“Excellent. Now, how should I spend my points? Hawk! Tell me my options!” Elliot instructed his AI eagerly after he had made sure that his sisters were warm and comfortable atop Winter.

“Everything is so expensive!” Elliot sighed. “I definitely have to get one of the beast transformations. And I definitely want the Large Mystery Box. And I want to invest 10 points in my personal stats. So that’s forty points. So I am able to get two out of the four skills. Alright, I’ve decided!

[Received 1x Large Attribute Candy]

Elliot’s jaw dropped so fast when he saw the first item that he almost dislocated it.

“Giant Armored Mammoth? What the heck is that? A mammoth is already huge! This one is a giant? AND armored?? My luck is amazing! Amazing!!” Elliot sighed contentedly. “Hawk! How big is the Giant Armored Mammoth?”

[The Giant Armored Mammoth is eight meters tall and weighs forty thousand kilograms.]

“HA HA HA! Perfect! Perfect!! With this skill, I now have no worries about surviving the Apocalypse. I AM SET!”

Elliot was so ecstatic that his happiness spilled into his tamed beasts’ mind space.

“Hmm? Why are you so happy, Little Master?” Brock asked as he cantered along at a steady pace.

“Master? Happy?” Ellie yawned from within Jessica’s arms.

“Ahahahaha, it’s nothing. I just got something wonderful. Don’t mind me, don’t mind me. Hahahaha!” Elliot laughed happily.

“Good. I hope it’s something that can help us take down that stupid monkey.” Brock grunted.

Elliot merely chuckled mysteriously and continued his inner dialogue with Hawk the AI.

“Hawk, consume both Large Attribute Candies and assign attributes to Reflexes and Strength.”

[Acknowledged.]

[Received 0.8 Strength!]

[Received 0.8 Reflexes!]

“Excellent. Now show me my stats and let me bask in all its wonderful glory!”

“Mwa ha ha ha ha! Now I am strong! I am powerful!! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!” Elliot cackled happily in his “public” mind space where his beasts could all hear him. He was quite oblivious that he sounded like a madman, much to the consternation of Winter and Brock.

“Now all that’s left for me to test is the Beast Transformation and the Summon Giant Armored Mammoth skill! Ah, what a wonderful feeling it is to FINALLY have so many things going well for me’|” Elliot sighed and laid down on Brock’s broad back in relief and in deep contentment.

After a lifetime of worry, pressure, and hopelessness, Elliot’s current condition was so comparatively blissful that he felt like a huge load was taken off his shoulders.

For the first time in many loong years, he felt peace.

He closed his eyes. And very soon, he fell asleep.

NGROOORK! NGROOORK!

And snored.

“His luck is absolutely off the charts.” Monkey King muttered. “I feel bad for the other Diamond Sponsors. This feels too’| unfair.”

“HAHA! You morose old monkey. Who cares about fairness when we have a huge bet in place!” Void Walker laughed ecstatically. Ever since Elliot was reverse time walked, her mood and spirits had been rising non-stop and it wasn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

“Truly, truly incredible.” Monkey King sighed. “A Giant Armored Mammoth is a Legendary Grade beast that cannot be found on planet Earth!”

“What?! Legendary? Hey, even I am jealous of that skill. How on earth are you able to sneak in a system that allows him to learn legendary summons past the Game Masters? I thought they were pretty strict on such things.” Void Walker asked curiously.

“I made the Mystery Box draw from an extremely huge pool of items and sneaked in a few legendary summons in there.” Monkey King chuckled. “The Giant Armored Mammoth is one of the best legendary skills I have. It’s so powerful that it isn’t even among the list of beasts which would be released on Earth by the Game Masters.”
