Chapter 14: Unbelievable Rewards!!!

Chapter 14: Unbelievable rewards!!!

<Rewards Collected>

<Congratulations on getting +1 System, +10 All Attributes and a specially designed armor.>

<Though you completed the last stage and is supposed to pass the remaining stages, you are obligated to try last 5 stages in the future.>

…

…

I was shocked to see the rewards. They were unbelievably generous and I forgot about the reality I had discovered. Right now, all I had in mind was the rewards and how to use them to get stronger faster to resist them. (Referring to the ones who held Shiva's and everyone's fate in their hands)

I upgraded the system at first.

<Congratulations on getting System to Level-3.>

<Unlimited Storage Unlocked>

Offers a space for storing items of all sorts

<Upgrade added>

Able to upgrade equipment after all conditions are fulfilled.

<Advanced AI added>

Your thoughts are all what is needed to instruct the system.

I was glad to see that I didn't have to talk to the useless system now. I liked the upgrade function and the unlimited storage function. I currently didn't have any use for it right now as I didn't have any materials or things to store.

The +10 attributes were also very generous as it meant addition of 50 attributes. It would have needed more than 12 levels for me to collect that much basic attributes.

And the last reward was the most insane. It was a tailored made armor specially for me.

<Shiva's Armor>

Covers almost every part of the body from head to feet.

Able to grow and adjust with the user's body.

Its stat will change as its user levels up.

I unequipped the Chilly armor and Beginner's armor and wore the new Armor. My Stats had undergone a huge change now after the addition of 50 basic stats.

I was feeling good when I exited the dungeon. I was heading back to the village when I encountered some thugs. They were the same people who have been eyeing my armors earlier. Now, my armor was all them more flashier and shinier that they were already drooling. I looked beside them and saw two teenagers beaten very brutally. They must have been their targets before me I guessed.

"Hey brat. If you know what's good for you, leave the armor and get out or don't blame us for things getting out of hand." One of the thugs standing at the very front looked at me and spoke. He was probably the group's leader.

"That's right. If you don't want to beaten just like them, then you better follow whatever our boss said or else. He-He" Another thug spoke.

I didn't reply to them. I just stared at them deeply with my face void of any emotions.

"Ha-ha. Just look at him. He is so scared that he looks as if he is in panic disorder." The 1st thug looked at me with disdain all over his face. And all his lackeys started laughing at me.

I didn't do anything except staring at them. Suddenly, the air started getting heavy and deadlier. But the thugs were like frogs sitting at the bottom of the well. They didn't know that they were biting more than they can chew.

When the thugs felt the air getting heavy, they were shocked and scared at first but they calmed down next instant. They probably felt confident with their numbers.

"Oe Muji. I said to leave the armor if you want to get out of here alive." He spoke and threatened me again. The others were cheering him. And he started to get ahead of himself and charged at me.

(Oe muji---Nepali cursing word which translates to hey bastard!!)

By now, my mentality had changed. After having to kill my own family in the illusion, I had matured and didn't hesitate even if I have to kill them now. I had steeled my resolve. I just sheathed my sword and chopped at him.

He didn't even know what happened when his head was severed from his neck and flew back.

Ahh

He screamed without even knowing where he was hurt and his head rolled down on the ground and stopped after reaching to the group of thugs. When the group of the thugs saw their leader's severed head, they were scared and started having panic attacks.

I didn't let them wander and run away as I rushed at them with my full speed and finished them all with one hit kill. And the more I killed, my aura and vibe also became more deadly and chilly.

<Congratulations on killing local thugs>

<50 CP obtained>

I then sold the chilly helmet and the beginner's armor for 10CP.

I spend them for a better armor for my father and sister along with some brown cores which could be used for healing purposes.

I headed home and left the armors and cores along with a note. I knew that I had to focus my all on getting stronger now as that was the only method to free all of us and be safe completely. I had to complete more and more dungeons and level up faster.

"Hey, dad. I am heading out now. Don't worry about me and keep yourself and sister safe. Say hi to her from me. I am sorry for leaving right now without telling you and only leaving a note. I will be alive no matter what, so, don't worry about me."

…

…

I headed out of the village and gazed at the sky. It was mid night right now. The sky was full of twinkling stars and a half moon. I laid down on the ground and gazed at the sky with my mind full of thoughts.

Will I be able to do this?

Can such a thing really happen?

Why do I have to go through this alone?

I had all kinds of negative emotions welled up inside me. I then remembered the thing I decided on the last night I was inside the illusion. I was lucky to came out of the illusion thanks to that cruel truth.

I took a deep breath and thought about my family. I needed to accept the truth and only then I can head forward I thought. I propelled all my negative thoughts and calmed myself. I remembered that overthinking would not change anything. It would only stress myself.

Knowing whether everything was real or not didn't matter to me. Whether I was just a character or not, I knew that I was in full control of my life. This thought had managed to calm me down in the illusion. I was always and will always be in control of my life. So, it didn't matter whatever the reality was. I thought that I wasn't alone in this world. Everyone was just like me. So, I didn't have to feel sad about that.

I rested there for a while and headed to the Anadha dungeon. It was time to try the Legendary mode of the dungeon. I scanned my palm and entered the Legendary dungeon.
