{Okay, since I already chose these three, then it will be easy to choose from the other ranks as well.} Samiel nodded his head.

{Let's first choose from the S ranks... Since I have the ring to protect my mind, I don't have to worry about mental resistance. So, I will discard the Mind Barrier skill. That leaves The Broken Sword of the Envious Swordsman and The Psychic Dagger of the Phantom Assassin.} Samiel analyzed his choices.

{And in order to make up for The Psychic dagger, I chose the psychic weapon creation skill. Although its effects aren't as strong as the item's, it has also its own useful features.} Samiel compared the pros and cons.

{I will choose The Broken Sword of the Envious Swordsman.} Samiel finally chose his S rank reward. {I want that hidden effect of it...}

__ _

< You have chosen the S-rank item below! >

[The Broken Sword of the Envious Swordsman - S rank, Item.]

{Good, now the next is SS rank.} His eyes fixated on the three SS rank rewards.

{Although I'm more of a mage-type Awakener... I have to give up on the staff...} He muttered inwardly.

{And between the robe and orb...}

{....}

{>_<}< p>

{I will give up on the Memory Orb.}

Samiel was sure he was making the right decision since had many things to back up his choice as well.

{I specifically chose the Mental Inventory Talent in order to cover for the loss of the Memory Orb. Although its grade is low, it is a talent and that alone is enough to pick this.} Samiel stated his thoughts.

As he willed for his final choice, the voice spoke once again.

< Ding! >

< You have chosen the SS-rank ability below! >

[The Ethereal Robe of the Forgotten Mind Monarch - SS rank, Ability.]

"Nya!" (Yes!)

{Finally, I'm done.} Samiel exclaimed in his mind.

< Ding! >

< You have chosen all of your rewards. >

< The World System hopes you will fulfill your duties as the Guardian. >

< Good luck on your journey. >

< We will meet on your real awakening! Till then... >

< Goodbye! >

"...Wah." (Goodbye.)

With the last words, the voice together with the windows disappeared both from his mind and sight.

{The real awakening, huh?} Samiel chuckled. {I am looking forward to that day.}

"Thud!"

Suddenly, with a loud voice, two things fell to the floor, startling baby Samiel.

"Wah!"

He struggled to turn his right side as he knew it was the sword and the ring that fell just now.

{Couldn't it directly place them on my Mental Inventory?} He grumbled inwardly.

< Ding! >

< Initiating the ability, skill, and talent implementation... >

"Wah?"

< 1% >

< 12% >

< 35% >

< 77% >

< 99% >

< Initiation complete! >

While the voice counted, Samiel's mind went blank for some time. Then new information started to appear in his mind. Honestly, it was the same feeling when he experienced learning his first mental ability. Soothing and refreshing.

After about five minutes, Samiel regained his total consciousness and returned to the real world.

And when he did, he realized he was still lying while looking above.

{Urgh… I still need to store those two.} He muttered inwardly as he remembered the sword and the ring were still on the floor.

After three minutes of countless struggles, he finally turned to his right side and was able to see the sword and the ring.

Just as he was about to marvel at their sight, something clicked in his mind.

{Oh, no! I need to hurry!} He thought.

{Store!} He willed as he intently looked at the items below.

However, nothing happened.

{Ah, right!} Then he enveloped both items with his mind power. {Store!}

In a split second, they vanished into thin air as if they were illusions.

{It worked!} Samiel laughed. "Wehe…"

"Brother!" suddenly the door opened making a loud noise, Samiel's brother, Somir ran to his bed shouting. "Let's sleep together tonight!"

{Here he comes again...}

"Young master, you will wake up the baby! Stop!" Behind him came a slightly older woman, running.

{Urgh... Why do I feel like I forgot something important.} Samiel's mind was assaulted by a sudden headache, but it disappeared soon after.
