A reward befitting of his achievement

[System: You have an unclaimed reward for reaching level 30 in a matter of 3 weeks, do you want to claim your reward?]

"Open," As soon as he hears this notification he quickly changes his focus to the message that notified him of his achievements. Why was he so focused on this single achievement even though he didn't care less when he did the others?

The fact that this was an achievement that broke the record along with being the shortest length in every record. He anticipated that he'll receive a skill that'll be higher and more importantly stronger than an F-grade skill

[System: Calculating the achievement from the other similar achievement and its record

Calculation: The guardian has gained the title: [Overkill] a title that only a few could attain due to its extreme difficulty. Requirements for this were to accomplish something out of the ordinary, however, this isn't the guardian's real title

Rewards: The guardian has acquired the title: [Speed runner] a title that'll triple a guardian's gathered experience. Because the guardian gained the title [Overkill] the skill reward you'll gain will be enhanced, instead of a powerful skill starting in F-grade. The guardian will gain the skill in S-grade for the reason being [Overkill] is a limited title for a select few]

'Overkill? I've never heard that title ever since I overdosed myself with a ton of stims, when did I get that title? Was it my first encounter with a catastrophe or the time when I wasn't even known for my achievement? Maybe it was the time when I was dubbed the Wandering pharmacist? In any case, I didn't think I'll find myself acquiring this limited title that's too hard to achieve. It must have been fate that I was bestowed upon this title once more. Seeing as I single-handedly defeated an abnormal, this reward isn't even enough for the likes of myself,'

'What should I choose? Nothing is missing from my current skills and the only thing I wanted to acquire is now in my possession. Unparalleled alchemical knowledge was already a skill that I wanted to acquire no matter how long it'll take. But due to that mysterious title, I acquired "Defier of fate" I don't have any skills that I need. How about I take a skill to further enhance my growth, I need to choose that skill no matter what,'

[System: You've chosen the Growth-based skill category. The guardian will now be given a variety of S-grade skills for you to choose from... You've confirmed the chosen skill, please wait for a few seconds, the system will now update your status screen]

[Skill mastery boost: A growth-based skill that enhances the skill learning progression, apart from that it can double the amount of proficiency in a skill. This allows the guardian's skill to easily grow from one grade to another since its grade is higher than its original. Instead of doubling the progression rate of the skills you currently possess, it will quadruple its progression. Skills that the guardian wishes to learn will be easily understood and the information would freely flow inside the body, overall: S-]

'I think it's time to leave this area, I've already skinned the abnormal for all of its materials, I'll check them once im back in my cave. For the time being, I need to revisit a monumental piece of land. The place where I shattered the orb of catastrophe and maybe find a few clues about this shard,'

[???: A shard of unknown origins, it was said to be inside the orb of the catastrophe which was said to be the core

Item: Accessory

Rarity:???

Ability: It has a mysterious power to enhance and mutate a variety of different monsters and completely empower their vessel]

After he finishes his objective, this human variant seeks to return to his cave which took him a few hours with his speed. The monsters within the forest of illusion had returned to their rightful place after he purge the abnormal. The balance in the territories was back to its former glory and the monsters that disappeared had returned to their habitat

Whilst these monsters were glad to return to their rightful homes, Neon was filled with nothing but questions. Questions about the orb of catastrophe, how it came to the imp's possession, and why was the remnant of these dangerous artifacts remains weren't discovered. For him who knows about the dangers of this artifact and the threat, it would bring upon the world? Neon was skeptical about the survival of this downgraded artifact of mass destruction. Once again he enters the deepest part of the cave where he rid of the world from this horrific artifact

'It's too narrow, there's not a lot of air for a living being to live inside the depths of this cave. The monster that possesses the orb of catastrophe was rather a pain to be dealt. It was agile and its movement was almost at a level that even I could praise it was unpredictable. I used this cave as a means of it being durable to hold that spineless bastard so I could strike the final blow. It seems that my assumptions were correct, this... These pieces of hard and durable shards! This must be the shell of the orb of catastrophe,'

The shells he found had the same pattern that originated from the sharpness of his sword and the intent of his technique. From the first time he gazes at the shell, nothing was out of the ordinary, until he remembers a peculiar occurrence. In his memories, he remembered that it uncontrollably starts flickering, he thought it was the dispersion. But if he places the unwanted variable which was the shard in his possession he was able to think of a logical conclusion

"I remember a certain occurrence that only happens a few times when a teleportation skill was to be forcefully activated. They'll start to gain a flickering sequence that grows brighter than before, it'll do this sequence until it finally occurs. If I were to add that my body was at its breaking point in that fight, I wouldn't be able to think like my usual self," Not long after he notices the shard shakes when it touches the surface of his body

In response to this peculiar reaction, he can feel that his body is being influenced by the shard, he can feel its power. Not only was his body, he can feel that the body parts belonged to the past catastrophic grade monsters. It cries out, whilst Neon had a feeling that his body was telling him to consume this mysterious shard

"What was that!!?" Neon heard a loud bang that came from an area near his cave, which result in his body exiting the trance created by the shard. Shortly after he hears a scream that belonged to a person, it was quite a weird and suspicious occurrence. He remembers the dark forest was manifested in the amazon rainforest, a place where it was abandoned by the guardians. Even though it was a place filled with an abundance of monsters and high-grade herbs

They abandoned this place for the reason of being one of the most nightmarish lands to ever had manifested to the world. This place was said to be a place completely isolated from the world due to its nature mutated nature

The greenery was deadly, the monsters were downright designed for the death of those who tries to invade. Not only was it the home of the most deadly beast to ever have set foot in the world, but it also houses a ton of life-threatening diseases. The only reason why the guardians were able to set foot on this land was the medication and drugs created by Neon himself

"Is there truly a guardian that sets foot in this land? I wonder what kind of people they are to casually throw their lives, in any case, I need to confirm it for myself. I need to know if these guardians would be a problem or a person who'll become my ally. All in all, I need to weed out any kind of annoyance to my goal," As soon as he concludes his investigation, he sets off to learn about the cause of that loud explosion
