss, a book could be seen inside of it.
The book was red and black with a title but Aiden was too far away to see what was written on it, he would probably have to take it out to see the title. The contrast between the red and black made the book stand out and captivating to the eye. An aura could also be seen to be coming out of the book, the aura wasn't that great but it probably represented the power contained inside the skill book.
'Is that what a skill book looks like?' He thought, observing the book and the power that seemed to come out of it.
