Once Chris was back from the Trial, he instantly went on about how it was.
“The trial was insane! I think mine was crazier than yours!”
“R-Really? What was it? Tell me!” Vd was a bit excited to learn about other trials but quickly mented even having asked about details.
“Well…”
Chris went on for ten minutes about what he saw and how everything happened. Vd was left shocked by all the things Chris got to do, and while he was given su arduous trial, Chris had a whole little adventure in another realm!
“T-This is so unfair…”
Paul dropped to the floor, menting how unfortunate he was; it was as if the game hated him and even made the trials, which were supposed to be fun, pure suffering for him.
The Blood Demon Trial granted him great power though, beyond his wildest dreams at that! But the amount of suffering he had to gh was quite traumatizing, although not really, as he didn’t feel any trauma.
More like just an annoying memory about hating something, but without actual emotional damage. His overrea came mostly because he wao also py Chris Trial and explore another whole Realm, a privilege he didn’t get on his “me” Trial.
“Hahaha… Calm down; I mean, the st battle was super hard… I almost lost pletely back then.” Chris giggled a bit, feeling bad. “I’m ok now though. So let’s check what I got! Apparently there’s this score point system thing and… ah, there!”
Ding!
[gratutions, you have pleted the Css Rank Up Trial!]
[You have earned a total of 430.000 Trial Score Points.]
[You use these points to Rank Up your Css and Subcss by choosing {Spirit Blessings} from those you’ve helped.]
[By buying these {Spirit Blessings} and infusing them into your Css and Subcss, they will automatically Rank Up.]
[Showg {Spirit Blessings}…]
{Spirit Blessing of Patience (Moth Fairies)} [Cost]: [100.000 Trial Score Points]
{Spirit Blessing of Bravery (Beetle Fairies)} [Cost]: [110.000 Trial Score Points]
{Spirit Blessing of Enduraone Spirits)} [Cost]: [120.000 Trial Score Points]
{Spirit Blessing of Wisdom (Myid)} [Cost]: [130.000 Trial Score Points]
{Spirit Blessing of Ce (Samander)} [Cost]: [150.000 Trial Score Points]
Chris’ eyes widehe moment he saw the notifications, the list, and how everything worked! It was much more fun than he imagined.
“Oh wow! It’s also pretty unique pared to yours…” Chris cpped happily.
“What?!” Paul gasped. “You get to choose Spirit Blessings? Damn…”
Paul was beginning to think some Game Developer was Chris’ fan or something.
“I think I just have to choose some, and then they’ll influence how the Css and Subcss Ranks Up,” said Chris.
“I guess this time you don’t eveo i with the Evil Gods, I suppose that’s a relief,” said Paul. “I feel like your Trial might’ve been less harsh and much more different due to your fairy half. Maybe you had a trial that fairies would have instead, or something close to it.”
“Hmm, maybe…” Chris nodded as he looked at the blessings. “Dammit, aside from the names and ins, it’s not like I guess what they dht?”
“They don’t have descriptions?” asked Paul. “Do they show bonuses or something else?”
“Do they give skills?” Camil wao join the versatioweewo.
“No, none of that,” said Chris. “It’s more like just the name and the price. I imagihe higher the price, the better, right?”
“ I see it for a moment?” Paul asked.
“Ah, sure, you?” Chris wondered, showing him the status window.
Usually pyers couldn’t see each other’s system status uhey were allowed by the other.
But for things as private as these, it ossible that it wasn’t possible for Paul to see it.
And well…
“I ’t see anything other than your face…” Paul sighed. “Take a pic then.”
“Okaaay…” Chris nodded. “There.”
He took a picture using the game’s sshot feature and the it to Paul through the Friend Chat.
Once he got it, Paul g the sshot and realized what Chris meant.
“Oh wow, it’s really iing, alright…” he nodded. “Hmm, okay, I guess I get it. They’re not only reted to the blessing’s also the spirit or fairy reted to them. Most likely. So let’s assume Samander Blessing of Ce will give you more Physical Power, and also a fire element of some sort.”
“Ooohh! Sounds iing!” said Chris.
“Then Blessing of Wisdom is probably fic Power and… What are Myid? Mushrooms that dwell in caves?” asked Paul.
“Yeah…” nodded Chris.
“Hm, it’s hard to tell what element they could have,” said Paul. “Uhey showed some affinity to something?”
“Ah! They said they had lesser psychic powers,” expined Chris, remembering something that happened back then.
“Psychic Powers like mine?” Camil wondered.
“Maybe…” said Paul. “But they could be weaker or different…”
"Ok, then with that logidurance is Defense ah Element?” asked Chris. “But what about the other two?”
“What element were Beetle Fairies or Moth Fairies?” asked Paul.
“No idea… But I guess moths like to be out at night, so maybe night… darkness?” asked Chris. “And theles… They liked wrestling with each other.”
“I suppose it could give a boot to just attack power in general,” said Paul. “With no element associated to it… Perhaps. The moth blessing could give patience… I don’t know what that means. I ’t really think of an effect for that…”
“It’s fine; I’m not choosing it anyway,” Chris shrugged. “I think I’ll pick the st three.”
“Hm, I suppose it’s the best,” nodded Vd. “Or you could ditch defense for more power with the beetle blessing.”
“Aaah… I don’t know,” said Chris. “I got fug handled by that two-headed dragon thing… I want more defense.”
“That shouldn’t happen iure; the trial was uh limitations, but in the rest of the game you’ll be with me entia, so we take the hits for you,” Vd said. “I reend specializing more on attack power, physical and magical, so your arrows deal the most damage. As magic arrows calcute damage with both, right?”
“Y-Yeah…” Chris nodded. “Ugh, ok! But if I end up dying or something, it’ll all be your fault!”
“I promise I won’t let that happen; don’t worry,” Paul acted all galntly.
“Ok, ok… I wonder what’ll happen to the rest of the points though,” Chris said, pig the three blessings he wanted.
Ding!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The moment Chris selected what he wahree rge spheres of spiritual, bright, and colorful energy maed. They quickly flew towards his body, infusing him with bright colors for a moment.
“E-Eeeh? Wait, this is too shiny!”
As he cried, the system began to be upgraded, and as his csses ranked up automatically, he didn’t get to choose that unfortunately.

“Oh wow, I got a lot of stuff…” Chris g the messages popping up with surprise. “I got two new Skills and a bunch of stats… Is this what happened with you too?”
“Yeah,” Vd nodded. “Only two Skills, it’s not too much, but based on what you got, they’re bound to be strong. What are they?”
“Hm, I don’t know… One’s called silver fire of ce or something; the other is… ethereal materialization of golden moonlight?” Chris wondered.
“Huh, those names are weird; did you hem right?” asked Vd.
“I mean, I didn’t because their names are annoying… Anyway, just look at the status.” Said Chris, showing his status after his great growth.
And at that moment, Chris noticed another row of messages too!

“Eeeh?!”
Chris screamed as he noticed his status and how big it was, but above all, the Spirit Heart that had appeared right in there, alongside the new Spirit Stat.
“No way…!” Vd said. “You awakened your Spirit Heart! Finally!”
“Woah… So that was the purpose of the trial?!” Chris gasped. “Damn!”
“That’s simply way too ve…” said Vd. “You’re really lucky, Chris! Dammit… Nah, this wasn’t luck! It is as if someone did this as a favor for you.”
“The System is automated most of the time, right? I guess it just helps any pyer increase in power based on their own strengths and weaknesses,” Chris shrugged. “Well, we’re done here. What should we do today anyway?”
“Ah… Well, I guess we should get going,” said Vd. “We were going to go hunt some monsters outside in the hunting fields or nearby forest. And also, we could try summoning Jeese.”
“ht, I almost fot about that guy…” Chris said, making a slightly annoyed face. “Do we have to invite him to py with us though? We’re just fihe two—I mean, the three of us! Little Camil is all the support we need.”
“I like to help!” Camil raised her hands happily.
“e on, Chris, don’t be like that; we promised him we would invite him to this Realm,” said Paul. "Also, he could be our ticket to visit other Realms, his Trait is incredible. We ’t really just waste it.”
“Riiiiiiiight…” Chris crossed his arms. “Just don’t flirt with him!”
“I-I’ve never flirted with him…” Paul sighed, facepalming. “e on, don’t be jealous.”
“I’m not jealous! ould I be jealous?!” Chris barked, like an angry chihuahua. “Hmph! Whatever, let’s just get going!”
“Haaa… This is new,” said Paul.
