Looking at the phone in his hand, Eirik smashed it hard on the wall in order to relieve his anger. After all, this phone isn't useful to him anymore.
He didn't care that this phone was the prison doctor's own possession. Any people that work for his uncle are his enemies.
"Just a few more days... A few more days and I can get out of here."
The only thing that was preventing from going insane in this prison, the trial that he will be facing in a few days. He only hoped for the best when the trial happened.
When sleepiness overtook him, Eirik sat down in his usual place and closed his eyes.
As he closed his eyes, what Eirik was expecting was total darkness. However...
He finds himself back in the Trial Space lying on the mountain of gold. This was how the Trial Space looked like before his nosy mouth changed everything.
"What the heck? Why am I back here?"
Before he could process what was happening, the familiar electronic voice reached his ears.
[Trial for the last one standing:
Get the jackpot before you fall to your death.
Unfinished]
"Unfinished? Didn't I get the jackpot?"
[An error occurred. The trial for the last one standing will resume when the error is fixed. Please stand by.
Time remaining for the trial: 30 days left.]
"I need to undergo another trial again? What the heck! Isn't the trial supposed to happen only once?"
[An error occurred. The trial for the last one standing will resume when the error is fixed. Please stand by.
Time remaining for the trial: 30 days left.]
However, rather than getting an answer for his question the mechanical voice just repeated its words.
Having nothing to do while being surrounded by gold coins, Eirik decided to just lay down. After all, a chance of lying on a mountain of gold was very rare. Especially for a poor humble man like him.
"So for the next 30 days, my night will be laying on a mountain of gold huh?"
Eirik took a coin and looked at it closer.
"Let's see... Extra Ordinary..."
Reading those words, Eirik was confused. If those two words are combined to form just one word, it has a completely different meaning.
Extraordinary means going above and beyond what is expected. But the Extra Ordinary let him just be slightly above than ordinary.
"If this was just one word, everything would have been different..."
As soon as those words left his mouth, something appeared in front of him.
[An Extra Ordinary is Extraordinary (Life Quest)
The lifelong goal of an Extra Ordinary is to go beyond and be the only Extraordinary.]
"Another quest? This system is burying me with this quest. But how come this one doesn't have a reward or a penalty?"
Not receiving any answer, Eirik just let it be. He could always look for the answer in the future.
Getting bored of doing nothing in this place, Eirik decided to just sleep. Even if his physical body was sleeping, he still needs his brain to rest.
Closing his eyes, the total darkness finally occupied his sights.
***
Waking up to the voice of the Warden, Eirik went and get his breakfast.
After eating, he thought of what happened last night. He was back at that white space even after he finished by getting a jackpot—as he thought—but it turns out that was just his own assumption.
"Wait... If the trial will restart once again after 30 days, that means I will be relibibg the same nightmare again!"
What happened during the trial was traumatic. It was different to the other people he awakened with. They were able to get their own Class and Trait just by spinning the roulette, meanwhile he needed to bet his life for it.
"But I still have a month to prepare for the trial again... Wait!"
While thinking on how he should prepare for the trial, he recalled his Status Window.
Because of the Sudden Quest he received back when he was a goalkeeper, his status increased in order to be slightly above than ordinary goalkeepers.
Navigating his System Window to his Status Window, he soon found out that what he was hoping for was correct.
Even after he was done with the quest, his Status Window remained and didn't change back to what it was before.
[Status Window:
Name: Eirik Grimhawk
Age: 20
Class: System Class (S-Class)
Trait: EXTRA + Ordinary (System Class) Level 1

...]
"If my status window stays the same even after completing a quest, should I take advantage of this loophole?"
Finding a loophole that can change his perception of his Trait, Eirik hopes for the best. However, looking for a chance to trigger another Sudden Quest that could help him increase his status was difficult.
After all, each of the quests will be different from each other.
"This will really depend on my luck..."
Resigning on his fate, Eirik put his hands on his pocket.
However, when his hands reached the deepest part of his pocket, there seemed to be something hard and cold in his pocket.
If he remembered correctly, his pocket should have been empty when he slept last night, but now there was something on it.
Taking it out from his pocket, he took the thing below the only source of light he could get on his cell.
When he was gauging what it was through his sense of touch, he had a hunch that it would be a coin.
However, he didn't know what kind of coin it would be.
When the light finally fell on the coin, happiness overtook him. The coin in his hand was the same gold coin from the trial space.
"F*ck, this is the real jackpot!"
