When the battle between Aakesh and the soul controlling the tribe leader was about to start, out of nowhere, a blue screen appeared and upgraded the quest.

[Adventurer, the knowledge you brought from the outside world had helped you recognize the situation!

The tribe leader needs your help before she gets devoured by the tainted soul.

Defeat the tainted soul and free the tribe leader.

Your reward shall see a random increase.]

[Warning: Be mindful of the result. The failure penalty of the previous quest still exists. If you fail to protect the tribe leader and she gets devoured, you will die and see a reduction of ten levels.]

The quest had gotten upgraded, with his reward seeing a random increase. The warning from the previous mission still existed and remained the same.

“Thank you for saving my tribe! We shall forever be indebted to you,” The tribe leader bowed and sincerely thanked Aakesh.

The tribe leader had mixed expressions on her face as she was worried about what she had heard from the golden grass. But she soon calmed down and only thought about the gratefulness she had toward the adventurer since she didn’t want her thanks toward him to be half-hearted.

“Here is your reward,” The tribe leader further added.

The next moment, a wave of invisible energy engulfed Aakesh. As quick as it had come, it had gone.

Aakesh couldn’t help but get surprised as he checked the amount of XP he had gained from the tribe leader.

When he had received the quest, the reward was a trillion XP, with it seeing an increase if Aakesh completed the additional task. Now that he had completed the mission objective after it saw an upgrade, he obtained 10 to the power 108 XPs.

The amount of XP needed by Aakesh to Level up was more than 10 to the power of 230, so it was nothing but taking out a bucket of water from the ocean. But considering the previous reward with it, Aakesh had earned a lot. The several thousand golden grass buds were also left for Aakesh to root out and make a fortune from them.

“I think you should meet with other tribe leaders as whoever planted the bud had no good intentions toward your tribes,” Aakesh expressionlessly told the tribe leader, and then without waiting for her response, he turned around and left.

***

Aakesh activated the skill, Energy Overseer, as he looked around to search all the buds planted in these parts of the Dark Forest.

In no time, thousands of colorless light dots appeared in Aakesh’s sight.

Time flew by.

Aakesh threw all the buds he had collected into his space ring.

It has only been a few hours since Aakesh had appeared in Panagea. Since his day in Panagea was long from over, Aakesh decided to go on a killing spree and earn some XPs.

Seconds turned into a minute, minutes turned into an hour, and just like that, several hours had passed.

“Hey, system, how much time has been left before the sunrise in Visteerna?” Aakesh asked the system. He currently stood in a land wet with the blood of those who got killed in his hands.

[Host, one hour and sixteen minutes is left before the sunrise in Visteerna!]

The system’s mechanical and emotionless response rang in Aakesh’s head.

Aakesh nodded. He then stopped his killing spree since it was now time for him to make use of his class as he had been doing the same every day for the past few decades.

Aakesh then chose a random direction and proceeded forward since he would have more chances to come across a fortunate event when the number of inhabitants in the range was abundant.

Time flew by.

After traveling for thirteen minutes and killing a few Level 240+ creatures, Aakesh finally came across a settlement where a civilization lived.

The settlement consisted of many races but under an umbrella of an organization.

It was one of the branches of the organization, but since it was also one of the markets in the Dark Forest, the people living there were no less than what lived in large cities.

 Aakesh paid the entrance fee and entered the stronghold with a residence card.

Time flew by.

The hour finally arrived.

Aakesh first activated the skill, Universal Eye. The next moment, a virtual 3D real-time projection of the radius of eight Yojana appeared in front of him.

(A/N: One Yojana= 8 miles.)

Aakesh didn’t stop there and soon activated another skill, Fortune Eye. The next moment, a new virtual projection on top of the previous one appeared in front of Aakesh. It only covered the range of one Yojana.

In the new projection, all the people in the range of one Yojana with Aakesh at its center appeared. Every living person in the projection had three lines signifying their fortune.

Aakesh then started searching for a suitable candidate as the better the event, the greater his rewards.

Time flew by.

The one hour put by Aakesh for his class every day came to an end. Like most of the days, Aakesh only found a few people with fortunate events, and the most he won from an event, was three million XPs.

At the end of the hour, the sun also rose in Visteerna. The system also informed Aakesh about it since it was now time for him to open the store.

Since Aakesh didn’t have something very significant going on in Panagea, Aakesh decided to leave and not waste any time since the customers must have been waiting outside the store.

The next moment, Aakesh disappeared from Panagea and appeared in the store.

Aakesh first went for his bath and then finally opened the store. As usual, a large crowd of customers welcomed his sight.

Aakesh moved away from the door, turned around, and returned to his chair, while the customers entered the store like a raging tide.
