'Life'

Ed stood there despondently before letting out a mental sigh. Back on track. He needed to get back on track.

'It's time to check the spoils of war…' Ed was a bit saddened at the thought of it. The loot had been damaged!

By none other than himself! He couldn't think of any other way to do so though. It wasn't like the adventurers would kindly strip before he impaled them.

'The earthen stakes won't spare the armor either' He grumbled at the injustice. At least until a message interrupted his ridiculous thoughts.

[Champion has met the conditions to level up, do you want to be recalled? Y/N]

'Or not the time for loot just yet…' Ed thought with a hint of surprise.

He hadn't expected a level up but realistically it wasn't all that farfetched. He managed to single-handedly eliminate a large party of adventurers. If that was taken into account alongside the previous battle in the orc fields then it all adds up.
