Soon Ajax found himself back at the bottom of the Cursed Abyss, which was full of death energy.

“Phew, that was a close one,” he sighed in relief when he returned in one piece to the Cursed Abyss.

But to his surprise, this death energy was not corroding his body anymore.

“Maybe because I have the essence of death energy in my spirit consciousness, this death energy is not harming me; instead, it is helping my body to become strong and tough,” Ajax guessed correctly about the refinement of his body by the death energy.

 If he stays in the Cursed Abyss for long enough, his body can become stronger, albeit it will take many years.

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for completing the trial within five hours.’

‘Ding,

Changing the original ‘S’ rating to ‘SSS’.

‘Ding,

The host is rewarded with the highest possible rewards due to his ‘SSS’ trial rating; please wait a second.’

‘Ding,

The main reward for the trial:-Making the temporary system permanent.

Now, the host can use various features of the system. So, please activate the system guide to know more.’

Soon, Ajax got the system notification in his head and the holographic screen in front of him, notifying him about the increased rating in clearing the trial and the reward for doing it.

“What? From now, will the system permanently stay in my head?” Although Ajax looked disappointed, he was happy with it.

He was disappointed because he thought that he already had a system, but now the notification said, it is now turned permanent.

But the notifications did not stop. They flooded one after another continuously.

‘Ding,

Additional rewards for the tasks had been added.

Task 1:- Collect 100 death energy spirit stones.

Completed

Reward:- Medium grade spirit jade.

Task 2:- Save three elemental spirits.

Completed

Reward:- Egg of a high-grade beast.

Task 3:- Kill the Undead Elite Soldier.

Completed

Reward:- Medium grade upgrade stone.

Note:- All material rewards will be sent to the inventory.’

Ajax only knows that a high-grade beast’s egg is highly valuable, but he didn’t know anything about ‘Medium grade spirit jade’ and ‘Medium grade upgrade stone.’

Before checking the task rewards, he wanted to get familiar with the system features.

With that thought, he said ‘System guide,’ in his mind silently.

‘Ding,

The system guide is activated.’

‘Ding,

All the information regarding the system is directly injecting into the host’s mind.’

Just after Ajax heard this notification, he felt his mind was flooded with some foreign information, and he was unable to breathe, which made him gasp for air.

“Phew,” before long, he was able to breathe properly, which made him relieved.

“Oh? So, the system has various features such as user interface, inventory, exchange platform, library, and many more”. Soon realization appeared on his face.

“But only the user interface and inventory are unlocked for me. As for other features, they are still greyed out, with a locked symbol on them” Ajax knew what this user interface and inventory do.

“User interface feature helps to look at my stats, whereas inventory helps me store things in it,” Soon he checked his user interface feature first.

The holographic screen in front of him displayed all the details of him and the items.

But he got puzzled about body cultivation and spirit cultivation.

Even the system did not say anything about them, so he left that topic for the future and changed to the next feature as he said ‘Inventory,’ in his mind.

Soon 25 equal squares in which some boxes are filled with items and some are empty, appeared on the holographic screen.
