The Quests were not too many, but very relevant. It was like Vena had taken a mixture of what he was already doing and what he wanted to do, as well as what he should be doing, and made them into Quests.
What Darius was most looking forward to was the True Coin payout. He had yet to open the Shop, but the currency for it was extremely attractive to him based on the True Supreme System's description of the function.
Darius was certain that once he did, as a matter of fact, open it, his current lust would spike greatly. He gazed through the Quest one more time and kept them in mind, before moving onto the Events menu.
[Events:
- In progress
1. A New Element (Recurring) - 300 years, 300 AP, 300 SP.
- Completed
1. Coffin of Lord Darm - No Duration, 190 AP, 95 SP.
2. Hammer of Thor - 10 years, 30 AP, 50 SP, Thunder Element Dragon's Egg, Thunder Heart.
3. Civilization Protection Vaults - 1 year, 470 AP, 470 SP.
4. The Desert King Trials - 1 day, 1,500 AP, 1,500 SP.]
Darius noticed that the last Event was blinking, seemingly indicating that the reward was unclaimed. This greatly surprised him, as he had believed that it had bene was part of the 3,000 AP and SP he had been granted.
Then again, it also made sense. Gaining the bloodline of someone like Yuli'ann Castoro whose 'waste' practically produced True Lords, the ceiling of power on Faust, should yield this much if not more.
In fact, Darius was right. He was still at a Fledgling stage, which was like being unhatched and about to come out of the egg. Once he climbed the ranks, the kind of power boost he would gain would overshadow this much.
Darius rightfully claimed his reward for becoming the Desert King and moved onto the Collectibles sub-menu. Here he saw a list of items that were said to be very special, and shockingly, his own Resurrection Stone was there.
The First, Second and Third Resurrection Stones were listed, and even their owners were listed along with it. According to this, Darius had the First Resurrection Stone and even listed where it was kept.
The menu read Spawn Point #10, though Darius preferred the name Divine Glade for its looks.
The second Resurrection Stone seemed to be in the possession of Hades, kept in his Divine Domain. The Third Resurrection Stone was with the Blacklight Corporation, the popular Gravitas company that made most of its tech.
This interested Darius. It seemed like Vena wanted these items but didn't want to snatch them herself, probably because she wanted to use them to hone him better.
... then again, given her personality, it might as well be that she was just too lazy to do it herself.
Darius personally felt like it was likely a mixture of the two.
There were some other items in the list of which were named, but their powers were not mentioned. Even if Darius was curious, all he had to do was find them and use his Analyze to see what they were about, no?
Since he only had one Collectible, and it was something he was not willing to apart with just yet, he moved onto the Accolades sub-menu. Here, there were a long list of accolades, most of them in categories featuring the statistics of his life.
I.e a certain amount of kills would net him this Accolade, killing this amount of that race would get that Accolade, using a spell of this element this amount of times gave that Accolade, etc.
Accolades were upgradeable too, in stages from the lowest to the highest. It was like that stuff in games you would do to get in-game rewards, mostly in Eastern made games on Earth.
Darius already had achieved more than a few Accolades. Most didn't give any substantial reward, but he had managed to accumulate 3,000 True Coins, 250 AP, and 250 SP from what he had achieved so far.
Most stages only gave out something like 1 True Coin, 5 True Coin, 1 AP, 1 SP, etc. None of them were on the same Accolade, as in each Accolade only gave 1 reward, and the amount was small.
But that was fine, since given the sheer number of them, little drops of water would make a mighty ocean. The only thing was that Accolades could not be forced.
Just continue living your life and doing your stuff, and you would clear the various stages in time. It was the Achievements - which Darius opened next - that could be manually targeted.
Achievements were like those in the games Darius had played on Earth. They were mostly focused on not just significant acts, but absurd ones that sounded simple on paper but would take time, effort, and skill to achieve.
Darius had achieved a few, which had led to his earlier Titles, among some others. He claimed the Achievements that he was owned and received a deposit of 12,000 True Coins and 780 AP as well as 590 SP.
There were no new titles among the lot, but that was fine. Darius then moved onto the 'World' section. He opened the Map and saw that it was almost the same as before.
The reason why he said almost was that his map was entirely dynamic and real-time. In other words, it was as if he had already launched a super-powerful satellite over Faust and could check anything and anywhere as long as he zoomed in enough.
Darius panned through and looked through the world slowly, checking various places of interest. He even checked in on the Gods of Elysium and could pierce into their Divine Domains to see what was there.
Heh, this would be extremely useful during his war, as it would allow him to outmaneuver his foes in ways that would leave them sleepless.
Darius then checked on Deia and saw that she was valiantly training while that Inquisitor Davian looked on with infatuated eyes. However, Deia ignored him and seemed to have become a very cold person.
Darius rubbed his chin as he liked it. His Deia had been fiery and hot, the emotional side of their duo while he had been the rational side. For there to be a cold version of her was a contrast and added flavor to his already perfect soulmate.
