Subsequently, when the system announcement spread all over the world, everybody in the continent was in an uproar. Nobody knew who the player was but when the Hall of Fame appeared on their records, they found the name, Unstoppable Force. Every guild dispatched their best assassins to investigate this matter. They wanted to recruit this player to their guild at all costs.
"White Mistress, dispatch the investigatory team and find out everything about this player."
"Right on it Duke, Sword Limit."
A man covered in silvery white armor ordered a beautiful female who was wearing a purple witch garment.
"Sect Leader, Bladed Yin, we've already dispatched our best informant to look over this player, rest assured that this player will become a part of our sect."
"Very good."
The man replied as he continued to meditate on his private training ground as dazzling swords revolved around him.
"Guild Leader, Snow Fall, our team has already ordered its best experts to track this mysterious player. Since we are the overlord of Golden Lake City, we'll find this player much faster than the other guilds."
"Very well, we can't miss such a promising rookie."
A beautiful female responded who was wearing body armor while she had in her hand a two-handed golden great axe.
"Someone was able to solo a hell dungeon huh? It even defeated a mutated berserked boss monster at that. It seems like the game is gonna be more interesting in the future."
An enigmatic man grinned reading the system announcement on his panel.
"Heavenly Demon, Jin Mu Won, should we also dispatch our team of experts to find this player and get him to join the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
"No need, we are located in the Easternmost part of the continent, we'll be too late to find him. Plus, we have a bad reputation in the Springfield Kingdom, it's not time for us to go into a war with those guilds but if fate wants it so, we will meet this player, maybe not now but in the future."
Almost every Super Guild and sects were in an uproar due to this player. The player was a goose who lays dozen golden eggs in an instant, it would be a waste if a player wasn't supported by their guilds. Some were in shock, some were envious and some were in awe of admiration. One player managed to shake the entire continent even those old monsters from above could not help but notice this variable. Evolved Players had also taken notice of this small player despite living in a different realm (Literally).
-----------------
After depleting his stock of lesser healing potions, he was finally able to move without his body aching. This had been the first time that Kaya had gone all out. He had been so induced to the fight that he forgot the variable called pain existed in this world, although not as realistic as in reality. Being shot by a bullet inside the game feels like being shot by a pellet gun but it was entirely different from getting beheaded. When his head fell, he could feel his consciousness from his fallen head disappear, and in an instant, returns right back to his body. It felt so weird and gritty that he still had yet got the hang of that feeling despite losing his head multiple times. Maybe in the future, he had to do that again but for now, he'll try to avoid repeating it as much as possible.
After examining the notification in his interface, he first checked the titles and achievements that were granted to him.

[+100 Status points to the main attributes]
"..!"
His eyes widened after seeing the rewards and titles he gained. He was able to earn 300 status points in one go which was equivalent to 60 levels! And the fact that he was still level 50 after gaining 20 levels made it more amazing! His titles were also quite amazing in themselves! With such titles, he could contend with any foe 2 ranks higher than him. He knew that what he had done was great but he wasn't expecting it to be this rewarding. He'd already be satisfied with just this but he still has a lot more rewards to check including the loot drops he obtained and after Barog's body disappeared, there were three chests in front of the broken throne. But for now, he wanted to check his gains first.
[Tome Enchant
Type: Consumable
-Increases the tier of a skill by 1.
-Cannot be applied to skills that are higher than tier 3]
"...!"
Although the item's description was brief and straightforward, it was enough to shock Kaya.
'What skill should I choose to upgrade? I can choose from either Monster Eater or Weapon Enthusiast.'
Both the two passive skills had been quite of help for Kaya. The Monster Eater help him gain more attributes and speed from consuming monster meat and the Weapon Enthusiast allowed him to wield any material as a makeshift weapon. He could increase the Monster Eater's proficiency by eating various types of monster meat while he could increase Weapon Enthusiast's proficiency by using a variety of materials in battle. After thinking about it, he decided to upgrade Weapon Enthusiast.
'In the end, Weapon Enthusiast is the choice. The fact that the system has already minimized my chances of gaining weapons and it's not like I could eat all the monsters I'll encounter, there are a lot of inedible monsters out there like those monsters called Golems and undead monsters. Weapon Enthusiast is too important for me.'
Ting~
[Tome Enchant has enhanced Weapon Enthusiast's tier by 1!]
Ting~

'Not only did the skill's name change, but its effects have also changed too.'
Kaya was satisfied with the upgrade of the skill. He then checked the last item reward.

'This is the first time I've heard of a Fabled rank, I thought Legendary was the highest ranked item a player could obtain. I don't know if this is higher or lower than the legendary rank but its effects are top-tier! It has infinite durability, and even ignores 20 levels from the opponent! It even allows me to modify my physical characteristics and information! To think such an item exists!'
Beelzebub's Mask was a greyish dark mask that had a rocky texture and its design was like a demon grinning eerily (Think of Ichigo's mask except rougher and black) (No offense). Kaya didn't hesitate to equip the mask. When he tried using its effects, he was amazed, although it didn't change his overall attribute, not only was he able to modify his appearance and information, but he could also adjust the aura he could emanate from his body. When he equipped it, he could choose to show the mask or turn it completely invisible so that when he tried to touch the mask, he could only touch his face as if the mask wasn't there.
After checking out the mask's properties, he check all the item rewards he gained. After checking each one, he felt mixed emotions after he was done.
'I gained some stupidly powerful items but why the fuck did I not gain a single weapon!? Even just weapons for the mage or support class didn't drop! I did not fucking gain anything!'
"Fuck this game!"
He started throwing a tantrum and kicked a giant rock toward the walls of the cave which completely obliterated it and calmed down after the entire cave shook.
Ting~
[Dungeon will now be closed, please leave in 10 minutes. If you are not able to leave in the specified time, you will be forcefully logged out of the game and you'll lose 2 levels and 5 random pieces of equipment.]
"Shit, let's check the most important ones first."
Kaya quickly retrieved three keys. A Silver Key, A Gold Key, and An Obsidian Key. He went to unlock The silver treasure chest first.
Clink!
[You have obtained 5 Gold coins!]
[Wind Stone has been obtained]
[ Magic crystals (Material) have been obtained x100]
[Magi's Tusk (Material) has been obtained]
[Great Antidote (Potion) has been obtained x5]
Those were the only rewards he obtained, he didn't care less about it and checked the next chest, the Gold Treasure Chest.
Ting~
[You have obtained 50 gold coins!]
[Fire Stone has been obtained]
[Magic crystals have been obtained x500]
[Intermediate Strength potion recipe (Alchemy Recipe) has been obtained]
[Silver Plaque (Plaque) has been obtained]
[Holy Hand Grenade (Throwable) has been obtained]
He also didn't gain an item from this chest which furthermore infuriated him but he did gain a Silver Plaque which was useful for entering restricted areas like exclusive buildings and locations also the Holy Hand Grenade was one of the most powerful throwables anyone could obtain due to its firepower. One Holy Hand Grenade was enough to decimate an entire crowd of tier 1 chieftan-ranked monsters or gravely injure a Lord Boss Monster.
He proceeded to open the final chest.
Clink!
Ting~
[You have obtained 500 gold coins]
[Blood Stone (Special) has been obtained]
[Mana Crystals (Currency) have been obtained x10]
[Storage Ring (Tier 1 Epic) has been obtained]
[Stephano (Tier 1 Unique) has been obtained]
[Goddess Tear (Potion) has been obtained]
'Oh now, I got items but still not a single fucking weapon!?'
Kaya couldn't handle it anymore, he wanted to just burst out in anger but calmed himself down to check each of the item's information.
Ting~

[Goddess Tear
Type: Potion
Upon consumption, heals all injuries and complications from the body. Permanently gives 1 Holy Element.]
Upon reading the item's information, his anger quickly subsided into happiness. Kaya needed the Storage Ring badly because of how full his inventory had been. He immediately equipped the ring and stored all the items on the ground that had piled up into a miniature hill and arranged the items in his inventory by putting the most needed items in his spatial inventory and the latter in the storage ring.
Stephano was the God of Luck in this game's mythology. Luck was an attribute responsible for the increase in percentage and chances. With an increase in luck, you could have higher chances of dropping high-tiered items or obtaining hidden quests. It also increases the chances of triggering Critical Strike which in itself was a probability of happening and has an increase in percentage when hit in a weak point but it is still uncertain if one could trigger Critical Strike even if they managed to hit a weak point or even tore the body of the target into two. That was how important Critical Strike was because one chance of triggering Critical Strike could completely change the outcome of a battle.
It was said that Stephano was a mortal who was very lucky but his life had been a curse because he was fed up with always having his way of getting anything he wanted. He lost the thrill in his life due to his luck that he had tried committing suicide but not once did it work. He was so lucky that he outlived 5 generations because he had a very powerful constitution despite having to only laze around. He garnered so many treasures that he'd give this to the people to order them to kill him but everyone always failed. Even when he died of old age, his body was so healthy that his appearance refused to grow old and remained his youthful look. When he ascended to heaven, he was accidentally picked to become a candidate to become a God, and in no surprise, among tens of billions of soul candidates, he was the one who became a God.
That was the reason why his statues and paintings show his appearance as a depressed young man that had lost all faith in the world. Just like the golden figurine in his hand, it showed Stephano with his dead-pan looks and long luscious hair.
The skills of the figurine were very amazing and other than it's the condition that he had to hold it in one hand to activate these skills, he could place it in his spatial inventory and would still apply the increase in luck.
Lastly, the Goddess Tear was simply out of this world. It could save anyone from dying.
"If only I had obtained this sooner, I wouldn't have chosen to kill that woman and gave her this Goddess Tear, then I could've brought her back to her family."
After remembering the woman, he recalled the quest and the amulet.
'I think it's time for me to get out of this dungeon.'
"Alon....."
When he heard the soft voice echo in his ear, he looked at Marielle who had turned considerably pale.
"Marielle!"
Kaya instantly arrived at her and carried her on his arm, when he saw her character information, he was given a shock.
Ting~
[Marielle de Arc (2)] [Noble NPC]
Level: 34
HP: 87/3,000,000
Status: Critically Injured, Gravely Weakened, Mana Deviated]
'Shit! Because she forced herself to activate such a powerful spell, she's now under this horrible state.'
Her body was filled with wounds and bruises and her skin had turned as pale as snow. If he doesn't do anything to help her, she would most likely die.
'I don't have a choice.'
Kaya retrieved the Goddess Tear from his inventory and opened the glass vial. Immediately as soon as he opened it, a very fragrant and comfortable essence sipped out from the vial. Without hesitation, he poured its water-like contents on her dry mouth.
After drinking the whole contents of the vial, her complexion quickly brightened and returned from its natural glow. All the wounds and bruises on her body disappeared which showed her milky white skin and her health filling up back including her Mana that was radiating around her body that Kaya couldn't help but shudder from such an abundant Mana.
'This girl might be a special NPC!'
It is said that only those NPC who radiate a terrifying amount of Mana from their body were special types of NPC. If a player was able to get close to this NPC they would be granted immeasurable amounts of wealth and power so every player would be contesting to accept any quest that may increase their affinity to these NPCs.
As soon as she had returned from her lively looks. Her thick eyelashes blinked and her eyelids slowly open revealing the previous dead pupil to its vibrant blue color.
"Alon? Where you able to defeat him?"
"Yes."
Kaya then showed her the purple locket in his hands and placed it on her neck. Tears fell in her eyes overjoyed knowing that she could yet again feel the delicate embrace of her mother from the locket on her neck.
"Thank you so much..."
Ting~
[You have completed the Quest!]
[You have been rewarded!]
[Level Up!]
[Level Up!]
[Marielle de Arc's affinity has increased by 90! Your relationship status has changed from Love Interest to Lover]
"Alon....will you be my significant other?"
Ting~
[Do you wish to become Marielle de Arc's boyfriend? If you accept, you will be allowed to enter the territory of de Arc freely and enter their household. You will also receive a hidden quest that allows you to increase of affinity with Marielle de Arc's family and once you complete these quests, you will earn exclusive features from the game.]
Her face flushed red as she spoke those words. She was afraid that she might get rejected so Kaya wiped her tears from her eyes with his finger and smiled.
"Of course! I'll be your boyfriend."
Kaya said in a calm tone. He wouldn't waste such an opportunity to get close to her family of high nobles. Although he did not know much about the de Arc's background, from the Mana that Marielle radiated alone, it was unlikely that she didn't came from a powerful background plus if he was able to complete the quest, he could unlock the hidden features which most likely include intimacy (He means sex mode).
Ting~
[Marielle de Arc(2)] [Noble NPC]
Level: 34
HP: 3,000,000/3,000,000
MP: 400,000/400,000
Status: Embarrassed, Overjoyed
Relationship: Lovers (100%)
Affinity: 90]
She covered her big bosoms and shaved privates due to embarrassment. Kaya who saw her face reddened immediately pulled out fabric-type body armor from his inventory and equipped it to Marielle. Her beautiful curvaceous body could be seen from the armor she was wearing. Now she looked like a War Goddess.
"You look beautiful."
"Really? Thank you."
She blushed from the compliment and immediately hugged Kaya who in return embraced her.
"Let's go back home."
"Yeah, let's go home."
Kaya carried her delicate body back in his arms as Marielle continued to embrace him. With a speed faster than sound, he arrived right at the exit of the dungeon in an instant.
