Without wasting any time, Kael summoned the two reward boxes from his inventory.
The next moment, both boxes materialized before him simultaneously.
Almost immediately, a notification screen appeared before his eyes.
[Do you want to claim the reward?]
[Yes / No]
Kael did not hesitate and immediately selected yes.
The next moment, a string of notifications flooded his vision.
[Rewards claimed.]
[+20,500 Tower Coins]
[+1 Skill Book (Common-Grade)]
[+20 Stat Points]
[Infinite Reward Multiplier — Activated!]
[Multiplier: x100]
[Rewards adjusted:]
[+2,050,000 Tower Coins]
[+1 Skill Book (Uncommon-Grade)]
[+2,000 Stat Points]
Kael stared at the screen for a moment before nodding slowly.
"Not bad."
The additional two million Tower Coins immediately pushed his balance beyond fourteen million.
But compared to the coins, his attention shifted more toward the other rewards.
The skill book.
It had arrived at the perfect time.
He had only just unlocked his first skill slot, and now he conveniently received a skill book alongside it. Earlier, he had already been considering buying one himself, but now that problem had solved itself.
Then his gaze shifted toward the final reward.
Two thousand stat points.
Kael could not help shaking his head slightly.
That number was simply absurd.
Even all his current stats combined were nowhere near that amount, yet he had just casually obtained two thousand free stat points from opening reward boxes.
The growth rate of his strength was honestly becoming ridiculous.
A grin slowly spread across his face.
"I really am built different."
The narcissistic smile on his face widened slightly before he lightly smacked his own cheek.
"Alright. Calm down."
His gaze returned toward the screen again.
Now came the important part.
He fully intended to use the stat points immediately, but before that, he needed to make sure he was somewhere safe.
The memory of what happened after leveling up eighteen times earlier was still fresh in his mind.
Assigning two thousand stat points at once could easily produce a similar reaction. Maybe even worse.
So instead of remaining on the bed, Kael climbed down and sat directly on the open floor of his room. If another violent surge of strength happened, at least he would not accidentally destroy furniture around him.
Once seated properly, he opened his status screen again.
His eyes locked onto the massive pool of unassigned stat points.
Then without wasting time, he immediately distributed three hundred points into each stat.
The moment he confirmed it, a violent surge of energy exploded throughout his body.
Kael instantly gritted his teeth.
A frightening amount of strength flooded through him all at once, making every muscle in his body tighten painfully.
Luckily, this time was nowhere near as bad as the level-up earlier.
He did not lose consciousness.
Still, the sensation felt horrible.
It was almost like his entire body was being pressure-cooked from the inside.
Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a short while before slowly easing apart.
Even then, Kael did not immediately move.
He could feel overwhelming strength coursing through every inch of his body right now. It genuinely felt like even the slightest careless movement might break something accidentally.
So instead, he remained seated quietly while reopening his status screen.

Kael stared at the screen quietly before a slow smile spread across his face.
Who would believe that these were the stats of someone who had not even been awakened for up to a week yet?
Even those who awakened a year before him usually did not possess stats anywhere close to this level.
Yet he had achieved it within days.
At this rate...
Wouldn’t he eventually become one of the legendary S-Rank Hunters?
Those beings stood at the absolute top of the world’s food chain. Wealth, power, influence, fame, they possessed everything.
Every awakened individual dreamed of reaching that level someday.
But now...
Kael no longer felt satisfied with just S-Rank.
Maybe it was too ambitious, arrogant even.
But why shouldn’t he aim higher?
His tutorial rating had reached SSS-Rank.
That fact alone already proved one thing clearly.
S-Rank was not the limit.
And perhaps even SSS-Rank was not the true pinnacle either.
There were probably even greater heights beyond that.
And Kael fully intended to reach them.
His confidence in that fact was absolute.
After a while, his gaze shifted back toward the remaining stat points.
There were still over two hundred left unassigned, but Kael chose not to touch them for now.
At the moment, he still lacked a proper combat style.
His future self had basically fought however he could survive. There had never been structure or specialization behind it.
But Kael did not want to continue down that same path this time.
He wanted to eventually create a combat system suited specifically for himself.
So keeping extra stat points available for future adjustments was the smarter decision.
Eventually, his attention shifted toward the skill tab.
The single skill slot he had unlocked was still empty.
But not for long.
Without hesitation, Kael reached into his inventory and retrieved the skill book.
Despite the name, it was not actually a book.
It looked more like a scroll.
Kael quickly checked its description.
[Skill Book — Uncommon Grade]
[When used, awakens a random skill ranging from F-Tier to D+ Tier.]
Kael nodded slightly.
Not bad at all.
Without hesitation, he activated it.
Immediately, another notification appeared before him.
[Skill Book detected.]
[Do you want to use it?]
[Yes / No]
Kael selected yes.
The next moment, the scroll suddenly dissolved apart into countless glowing motes of light.
The particles gathered together rapidly before condensing into a single glowing orb that instantly shot toward Kael’s forehead.
A flood of information entered his mind.
Then another notification appeared.
[Skill learned: Eye of Truth — D-Rank]
But immediately afterward, the screen suddenly glitched.
Kael’s eyes narrowed instantly.
He had seen this happen before.
During his tutorial.
Fortunately, the distortion only lasted briefly before new notifications appeared.
[New skill: Eye of Truth is synergizing with active Class Perk.]
[Infinite Reward Multiplier — Activated.]
[Under the influence of the Multiplier, the new skill is being upgraded.]
[Please wait...]
