[You have killed the Boss of the trial.]

[You have obtained 2000 XP.]

[You have leveled up.]

[To level up, you will need 5000 XP.]

Aiden noticed that as he leveled up, the experience would also increase, but it wasn't proportional. It kept increasing in an exponential manner which caused a longer time spent on each level.

Who knew how much XP he would need on level 20?

'Why is it so long to level up?' 

But if anyone heard about what he had just thought, they would have started coughing up blood. His speed at which he was going to level up was incredible and there were probably not many who were level 14 after finishing only the second trial.

Usually, it would take the third or even the fourth in some cases.

But he quickly dismissed those thoughts as a sudden message appeared in front of him.

Seeing the message, Aiden knew that he would soon be sent back to the waiting room just like in the first trial.

But he didn't know if it was going to happen right away...

*BEEP*

[You will be sent to the Reward Room in 5 seconds.]

The system which seemed omniscient kind of replied to him with this notification.

Five seconds later, the body that Aiden was occupying didn't disappear in particles since it wasn't his. 

Only his mind was separated from the body as he was now in an astral form watching over the body he occupied for the trial.

He couldn't move freely as a portal appeared right in front of him which sent him to the Reward Room which just like previously looked just like the waiting room.

His mind was sent back into his body and took over it.

Arriving there, Aiden waited to get the rewards from the trial and was excited about it, he couldn't wait to get stronger and those rewards were the best way for him to get stronger.

After all, he knew that completing this trial had given him access to Assassin-Related Skills, but he couldn't believe that was going to be the only thing that he was going to get out of this long trial.

He wasn't even on a team for the trial, this surely needed to increase his rewards even if they were already quite high, to begin with.

As he started to think about his rewards, the system started sending messages.

*BEEP*

[By completing the Trial Objective flawlessly, you have only obtained 3000 XP as you already have a massive reward that had never been given to anyone.]

*BEEP*

[No other rewards will be given as the access given to you is a major reward that has replaced the ones which you would normally be given to you.]

The system was obviously talking about the Assassin-Related Skills that he would now have access to.

Seeing what the system had just sent him, Aiden was obviously unhappy but he understood that what he had just gained was massive and that it was a reward that the system had never expected to give him.

He could probably have access to other Class-Related Skills with other trials which would make him truly powerful by having access to so many skills in the future.

But who knew what the future held for him?

Knowing that he wouldn't get anything thinking about this, he then decided that maybe it was time for him to apply his stats which is exactly what he did.

'Status'

[Aiden Nightshade]

[Level 14]

[Health: 150]

[Mana: 10]

[Race: Human]

[Body: ???]

[Class: None]

[Strength: 5]

[Agility: 4]

[Dexterity: 4]

[Defense: 1]

[Stamina: 3]

[Charm: 5]

[Unallocated Stat Points: 0]

[Equipment]

[Shadow Strike Dagger]

[Return Stone]

[Skills]

[Shadow Strike: A strike which cannot be seen by the enemy except when the enemy has a higher Charm. It cost three Mana Points to activate. It is linked with the [Shadow Strike Dagger].] 

[Shadow Steps Lvl.MAX(Passive)]

[Dagger mastery Lvl.3 (Passive)]

[Gentle Touch Lvl.1 (Active Skill), Cost: 0 MP)

[Mind of an Assassin Lvl.1(Active skill), Cost: 0 MP]

He decided to put two points in his charm since one of his skills' efficiency actually depended on it, and he also put one point in Dexterity and two points in Stamina.

He decided to ignore the Defense Stat for the moment because he thought that he could simply dodge the attacks coming to him.

It was his confidence in his skills that made him able to make this choice.

He had also noticed that a one-point increase had indeed appeared in his strength.

But the thing that really caught his eye was a new category that just appeared which was called [Body].

He had no information about it and when he asked the system, he had simply no information which meant that this was another thing that he would have to ask Maelis.

Having no other rewards to check out, he started disappearing in particles just like in the first trial.

Suddenly, he appeared in the room that he had last left, the room where he had been unable to learn the Assassin-Related Skill.

He noticed that he was all alone there as Maelis had obviously left during the time that he was away, but as soon as he started moving, beeping sounds could be heard. It seemed like there were movement detectors in this room as it was important for this middle-level family since it contained all their techniques.

Hearing the alarm, Aiden didn't panic since he had nothing to be scared of. In fact, Maelis probably told someone in the guild that someone would appear there in the week to come.

But he still couldn't be sure, so he simply went toward the wall and waited for someone to open the weird door in front of him which Maelis had opened with a weird combination when he had first gotten here. 

After a few minutes, Aiden started hearing footsteps which indicated that many people were coming over there and not only Maelis.

'Did she actually forget to tell people that I had taken the second trial in here?' thought Aiden, laughing by himself when he heard the voice of a guard from the other side of the door.
