[NO MONSTER LEFT TO KILL, SO THE TRAIL HAS BEEN FORCEFULLY COMPLETED.]

"Hmm, I guess that's what happens when you destroy the whole monster Kingdom before the time limit," Ren muttered as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Alright, everyone, the ranking should be updated pretty soon; don't register your name in the rankings system," Ren commanded. Everyone just nodded their heads, as even if he didn't tell them, they wouldn't have registered their names in the first place.
*****************************
[DING…]
[YOU HAVE ACQUIRED A TOTAL OF 304,000 KARMA FOR ALL THE MONSTERS YOU HAVE KILLED.]
[YOU HAVE ACQUIRED AN ADDITIONAL 200,000 KARMA FOR BEING THE FIRST TO KILL THIS MANY MONSTERS ON THE FIRST FLOOR.]
[YOUR RANKING IN THE TUTORIAL HAS BEEN UPDATED.]
[DO YOU WISH TO REGISTER YOUR NAME ON THE RANKINGS LIST?]
[YES] / [NO]
*****************************
"No!!!" Ren muttered and clicked the screen to decline registering his name. Then another message appeared in front of him.
*****************************
[REGISTRATION DENIED. YOUR RANK WILL BE SHOWN AS "UNKNOWN" IN THIS FLOOR RANKING. YOU CAN CHANGE THIS SETTING ANYTIME.]

"Oi, Moku, what's your rank?" Ren asked curiously as he raised his eyebrows a bit.
"I ranked 4th, Master," Moku replied, a bit disappointed by this result, as he thought this time he would rank higher than what he ranked on the tutorial floor. But sadly, his rank got worse than before for some reason.
"Master master!!! You didn't ask me. I ranked 2nd in the ranking list. Hehehe," Luna said in a cheerful tone, hoping to get praised.
"Haha, you did great," Ren complimented her and started to pat her head gently.
"Now who was it that ranked 3rd anyway?" Ren asked suddenly, his cheerful expression turned serious, as there is no way someone can rank higher than Moku from the group that decided to clear this floor. As both Ren and Luna had already killed most of the monsters here before they even got here, there is no way someone can score higher than them.
"It might be the other unknown beside you two," Nevare answered, still thinking if her answer was correct or not.
"Yeah, this might be it, but that person should have cleared this floor before us, since no one from this group can score more than my husband," Nevare again said, this time sure of her answer, and was proud that she got this so easily.
"Sigh…." As Ren was also about to agree, he heard a loud noise from the system that made him stop from what he was doing. Not only him but everyone who cleared this floor heard this noise.
*****************************
[DING…]
[YOUR REWARDS FOR CLEARING THIS FLOOR ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED BASED ON YOUR RANKING.]
*****************************
Suddenly, everyone's system screen turned black like there was nothing, and from the screen, a box fell to the ground.
"Oh, the additional Karma wasn't the reward, I see," Ren muttered and picked up the box he got. Like everyone, the size of the box was different for everyone, as Moku's box was the largest and, for some reason, Ren's box was the smallest.
"Master, look, what did I get?" Luna requested with a cheerful look and showed him the book she got from that box.
"Hmm, what is it?" Ren asked curiously since he can't tell what this book does actually.
With a quick nod, she opened that book and read out loud what's written there. "Martial art: Heavenly fist."
"Ohhh, it's a martial art book, use it well," Ren complimented cheerfully. As he was genuinely happy for her growth.
"Hehehe!!! Luna just giggled and hugged that book tightly as she really likes the attention she got from him.
"Ohh, it seems I got a new sword," Moku said as he showed them his new D(-) grade heavy sword he got from that box.
"Wow!! Such a cool sword, husband, I am sure as you use it you will get stronger, and look I also got a new wand!!" Nevare said as she showed him her new G+ rank Wand and hugged his huge arm with her boobs tightly. The scene was quite erotic, but both Ren and Luna completely ignored this couple and their acts.
"Hmm, now let's see what I got," Ren mumbled and opened his box; he was surprised to see there was nothing but an ordinary-looking purple-colored stone in that box.
"What kind of sick joke is this? Why did they give me just an ordinary-looking stone? I ranked first, for f*ck's sake," Ren cursed out loud; he was completely disappointed by the reward he just got.
"Don't worry, master; you can take mine if you want," Luna suggested, trying to comfort Ren as she thought he just got scammed by this system.
"Hah!!! Forget it; I will just store this stone for now and see if it's something useful," Ren replied and stored that stone inside his storage ring.
"Well, now this is done; let's go to the next floor," Ren said, trying to change the topic of the reward, as he still believed he just got scammed and it's not ideal to talk about it too much.
_______________
SECOND FLOOR - INSIDE A LUXURIOUS HOTEL ROOM - NOON
All Ren and his group can be seen sitting at a huge dining table and enjoying their meal happily.
"Master, you really are smart; if you hadn't ordered both me and Moku to hide under your shadow and then made yourself invisible, the members of those guilds would have caught us since there were very few people that cleared this floor this month; they would have surely caught us if we didn't hide pretty well," Luna said in a cheerful voice while also enjoying her meal.
"Yes, master!! But fortunately, Nevare's rank was low, or they would have suspected her to be the real unknown," Moku said as he picked up a steak from his plate and gulped it down in one bite. But Ren, on the other hand, completely ignored them and kept on eating his meal; he was still not over the fact that he just got scammed.
"Sigh, by now I already have over a million Karma points, so I should be able to unlock the system store, right?" Ren thought, and suddenly a screen appeared in front of him.

"Wow, I really did get the system store, and in the search bar, I can help me choose what I want, the price range, and their ranks. Great!!!" Ren exclaimed in joy as he started to explore this new system store function he got, trying to forget about today's event.
