"What? Second place?"

"So, I am not the first challenger to enter the inheritance building,"

​​

"Are there any other challengers apart from me right now?"

Soon, it was Henrick's turn to ask questions to the trial master of the inheritance building.

'Ding,

The challenger doesn't have permissions to know about it.

'Ding,

Please increase your challenger level to know answers to your questions.

As always, he didn't get any answer from the system which suggested he should increase his challenger level to get access to those answers.

'I wonder when my rank will be increased. Anyway, where is my reward?'

Henrick could guess that by only completing more trials. So, he didn't ask the system about it and waited for his reward to be announced.

'Ding,

For successfully surviving more than 5 hours, the challenger can now access the soul store in the inheritance building.

'Ding,

For being a second record holder in the 'Survival' trial, the challenger is rewarded with 10 crude souls.

Just as he was waiting for the reward, the system informed him about the rewards.

'Soul store? Is it some kind of shop?'

'10 crude souls? What is it used for?'

Henrick didn't understand what was the soul store and crude souls were as he waited for the trial master to inform him about those two new things.

'Ding,

A soul store is a store where you can buy anytime you wished for with just a thought; however, you need to pay the right price for that item.

'Ding,

As for the crude souls, it is one of the currencies that can be used to buy things from the soul store.

"What? Excellent,"

Henrick was surprised by the explanation of the trial master because a store, from which he could whatever he wanted, was a great treasure.

'As for the price, I can complete the trials and get them,'

Henrick didn't bother about the prices because some items were very rare that they were impossible to get their hands on.

So, as long as he could have the chance to get that item, he could work very hard to gain as many crude souls as possible to buy the items from the store.

"By the way, where is the soul store? I want to take a look at it before challenging the next trial,"

Since he could not access the soul store though the system, he asked the trial master about the location of the soul store.

'Ding'

Just as he asked his question, Henrick noticed a light screen to his right.

The light screen was between the two doors and the numbers of them were covered by something which was making him unable to see it.

Nevertheless, Henrick didn't bother about those numbers as his entire focus was on the light screen.

'Welcome, the challenger.'

Just when he walked near to it, a row of words appeared on the light screen.

"I want to see some items and their prices,"

Nodding his head, Henrick asked the light screen to show him some items along with the prices.

'Do you want to check any specific item?'

Instead of showing the list of items, it showed another row of words asking him about the specific item.

"Show any item that is useful to me,"

Henrick shook his head and asked it to show some items first because he just wanted to see the prices before asking for the items he had in his mind.

'A High-level fire fruit costs 100 crude souls'

.

.

.

'A rank 2 healing pill 1000 crude souls'

.

.

.

'A rank 3 cultivation technique cost 10000 crude souls'

Soon, a list of items appeared on the light screen that made Henrick laugh as he found it was funny.

"As I expected, the prices are very high,"

Henrick stopped laughing and bitterly shook his head as he felt the prices were very high.

Because after completing a trial that took him nearly 6 and a half hours, he got only 10 crude souls. Moreover, those 10 crude souls were the reward for being the second record holder.

So, he felt a little sad at the prices of the items on the light screen.

'No. I need to create more records and get as many crude souls as possible,'

Nevertheless, Henrick knew he was already very lucky to be selected by the inheritance building and getting various benefits.

So, to use those benefits, he had to work hard and earn more crude souls.

"Are there any items that can hide my bloodline from others? Or the items that can increase the levels of my skills?"

Soon, he asked the light screen about the items he had come to the inheritance building.

'Of course, the items are available'

'Challenger's level is too low to gain access to the items. Please reach at least level 1 to know the prices of items.'

Rows of sentences appeared on the light screen that asked him to increase his challenger's level to know about the prices.

'Damn it...damn it. Once again my challenger's level is stopping me from learning the crucial information,'

Henrick was finally frustrated with his low challenger's level because every time he wanted to know about something, either the system or the trial master of the inheritance building were saying that he was not having the sufficient challenger's level.

Now, even the 'Soul store' was saying that which made him frustrated.

'Since I can't buy anything useful with the current crude souls I have in my account, I will go for another trial. I hope I get some crude souls from it,'

With that thought in his mind, he turned to move back to his usual position to ask for another trial from the trail master; however, just when he turned something on the light screen caught his attention.

"What is that?"

Looking at the top right corner on the light screen, Henrick asks the soul store about it.

On the top right corner, there was a small number '11' which made him curious.

'Your crude souls = 11'

'It is the total number of crude souls in your account'

Soon, the number became big and another row of words appeared along with it.

"Huh? 11?"

Henrick was a little puzzled with the number of crude souls in his account as he thought, 'I was rewarded with only 10 crude souls, right? Where did that 11th one come from?'

'Do you want to check the crude souls' credit history?'

The soul store showed another line on the light screen asking him whether he wants to check the record of his crude souls.

"Yes,"

Henrick nodded his head agreeing to the soul stone.

'10 crude souls credited by the trial master as a reward'

'1 crude soul gained from killing a rank 1 purple back wolf'

Soon, two lines appeared in which there was no surprise in the first line; however, the second line gave a pleasant surprise to him.

"So, killing the beasts in the trial will also give crude souls? It is a piece of excellent news,"

Henrick was excited by the latest revelation on how to gain more crude souls.

However, he was excited a little too much that the trial master sent a few system notifications that all his excitement disappeared after reading those system notifications.
