YM778.TV Chapter 14: Level up X 20
Silas landed back gracefully on the floor after receiving the notification. The mutant stood tall for a few moments before dropping dead, and the whole chamber shook the moment the gigantic body hit the floor.
"That was... close." He leaned his hands on his knees, panting heavily with cold sweat trickling down his face. "I can\'t believe I defeated a Grade 5 mutant. Usually, it would take a whole squad to kill it, but I did it all on my own. On top of that, I did it with a Grade 3 mutant blade and no mutant gear."
Silas was now feeling a bit proud of what had just happened. Grade 5 is the highest and most powerful grade in the set of numerical mutants. Numerical mutants are mutants identified by the numbers of their power grades.
However, there are certain types of mutants that go beyond Grade 5. These types are often found in Special Grade Realms or Advanced Realms.
These types of mutant realms are only raided by a full team of Grade 5 mutant ability users, and at least twenty people should be on the team. Any team with fewer than twenty comrades will only meet a disastrous end.
The items found in these types of realms are very rare and are sold to the highest bidder. The mutants in the realm drop valuable items that can be crafted into weapons or consumed by those who wish to upgrade their mutant grade.
These items are called Energy Pills.
But for Silas, he didn\'t care if there were still whole sets of powerful mutants above the one he just killed. As long as he had just slain a Grade 5 mutant, one that would take a full squad to kill, he was content with it.
"I guess the increase in strength worked after all," Silas commented as he glanced at his clenched fist. He remembered adding his five attribute points to his strength earlier before the clash.
He thought the attribute points didn\'t work because he felt no different from his regular self, but in the end, he realized that he had gotten stronger...strong enough to defeat a Grade 5 mutant.
"If I can get really strong by adding just 5 points to strength, I wonder just how strong I\'ll become if I add ten or twenty." The thought of that alone made Silas grin, and his heart raced with excitement.
He couldn\'t wait to get back to the mutant academy and show those who looked down on him that he was no longer the same guy they knew. Also, with his newfound strength, getting into a nice guild shouldn\'t be a problem in the future.
Silas stood there, daydreaming about his future with his fingers rubbing his chin, but his thoughts were interrupted by a soft chiming sound.

Silas scanned through the notification screen floating in front of him. His eyes widened in shock, and his jaw almost dropped to the floor.
"What the hell? I knew I expected a juicy reward... but... but... but all of this?" He gulped down saliva while glancing at the screen.
To make sure what he was seeing was real, Silas had to rub his eyes twice before shifting his gaze back to it.
"Nah, this must be a trick or something," he assumed before dismissing the screen and calling out the main system screen that displayed all his stats.

------------------------------
Silas examined the screen with his fingers rubbing his chin, "The rewards are real, I see."
"Getting such an insane amount of level-ups for just two quests is crazy," Silas blurted.
In the games he used to play, the characters only leveled up once per quest, and the rewards he got were based on the difficulty of the quest. But for some reason, he had leveled up twenty times for just completing two quests.
"Well, whatever. I don\'t really care about that. All that matters is that I get stronger." Silas then dismissed the thought as he shifted his gaze toward the attribute panel.
"30 attribute points, eh?" A huge grin stretched across his face as he glanced at the number of points he had.
"Now, how do I distribute the points? If I place all the points in strength, the rest will be lacking. I can\'t put all my eggs in one basket, so I\'ll just distribute it like... this..."
[Strength + 10.]
[Agility + 10.]
[Speed + 5.]
[Reflex + 5.]
Upon adding all points to his attributes, Silas felt a burning sensation travel through his entire body, and it felt like his whole organs was set on fire. It wasn\'t really painful, and in less than a second, the feeling vanished.
RUMBLE!
Before Silas could check his body and confirm if there were any changes, the whole chamber shook, and he fell to the floor. Debris began to fall here and there, and the whole place was now filled with dust.
"Shit... the realm is collapsing!" Silas exclaimed, his eyes widening in terror.
