After screaming some more unkind and rage filled profanities, 01 finally calmed down and looked at all the panels that opened in front of him.
[Scenario Complete.*Proceed and Open Rewards*]
01 Pressed proceed.
The White World was the same as before. The same house chairs and table. The garden was the same. As if it was frozen in time. There was was wind blowing but nothing was moving not the leaves, not the grass or the birds that was on the trees.

[Challenge #2- Failure. Rewards discarded]
01 walked over to the chair that was in the same place as last time and sat down. He looked at these windows about Avatars and thought
"What are these avatars and how did I get them?"
[Avatars are like costumes. You can only use them in the White World. You get to take the appearance of the creatures when you meet all the conditions of. They are,
1. Have knowledge of.
2. Have seen personally.
3. Have interacted with.]
Ah that's pretty cool. Thought 01 untill he realised that he didn't get the goat Avatar.
"Wait a second. WHERE IS MY GOAT AVATAR?" feeling cheated, he questioned the system.
[It is a tutorial creature. It is always unlocked. You could've and can switch to that, and any avatar at any time of your liking. Would you like to switch your avatar to (The Mountain Goat) ?]
"Oh, hell no." immediately replied 01. "I would rather be a cool wraith then a dumb goat."
[Would you like to switch your avatar to (Depth Mana Wraith)?]
"Yes." and a magical blue hue of wind started to encircle him as 01 spread his hands for it.
[Avatar transformation failed.]
"Huh? What? Why?"
[Not enough water detected in the environment.]
"What !?" He exclaimed. As he looked at the list of avatars he had.
"If this is like this then...."
01 tried to equip the merman next,
[Avatar transformation failed.]
"So you're telling me, that I can't use any of these that I unlocked.....because I'm not underwater."
[Since you are trying to change into an Avatar that needs water to live, yes you must be underwater.]
01 took a deep breath and sighed. "Nothing ever goes my way." he thought and opened his status where a reveal button was shining with glitters and not brightly with blinding lights.
[*Reveal Title*]
01 taps on the panel and the title shimmers into appearance.
[Title Name - Make it look easy.]
[Get an unique ending on your first try in a scenario.]
[The ending that requires some precise events to occur and cause an unique ending and doing it without any prior knowledge is pretty good. ]
[Title Effect - If someone in your vicinity talks about anything related to an unique ending, you will be alerted. You can listen to them as if they are right beside you in a language you can understand easily.]
[Activation Condition - Target needs to be in vision and within 400 meters. Once activated, the voice can only be stopped if you yourself cancel it. ]
01 finally after all this time felt rewarded. Of course he knew that his [Invincible Soul] was a great title, but when you get something new that you get from doing something, it just feels much better.
"Huh.... I got something useful....accept what is there for me if its a unique ending."
A panel opens showing his rewards.
[Rewards have been calculated. Opening...]
01 Felt ECSTATIC seeing this panel. He had a good feeling.

"Oh so there is something for me in a unique ending and holy mother of texts. It's always texts. How much texts do you need. At this point this is becoming a problem. Why is there so much text?"
"Your intelligence is not high enough to understand the shorter version of anything. So you are getting the texts."
01 turns around to see a kid with a hat, from top to bottom covered in some kind of black goo. The hat made it so that the kids face wasn't seen.
He gets up from his chair and started getting closer to the kid. This is when he realised that the grasses and birds started to move again. So he stopped and sat back down in his chair and questioned,
"Where were you all this time? I came here like ages ago after finishing the scenario and what's up with all the black goo things..."
The kid in goo was none other then God himself. Who snapped his fingers and cleaned the goo of of him the hat disappeared as well revealing his dark abyssal face and grey short spiked hair.
God walks to the other chair and sits down and raises his hands up stretching. The goo disappeared of off him in a second.
"I was trying to scare you with all the blood but i suppose it didn't work." he leaned on the chair and stayed there.
01 calmly responded,
"Eh it's just blood." and rested on the chair. After a few minutes of silence 01 realised that IT WAS BLOOD and started questioning him,
"Wait THAT WAS BLOOD? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UPTO?"
God sat up straight and leaned closer to 01 while gesturing him to come closer. 01 leaned his head forward. God started whispering in 01s ear.
"I won't tell you."
"Oh, that's what happened.....Wait, what the hell? Tell me what you've been doing.
"Hah your reactions are stupid as always." God got up from the chair and started walking. He gestured 01 to follow him.
01got up and followed him. God led him around the back of the house where a small pool was.
As soon as 01 turned the corner his jaw dropped. There was 11 gigantic heads of what looked like snaked on the ground. Each of them was more taller then the house. These all looked clean as if they just dropped dead without any outer force accept one was brutally smashed in with its brain exposed.
01 walked around the dead snakes and saw that each of these are so long that he couldn't even see there tails even though 9 of them are laid down straight and 2 from his perspective looked considerably small. They all had something pierced through the side of there head all at the same spot accept the two that were smaller on which they were more to the side.
"Did you kill these snakes? No more importantly how did you kill these snakes?"
Little God facepalmed and replied,
"It's not a 'Snake' 01. It's a HYDRA."
"Am I supposed to know what a Hydra is?"
"Are you not?" followed this came silence as 01 continued to see and touch the hydra while Little God was simply leaning against it and looked at 01 as he examined it. Little God felt proud of himself that after so many years theres someone who is here to see his hunt.
Hydra is a giant snake like monster that leaves in a large pool of water preferably, an ocean. It has a total of nine bodies and nine heads. It's main ability is having very his regenerative capabilities. It's so good that it is able to regenerate and entire head even if it gets cut off. It also has poison that it can spew from its mouth. It couldn't be killed as long as one head was still alive.
01 finished examining the hydra and asked the boy,
"Why does this thing has 9 bodies but 11 heads?"
He felt a bit hurt that 01 found a fault in his hunt almost immediately, but it wasn't bad. The only one up until now who judged him was the system and it knew everything. So now that someone else who doesn't know anything is asking, it felt refreshing. He started explaining what a Hydra is and how it works.
After a while,
"So basically if I don't kill these things in a technical way and just cut the head off, then 2 will pop out of the place where the first head was."
'01 listened to his entire explanation attentively. It feels good to explain stuff to others.' thought Little God.
"So you failed to kill it in one go. Even after killing it millions of times? " 01 criticized.
'On the second thought, maybe it was a mistake to explain everything to this guy.' He decided to change the topic.
"Anyways how did your scenario go? Was it sad to die five times and failing?" he believed that 01 failed horribly with every part of his mind.
"Why don't you see it for yourself?" this caught him off guard. 01s voice had smug written all over it. He sounded proud and happy instead of what he expected, sad and angry.
"Nooooooo." he shook his head.
"Yeeeeeees." 01 nodded
"Noooooooooo."
"Yeeeeeeeeees."
Little God transformed back to his original, just, God form and opened system. He checked some different panels and was speechless. He walked through the backdoor of the house and went inside.
"You can go inside?" thought 01.
[It's a house. Why WOULDN'T you be able to go inside.]
01 ignored the system and walked in the house following God.
God was sitting on a sofa, the only thing that is in this ENTIRE house was ONE sofa. There are two windows. The walls are Lime and a brown sofa and God was lying on it lifelessly.
01 walked up to the guy who looked like was sleeping but he couldn't tell because of the lack of a face.
"At least get a bed...."
No reaction from the guy.
01 shrugged and went outside to sit down on his favourite chair to see his rewards.
He had another title to open apparently. He got it from completing the scenario. He presses reveal.
[Title Name - First B Scenario.]
[Complete your first B level difficulty scenario.]
[Title effect- Feel a little good]
He felt a little good and went ahead to read the boxes he got.
[Item-Jack Box]
[This contains everything that is possible to be received. But this can also take something from you as well, or both. So be careful when you open this.You don't want that beautiful looking Item/Skill/Title/Avatar taken away from you now do you?]
01 Immediately put it down on the table and moved his hands away from it as if it's the plague and it disappeared into his mind. He continued to read the ticket he received.
[Deus Ex Machina Ticket.]
[A God who you know of will and is forced to help you in a scenario. However, any unique ending that this will create will not reward you.]
Sounds powerful. Saving it for a good time will be a good idea I guess. Now onto the boxes. These will be good. I can feel it in my bones.
He opens the first box, it had no effects or anything just a small *Bloop* and opened a menu in front of him.
[Quick Feet(Passive) -Uncommon]
[Be a somewhat faster in everything then what is normal for the species you are.]
"Oh that's rough." Came a voice from behind 01s ears.
01 turned around and saw God looking at him, clearly intrigued by his unboxing.
"You almost scared the life out of me." 01 said and God started laughing and 01 just stared at him confused.
"That's a good joke."
"What?"
"Scared the life out of you? And you're already dead? That was a good joke."
01 felt awkward but he didn't want this guy to be mad at him when he will need him soon.
"Yes It was right? I planned it as soon as you came behind me. Come sit down. I have another box and a Jack Box left."
"Oh? a Jack Box? now that would be interesting." he teleports and sits down on the chair. "Go ahead."
"Wait let me use this title first."
All this time he had a panel open beside him.
[No choice in this reward detected. Boost the skill?]
And of course, 01 pressed yes.
[Quick Feet(Passive) - Rare]
[Be noticeably faster in everything then what is normal for the species you are.]
"That's got to be a glitched title." God said seeing how it just.... works.
"Pretty sure we had this same exact conversation before..."
God threw his arm up and just leaned back while 01 opened the last box. It also had no effect.
[ Spit Words(Passive/Active)- Rare ]
[Making random noises in the face of a life and death situation where you can talk has a 30% chance that you will be misheard and saved. Passively, you talk 4% worse.]
"Eh?" said 01 and looked at God. God simply shrugged to say that he has no idea what this is.
01 boosted the skill like always
[ Spit Words(Passive/Active)- Epic ]
[Making random noises in the face of a life and death situation where you can talk has a 40% chance that you will be misheard and saved. Passively, you talk 2% worse.]
"Cool. Okay. Very Nice. 10% improvement. Awesome. Now,
OPEN THE JACK BOX."
This is the main event that God was waiting for a long while. A Jack Box. He has a few personal experience with that and THE JACK. He beat the crap out of that guy and took back one of his precious weapon. It brought back some memories.
"I'll do it at some other time."
"No you do it NOW." 01 felt like he was being torn apart by the guy and his booming voice making it feel like he was about to die. When suddenly from his mouth he said,
"Aifolshortonosphol."
"What is it that you want to ask? Ask it it quick and open the Jack Box." He said while sitting straight on his chair and looking into 01s soul with that featureless face.
01 was confused that what just happened of course system, saves him like always.
[That was your [Spit Words] activating.]
01 felt relieved and sighed but he felt the gaze of God hitting him and his brain worked two thousand times faster searching for a good question and he remembered that he always had one with him and he never asked.
"Who was I before you brought me here?"
God relaxed back on his chair ,
"You really wanna know it that badly? Okay I will tell you. After you open the Jack Box and get something good."
01 felt the challenge and dived into it.
"And what's the guarantee that I'll get the answer from you?"
God clapped and a quest was made for 01,
[Challenge - Open the Jack Box and get something Good.]
[Upon 01 receiving something good from the Jack Box, I ****** promise with all my divinity that, I will tell 01 his past life before him coming here. The system will be my witness. If I lie his past I will become his test subject and hand all power over to 01]
[Accept the Challenge?]
"Now you feel upto it?"
01 had a smile on his face and brought the box out.
The box was jade green and had a black 𝓙 (J) written on it. He smashed the box down on the table and opened it and got in a confusing situation.
