The voice rang out loud, sinking into Oural''s head as the truth mmed into his brain.


    He looked at his own body and saw it enveloped in cracks, and from within those cracks, one could sense a bubbling sr energy.


    In the next instant, Nn shot to his feet as he rose up from the ground, hurriedly retreating from Ourak, whose body only cracked even more until the golden energy within him expanded.


    "NOOOOOOO!!!"


    "CURSE YOU, CELESTIAL!!"


    "CURSE YOUUU!!"


    KAABBBOOOOOOOOM!


    A devastating explosion rocked the entire area, a mushroom of sr energy, blood, and flesh billowing into the air.


    The explosion was so powerful that it sent the burning Nn off his feet, smashing him into the ground, as he was sent tumbling uncontrobly before finally mming into a wall.


    His Kratos crown instantly faded away from his head, and he dropped to the ground with a plump like a man just one more step from death!


    ---


    [Congrattions, Neer, onpleting the Bonus Quest!]


    [Your total points for this event are 125!]


    [You will now be transported out of the realm!]


    The loud voice bellowed out as Nn heaved a loud sigh of relief, his eyes slowly closing.


    Instantly, a brilliant sh of light covered his body, and in the next moment, he faded away into nothing.


    The arena, along with the cheering crowd, suddenly copsed into themselves, the entire thing fading into nothing until it became an unending depth of darkness.


    ---


    In the next instant, Nn''s eyes snapped open in shock as he took arge gulp of air.


    Immediately, he stirred awake, feeling the peaceful air m into his nostrils, and every nerve in his body started to calm down.


    Slowly, he looked around the room and stood up in shock when he witnessed something strange.


    Right now, there was nobody but Nn in the massive arena, and immediately, Nn raised his head to the top of the tform and noticed the three Ascendant students looking at him in shock.


    "He... He scored 125/100!!" The woman amongst them said in shock as they all turned to look at Nn, who rose up and grabbed his bag before clearing his throat, embarrassed.


    Only one gaze was all Nn needed to figure out that it was nighttime already.


    If he remembered correctly, he was sent into the trial grounds in the morning, and yet it was night, with everyone having left already.


    That revealed to Nn that he was probably thest person to finish the exam, and that had caused the three Ascendants to have no choice but to wait for him throughout the entire day.


    Slowly, Nn watched as one of them got down to him, hovering in the air, beforemanding,


    "Your records have been kept. You can leave now..."


    Contrary to the scolding that Nn was expecting, what he got was the order to leave, and it deeply surprised him.


    Still, he gave a nod before scurrying off quickly, away from the Neer''s Hall under the amused gazes of the Ascendants.


    "He wasted our time. A lot. 10 hours since thest person left..." One of the Ascendants took notice with a slight frown.


    "But his score is also the highest amongst all of the participants. So, I guess it was worth it in the end..." Another came to Nn''s defense, and they all shrugged it off as the tform they stood on retreated back to the ground and they also soared upwards, disappearing into the distance.


    ---


    [Congrattions, Host, you have sessfullypleted the mission: Defeat the Titan Champion.]


    [Host has been rewarded with +3 Level Up cards, +10,000 EXP, +50 Divine Fragments.]


    "Huuuu,"


    A loud exhale rang out from Nn''s lips as he opened the door and copsed onto his sofa.


    Right now, he felt incredibly exhausted, and his brain seemed to be throbbing in his head.


    It was nothing short of a monumental headache.


    Still,


    GRRRUUUUUM


    His stomach''s rumbling echoed through the walls, and Nn rubbed his belly, feeling the hunger reverberate within him.


    He had not eaten anything throughout the day, and now the hunger wanted to devour him alive.


    So he was given no choice but to force down his exhaustion and walked over to the kitchen, quickly making something for himself.


    Downing the huge te of steak, he felt the furious screams and defiant roars of hunger finally settle down, and immediately, Nn crawled back to his bedroom.


    He had promised himself the other day that he would review his notes onest time, but Nn just couldn''t do it anymore. He was too exhausted.


    He also had new rewards and level-up cards that he ought to properly set up, but his eyelids were too heavy.


    So in the end, he simply mmed into his bed, and less than five minutester, the sound of deep snoring rang throughout the room.


    ---


    [You''ve grown stronger, Nn. You''ve really grown...]


    The golden panel shed before Nn''s unconscious face before dimming as the room waspletely enveloped by the sound of deep snoring.


    ---


    The golden rays of sunlight poured through the clean window panes, bringing a brilliant color of golden energy into the dimly lit room, and also a peaceful wave of air that mmed onto Nn''s face from the slightly opened louvers.


    [WAKE UP, NOLAN!!]


    In the next instant, Nn roughly jumped into the air as his eyes snapped open abruptly, scanning the entire room in a hurry, his head still groggy, and his face buried in his palms.


    "What!? What!?" he screamed out loud.


    [I was just waking you up for school. Don''t want you to bete, you know.]


    The system spoke coyly as Nn held his head.


    Now, he was starting to have a headache from the system''s decision to wake him up early in the morning as if a bandit had broken into his house.


    Still, the truth was undeniable as Nn rose from the bed and moved towards the direction of the bathroom.


    It was time to freshen up and go for the second exam.


    Hopefully, it wouldn''t be as monumentally difficult as thest one.
