Free Web NovelChapter 36: Terrifying Rewards
[Ding!]
[Sign-in successful.]
[Congratulations Master.]
[Due to the completion of the System Upgrade, bonus rewards have been granted.]
[Reward 1: A-Rank Item - Bloodline Evolution Crystal.]
[Reward 2: S-Rank Movement Ability - Close Yet So Far.]
[Reward 3: A-Rank Item - World Key Fragment.]
Amon’s eyes immediately stopped at the first reward.
Bloodline.
His thoughts instinctively drifted toward his wife and daughter. This treasure could potentially alter their bloodlines to a certain extent.
He could be sure how much of a difference it would make compared to having a normal talent, so he quickly glanced at the description listed in the system.
[Bloodline Evolution Crystal]
[Rank: A]
[Description: A treasure capable of gently evolving the bloodline, physique, and innate potential of a living being.]
Amon’s breathing slowed gradually. It was almost as good as the divine physique he’d gotten from the system.
Thinking it through, he decided to assign it to his wife.
Ciara already had a secret and could increase her strength on her own. His wife was the only ordinary person among them.
If his wife could become far stronger than normal, then Amon would naturally be happy.
A warm smile appeared on his face.
Of all the rewards he could have received, this was perhaps the one he valued most.
Strength for himself could be obtained later.
But opportunities that could improve his wife’s future were far rarer.
Only after carefully storing the crystal away in the system space did he shift his attention toward the second reward.
[S-Rank Movement Ability: Close Yet So Far]
For a brief moment, he thought he had misread the notifications.
An S-Rank ability?
Even the two A-Rank items paled in comparison.
His heartbeat accelerated slightly.
Since obtaining the Sign-In System, he had received many rewards.
But an S-Rank reward?
This was the first.
Without hesitation, Amon focused on the ability.
[S-Rank Movement Ability: Close Yet So Far]
[Description: Distance is merely a matter of perspective.]
[Effect: The user may instantly step to any location they have personally seen before.]
[Restriction: The destination must exist within the current world.]
[Restriction: Energy consumption increases with distance.]
[Restriction: Insufficient energy may result in failure.]
For several seconds, Amon simply stared.
Then he looked up.
"..."
His expression became strange.
This ability was absurd.
No.
Calling it absurd was an understatement.
This was practically cheating.
As long as he had seen a place once, he could instantly arrive there.
No travel.
No pursuit.
No obstacles.
No walls.
No checkpoints.
No barriers.
A faint smile appeared on Amon’s face.
The first location that appeared in his mind was naturally home.
Then the abandoned warehouse.
Then several locations throughout Cold Moon City.
If the description was accurate...
Amon could travel between all of them instantly.
The next moment, countless pieces of information flooded his mind.
The ability integrated itself naturally.
As though he had practiced it for years.
Amon took a slow breath.
Then activated it.
One step forward.
The world blurred.
The scenery shattered like broken glass.
Amon’s figure vanished.
The next instant he appeared on the rooftop of a nearby building.
The transition was so smooth he barely felt anything.
No spatial turbulence.
No dizziness.
Nothing.
One moment he was standing behind the house.
The next he was overlooking the entire district.
The cold evening wind brushed against his face.
Amon’s eyes widened.
He immediately activated it again.
Step.
The scenery changed.
Step.
The scenery changed again.
Step.
Another change.
Within seconds he had crossed multiple locations throughout the district.
His heart pounded.
Not from fear.
From excitement.
This ability was far more convenient than he imagined.
Even Moon’s spatial movement technique suddenly seemed inferior.
Moon had to actively manipulate space.
Close Yet So Far simply ignored distance entirely.
Amon finally stopped on top of a water tower overlooking the city.
A smile slowly formed on his face.
This was undoubtedly one of the strongest rewards he had ever obtained.
And perhaps one of the most useful.
His enemies would never expect it.
Nobody would.
How could they stop someone who could appear anywhere he had previously visited?
The implications were terrifying. freёweɓnovel.com
Amon spent another minute testing the ability before finally calming himself.
Only then did he shift his attention toward the final reward.
A golden fragment appeared before him.
It looked ancient.
As though it had existed for countless years.
The fragment floated quietly in the air.
Covered in countless mysterious runes.
[World Key Fragment]
[Rank: A]
[Description: One of seven fragments belonging to an unknown key.]
[Current Progress: 1/7.]
[Collect all seven fragments to reconstruct the World Key.]
Amon frowned.
That was all.
No further explanation appeared.
No clues.
No directions.
Nothing.
The fragment simply floated there.
Silent and mysterious.
Amon studied it for a while before storing it away.
Although he had no idea what the completed key unlocked, anything requiring seven A-Rank fragments was unlikely to be ordinary.
His instincts told him this might become important in the future.
Very important.
Amon glanced toward the darkening sky.
Today’s harvest had exceeded all expectations.
An S-Rank movement ability.
An A-Rank bloodline evolution crystal.
A mysterious A-Rank key fragment.
Even he couldn’t complain.
Especially the movement ability.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
His enemies would need to find him first.
Then somehow stop him before he could take a single step.
A difficult task.
Perhaps an impossible one.
Amon chuckled softly.
For the first time since learning about the Demon Infant Organization’s involvement, some of the pressure weighing on his shoulders had eased.
He finally possessed a reliable escape method.
No.
More than an escape method.
A method of appearing wherever he wished.
Whenever he wished.
Amon closed the system and walked back calmly inside.
To the surrounding onlookers he still looked the same, but Amon knew how much he’d changed completely.
He spotted his wife cooing Ciara gently to sleep.
Amon’s mind began spinning slightly as he thought of when or how to use the bloodline evolution crystal on her.
’Should I just hand it to her directly?’
