After burying the demon''s dead body within the range of the illusion formation, borrowing its power to conceal what urred as to not leave behind any suspicion.


    With that, and after cleaning the signs of the battle and the ck blood that was spurted by the demon assassin, I quickly confirmed that all the evidences were erased.


    At this point, my tension rxed a bit as Iid on the grass while staring into the bright blue sky, now that the important battle that actually only went on for a few minutes only had ended, it was time to n my next move.


    After all, I ended up raising my level by a grand total of 41 levels, while the increase in my fighting ability was even more terrifying, albeit incurring a fatal danger in the very end which was resolved in the very end, this meant that my grand leveling n had mostly shown outstanding sess, but this also meant that my nned ahead has finally caught up with my present, it was time for another deep thinking session…


    ''Should I enter the concealed gate regardless of danger with my current strength and put my life on the line to further develop my level and abilities?''


    ''Should I return to Starry Night City and lead a leisurely life as the savior of the genius party?''


    ''Or should I just go seek some hiding ce to live through the next 9 years? It does seem quite possible with my current strength…''


    Soon, after 5 minutes has passed,I opened my eyes.


    Countless thoughts passed through my head, even useless ones, or inly stupid ones that indulged in escapsim…..


    However, I had already decided on the cornerstones of my following path!


    My number one purpose in the game as an overall is obviously survival, which lead to another purpose, namely ''bing stronger'', but even then, a life that only moved on these wheels would only be the life of battle maniac, while I wanted to be a survivalist, my whole life simply couldn''t be a life of running around to find ways of getting stronger while risking my life that I initially wanted to be stronger to protect, I didn''t want to be such a paradoxical being!


    So I decided to follow fate and opportunities! Slightly risking a bit to gain more along the way is okay as well, I also didn''t want to be a coward as much as I didn''t want to be an extremist!


    Simr to how I used the opportunity of the oppression directed to Starry Night City to my own advantage, hatching the leveling n of mine, transfering danger and tyranny into an EP pack, I wanted to follow through with my 10 years game life in a simr way!


    It might seem like quite the normal option that usual yers choose or something that just seems right without thinking, but to me I needed to reaffirm my stance so as to only take firm footsteps into my future path!


    Of course, the Two-Floor Gate seems like quite an opportunity, but at its current danger grade, it''s more like a honey trap, so I decided to put it as the second choice in my list of opportunities.


    While the first choice would of course be the only quest on my quest list…


    [ Sudden quest! ''Join the Lightning knight brigade'' is now in progress. ]


    The quest that I had received due to the rmendation scroll that I obtained from the mysterious ''Blue Beard'' who no longer had a beard thest time I saw him, was in actuality a major opportunity!


    [ Quest: Join the Lightning knight Brigade!


    Description: you have been granted a rmendation scroll from a person of authority, the first step is already cleared for you, join the ''ss'' trial and attain a ''ss'' of at least special rank.


    Reward:


    1. Unlocking a ''ss''.


    2. Officially granted a general position within the brigade. ]


    ss trial!


    Unlike normal games, there was no ss assigning option at the very start of the game nor there was a ss assigning quest in the tutorial vige, however, I had encountered a ss assigning quest right off the bat at the very beginning in the normal phase, yet I didn''t actively start it for two reasons.


    Firstly, I was busy with the other leveling plot which threw itself at me. And secondly, there was actually a standard time at which one could truly start the quest.


    [ Quest Initiation period: 30 day


    Time passed: 22 days


    Time left: 8 days ]


    Consequently, the time to start this quest still had more than a week before it expired, which I had already put in my mind as the most possible target after I was done with the leveling plot.


    The rewards were quitevish after all, so it was time to head to the Lightning Capital!
