Liam thought that knowing it was 9 seconds would allow him to finish the campaign. But he was so wrong. It took him a month to finish the last campaign. Yes Liam had finally finished the campaign. The ending was bitter sweet for Liam.
Fighting in the Titan didn't help Liam learn some new skills physically but it did allow him to learn time management in the mission. It was a horrible run for Liam with constant titans coming after him and also deal with Slone and Blisk. At the end BT sacrificed itself and Liam had to make a run to save himself.
It was a long process. But at the end Liam was finally able to complete the whole game.
[Congratulations on finishing your first game.]
"Yeah .. Yeah.. By death more a hundred times." Liam said as he mumbled under his breath on his bed. He had just finished the whole campaign and he felt sad. He had lost BT, his one and true helper.
But it was not the time for grief as he had known this would happen by the end. He wiped the non existent tears in his eyes and then asked the system for rewards.
[After completion of each game. You would be given three rewards. The quality of rewards range from D- to SSS level which is depending upon how you fared in the whole campaign]
"So what evaluation did I get this time?" Liam was excited as he was waiting for the reward.
[The evaluation is C-]
"You gotta be kidding me." Liam almost cursed instantly hearing that evaluation. He had died for a year everyday only to hear that he was C-. It was almost D. This was terrible.
[But since the host has entered the game world for the first time and didn't know any better. His rewards will be equivalent to A category.]
This made Liam almost jump in joy. When he heard of the evaluation he knew that he wouldn't be able to receive S class as he had been quite naive in the beginning. So having A class was already a win for him.
[The three rewards for the completion of the game Titanfall 2 are
1. A self rechargeable Pilot suit with all the the gears and abilities, and unlimited supply of Pulse Blade [ P.S. The host will be allowed to use one blade and only after the previous blade is destroyed or incapacitated would the next Pulse Blade will be supplied to the host ]
2. A fully functional Vanguard class Titan with rechargeable ammunitions for the missile launcher (once a day ) and a PR-01 Plasma Railgun with 20 rounds ( once a day )
3. A Hornet.
P.S. Along with this the host will be provided with 9x9 grid space where your Titan and aircraft Hornet had been placed. You can put it inside and pull it out of the space anytime you like it but regular items bigger or heavier than the host itself can't be placed inside the space. A single item could be stacked 99 times of the same item.

Liam was dumfounded. He had expected that the rewards would be good but he hadn't expected to be this good. The Hornet was aircraft fighter in the world of Titanfall 2. It was at least few generations ahead of the current fighters of US Airforce. It even had capabilities to fight and maneuver in space, much more stealthy and all in all a great fighter. It could even do a VTOL (Vertical take-off and Landing).
And the amazing part was the fact that Liam knew how to pilot this shit. When he started training, he came across one Hornet and since he was allowed to move around in the game freely at checkpoints, he learnt piloting this beast.
Now he was happy that he learnt it because at that time he learnt to pilot the Hornet was to make his mission easier and just kill his enemies. At the end he had give up the dream as he needed to do mission inside of structures where his plane couldn't go and sometimes finesse was more important for the mission.
Now he was thanking the stars that he learnt it. He asked more questions about the rewards and soon got to know that he wouldn't have to manually wear his pilot suit and the system would just place it upon his body.
Well at least the 'suit-up' wouldn't be embarrassing!
The 9x9 space was also quite useful for his everyday life. Since it was night he sneaked out of his window at night and went to a secluded place. He summoned his pilot suit and then started used all of the abilities given by the Pilot suit and was amazed to see that every gear worked and though he wasn't invincible in this suit, it at least allowed him to move side ways among humans.
That was a start. After playing around and getting a handle of his suit, he returned after an hour. Of course he had made sure that none of the cameras were able to capture him. He was an anomaly in this world and would need to hide his presence as much as possible.
At least till the SHIELD and SWORD is clean enough.
But he also knew that he wouldn't be able to use two of the rewards at the moment. In a few months he would leave for LA and there would be space enough to try out his rewards. Though he could do the same with the outskirts of the city but he would have to be away for a lot of time.
Plus, it was not like he was dying to use them. He had used and played with them in the game world. Thus he wasn't exactly dying to be united with long lost friend.
"System, when will the next game start?"
[Tomorrow]
"System do you have a name?"
[No]
"Why don't I give you one."
[Not required]
Liam was very happy and thus engaged in an one sided conversation with the system for no reason.
