The Extra's Odyssey

Including myself, there was only one other person here.

"What should I choose? I want to take the sword but I want the other equipments too. Every prize here is too good to pass up on!"

The person's height, voice, looks, everything about him was unrecognizable.

Nevertheless, I knew who he was.

'Leon'

Even Trials reward can be chosen by the challengers. Not to mention [Singularity] gave a very wide range of precious rewards to choose from.

"Arggh! I'll take this!"

Leon tapped in the air and a bright light engulfed him.

Shortly, the light receded but he was no longer inside the room.

'Looks like he just cleared the 2nd Trial and got his reward'

Other than me, only Leon would have chosen [Singularity].

Susan and Cadmus would choose [Expert] difficulty, while Anna and Lilith should have chosen [Hard].

Cadmus was power hungry but he was level-headed too, he knew he wouldn't be able to clear [Singularity], thus went with the best option available. Susan was ordered by Aegis to not choose [Singularity] as even the first 3 Irregulars couldn't go beyond the 12th [Singularity] trial.

As for Anna and Lilith, at his point, they were less goal-driven people and chose a relatively easy difficulty.

Keyword: Relatively

[Hard] Trials also become extremely difficult in the future and Ward advises only the Top 25 to choose it, let alone [Expert].

I stood at the podium in the middle of the room and a screen appeared in front of me.

[Please choose one reward -

1. Poison Dagger [Unique]

2. Ardmandizana Armor [Unique]

...

...

51. Rescue Summoning [Epic]

52. Lie Detection [Epic]

53. Sea Serpent Spear [Epic]

...

...

59. Lucky Pants [Epic]

60. Happy Feet [Epic]

...]

The list went on and on and on.

"[Rescue Summoning]! [Lie Detection]! [Lucky Pants]! Epic-grade weapons! These rewards are too good!"

I almost choose [Lucky Pants], thankfully, I held back and decided to check everything first.

======

[Rescue Summoning [Epic] ]

-Brings a random summon to solve the problem described by the user

-The summon cannot be higher ranked than the summoner

-Number of uses: 3

-Cooldown: 12 hours

======

======

[Lie Detection [Epic] ]

-Enables the user to detect the truth or lie in any conversation.

-Duration: 6 hours

-Cooldown: 24 hours

======

There was no doubt that these two rewards were amazing!

[Rescue Summoning] can be used to summon help in a dangerous situation. I could work around the 'random summon' part by making someone else use the item, like someone with 99 luck. The only limitation of this artifact was its limited number of uses.

I don't even need to say why [Lie Detection] was amazing. With it I wouldn't need to worry about the information X will give me being false! This was only one of the few benefits!

[Luck Pants]... oh my, luck pants, where have you been till now?

I excitedly checked its description.

======

[Lucky Pants [Epic] ] (Passive)

-Increases the wearer's luck by 500%

-Durability:1000/1000

======

( -13 x 5 = -65)

"...."

(Aren't they 'Unlucky Pants'?)

"tsk"

Ignoring Eth, I focused on other rewards.

[86. Turquoise Mirror [Legendary]

87. Warrior's Helm [Legendary]

88. Saintess Flag [Legendary]

....]

'The rewards are a lot better than they should have been. Guess defeating an Overlord is a pretty big deal.'

[Turquoise Mirror] was an item to change your appearance for a limited time. The camouflage would be powerful enough to fool the world's best security measures.

[Warrior's Helm] allowed one to increase their combat technique comprehension. It helped to increase the rate of mastering any art as well as increasing the speed of weapon learning.

[Saintess Flag] was an AOE(area of effect) item. It increased the recovery rate, strength, stamina, and morale of your troops in a certain range. Morale was a key component during wars that could change the tides despite the difference in military might.

All these rewards were very precious.

"[Protection] isn't here."

No, not that protection.

[Protection] was a skill with many uses, however, the one I was interested in was its ability to block [Appraisal] and camouflage the user's status.

'Looks like either X or Y took it already.'

I was deciding what to choose until my eyes fell on a particular reward.

[98. Fragment of Eternity [Legendary] ]

My eyes widened.

'How is it here?! Shouldn't it only appear on the 12th Trial?!'

This ore was very precious and there was only one of it, even in the Tower. To get it, you would need to clear the 12th [Objective-type] [Singularity] Trial with overwhelming results.

'The 12th Trial will be the first Trial with have both, an Overlord and getting to choose your reward as it is an even trial'

'I cleared 1st Trial with an Overlord, and the 2nd Trial reward I'm getting early is also my 1st Trial reward. Is this why I'm getting an option to take it?'

I checked its details to make sure it was the same thing.

======

[Fragment of Eternity [Legendary] ]

One of the 13 pieces that are said to have existed even before the Universe was created. It is rumored that combining all 13 pieces will recreate the strongest weapon that can make its owner the master of the Universe.

-This piece of rock has [Infinite] and [Unbreakable] enchantments added to it.

-???

======

"It's the same..."

I gulped unconsciously.

In the novel, Leon used this ore to strengthen [Sword of Eternity] a weapon that was also created from a [Fragment of Eternity].

It was something belonging to Leon, my good friend. And as a good friend, I did what I had to.

[You have chosen [Fragment of Eternity] as your reward for clearing the 2nd Trial]

"Don't worry, Leon. I remember what you told me before. I'll take your cheats, a few of them."

A purple rock appeared in my hands.

"Oooh~"

It was smaller than my fist and its weight was light too, I could barely feel it.

Holding the rock with my left arm, I could help but smile.

"I know what 'weapon' I'll create with this rock."

Pocketing it inside my storage ring, I walked out of the door.

Administrator was still busy watching TV.

"Why aren't you leaving? Be quick"

"Before that... can you tell me 'your' name?"

Administrator nonchalantly answered my question.

Listening to her answer, my small smile stretched into a large grin.

'Finally, a lot of things make sense.'
