[Congratulations, host. You have unlocked a new function.] A cold, feminine voice woke him up from his stupor. It took him a few seconds to process what The God's Record said.
"Finally! Is it something useful? Maybe a storage function where I can keep my item? It's so annoying to bring it on hand. Just putting me some weight." Sadly, the reality was always against him.
[You have Unlocked the Records Function. In this Function, your achievements will be recorded, and the achievements are divided based on their importance.]
He doesn't have time to react, as The God's Record continued, [You have received an achievement {FIRST KILL!}. Congratulations host for getting your first achievements. Achievements will be recorded in the Records Function.]
The silence enveloped them, as Clover was truly dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it. Couldn't God's Record give him at least once that could help him? Although he doesn't want to rely on God's Record too much, at least he wouldn't reject blessings.
"At least give me the storage function and I will be content with it!" Clover grumbled as he landed his body on the ground, gazing toward the skies.
A sigh came out of his mouth, as he could only rely on himself. Receiving a godlike system, he doesn't want it, anyway. He doesn't want to cheat; it was like: you win in the tournament since your father bribed the other time to admit defeat.
"So what should I do now?" As if answering his call, the ground trembles like an earthquake happening. The trees were wiggling like crazy, and some even fell sideways because the rootstock couldn't get a grip on the crust that was breaking from the constant quake.
It goes on for half a minute before it stopped. Thankfully, Clover, even feeling dead tired, has to move his body to the safer ground. None of the trees surrounding him didn't fall, since they were not at the epicenter.
"The direction of the center of the quake happened towards there," He mumbled, as his gaze landed on the southeast direction. Coincidentally, the river flow drifted towards the epicenter of the quake.
"I should go there. It's impossible for an earthquake to happen now, unless the sect that the God's talks about, create their infrastructure there."
Taking his exhausted body, he made back towards the tiger's corpse, and he took his weapon before deciding to rest in his place.
***
[God's Record Open.] Clover muttered.
He was resting on a branch of a tree not far away from the river. He always use the River as his comfort zone, since it was the only way he could have his necessities, to survive.

[Records:
Seeing some changes in the God's Record statistic, tears almost dropped on his eyelashes. What he had been through the past month flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel proud of himself that he didn't give up.
"Ah! system, please show me the Records Function." Other than the line of Records Function, who expanded which bury all the other functions. When Clover saw what was inside the Records function, it reminded him of the games he used to play.
They were similar to the Hall of Fame Functions. Like what the Game achievements show, it shows what he achieved with a badge appearance, with a ratio at the bottom, and at the top was the title. He saw the title of *First Kill!* at the upper part inside the bronze badge, while below the bronze badge was—a number slash number.
[Records: First Kill–1/3.]
"System, what is that bronze badge? Are the achievements divided by their Color? Like bronze, silver, gold, etc.? And the number below was the corresponding number needed to reach a Color badge?" Clover asked. As he was still lost in thought.
[…] The God's Record didn't answer, it was like it was asking if his host was still alright. Why would he need to ask an obvious question? And the question was already the answer itself.
Hearing no answer from God's Record, Clover didn't mind, as his mental capacity was already so large that he wouldn't feel embarrassed by this situation. His emotion rather, betrayed his thoughts, as his smile formed rather awkward.
He looked to the other empty spaces like there was still a space for another badge to form.
"So system, what is its use for? Don't tell me that it's only used for recording my achievements. And nothing else? If so then, this is basically useless." Clover complained.
[Host, one day, you will reach the peak and need to abandon this world. For that, you needed something to leave behind, and these achievements could be a memento to remember your greatness.] God's Record answered, causing Clover to feel relieved.
Who wouldn't want fame for a moment? If he abandon the world and decided to journey into the higher worlds, then it's normal for him to feel a little bit of success before he died.
"But then again, I can still not get over with this. Can you reward me a little bit? Just a lesser healing potion to heal this wound on my chest?" Clover glanced towards his chest, and when he touches it, he could feel that it was far from better.
[You already received the rewards, Host.] Although his voice was cold and indifferent, for Clover, it sounded so pleasant that his smile reached both of his ears.
"Really? How come I don't know that?" He was then observing the changes to his body and trying to find what rewards he received. He looked towards his weapon and maybe it was restored and upgraded, and then he looked towards his armpit, and maybe the hair was shaved.
Five minutes after, he still didn't know what rewards he received and he just now realized that he could ask over it.
"Then tell me, what are the rewards I received?" He emphasized it as 'rewards'. He was expecting that it was plural, and it means that he received many rewards.
[Self-Confidence, and experience to battle a Beast whose level is higher than you.] God's Record answered and washes the expectations of Clover.
Clover recovered rather quickly, as if he was just playing with God's Record. Of course, he also knew that this would happen, but he was so bored that he rides with a boring joke. Though he admitted that he was played a little bit, it was a reward after all. Who wouldn't want blessings?
"Ah! That's right! I just remembered that it was so strange for me to receive an achievement of *First kill!*. I killed many beasts in the past month, yet I just received this now. And I even thought that it was so easy to level the badge to Gold, but now it seems it's impossible." Clover was enlightened, and he continued to contemplate God's Record way of recording his achievements.
"It only recorded the beings I killed which rank higher than mine. I'm still not Rank 1 and that Tiger was Rank 1, and I killed it, and it must be the reason why it was acknowledged as the *First Kill!* Achievement." It was then that Clover was stupefied.
"Then does that mean, if I reached Rank 1? Then, I have to kill a Rank 2 humans or beasts, and God's Record would Record it? Damn it! I almost died from the battle of Rank 1 even though I was about to reach Rank 1, and yet!" Clover screeched, and he then continued with a sigh.
"I should stop worrying about it. It doesn't benefit me, anyway." Clover, being optimistic, didn't forget to make a justice statement.
God's Record then chipped in, [It's okay host, if your people saw your achievements with only a bronze badge, then they will be proud of you.]
