Chương 40: New Achievement!

Could it be…? Could it God's Record have awakened her memory? And she said she didn't want to bother herself to report to me some changes that happened in God's Record feature. What kind of reason is that?

While Clover was having these thoughts, as if sensing it, God's Record said, [God's Record prefers not to disturb host activity, and will only report this matter only if you have time. Unless it is something urgent otherwise.]

That's right! In the past three days, he has been training relentlessly and doesn't have much time to bother things outside his training. So that's why he felt a little lonely, and it caused him to mention that it had been days since he heard God's Record voice.

His mind was all around Eleanor's and Rose's safety, and he couldn't help but feel worried about them. In conclusion, this reason caused him to fasten his arrangements, given the limited time he have. He needed to reach the center of the quake since he was pretty sure that it was the only clue he have regarding the current situation of the Earth.

He remembered God mentioned some sects to guide them and support them throughout the ups and downs of the habitants of the Earth. However, he felt skeptical about these arrangements; since what he saw was given from the time he had been here, and from now, he met no human aside from Morgan, given the fact that the human population almost reached 8 billion.

So what's the reason for establishing their branch here? Given the fact that they (Mortal) were prone to their animus, which caused a rise of Abomination? Why would they waste their resources helping a walking, possible Abomination through their establishment?

He had many questions on his mind, but he erased these negative thoughts by shaking his head. Clover opened his mouth and muttered, "God's Record Open."

[Name: Clover Madison]

[Race: Mortal Human.]

[Cultivation phase/stage: Rank 1: Middle Stage.]

[Cultivation Method: Peak Mortal Rank Cultivation Manual.]

[Mastery: Throwing Basic, Trickster Novice, Close Combat Novice, (New) Sword Novice.]

[Weapon: Flying knives, Rapier sword.]

[Techniques: Deadly five fatal strikes, Quick Change, (New) Flash Drive!]

[Records: <Bronze> {First Kill!} <1/3>, (New) <Bronze> {Killing your nemesis!}<1/30>.]

[Mission: None at the moment.]

Clover noticed the "New" signs after the name of what it was. In addition, it seems that many of them added the God's Record table of achievements, causing Clover to feel smug about it.

Although God's Record didn't help him much, he remembered the cleansing God's Record did to his body, making him feel grateful towards her. However, he forgot the fact that God's Record only acted since she felt threatened by it and had no choice but to act.

"New Achievement?"

Clover noticed another achievement recorded by his Records function. Although it was only a bronze badge, he knew that he could upgrade it later on if he continued performing the task it asked. However, when he saw the number, he couldn't help but feel frustrated by the absurd number it asked.

Having his interests gained by this new achievement, he asked God's Record to open it.

[<Bronze> {Killing your nemesis!}<1/30>]

[Descriptions: Abomination was born from the nemesis of every Cultivator – their animus. So how could killing them (Abomination) could not be acknowledged as an Achievement?]

[Objectives for the Next Rank (Silver): To receive the Silver badge, you must have to complete the Goal. Goal: Kill thirty Abomination.]

[Remarks: The Goal doesn't have restrictions. In essence, every Abomination you kill, no matter the age will be recorded and counted as a kill.]

His sight was greeted by lines of text after another, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! God's Record continued updating its feature, huh? Unlike the first achievements when I saw it, it was nothing before me."

God's Record replied with a chilling and reserved voice. [Host shall not be more surprised about this. Since God's Record will continue providing the Host with more and more features for your achievements. Please continue acquiring achievements, and God's Record will be behind your back in keeping it.]

"Hmm… You're right." Clover nodded his head, as he agreed with God's Record statements. However, he failed to acknowledge the fact God's Record only recorded his achievements, but not the typical godly system that rewarded the host every time they did stupid things.

Clover as an optimistic person, he knew that but he had no choice but to disperse those negative thoughts anyway but to treat God's Record as an existence that would help him in any circumstance that was beyond his hands.

Just like what God's Record did earlier in the cleansing, and even though he didn't expect that the Abomination had the certain kind of aura that could even affect the human's physical body, the fact that God's Record lent a hand to him, he felt grateful by that. Despite the fact, that he didn't acknowledge God's Record could give him information about that kind of power to the Abomination.

"God's Record Closed," He muttered before putting his attention elsewhere. His mind was muddled about the supernatural thing that saved him from landing to death.

Although it was a strong gust of wind that smacked at him, the wind didn't mean it was invisible, as he could distinctly see the bright, vibrant color of green, as if it was the pure wind that came from the magical tree itself.

He couldn't explain it, but one thing was for sure, the magical thing that happened before his eyes at that time was no different from the magical thing that happened only in some fantasy child movie.

That magical phenomenon continued revolving towards Clover's mind, and he couldn't help that maybe there was someone who took a liking for him, and they would claim him as their husband; if he reached a certain height, he would be forcefully tied himself to them. He was afraid, but that kind of troupe did exist in some novels he read.

"Now that I achieve what I want, and I have already done with this waste of time anymore. It's much better to move on. Eleanor and Rose are still waiting for me," He said while his eyes flashed with unyielding determination. He would not stop until his eyes saw them safe and sound or worst: their rotting corpse.

His head turned left and right before it came to a halt, and his gaze landed on a branch of the colossal tree that he sliced kilometers away above the crown of trees. Now that the limb blended into the environment below the colossal tree it connected to before. Anyone could mistake the branch for a trunk of an average tree.

In conclusion, the limb may look so thin when it was still attached to the colossal tree, yet now that he had personally seen it close, it was thick like an average tree he found everywhere.

His gaze then landed on his Rapier sword whose size was like an ant if it compared to the thin branch he cut, and he couldn't help but feel a massive headache whenever he thought of using the branch as a scabbard.

He was about to take his steps, and that's when he realized about neglecting his physical condition. Just before he tried to control his lower limb, he fell forward and reflexively caught the ground, preventing his fall. He sat with a dumbfounded expression.

"I was planning after having the cut in the thin branch and tried to make the sheathed along the journey, but it seems it is impossible if my body wanted to take a day of rest. Maybe I have to alter the plan a little bit, I guess?" He said with a bitter smile on his face.

Although Clover wanted to fasten his arrangements, and as soon as possible he reached his desired destination, his body disagreed and wanted to take a rest.

It was natural for his body to feel that way, given the fact that he used his technique twice, which even using once was already beyond the limit.
