Chapter 253 253 - Change
Then as he opened his system, he made sure to verify that he really had gotten more skillslots and he couldn't but be pleasantly surprised that it actually was the case.
He knew that the skills which he had either learned or created weren't counted in those, but it was still nice to see that he would be able to learn a lot more skills which would as a result make him a lot stronger.
Then, as he closed his system once again, he heard a beeping sound from the system.
*BEEP*
Hearing that noise, Aiden was already expecting what he would be receiving and without much surprise he was right, it seemed that the system or rather the Lumithars wanted to see him do his fourth trial right now.
[You will be summoned to the Waiting Room in two minutes.]
Reading that message, Aiden had no choice but to inform Melinda that he would be disappearing right about now.
"It seems that the system contacted me once again," Aiden uttered out of nowhere.
Melinda who was seemingly distracted heard this and immediately became extremely confused over this whole matter.
She knew that the system was holding him high, but for them to contact him right after she had delivered their message, she had to admit that it was quite weird even if she knew that Aiden was insanely talented.
However, if she found the situation weird, she kept her mouth shut as she knew that she had no place in doubting the system's choices and that she simply needed to follow them or else there would obviously be consequences.
"I'll be summoned for my fourth trial in around one minute, so I guess you'll need to keep my dagger and the rest of my rewards from the Inter Family Tournament safe for when I come back," Aiden continued, still thinking about Thorin, the blacksmith who was doing who knows what at the moment.
Then, as he finished that sentence he heard another beeping sound inside his mind.
*BEEP*
[You will be summoned in thirty seconds.]
Seeing this, Aiden made sure that he had everything for the trial ready as he looked at his equipment and all that stuff as he wasn't sure how this fourth trial would be proceeding.
Then, as the time started to go down, Melinda seemed to realize something as she looked toward Aiden extremely worried about this whole thing.
"Wait, did you just say the fourth trial?" she muttered, having a sudden thought.
The way in which she had just uttered that was quite worrying for Aiden who started seeing the timer in front of him go down second by second.
There were now only 10 seconds as Melinda started speaking insanely fast, trying to give Aiden all the information that he would need for the trial.
"The fourth trial isn't like the rest of the trials that you did before, you won't be incarnating anyone. You will actually have to build a reputation in the world in which you will be arriving. Try to get the attention from the strongest over there and don't get in..."
Then, before she could finish everything that she had to say, she noticed that Aiden had started turning into particles which meant that he wouldn't be able to hear her either way as he wasn't even in Nova anymore.
He was in the waiting room, a room specially created by the system which Aiden had visited a few times.
However, who knew if that information would be useful as Aiden wasn't like her, he knew that this trial would be a special one given by the system which would be related to the class which is Enchanter.
He didn't know how he would perform as one since he had never done something like that in the past, however, he couldn't help but imagine it and he had to admit that it was going to be quite different, not acting like some person who needs to hide all those secrets.
'So, I won't play a role this time, huh?' Aiden thought, feeling joy while feeling disappointment as he knew that he would have to be himself this time.
He remembered the last trial where he had been able to feel what it was like to be the strongest and the last time well he had simply incarnated an assassin which wasn't that different from his usual self.
Then, as he looked around in that white room which was without any decorations or anything for that matter except white walls which blinded his eyes.
"I guess, it won't be so bad. But, wait if I don't need to incarnate into someone, couldn't I simply continue being an assassin and finish the trial this way," Aiden muttered, realizing that maybe it would be an actual option.
However, as he finished saying that he heard a beeping sound once again.
*BEEP*
[You will not be able to do that.]
Aiden reading this couldn't help but show a faint smile as he realized that the system was able to know what he was thinking of and he also realized that the Lumithars as Melinda called them were here with him right now watching his every move.
Then, another message quickly appeared in front of him, showing him that the trial would soon be starting.
However, that wasn't the only thing that he was able to understand about this message, it seemed that Melinda hadn't lied, there would be a change this fourth trial, but it seemed that it wasn't completely like she had said.
[For this trial, you won't be incarnating something or rather stealing someone else's body. You will need to prove your skills by yourself, by achieving something called <Reputation> which will be the currency for you to buy rewards at the end of this trial.]
[This fourth trial won't be anything like you experienced before as there won't be an actual enemy that you will need to beat. The only enemy that you will face is yourself.]
