8 Chapter 8: You're still Behind

[Welcome host to have officially arrived in the first world .]

Sato Hikaru's memory was just a bit blurry since a long time had passed, it was not that he had lost his memory.

After the quarrel with Aqua, his original memory had recovered to some extent.

"Since Aqua was still in god's realm when he transmigrated, then he should have arrived here before Sato Kazuma, it's just that how early had I arrived? A few days? Years? Or even decades?"

Looking at the system tasks, Sato Hikaru wished to obtain some sort of clue.

[World final task: Defeat The Demon King]

[Optional task 1: Defeat Demon King's Army General]

[Optional task 2: Become A Hero]

[Optional task 3: Become The Lord Of Axel]

[Optional task 4: Settle Down In The Current World]

[Optional task 5…]

Unfortunately, other than the final mission on the main plotline, although the system provided numerous optional tasks.

But these tasks were more like for Sato Hikaru to achieve certain achievements, become famous in this world, or integrate into this world.

As for the characters in the original works, not a single one of them was there.

"However, it was not incomprehensible, for the system and the world, the most important thing is the general trend of history, as for the person who achieved the trend, although important, is not that critical."

Important because the one who can drive the trend of the world would definitely be someone extremely outstanding and strong.

Not critical because even if these 'protagonists' were replaced, it was not a problem for the world.

Even Sato Hikaru had some doubts whether the so-called "original plot" was important to the world.

Didn't you see that in a certain type-moon world, a world-line was destroyed at every turn? In the end, Gaia and Alaya would just cut-off the world line without considering how to prevent the world from being destroyed.

Thus, how important the so-called 'original plot', in the macro-view of the world, was still a question.

However, for Sato Hikaru who had just started his journey, these things were just too far away, so he just thought about it for a bit.

For the current Sato Hikaru, the rewards for completing the tutorial were still more important.

Previously, he had been continuously bothered by Aqua, and so did not have the time to check them.

Since he had not arrived at the guild, he better took the opportunity to check what treasures would come out of those boxes.

'Open newbie gift pack.'

[Newbie gift pack opened]

[Congratulation host for obtaining: 100,000 eris, one novice iron sword, one set of novice leather armor (includes helmet, armor, pants and shoes)]

"Hm? Did something wrong happen?"

Looking at the pile of eris coins, and the set of plain looking novice suits in the system space, Sato Hikaru was a little dumbfounded.

"The rewards during the tutorial were already artifacts that can subdue gods, how come the tutorial completion reward gift pack was such trash?

[Because the newbie gift pack is meant to help the host integrate more easily after transmigration, of course there would not be anything good in it.]

"So it is that kind of 'newbie' gift pack."

Sato Hikaru's eyelids twitched as he heard the explanation.

But if he considered carefully, if he had not been so outrageous to directly snatch Aqua and a stack of cheats.

For an ordinary newbie who only had one cheat, compared to currently unusable artifacts, these basic materials were much more useful.

"Nevermind."

Sato Hikaru, who had felt that he had raised his expectation in vain, waved his hand and said: "In that case, let's open the remaining five boxes. There won't be anything good in it anyway"

[Luxury box *5 opened]

[Congratulations host for obtaining: EX-ranked Golden Rule]

[Congratulations host for obtaining: Protection From Arrows]

[Congratulations host for obtaining: Knight of Owner: A Knight Does Not Die with Empty Hands]

[Congratulations host for obtaining: Blue-eyes White Dragon]

[Congratulations host for obtaining: Sword Of Promised Victory (Excalibur)]

Sato Hikaru: ???

"A Jackpot!?"

He stared in astonishment at the pile of shiny golden skills, equipment and …was that a card from Yu-gi-oh? A summon?

"Let's first ignore the wife that cost 87 million that was mixed in it…"

Sato Hikaru confusedly asked the system: "Why do the rest of the items come from type-moon? Is there any special reason?"

[The contents of the box are completely random; this kind of situation is purely coincidence. By the way, the protection from arrow skill is actually from Re:Zero]

"Hm? Reinhard?"

Seeing the information from the system, Sato Hikaru raised his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, if I sign all the contracts that I took from Aqua, would I be as good as the fully-protected Reinhard?"

[It's different, that person can change according to the situation. You are still far behind.]

Sato Hikaru: …

"Although it is a fact, it is still a bit hurtful when you are so direct…"
