As Jin Hwa stood in the nearly empty street, his body trembling with exhaustion, he decided to check the system status. With a thought, the familiar interface appeared before him, offering him the rewards he had earned.
**[System Status]**
**[Rewards for Sub Quest: Defeat the CENTAUR]**
**- Recovery Potion (Common)**
**- Random Box (EPIC)**
**- Skill Rune (Sloth Sin - Master's Lethargy)**
His choice was clear. He selected the first reward, the **Recovery Potion**, which promptly began to work its magic. The aches and injuries he had accumulated from the intense battle with the CENTAUR gradually faded, replaced with a renewed sense of vigor.
Next, he turned his attention to the **Random Box**. As he opened it, a brilliant light emanated from within. When the light subsided, Jin Hwa found himself holding a weapon—a **glaive** with a unique design. It was a polearm, not too long and not too short, with intricate engravings. Its rank was **EPIC**, signifying its exceptional quality.
Finally, he obtained the **Skill Rune** associated with the sin of sloth, named **Master's Lethargy**. This formidable skill bestowed upon him the power to manipulate the concept of sloth, granting control over time's flow. By speaking the activation phrase, "Slumber," he could slow down his surroundings for 5 second and have a cooldown of 1 hour, effectively enhancing his speed and responsiveness during battles.
With his newly acquired rewards, Jin Hwa felt a renewed sense of determination.
And he was ready to face whatever challenges came his way.
