Chapter 4: Beginner Gift Package

As a result, separate Federations were established through agreements among each country's leaders, dedicated exclusively to overseeing the 'Players,' 'Dungeons,' 'Towers,' and magical-related events.

These Federations also ushered in a new educational system, with schools now categorized 'Class' as 'Nursery to Xth' and 'Intermediate 'as 'XIth to XIIth.'

Special events await Intermediate students, and those who meet specific requirements will have the opportunity to attend the finest Federation Colleges.

The Federations also enacted a set of rules that have been faithfully followed for centuries.

..

All of these are the 'Summary of Mine and the Novel World.'

But what they don't know is that an 'EX-grade Dungeon' will descend on this Blue Star in 10 years after the 'Protagonist' returns.

The 'EX-grade Dungeon' holds a very crucial secret, one that will aid in the descent of 'Cthulhu' onto this Blue Star and unleash havoc upon it.

I control my rapid breathing and calm my mind, deeply reminiscing about the events that are about to unfold.

Suddenly, I get a clue that the 'Return as the Strongest Player' novel's plot will start at Federation College.

According to the present timeline, Su Yanran and Wang Feng are currently studying in Class Xth, which means I'm currently living three years before the 'Novel Timeline' starts.

I breathe calmly and think that three years are enough for me to prepare for everything. All the memories related to the stuff that were bothering me are now over.

I decided to move toward the next event that was bothering me, which is the 'EX-grade Talent.'

I call the 'World System' in my mind, and a 'Panel' appears before my eyes.

[World System]

[Status Panel]

Name: Sam Carey

Health Points: 400 (20 times of Const)

Mana Points: 360 (20 times of Int.)

Rank: F

Profession/s: Necromancer

– STATS:

Strength: 15/40

Constitution: 20/40

Intelligence: 18/80

Spirit: 19/80

– Talent: Copy [Incomplete EX]

– Skills: ???

– Trait: ???

– Authority: Summon [0/5]

I watch my stats and am satisfied with the 2-times increase in Intelligence and Spirit. Every stat limit will be 40 in F rank, but after gaining a 'Profession,' a certain stat limit will be increased 2 times as 'Profession' respectively.

I lower my eyes and see a 'Talent: Copy [incomplete EX-grade]' column.

"What the hell is going on with my 'Talent' grade?" I wonder.

"Incomplete grade! I have never heard of it in my life." I calm down and think that maybe I didn't properly check my 'Talent' previously because I was busy thinking about all the unfolding events during 'Talent Awakening.'

I have the memories of many novels where 'EX-grade' was the highest rank, and incomplete words put me in trouble.

I decided to skip the 'incomplete' word, because no matter what, the grade of 'EX' is higher than 'SSS+.'

I move toward the third event of 'Invitation of another System bind' that prompted in my mind.

[Supreme Exchange System]

[Ding...]

[The host has reached an eligible age to bind the Supreme Exchange System.]

[Do you want to bind?]

[Yes/No]

After seeing these prompts, I mentally respond with 'Yes.'

[Supreme Exchange System is binding with the host]

[Binding 1%... 40%... 80%... 100%]

[Supreme Exchange System is bound with the host.]

"System, show me your panel," I ask.

[Ok]

[Supreme Exchange System]

Status:

Net Worth: 500 billion [1000$ - 1 E.P.]

System Mall:

Inventory: Beginner Gift Package

After seeing my 'System Status,' I find a 'Beginner Gift Package' in the Inventory column.

I decide to open this 'Beginner Gift Package,' but before that, my thoughts drift toward the 'System name' because saying 'System' every time is inconvenient.

"Hello, System," I say.

[Yeah]

"System, do you have a name? Your system name is too long, and viewers told me to give the system a shorter name," I tell S.E.S.

[Ok

"Ok, from now on, your name is Neo," I declare.

[Ok]

"Neo, open the beginner gift package." I spoke.

[Ok]

"Neo, I choose Job: Amethyst Upgrade Ticket, Stat: Amethyst Upgrade Ticket, and Nihility Trait [EX]." After thinking about it, I replied.

[Ok]

[Job: Amethyst Upgrade Ticket, Stat: Amethyst Upgrade Ticket, and Nihility Trait [EX] are placed in Inventory]

"Neo, use Profession Amethyst upgrade tickets." I said to Neo while thinking that Upgrading Profession will certainly increase certain stats and was also excited about changes.

[Ok]

[Ding...]

[You have used Profession: Amethyst upgrade ticket]

[Upgrading 1%... 67%.... 100%]

[Profession is being upgraded]

[Profession: Necromancer has been successfully upgraded into Undead Monarch]

After happening all of these processes and listening to all of these prompts, a stream of power started to flow and fill my body and again a ton of prompts started to flow in front of my eyes.

[Ding...]

[World System]

[Profession: Necromancer has been successfully upgraded into Hidden Profession: Undead Monarch]

[Strength, Constitution, Intelligence and Spirit stat's limit has been increased by 2 times]

[Note: 'Profession' doesn't change, as they come with 'Talent Awakening'. You can change only, if you have Profession Crystal as they mainly drop in above A grade Dungeon by killing 'Boss Monster'. It can also conflict with existing Profession as 'Federation' doesn't allow students to change Profession.]

[As a Hidden Profession: Undead Monarch, you have gain Profession skill]

1. [Undead intimidation: As an undead monarch, all undead will fear you might. When facing you, their attack and defense will decrease by 50%.]
