Jacob found himself in the same black passage as he moved forward, and there was nothing around.
But he didn't have time to mull over anything because his heart rate was about to break the 10X limit, and he knew his body wouldn't be able to take it.
Just with the 10X acceleration, he was beet red, and he could feel his veins would explode if the blood circulation increased any future, and he will die.
If not for the five pounds of meat he consumed, he would've been long dead, and his injuries were almost mended because of it.
But he knew he wasn't out of the woods yet. So, he quickly sat down and at a pound more before he started to completely focus on calming his heart down.
But it was far easier said than done since 10X acceleration was his current body limit, and he had yet to master even 7X acceleration fully, so it was too hard.
Still, because of the excessive energy and his wound being healed, he was able to completely focus on calming his heart down as smoke was rising from his body.
Time passed slowly as he calmed his heart rate little by little, and after an unknown time, he was able to exit the 10X acceleration and then 9X… 8X… 7X…
When Jacob finally reached the 6X, it was starting to go even faster, and from 5X, it only took him half a minute to exit the fluid acceleration completely.
At this moment, Jacob opened his eyes, and he was startled because he found himself sitting in a 10X10 white space, and he wasn't moving forward at all.
'Where am I, and when did I get here?' Jacob was vigilant. He had completely lost the concept of time because he was completely focused on exiting the fluid acceleration.
Furthermore, he had completely recovered, his physical condition was optimal, and his physical appearance had returned.
At this moment, the static voice rang, "Faceless Ancient, congratulations, you have completed all the Trial Conditions of Rare Plains trial [Dark Ruins]!"
The next moment, Jacob's star watch suddenly vibrated, and he received another message from an unknown source.
"You have received the Gratitude of the Maiden."
'Could it be this voice belonged to Zodiac Will?' Jacob felt his heart turn cold, but he didn't let it show since it might not be a good thing.
Because even Immortika was afraid of Zodiac Will, and there had to be a reason for it, so he didn't dare to be careless in front of this terrifying existence akin to gods.
The static voice rang again, "Faceless Ancient belonged to the Life Faction!
"The Life Being of other plains will now be freely given access to the Rare Plains as long as they aren't above the power cap until the next trial establishment.
"The Dark Being of other plains will have their previous access voided and returned to 10,000 being per decade!
"The Protection Barrier will now be lifted from Life Plain, and Dead Plain be removed until the next trial establishment.
"Faceless Ancient, as the Champion of Rare Plains Trial, your Star Privilege has been increased from Type-0 to Type-1. You have Level-1 Authority over the Rare Plains until the next trial establishment!
"Faceless Ancient, as the Champion of Rare Plains Trials, you have One Time right to activate the Life Zone for 500 Years by forfeiting half of your accumulated reward!
"Please choose whether you want to activate the Life Zone."
'Like hell, I will.' Jacob scoffed since he would be insane to give away half of his reward for those he didn't even know, especially after having a close shave with death at the end.
He answered without even thinking, "I will not use this One Time Right."
"Faceless Ancient, you have voided your one time right!"
"Your Rewards are as follows:
"'For completing the condition: Destroy the Dignity of King
"You are rewarded with 10,000 Zodiac Credit
"'For completing the condition: Give the Maiden Hope
"You are rewarded with 10,000 Zodiac Credit.
''For completing the condition: Salvage the Priest with Blood Flower by staining his tears with blood
"You are rewarded with 10,000 Zodiac Credit
"Total Reward: 30,000 Zodiac Credit
"For Clearing two conditions, the total reward has been doubled.
"Total Reward: 60,000 Zodiac Credit
"For Clearing three conditions, the total reward has been doubled.
"Total Reward: 120,000 Zodiac Credit
"Sole Champion Reward: 30,000 Zodiac Credit and One free Type-1 Advance Weapon from the Rare Plains Shop!
"Final Reward: 150,000 Zodiac Credit and One free Type-1 Advance Weapon
"The rewards have been transferred to your Type-1 Zodiac Account!"
Jacob's eyes glow like the sun as he hears the collective information on his reward, which is really lavish. Just the 150,000 ZC were enough to make him the richest in the entire Rare Plains.
Not to mention his Type-1 Zodiac Account had been automatically upgraded to Type-1 with this Star Privilege.
He guessed this Star Privilege had to be connected with the Star Network, and anything related to star network was no joke.
As for the Type-1 Zodiac Account, it simply meant he would be given a 2% discount on any purchases from the Star Network or anywhere, as a matter of fact, as long as he used ZC. His previous privilege type-0 could give him a 1% discount.
Lastly, the Level-1 authority over Rare Plains, he didn't care at all since Rare Plains were just like a stop in his journey, and once he was prepared, he'll leave.
He was interested in this Rare Plain Shop; Immortika also mentioned that a champion could buy anything available on a plain through this shop, and the delivery would be instant.
So, he quickly asked, "What is this Rare Plain Shop?"
He feigned ignorant since it would be suspicious if he knew about this shop's functions. He knew it could also be seen as he had contact with higher plains, or this voice did not belong to the actual Zodiac Will and was only an AI.
Because this was just a mere rare plains trial, it would be absurd if the mighty Zodiac-Will was personally present!
