Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Journey Through the Serene Plane: A Tale of Quests and Professions

While Atlas was engaged in the second part of the quest, Jared had received all the necessary items his companion pets needed, and all other resources that might be of assistance later was gathered.

He stood in the meadow, feeling a bit melancholic. His journey started in this plane, and he had gained a lot of benefits. He hoped one day he would be able to return to the plane where he got his companion pets.

He then used a scroll that was placed in his storage space to exit the Serene Plane. He looked around one last time, tore the scroll, and disappeared until we met again. He is now level 10 and has transported to one of the major neutral cities in the main game world.

While he was in the Serene Plane, the players heard an announcement, "Congratulations, Maslow's Law, for being the first to the complete a unique profession quest."

Many of the players were shocked by that and thought, it has only been 12 hours in-game time, and someone had already gotten a unique profession. How did they do it?

Many of the legends wondered how they had gained the chance to receive a unique profession. Unknown to them, there were many professions in the list that were unique, and you will only know if you had selected a unique profession once you had reached the game.

The best players were only at level 8. As Maslow's Law's feet touched the ground in the major city, Louisiana, another announcement is made, "Congratulation to Maslow's Law for being the first to reach level 10."

It was announced three times. Afterwards, another announcement sounded, "Congratulations to Maslow's Law for being the first to reach a main city."

That announcement also repeated three times. Maslow's Law was both surprised and not surprised. He knew from his gaming career back on Earth that usually an announcement was made for the first player to reach level 10 and first player to reach the main city.

He was just surprised that he was the first player to accomplish it, thinking that someone must have reached level 10 already. A few notifications sounded on his status. He received rewards for being the first player to reach level 10 and the main city.

Another announcement sounded at that time, "Congratulations Maslow's Law for being the first to acquire a companion pet."

Another ding sound announced a notification on his system about his reward for being the first to acquire a companion pet. 

His rewards for being First to Reach Level 10 were:

[Trailblazer: A unique title that displays next to the player's name, signifying their achievement to all other players.]

[Exclusive Cosmetic Item: A special aura or glow effect that can be activated around the player's character, making them stand out in crowds.]

[Early Access to Content: Unlock a special questline or district in the city that is only available to the player for a limited time before it opens to others.]

[High-Value Mount: A unique mount that is faster or has special features not available to other players at this stage of the game.]

Rewards for First to Own a Companion Pet

[Master Trainer's Gear: Equip your companion pet with exclusive armor or accessories that boost its abilities.]

[Pet Training Manual: A book that when used decreases the time required for training or evolving the pet.]

[Unique Pet Ability: The pet gains a unique skill or ability that no other pets have]

He received an additional reward:

[Achievement Badge: A collection unique item that can unlock further rewards or status.]

Maslow's Law thought the Pet Training Manual: [The Trainer's Grimoire] was obsolete since he had the holographic Master of All Library in his soul sphere that can provide him with all information required.

He checked the High-Value Mount card and saw he received a Dragonhawk.
