Kingdom & Betrayal Quest Completed (1)
(Author's Note: The upcoming six chapters will delve into the review of the recently completed four quests. Do not skip them, I repeat, do not skip them.)
Before heading back to the Dark Forest, Rasoul opted to check his Kingdom Quest rewards, prompted by the system's notification of successful completion. He turned towards the system interface and began reviewing the messages.
[Kingdom Quest Completed]
[First Quest: Kill or Enslave all the Seven Heads and their heirs or Heiress of the Great Families in the Sundance Kingdom Completed successfully.]
[Rewards:]
>>300,000,000 Fire Points - Received
>>200,000 Attribute Points - Received
>>20 Empty Scroll - Received
>>2 Ability upgrade Pass - Received
>>System store Golden Ticket - Received
>>3 Hidden Reward - Received
Rasoul jumped all the rewards and just went straight to the hidden rewards.
[Hidden Rewards:]
[Quantum Alchemy Codex]
-- A mystical book containing the secrets of quantum alchemy. By mastering its teachings, the cultivator gains the ability to transmute and reshape matter at a fundamental level.
[Luminous Grimoire of Elemental Fusion]
-- A spellbook that teaches the cultivator how to fuse and manipulate the elements creatively, allowing the creation of unique elemental spells and abilities.
[Phoenix Ember Bow of Rebirth: Legendary Rank]
-- A bow that fires arrows made of enchanted phoenix feathers. Upon impact, the arrows burst into flames, and if an enemy is defeated, a rejuvenating flame heals the cultivator.
'These rewards are quite impressive. I suppose my dear system didn't let me down this time.
[Enjoy while you still can, you might be dying soon anyway]
'You might act tough, but deep down, you still care about me. Don't worry, system; I won't be leaving you anytime soon, Rasoul said teasingly.
[Who cares about you]
'Whatever you say, system,' he retorted sarcastically.
[Annoying]
He then retrieved the 'Quantum Alchemy Codex,' a hefty book with a greenish cover, appeared in his hands.
The moment the book landed in his palm, he saw the message.
[Does the Host wish to learn this book]
>>Yes
>>No
'Yes.' He selected 'Yes,' and instantly, a deluge of information, possibly in the millions if not billions, began flooding into his mind. His vision promptly darkened as a wave of pain surged through his brain, attempting to tear it apart. After five minutes, he regained his sight, and it was then that he saw the messages.
[Congratulations to the host for learning a new book: Quantum Alchemy Codex]
[Congratulations to the host for advancing his Alchemy SubClass: Master level]
[Congratulations to the host for increasing his Mental Strength to a Semi-Saint Level]
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the system Ability, Delete]
'Damn, that was painful. A little warning next time System...Rasoul complained inwardly.
[Sorry about that]
'No, you're not.' Rasoul promptly dismissed the system's apology. He could sense that behind the apology, the system was secretly pleased that he had endured such excruciating pain.
[Until next time host]
However, amidst the pain, he received some great benefits. The information derived from the book, although centered on alchemy, was not confined to conventional potion-making like ordinary alchemy. The content delved into utilizing diverse energies in the cosmos to fabricate materials at the quantum level. He acquired knowledge on manipulating various forms of elements into solid matter. Now, he could craft Mana stones, Cosmic Stones, Chaos Stones, and much more.
Possessing the information and mastering it were two distinct challenges. He grasped the basics, yet the next step involved attaining mastery. Interestingly, this technique couldn't be applied with his Mind Alchemy skill; a physical cauldron was required. Consequently, he had to embark on the manual learning of fire control. In short, he is fucked but that is no issue for him since he planned on going to the Elvin empire mainly to learn alchemy.
'Alright. I suppose I'll need to carve out some time for my subclasses too,' Rasoul pondered inwardly as he shifted to the next message.
'System, enlighten me on the benefits now that my mental strength has reached the Semi-Saint stage,' Rasoul demanded.
[Now, you can effortlessly access and manipulate the minds of those below the Saint-level,] the system conveyed..
'So no new ability...
[No new ability Host. Maybe next time]
'No biggie, he said with clear disappointment, but he chose to move on to the next message.
[Ability Delete Function]
--The Host can now delete abilities he no longer wants
'So there was something like this and you wanted me to pay 100 million fire Points just to delete one ability. That is just straight-up daylight robbery.
[I am not a charity host. You pay I do the work]
'Pure Evil.
He proceeded to extract the next book, the 'Luminous Grimoire of Elemental Fusion,' a yellow-covered book adorned with runic patterns along its edges. Rasoul examined the book before gently pressing it to his forehead.
[Does the host wish to learn this book]
>>Yes
>>No
'Yes
[WARNING: The host elemental mastery will be reset to the beginner level]
[Does the host wish to proceed]
>>Yes
>>No
'Hell no,' Rasoul promptly canceled the request. He understood that starting from scratch would impede him in the upcoming battles just two weeks away. He needed to maintain his current mastery at least until after the war.
[Save it for after the war. This is a valuable resource that will undoubtedly make you much stronger,] the system suggested.
'I will. Thanks for the warning, though. It seems you're not entirely evil," Rasoul remarked.
He then stowed the book and retrieved a magnificent bow that appeared to be crafted from ebony wood, it was adorned with intricate golden filigree. The limbs gracefully curved like the wings of a phoenix in flight, while the handle was wrapped in supple, crimson-hued leather, offering a comfortable grip. Radiant gemstones embedded within the bow's frame shimmered with the ethereal glow of reborn flames. At its center, a delicately sculpted phoenix, rendered in golden detail, served as both a decorative motif and a conduit for the bow's enchantments.
As usual, the moment he touched the bow, he saw the abilities ingrained within it.
***
[Phoenix Ember Bow of Rebirth: Legendary]
[Phoenix Fire Arrows]
>>The bow's enchanted arrows are crafted from the feathers of a phoenix, ensuring each shot is imbued with the essence of fire. Upon impact, the arrows burst into brilliant flames, causing additional burn damage to the target.
[Rejuvenating Flame]
>>A unique ability tied to the bow, the flames produced upon defeating an enemy possess healing properties. When an adversary falls, a rejuvenating flame envelops the wielder, restoring a portion of their health and revitalizing their spirit.
[Eternal Ember Quiver]
>>The bow magically replenishes its quiver with phoenix feathers, ensuring an endless supply of ammunition. This mystical quiver never empties, allowing the archer to maintain a relentless onslaught against their foes.
[Phoenix's Gaze]
>>The bow enhances the archer's perception, granting them an instinctive awareness of their surroundings. This heightened awareness aids in tracking enemies and anticipating their movements, giving the wielder a distinct advantage in combat.
[Flameforged Resilience]
>>The bow bestows a temporary resistance to fire upon the archer, forming an invisible barrier that reduces the impact of fire-based attacks. This resilience ensures the wielder can navigate through intense battles without succumbing to the destructive power of flames.
[Rebirth Incantation]
In dire moments, the bow allows the cultivator to perform a sacred incantation. This ritual taps into the essence of the phoenix, granting the archer a momentary rebirth. If fatally wounded, the wielder is revived with a burst of phoenix flames, ready to continue the fight with renewed vigor.
***
He swiftly read the abilities and stowed the bow away. He understood that the weapon wouldn't reach its full potential in his hands, so he planned to create a subordinate to wield it.
He then moved to the next item.
[System store Golden Ticket]
---If lucky, breaking the ticket will reward the user with valuable items from the system store,
'Now, that's what I'm talking about. With this, I can acquire anything without worrying about the price. I'll hold off until higher-tier items start appearing in the store. In other words, I'll only use it when divine items are made available in the system store,'
[Let's hope you can hold on till then]
'Oh, I will...
He then ignores the other rewards since he doesn't want to create an ability now or upgrade one just yet. He moved on to the second quest.
[Second Quest: Make Princess Vina the Crown Princess of The Sundance Empire Completed successfully.]
[Rewards:]
>>100,000,000 Fire Points - Received
>>1,000,000 Mana Stones - Received
>>100,000 Attributes Points - Received

He wasted no time and swiftly opened the system store to select a legendary weapon for free.
