<h4>Chapter 176: [ STATUS! ]</h4>
A single system announcement made the entire New Leaf yer base tremble with excitement.
[The Devil Has Been Defeated! Issuing Rewards!]
The ones who had participated in the Event were incredibly hopeful, while the ones that hadn''t gossiped as they awaited the reveal.
It would be different for everyone, and this was especially the case for Jack. He was snickering on the side, looking at his messages.
The system was about to write a novel just to analyze this one Event!

As soon as Jack saw thest lines, he gave a triumphant smile. There it freaking was! It was the legendary "Congrattions, you broke the fucking game" reward screen!!!
Heck, this was way better than a perfect score! At this point, even the system didn''t know how to deal with the issue. Now he just had to cross his fingers.
"Please make it be something game-breaking!" Jack inwardly chanted over and over.
He held his breath, looking way more intense than he had been during the actual apocalypse level event!
To him, the earlier fight had just been that, a single challenge to add to a long list. But this would possibly affect his entire development.

[Demon King: The higher the fear, the higher the power!]
That''s where the flurry of notifications ended. At this moment, Jack didn''t even bother to hide his joy as he began tough madly.
"Muahahaha!" He was as happy as a kitty that had eaten catnip brownies.
Hisugh echoed in the ins, making every yer turn toward him and stare in shock. What kind of reward had he obtained to rejoice so much?!
"Holy shit!"
"It''s the first time I see him like that!"
"Whatever he received, I bet it''s super crazy!"
Jack heard thatstment and gave a knowing smile. Super crazy didn''t even begin to cover it!
Life skills, attributes, and passives? Always great to have!
The resilience attribute, for instance, was as difficult to unlock as the leadership or courage stats. It was especially helpful to resist spells.
Summoning bonuses? Awesome! This would go nicely with the spells in the Necrocluckonomicon for sure!
Level up? More than wonderful!
It wasn''t supposed to be possible to level above level 10 in the Tutorial, so this was a big deal! Then again, it wasn''t supposed to be possible to summon a Devil either.
Gaining two ranks of me Maniption was a huge leap! This represented countless uses of the skill; Rank E was the equivalent of the skill being level 20, fucking twice the max Tutorial level!
The new Blessing of the Hunt was an amazing passive that would certainlye in handy. This had straight been the devil''s power!
The new runic symbol would allow him to pimp his Infinite Cloak and increase "drip"!
His new titles had so much potential too. The most notables ones were:
1. Call of the Void: This could have unexpected cheese potential
2. An Army?: The damage potential was great. He foughtrge groups so often that it would certainlye in handy!
3. Demon King: This one would let him feed on the fear of his opponents to be stronger, as devils would. This one was by far the best!
Then there was the whole fucking Devilish Demonic Soul thingy.
A new race and ss?! Both were EPIC and had insane growth potential!
Getting this opportunity so early in the game was madness! It would allow one to snowball so hard! All Infinite yers would have died of jealousy had they known.
[Would you like to change Race / ss Y/N?]
"No fucking way, you can keep it!"
Jack instantly rejected it. Sure Demonic Human was powerful and all, but he was freaking done with humans. It was so boring!
His new motto was:
Reject Humanity —> Embrace Undeath!
As for the agent ss, it just didn''t fit his ystyle. Agents were too low on the totem pole for his tastes. One would have to revere Devils to gain power: fuck that!
Then there was the Demon''s King aspect.
Then there was the freaking DEMON KING''S ASPECT!!!!
It was that big of a deal. It would read weapon, but it was actually an ability that allowed one to use demonic energy to generate an ultimate weapon at a cost.
1. It was hard to use
2. It was hard to upgrade
3. It was hard not to ughter countless yers while wielding one!
Without waiting, he quickly summoned it. The florist nearby couldn''t help but gasp in shock and awe as he felt the incredible energy emitted by the invocation.
The poor NPC was shaking, his heart about to explode from the excitement. He could feel how incredible this would be! The earlier events were nothing inparison to this!
Then it appeared, in all its magnificence and all its incredible power. It shone with a dark luster, its surface darker than a ck hole and seemingly absorbing all light around.
The florist could barely resist his urges to pounce on the amazing weapon. He was already giving puppy eyes toward the devilishly handsome man that had summoned it.
Even CPR dude by the side couldn''t help but praise wholeheartedly:
"Damn! That''s a nice toothpick!" He gave a thumbs up.
Yep, besides the florist, no one had realized how amazing it was. Jack had summoned a very tiny ck toothpick. It looked pretty cute. As for using it to ughter people? Perhaps it could pierce sandwiches.
But Jack didn''t discount it for he knew its secret:
Current power: 0
Potential power: ∞
This was a soul-bound weapon. As long as he didn''t lose his ount, he would always have it with him.
He would just have to turn it into the mightiest, most legendary toothpick ever! Hell, one day bards would sing about it!
There was just one thing left. He gave a grin as he eagerly whispered the magic word: Status.
That''s when he could finally gaze upon the progress he had made ever since joining the game. This was all the result of his hard work!

There were a few points to note:
1. Basic stats had increased a lot!
2. The extra stats had slowly risen as well.
3. His armor rating had stayed the same but the % lowered since it was now showing for level 15
4. Walking Cmity F….What the fuck was that? No matter how much Jack racked his brain, he couldn''t remember this. Had he perhaps gotten this during the party?
But that''s when an announcement came, one that would change Infinite forever. Jack knew what this meant: he really had to leave the Tutorial ASAP!
