Omni-Mastery 310 Gains & Loss

After finishing the whole discussion with the village head and exchanging a few pleasantry notes, I retreated to the small shack that I used to stay in before I left for the joint meeting.

Having finally solved the problems of both Sprout and Sean's group, well maybe not a full solution, but at least brought it to a close for now, I could finally check the notifs I received after exiting the base as well as perform some self enhancements! 

[ Congratulations! You have managed to destroy… ]

[ You have managed to achieve the first objective (Repeatable) of the 'Demon's Advent' quest! ]

[ You have received 2.5 Unassigned stat points as a reward! ]

[ You have received the title 'Demon Base Ranger'! ]

[ You have received the title 'Protector of the Nature Domain'! ]

[ As you have encountered the hidden scenario, 'The Die Hard Sacrifice' and managed to clear it, an additional bonus is awarded! ]

[ You have received 1.5 Unassigned stat points as a reward! ]

'Let's see…'

Viewing the notifs that I have set aside for the last day or so, I started analyzing them thoroughly, separating the regular anticipated ones and the new surprising ones.

The first notif that I received after the regular base destruction report was a new yet expected notif, I was actually quite satisfied with the reward that followed it as well, after all, it compensated me for the stat points that I lost as an side effect to the 'Bloodline Burning Curse'.

[ Constitution +1.5 ]

[ Strength +1 ]

[ Constitution: 35 ]

[ Strength: 35 ]

I didn't hesitate as I spent the whole reward to recuperate the losses, before checking the titles that I received as well, including the familiar one, and the totally new one…

[ 'Protector of the Nature Domain'

Title effects: 

- The citizens of the Nature Domain are more likely to have a favorable impression of you.

- All your abilities are amplified by 10% when fighting within the Nature Domain. ]

[ 'Demon Base Ranger'

Title effects:

- The 'Base Allocation' ability's range is boosted by 10%.

- The 'Mental Map' ability can now help locate the 'Corruption Core' of a demon base once you are inside of it. (Inaccurate) ]

'It's a carbon copy of the other protector title, but this ranger one…'

The first effect of the new title seemed somewhat strange, as it was the first title to amplify an ability that wasn't truly mine, as it was just a side-ability granted by what seemed to be the main quest, not only that, but even the second effect of the title also used an old ability of mine that no longer had that much use and seemingly turned it into another locator ability, though the (Inaccurate) tag seemed to have hidden meanings…

Unfortunately, I had no way to immediately test the effects of the new title so I could only assume, for example, the first effect was likely to increase the range from 10 km to 11 km, while the second effect might as well act as a shaky guiding map with low resolution or something of that sort.

Lastly, there was the most surprising part…

'A hidden scenario!'

The unexpected act of the Shaman was actually counted as a hidden scenario, or that was at least what seemed to be the case for me, after all, the Shaman and the general did both sacrifice themselves to take me down, but I did manage to survive through it thanks to the help of the young sleepy Sky Dragon.

The reward was nice and all but it looked a bit lackluster when compared to what I had to suffer to get it, but thinking about the possibility that the reason the reward was this small may be due to the fact that I used the Sky Dragon's external help to survive instead of completely relying on myself, so overall I wasn't dissatisfied with the result anyway.

'It's not a complete loss after all…'

While the base venture might have seemed like it had a lot of defects, it did allow me to get a good number of gains, especially in terms of…

[ Unassigned stat points: 8.55 ]

Considering the fact that I entered the base with only 1.05 stat points left and disregarding the loss and recuperation, then a gain of 7.5 stat points compared to the low amount of time invested, which was about five days or so was obviously more of a win.

And that was just mentioning the stat aspect, other than that was gaining the new 'Dragon Domination' and what seemed to be similar to a 'Curse Immunity' that was attached to it, there was also the great information gain from Sprout and...

'It's about time to check that package…'

The legacy gained from the 'Trial of Vegetation'!

Just like the rest of the rewards that I gained from the whole adventure, I had also postponed opening and checking the mental package that I recevied after I managed to pass the trial of vegetation that the others didn't receive for some reason, which might be related to the effect of the 'Ancient Bewitching Mark', but that wasn't worth pondering about at the moment.

{Congratulations young hero! If you are hearing this then you must have managed to collect the item set I left behind, maybe along other comrades and overcame the trial I left behind, you have done well.}

{If you are also hearing this version of my message, then you deserve more praise as you should have already passed another trial that was left by one of my comrades, which is why I will skim on all the useless introduction parts as you should have already heard them…}

{Hopefully, you should have already managed to deal with both bases without any trouble, considering your earlier experience, so I will only add one more thing that you need to take note of before giving you the reward that you deserve…}

{We have recently discovered that the demons should have discovered something that allows them to manipulate Space elements…}
