Chapter 81: Chapter 81Aaron woke up after what felt like a lifetime. When he looked around, he saw some black shit and blood, that not only covered the ground but also his body.

    "What the shit?" he shouted when he saw that, but he quickly recovered himself.

    "The notifications said that there are rewards, but I fainted. Where are the rewards?" Aaron muttered and looked around, even checked his inventory, but didn’t find any.

    "Wait, did those rewards cause this?" Aaron looked at the black shit and blood mixed in it.

    He immediately pulled out his status panel to see if any changes had occurred to his body.

    When he saw his status, there were changes, and those changes almost gave him a heart attack. There are a total of four changes on his panel, but he has a feeling that the fourth one is caused by one of the two.

    He didn’t think the third one was the cause of that.

    To verify his assumptions, he slowly checked those two.

    --

    Death Swallow (SS-Rank): You can now absorb Death Energy around you to either increase the value of Death Energy or refill the lost energy. The rate of absorption depends on your INT and also the amount of death energy available.

    --

    Death Physique (SS-Rank): With this physique, you can survive Deathlands. Not only that, you can store Death Energy inside your body. The maximum energy that can be stored would depend on WIS.

    This energy can be used to cast Death Skills or to strengthen your attributes temporarily.

    [Note: The cost of Death Energy to cast Death Skills is considered less than Mana, but due to insufficient Death Energy, it’s best to use Mana most of the time, except for in places where Death Energy is abundant.]

    --

    Now he was sure that the Death Energy column appeared because of the two rewards that he got, Bloodline and Physique.

    He didn’t know what this energy was, but from the name and description, he could only speculate about it. Whether that was true or not, he had to verify that later.

    "Both of these are labelled as SSS-Rank, but not as Unique, and that means, there are other holders or could be so in the future", Aaron muttered to himself.

    "Whether it is unique or not, if what the description says is true, then I can use the Death Skills, which are most of my skills, using this Death Energy. The only problem was that it was not as abundant as Mana".

    This can be seen from the number of Death Energy value showing on the panel. At this moment, it is zero.

    "I have no idea where to go to increase that number. I have a feeling that those Death Lands would be very good to refill, but they sound ominous. So, it’s best not to tread there. Maybe I can refill that in battlefields", Aaron mused to himself for a minute before he pulled himself.

    He then checked on the third change that he saw on his panel. It was regarding his talent.

    --

    Supreme Growth (SS-Rank) (Unique): With this talent, the EXP, FSPs, and SPs gained are multiplied by a hundred. Moreover, the progress of the skills has also increased by a hundred times.

    --

    "It was....it was..."

    Aaron could help but be surprised by the new talent that he now possesses. His original talent was already considered top-notch, but now it is the top one.

    "Hmm, why didn’t it upgrade to SSS-Rank?" Aaron muttered to himself.

    He believed that there was a chance of SSS-Rank talent existing somewhere after he got SS-Rank talent. In fact, when he first saw that there was a change in the name of the talent, he thought that it would be an SSS-Rank, only to be disappointed by that.

    Shaking his head, Aaron thought to himself, "I can’t be greedy like that. With this talent, I can gain 100 times EXP, FSPs and SPs. Even the skill progress would be 100 times more. With this talent, I can soon become the most powerful person in the world, powerful than those so-called the Five Human Gods".

    Aaron pinched himself, "No, no, no, I can’t be arrogant like that. The notifications said that I am the hundredth one, which means there are 99 more like me who reached the Uncommon grade long before me. I am sure the first few may have even reached Elite grade".

    "For them, even if the rewards are not better than mine, they should be at least similar to mine, though they might not be exactly the same. Among those 99 others who reached Uncommon grade before me, I am sure, those five human gods are present".

    "It means there are 99 people on Earth that has better chances to reach the pinnacle of this world before me. Even without them, there are still countless who can squash me like a bug".

    "I need to be steady and keep a low profile till then. No need to flaunt unnecessarily, or else I would become the main target of many parties", he chided himself for feeling a bit arrogant.

    After calming down a bit, Aaron checked his communicator to see how long he had been unconscious. The time showed that it was seven in the evening, which means he lost consciousness for nine hours.

    Aaron was shocked to see that not only had he missed levelling up, but also missed the training time for the day. He could only sigh as there was nothing that could be done.

    The benefits he got are worth the loss anyway. So, he decided to leave the dungeon and return to his house. He already missed lunch and was hungry with all that loss of blood when he was being upgraded.

    "Before that, I need to clean this shit. It would be bad if anyone saw me like this. Moreover, it smells. This would be bad", Aaron thought to himself, as he searched his supplies to look for a way to clean up a bit, enough to leave the hall without any incident.
