'This is new,' Alex thought, a bit baffled by seeing the pending reward.
'I wonder how much better the reward is to require me to advance to the third Rank,' Alex thought as he stored the spear in his secured inventory.
Alex was very surprised by the pending reward and had some wild thoughts coming to his head, but he shook them off, knowing setting up expectations always resulted in disappointment.
'Let's check the system reward for killing a special grade world boss and then collect the loot from the Boss itself,' Alex thought, with a smile, as he quickly opened the notification log.
'I was hoping for some more things, but I can't complain, seeing as the most valuable item is present,' Alex thought, feeling the fatigue from the long and challenging battle vanish after seeing the reward.
'The amount of galactic coins is higher than I thought I would receive while receiving a Platinum Grade System Wish is a bit unexpected, but seeing how difficult the world Boss was and how less of the variety is to the, it is a reasonable increase,'
'The guaranteed and the most valuable reward that makes the special grade world Bosses the most desirable for any big Guild.' Alex thought, checking the description of the world announcement.
??????????
Name: Unrestricted World Announcement
Quality: Unique
Grade: UnRanked
Effect: Allow the Player to make a custom World Announcement.
Description: The World Announcement has no expiry and could be used to announce anything with a word limit of 400, and it could also be given to other players at will.
??????????
'The big guild would pay any price to get this, but I am not selling it,' Alex thought.
The Unrestricted World Announcements were among the most desirable things for any guild as they could be used to send their message to every online player.
'I wonder if this legendary magic staff would be better than the magic staff "Oathkeeper" I received after clearing the Forechester Castle,' Alex thought as he took out the old, beat-up-looking wooden staff.
'This magic staff looks familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen this,' Alex thought after looking at the simple yet unique appearance of the staff.
The magic staff was made from a single piece of dark wood in color and had cracks covering every inch of its structure, making it appear that it would crumble at the slightest touch.
The magic staff had a straight base up till halfway up, and then the wood split into eleven strands that braid around each other, reaching the top and uncurling again, forming into the shape of a crown with a cracked white Gem firmly placed inside it.
The staff had no inscriptions or aura like most legendary grade staff would have, but in the few seconds Alex took to examine its appearance, a decent amount of mana was gathered around it.

Alex felt that the hard ground vanished from under his feet, not because he luckily acquired a legacy item after killing a world boss monster challenging for his Rank but because he recognized the staff's name.
'Life Guardian Legacy Staff.' Alex mumbled as he read the name, and instantly the image of a pure white crystal-like staff with a beautiful crown as its head with a living star embedded in it came to his mind.
Alex knew very well about the Lifebender legacy staff because of its famous holder in his previous life, Lady Saffiya, more commonly known by her title of "Emissary of Relief or Devastation," depending on which side she stood.
Life Guardian was the polar opposite of the Death Guardian, but it was not a [SS] Rank, but it was a [SSS] Rank legacy of the highest caliber and granted its holder the best of best healer capabilities while also giving him the power to wield untold devastation.
"This is quite a rare find." Lady Margaret said, appearing next to Alex with her eyes changed to starry red oozing with crimson hue.
"This Magic Staff belongs to Aelrie Ravafina, "The Life Guardian," more commonly known as the Dryad Empress, the daughter of Mother Life Tree, and you can tell it holds her Legacy."
"The Legacy Staff is in damaged condition, which is a reasonable result knowing what it went through, and even though it could be healed to its peak physical condition, doing so would be challenging even for you." Lady Margaret said with her usual bright smile.
"Elder, You know the history of this Magic Staff, but more importantly, you know how it could be repaired?" Alex asked, having tens of questions coming to his already cloudy mind.
"The staff is in damaged condition because its previous owner Empress Aelrie Ravafina fought a battle against a Chaos Spawn, a nightmarish creature of the Void, more than a millennium ago."
"She won the battle, but at the cost of her pure vessel getting corrupted, which became the reason for her death and the Mother Life Tree or, as most people call it, the World Tree," Lady Margaret said.
??????????????
[Congratulation Player Hidden One]
[You have discovered the hidden History of a Major event of the Past]
[Gain more information about the event that became the reason for the destruction of an Empire and made a Race go near extinction to receive a World Grade Quest and rewards of immense Value."
??????????????
'What the hell,' Alex felt he was dreaming after hearing the clear voice announcement from the system.
'A world Grade Quest, just like that?' Alex thought as he forcefully broke his pinky to experience pain to confirm he was not dreaming.
Alex's reaction was understandable because, in just the last few hours, he had experienced one after another surprising event, from battling a special grade world Boss to receiving a unique seal of the Dragon Monarch.
Finding possibly the Best healer Category Legacy of the highest caliber to
pretty much receiving a World Grade quest, a thing of legend.
"Elder, Do you know the history of what happened after the death of Empress Aelrie and the World Tree," Alex asked, taking a few deep breaths to calm his ruffled emotions.
"Domain Ruler, I can tell you about the history, but for now, you should focus on your Rank promotion Quest,"
"As for repairing the legacy staff, You will need pure life energy, and you can collect some from the core of the Dryad."
"To collect the energy from the core, you just need to touch it with the magic staff, and it will do the rest, but it would be a waste of a rare item if you use it in such a way." Lady Margaret said, vanishing back into thin air.
'Lady Margaret is right. I need to focus on completing my Rank Promotion quest,' Alex thought as he walked toward the Dryad Corpse.
Alex collected the loot, consisting of a few unique grade items, with the only legendary being a crystal white ball that was the core he took out to examine.
??????????
Name: Royal Dryad Core
Material: Ingredient/Forging Metal
Quality: Legendary
Grade: UnRanked
Effect: Consuming the core will grant the Player 1K to 10K permanent Vitality stat points.
Description: A core belonging to one of the beloved daughters of Nature carrying within the pure essence of Vitality.
The core could be used as the base of the Alchemy furnace to act as a purifier to enhance the quality of any potion concocted in it or could be used as the core of a weapon of Life element to vastly enhance its capabilities.
??????????
'If I find a few more wild things, my brain will start to question the reality,' Alex thought, placing the core into his secured inventory.
'I am 100% certain that recovering this staff will be an arduous challenge, same as the necros legacy, but I do hope I am wrong.' Alex thought, calming his emotions.
'I will search for a way to recover the staff in the future, but for Now, let's keep my focus on completing my Rank Promotion quest.' Alex thought, placing the staff into his inventory.
Alex left the area after selecting a part of the forest with a vast amount of wandering third Rank creatures that would help him complete the remaining requirement of his Rank promotion quest.
