Chapter 125: Newbie Rewards, Nero's Change
Chapter 125: Newbie Rewards, Nero's Change
Today was a grand day for those within the Novice Zone, even more so for those newly arrived, they would gain the chance to partake in the fabled Dungeon Raids.
The fresh morning air capable of instilling the adventurous spirit of any who basked under its grace, much like the handsome silver-haired youth that stood within an open field surrounded by trees and flowers.
With a deep breath, this youth made a warm smile before he exhaled and spoke with sharp-looking eyes.
"The wind is good today; it might just be a good day."
As Nero said those words, he gripped one of his fists tightly and prepared to head towards the town, but right as he took a step onto the grassy earth, a notification sounded in his head.
____
Ding!
[Congratulations on completing your first week as a Digitizer! Evaluating your performance!]
____
When Nero heard those words and saw the details before his eyes, his mouth opened wide in shock, he didn't think such a thing would occur.
"Huh? What? Just how..." Nero said in confusion, especially when seeing the flickering digits on the screen before his eyes. He had no idea what was happening.
Adult Nero chuckled as he spoke, "Quit acting so surprised. You're just getting a few rewards for your efforts as a beginner. Why did you think I let you work so hard during the past week and even told you to join the Ranking List?"
After listening to his older self's words, Nero's eyes flashed as he had a look of realization. He muttered, 'So that's how it is; It's no wonder I didn't get any weapons or gear despite entering the top ten ranks.'
However, despite thinking such thoughts, Nero soon snorted as he cursed his older self inwardly, 'Bastard, you could have at least told me beforehand.'
Adult Nero said nothing as he pretended not to hear his younger self's thoughts; Nero wanted to complain but couldn't as the list had finally finished.
____
Ding!
[Evaluation complete! You have been evaluated as a First Tier amongst this week's newly arrived Digitizers! Now listing your rewards!]

[Congratulations, you've earned a system title, The First of Newbies!]
[Congratulations, you've earned 100 Prestige!]
[Congratulations, you've earned 10 Silver Coins!]

After seeing the series of notifications that popped up on the screen, Nero's eyes showed excitement as he gripped his fist, resisting his urge to shouted out loud, 'Hell yeah!'
He knew that there were quite a few people around and didn't need that kind of embarrassment this early in the morning; after taking a deep breath, he smiled while thinking.
'Finally, I got something good from this mean world and its system, to think that it not only gave me a special title, I also got silver coins and an armor. Haha, I can't help but get the feeling that today might be my luckiest day yet.'
As Nero's thoughts were filled with excitement, Adult Nero remained quiet, his face carrying a sly smirk as if he couldn't wait to see Nero's face much later.
Unaware of his older self's thoughts, Nero promptly inspected his change along with his new items.

As Nero looked over his details, he shook his head at the title name even more so when he saw it stated - can't be equipped. He thought, 'As if I'd equip such a humiliating name...'
After brushing down such thoughts, Nero looked at HP and MP, nodding in satisfaction. He was a bit worried about his lack of Magic Power, but now with this change, he would be able to fight with more of his skills.
Speaking of skills, Nero's eyes soon landed on the Special High-Grade Skill, Blood Reaper's Dance. He made a curious look as he inspected its details and thought to himself.
'To think that it can increase my attack power by 10%, I wonder just how far I can advance it?' Nero thought as he recalled the conversation he had with his older self about Special High-Grade Skills uniqueness.
No long pondering such things, Nero's eyes then fixed onto his newest item, bringing up the detail view for the Ironscale Underarmor.

After finally inspecting all his changes, Nero nodded as he started to leave the open field, venturing towards the direction of Birgime. Yet, while doing this, Adult Nero soon distracted him.
"Wait, there's something I need to tell you."
When Nero heard those words, he halted at a nearby tree, making a puzzled look as he inwardly asked, "Huh? What are you talking about? What's left to discuss?"
Adult Nero made a slightly embarrassed smile as he spoke, "I did say I have something to tell you that time in the hospital; now that you've logged in, I'll quickly say it here."
Nero made a suspicious look as he thought inwardly, 'I bet he just forgot about it.'
Adult Nero snorted but cleared his throat, pretending as if he didn't hear his younger self's thoughts; he then made a stern look as the air around him change when he finally spoke again, "It's like this..."
