Chapter 60: Death Genesis
[Special Reward Granted.]
[You have received: Trial Wish Card ×5.]
Kaiser looked at the five cards that appeared in front of him.
Each card was covered with strange silver runes.
"What are these?"
A description appeared immediately.
[Trial Wish Card]
[Description: A special reward obtained after completing an exceptional Class Trial.]
[Effect: Each card can be used to obtain one item, ability, resource, technique, or other obtainable reward that existed within the completed Trial World.]
[The chosen reward will be transferred from the Trial World into the real world.]
Kaiser’s eyes immediately lit up.
"Anything from the trial world?"
He quickly understood how valuable these cards were.
During his trial, he had obtained countless treasures.
He had also learned many powerful techniques and spells.
There were resources that could no longer be found in the real world.
There were also powerful undead and special items that had existed only inside the trial world.
With these five cards, he could bring five things from that world into reality.
Kaiser smiled.
"Five wishes."
"That’s more useful than most treasures."
He carefully stored the five Trial Wish Cards.
He wasn’t going to use them immediately.
He had spent more than a hundred years inside the trial world.
There were countless things he needed to consider before deciding what would be most valuable in the real world.
Kaiser then looked at the final notification.
[You have retained your SS-Rank Talent: Flames of the Soulless.]
[You have retained five of the spells you learned during the Class Trial.]
[You have acquired the following spells:]
[Tier 9: Death World]
[Tier 6: Grand Imperial Spectral Nemesis Knight]
[Tier 8: Reaper of Devastation]
[Tier 4: Moon Scythe]
[Tier 9: Hands of Hades]
[You have retained your weapon: Scythe of Blessed Death.]
[Class Trial Complete.]
[You have successfully cleared the Class Trial and obtained your new class.]
[You are now being removed from the Trial Space.]
The next second, Kaiser opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of the Class Trial gate.
He removed his hand from it.
"Hmm, I wonder how much time has passed."
He looked around for a moment before climbing the stairs back up.
As he reached the top, the stone gate slowly slid back into its original position, hiding the Class Trial gate once again.
When Kaiser stepped outside, he saw Alex and the others sitting some distance away.
The sound of his footsteps caught their attention.
Everyone looked back and saw Kaiser walking toward them.
"Oh, you woke up. Good. We were waiting for you," Alex said as he stopped and threw a small bottle of water toward Kaiser, which he caught.
"Damn, my legs hurt. I feel like I haven’t used them in years," Kaiser said as he stretched his legs.
"You were out for a while. It’s been almost a week since we woke up, and according to Marina, it’s been almost a month for us," Alex explained.
"Thankfully, she informed our families while we were unconscious. She also told him about the class trial, so my father knows about it too. He covered for us," Alex continued, pointing around them.
Kaiser looked around and noticed a large dome-like barrier surrounding the area.
"Is that a veil?" he asked.
Alex nodded.
"Yeah. A class matter is important, after all, so we had to hide it."
Kaiser nodded in understanding.
"Anyway, what happened to you? Why did it take you so much longer to wake up?" Alex asked.
Alicia and the others also turned toward Kaiser, waiting for his answer.
"The trial was difficult after all. I survived for ten years in another world," Kaiser replied.
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"You know, it was one of those long survival trials."
Alex and Alicia both blinked.
"No way. We entered the same trial, but we only had to survive for five years."
"Why was your time almost twice as long?"
Alicia’s eyes widened as she looked at Kaiser.
"Don’t tell me you secretly selected the highest difficulty," she asked.
Kaiser lowered his head.
"You fucking idiot! What if you had died?"
"Your mother is already devastated after your father. What do you think would have happened if you had also fallen into a coma or, even worse, died?"
As she spoke, Alicia grabbed Kaiser by the ears and twisted them nearly 360 degrees. For the first time, the former demigod was being manhandled like a child.
"Ow! Alicia, let go!"
Alex sighed before adding,
"Yeah. Even if you were wary of your low potential beast..... I mean, you could have chosen a weaker trial instead of something dangerous like that."
Marina also looked at Kaiser with a worried expression.
"Master, there was no need to put yourself in such danger."
Kaiser could only sigh as he looked at everyone around him.
"Alright, alright. I’m sorry."
He raised his hands in surrender.
"I’m sorry for worrying all of you."
Alicia finally released his ears.
"You better be."
Kaiser rubbed his ears and nodded.
"Yes, ma’am."
"Let’s just leave. We can talk about the classes we obtained once we get home. Our families are also worried," Alex said as he stood up.
Kaiser and the others nodded.
"You’re right. Let’s leave. We can check out each other classes tomorrow," Alicia said.
The group began making their way home.
Before they could leave, however, Alex’s father, Guild Master Bill, stopped them and asked them to sign an NDA regarding the class trial.
The agreement legally bound them to keep the details of the trial and the information they had obtained from it confidential.
Kaiser also received a 60% share of the earnings that would be generated from the class trial.
After all, he was the one who had discovered the trial, and Alex had vouched for him.
Without Alex supporting him, along with their friendship and Kaiser’s familiarity with Alex’s father, Bill, Kaiser would have been lucky to receive even 10% of the profits.
That was also why, despite discovering the trial, Marina never revealed it to anyone else.
She knew that guild would either exploit her or simply skim her share of the profits, especially since there were no class trials in their city or even in the surrounding cities.
