"It’s a shame I didn’t bring more containers with me; if I could take all of this, I’d be set for years to come; after all, Purely Condensed Particle Water is a prime ingredient for SOOO many things."

"Although it’s only Alpha Grade, it is more than sufficient to curb the effects of Particle Suppression so long as I constantly consume it in regular intervals." Shrugging my shoulders, I began the long process of repeatedly refilling empty jugs and water bottles; hell, I even had several 5-gallon containers previously used to bathe, which I could fill up.

One after another, I continuously dipped empty containers into the small lake of crystal clear water until they were full before swapping to a new one and repeating the process.

By the time I finished the last one of my empty containers, I realized I hadn’t even made a slight dent in the total volume of liquid and couldn’t help but shake my head ruefully.

Since it was entirely random as to which environment you’d end up in when you crushed an instance token, there was no way for me to know if I was entering one with a substantial body of Particle water, so it wasn’t like I could prepare specifically for such a situation.

The fact that I even had anything to store the water in, to begin with, was out of sheer luck and, well…forgetfulness. To be honest, every bottle and jug I had spent the last hour filling could be considered trash, and I hadn’t gotten around to throwing it out, so the stars happened to align, giving me this fruitful opportunity.

Still, part of me wanted to chastise myself for not being prepared for the one-in-a-thousand chance one of these mysterious natural formations would be placed in the lobby of my sole ++ Instance Token.

"Heh, oh well, there’s no point crying over spilled milk…or uh, vast amounts of particle water..." smacking my lips, I looked out over the still water for another moment before bringing up my display panel and checking the contents of my inventory.

In total, I had amassed around 60 gallons of particle water, and if used properly, there wouldn’t be a single battle in the next three years in which I wouldn’t be able to boost myself to my peak condition.

However, before I could even find out how much of said water I had obtained, a small, alright, massive issue appeared, and that was the insane amount of unorganized or cataloged SHIT filling up all 18 pages in my inventory.

Now, I know I have a bad habit of throwing just about everything into my inventory without giving it a second glance for months on end; however, when I realized I had unlocked an additional nine pages from the last time I looked, my brain momentarily short-circuited.

Apparently, during my "auto-pilot Slaughter fest," I had unlocked several more pages at the astronomical price of 1500 High-Alpha Coins a page, making my heart bleed.

It wasn’t like I didn’t know the how or why, considering that whole unlock a new page thing stemmed from a habit I formed back in the origin timeline; it’s just in that state of mind I ignored the stupid inflated cost of things and ended up wasting a VAST sum of money without blinking.

With my left eye twitching due to anxiety, I swiftly organized my inventory. Of course, as a true-blooded American, I began dumping anything I considered trash onto the ground of the lobby, uncaring about what happened after I left. By the end of it, surprisingly enough, I had opened up all of a grand total of… two freaking pages, making my heart hurt further as it was a sign that my loot goblin tendencies hadn’t gotten any better over time.

The first two pages of my inventory were PRIMO, filled with expensive potions and high-end drops from my kills; after that were three pages of survival gear, including food and necessities. But after that, it was a metric fuck ton of monster parts and materials.

Any other time would be awesome, considering there are many different ways to offload them in the Origin Timeline; however, in the past…that wasn’t the case.

Without a trading platform, the materials would inevitably end up wasting space for years until Arkadia descended and the "Grand Exchange," as it was eventually dubbed, opened up.

Scratching my cheek, I rolled my eyes before navigating away from my inventory with a heavy heart and opening up the event quests.

It was finally time to claim the rewards I had been saving up, especially one that I had achieved over a year ago.

{Quest Two: Early to the Past (Chain Quest).}

{Each time you complete one of the sub-quests, you will receive a randomized reward, and upon completion of the overall quest, you will receive a generous reward.}

{Q2-A: Reach the peak of No-Rank before 1000 Earthlings have Returned to the past.} (Complete)

{Q2-B: Advance to Alpha-Rank before 2000 Earthlings have returned to the past.} (Complete)

{Q2-C: Improve your Talent Rank to Alpha before 3000 Earthlings have returned to the past.} (Complete)

{Q2-D: Reach the Peak of Alpha-Rank before 4000 Earthlings have returned to the past.}

{Q2-E: Breakthrough to Beta-Rank before the final Earthling has returned to the past.}

{Earthlings returning to the past: 1003/5000}

"Arkadia, Claim Event Quest Rewards," uttering the basic command, my display panel flooded with notifications, causing my mouth to drop open and a ringing sound to fill my ears.

There were many things I had predicted could be given as potential rewards, money, potions, hell, even Instance Tokens…but if what I was reading was real…then I just hit the freaking jackpot.

The logical part of my brain recognized that Arkadia didn’t lie and would follow through with everything it ever said, but what I was seeing was too unrealistic and, to my knowledge, wasn’t something that was supposed to be possible.

While the rewards for the first two subquests were good hell even amazing, it was instead the single item showing as the reward for the Third Subquest, that set me into an excited fit.

{Q2-A Reward: …}

{Q2-B Reward: …}

{Q2-C Reward: ...}
