The biggest reward that Leo received apart from the improvements to his mana capacity, was the fat stack of MP that he got.
Coupled with the MP that he had already accumulated throughout his journey as a player, his total MP pool was now at a whopping 100,004MP, crossing the impressive 100,000 threshold.
For an average player, this wealth was beyond imaginable, as one would lack avenues to spend 100,000 MP even if they wanted to, however, since Leo held the ambition to someday replicate Ben in real life, this MP became crucial for him, as the price to make a clone of Ben Faulkner was a whopping 750,000 units.
Apart from the MP, the lump sum of 50 million gold was also extremely impressive, as with this amount of wealth, he could significantly boost the Uprising's day to day activity.
As a merchant he understood just how much money 50 million gold coins was worth, as even the biggest business conglomerates within the Empire could not fork out such a sum casually.
Nonetheless, Leo was in dire need of this money, as to avenge the death of his master, he needed to incentivize the members of the uprising guild to prepare for war, and fighting wars was a costly endeavor.
If he were to reward war merit with gold coins, he needed a significant amount of money in reserve as without it, his word would be worth nothing.
However, although these two gains were already beyond impressive, the biggest gain that Leo had was undoubtedly the level boost.
With the +50 levels that he had gained, he was now at a whopping 402 levels, becoming the only player to breach the 400 level mark.
Currently, there were only 3 players under him who had even breached the 300 level mark, who were the number 3,4 and 5 ranked players on the global rankings, yet he had already surpassed level 400 leaving them all in the dust.
To his joy, an increase in level came with free distribution of stat points, and with his stats having already undergone a 1.5x multiplier upon reaching the status of a master, his current stats were almost twice as much as the next strongest player in Cervantez.
At this point, for the first time since the game began, he truly entered a league of his own, as for the first time ever, he earned the right to call himself 'TheBoss'.
"Open System Screen–" Leo commanded, as after having undergone such massive improvements, he finally wanted to see what his new stat panel looked like.

*********
As Leo took a look at his stat panel, he could not help but grin from ear to ear as he could not find a single department where he lacked.
Whether it was him being covered in top notch gear from head to toe, him possessing hidden cards, or his own core strength, everything was beyond exemplary, as finally he felt ready to face the true Maestro's of this game.
Having entered the realm of masters, Leo finally had the confidence to avenge the death of Ben, and he could now envision a future where he could go toe to toe with some of the strongest foes in the Empire.
Regardless of who wronged his master, Leo finally felt as if he was prepared to exact the justice that he deserved.
However, little did he know that the master he was trying to avenge, was actually still alive and healthy.
********
(Meanwhile Cervantez)
Cervantez felt his mental state become disturbed when Leo became a 'Master'.
Since he had the knowledge of a reincarnator, he knew exactly how tough it was for a player to reach the fabled realm of a master, and in his last life, nobody, including 'TheBoss' reached that realm.
"How did he do it? Just how did he reach the realm of a master in under two years?" Cervantez wondered, as they had not even reached the half-way point into their journey, yet Leo had somehow already surpassed the limits of what a genius player could achieve within the game.
Even for geniuses, improving the mastery of a skill took months of effort, and even if they were fortunate enough to possess two legendary skills in their skill set, pushing them to advanced mastery was no laughing matter.
It would take the average genius just about 6 months to master one skill, and a year to master both.
Adding time to push other skills in his/her arsenal to Intermediate grade and spending time leveling in the wild to reach level 350, it was next to impossible for any player to catch up-to 'TheBoss' in the next 1.5-2 years, by which their journey would near its end.
"How?" Cervantez kept muttering, as at this point common sense seemed to have left the conversation.
