Apocalypse Cheater



While the revelation behind Cecilia's reasons for confidence was revealed, Daniel was spending his own time in his bedroom, admiring his current progress in power after yesterday's sex with his mother. 

As Daniel's gaze fixated on the brilliant blue projection of the holographic inventory screen, his eyes scanned the myriad of items, each holding its own allure.

Yet, one particular item stood out amidst the digital sea of options, a prize so tantalizing that it could drive players to compete relentlessly for it.

That coveted item was none other than the enigmatic Mysterious Box.

What exactly was this Mysterious Box?

It was a Pandora's box of unexplainable and infinite possibilities, a treasure trove of untold wonders awaiting those bold enough to seek it out.

In essence, the Mysterious Box represented a gamble with fate, a leap into the unknown.

Opening it held the potential to bestow upon the player a reward of unparalleled value, one that could elevate their abilities to the pinnacle of their potential.

Furthermore, the allure of the Mysterious Box lies in its unpredictability.

Players weren't granted the luxury of choosing their reward, it was a lottery of fate, determined solely by the capricious hand of Luck.

However, what made it all the more intriguing was that even the most modest grade or rarity of reward from the box possessed the potential to incite unparalleled jealousy and rivalry among the players.

"I've heard stories," Daniel mused aloud, his eyes still fixed on the holographic display, "of players who, by sheer luck, obtained rewards from the Mysterious Box that transformed them into some of the most formidable beings in this virtual world."

He recalled vivid memories of these players, wielding the rewards they'd acquired from the Mysterious Box to devastating effect, wreaking havoc on the monstrous denizens of this digital realm.

In particular, one instance stood out, a player known as 'The Monkey's King,' who wielded a legendary weapon bestowed by the Mysterious Box known as the 'Golden Rod.'

It was a spectacle of power and mastery that had left a lasting impression on Daniel, a reminder of the untold potential hidden within the enigmatic box.

The 'Golden Rod' was not just any weapon, it possessed the power to wreak massive, irreversible damage on the virtual surroundings.

It had the capacity to obliterate monsters and adversaries without any apparent limitations.

The sheer destructive force it wielded was awe-inspiring, and it was considered a game-changer in the virtual realm.

Any player fortunate enough to lay their hands on one was virtually guaranteed to obtain a treasure beyond their wildest dreams.

It was a promise of unimaginable power and wealth that drove players to search relentlessly for this elusive item.

But if the possession of a single Mysterious Box was enough to stir the world into a frenzy of ambition and bloodlust, then the question naturally arose, What about Daniel, who possessed not just one, but a staggering ten of these coveted Worldly Treasures?

It was a feat that defied the norms of the virtual world, and Daniel's collection of these enigmatic boxes placed him in a league of his own.

"Previously, I could only dream of holding these boxes in my hands, but now, there are no words for it," Daniel remarked with a contented smirk.

Anticipation and excitement welled up within him as he eagerly looked forward to the rewards he was about to receive.

Without hesitation, he began unlocking the boxes, one by one.

[:10 Mysterious Boxes have been opened successfully. Rewards will be randomly selected. Please wait a moment :]

As he waited for the results, Daniel couldn't help but clench his fist nervously, his entire body tensed with anticipation.

Regardless of how rare the rewards might turn out to be, he knew that their rarity alone would send shockwaves throughout both worlds. 

A Mysterious Box symbolized a remarkable achievement, a record that had never before been achieved or held by any other player.

Consequently, obtaining its rewards was no trivial matter, as they had the potential to propel a player to the pinnacle of the virtual hierarchy.

When the results finally appeared, Daniel's expression froze, not due to disappointment, but because of the overwhelming magnitude of the rewards that lay before him.

His expectation went beyond the roof and he rubbed his eyes ensuring that he wasn't mistaking the sight before him.

[: You have obtained Heart of Yggdrasil (S) :]

[: You have obtained a Nucleus of Nexus Force (S) :]

[: You have obtained a Vial of Jakasaka Bloodline (S) :]

[: You have obtained Skill Book: Metal Conqueror (S) :]

[: You have obtained the Tattoo of Karma (S) :]

[: You have obtained the Black Blade (S) :]

[: You have obtained a Skill Book - Sage Gathering of Mana (S) :]

[: You have obtained an X-Gene Modification cell (S) :]

[: You have obtained the Ring of Doom (S) :]

[: You have obtained Tears of Phoenix (S) :]

"This is... astounding," Daniel marvelled at the wonders of his rewards.

He shook his head as if the Mysterious Box were some kind of enigmatic code designed to taunt players like him.

"Well, whatever unfolds from here, these will benefit me," he reasoned. "This time, I should give the Skill Book to my mother, and as for the Ring of Doom, it's undoubtedly meant for Cecilia."

Daniel had made up his mind to share two of his prized possessions with his loved ones.

He believed that the Metal Conqueror's ability would be most beneficial for his mother, while he considered the Ring to be a fitting gift for Cecilia.

Its effects were nothing short of astronomical, and it could potentially complement her future abilities perfectly.

[: Ring of Doom (S) :]

- A Ring forged from precious materials and by a well-known expert. It's a ring that'll be soul-bound with the owner forever till its death - 

1st Passive Ability - Upon near-death state, will activate an indestructible barrier for as long as needed. Cooldown once per month.

2nd Passive Ability - Increases Light, Holy and Pure Elements, Attacks and Magic by 10 times.

4th Active Ability - Evocation of Beginning and End of Doom - Upon activating the skill, this is an active ability whereupon using it, the ring will be shattered as the cost. The ability itself is the wish of the owner. 

Honestly, as he examined the ring's active and passive abilities, Daniel was sorely tempted to keep it for himself.

However, he understood that he wasn't the sole individual in need of these abilities for survival.

Moreover, he couldn't risk exposing his loved ones to potential dangers from unknown factors.

While he had amassed a collection of Skill Books from the Tower, they paled in comparison to the significance of this ring.

Furthermore, the ring seemed better suited for Cecilia, and he couldn't help but chuckle at the incredible advantage it would provide his mother.

However, he acknowledged that it was still quite sometime away before these gears could be set in motion, so he could afford to wait patiently for a year to pass.

"Now, it's time to examine the remaining rewards," he thought with excitement as he turned his attention to the remaining items, one by one.
