Ryder heard the system's announcement and left just as silently as he came.

He laid down on his bed as he closed his eyes, but he couldn't clear his mind as he wondered what it was all about.

He didn't know why, but his heart was beating fast, and he was somehow feeling angry, but this anger didn't seem to be towards Janus or Alice.

"Hey, Janus. Can you stop giving me these senseless missions?" Ryder inquired.

Janus replied.

"What are you talking about? What listened? You talk so vaguely and don't tell me anything," Ryder complained.

Janus responded.

"Fine. Keep your vague secrets," Ryder snorted.

He closed his ears and stopped talking with Janus.

After half an hour, he finally fell asleep.

It was early morning as he woke up. He went to the washroom and took a nice shower. He got ready and left his room for breakfast.

As always, breakfast was already on the table.

"Such a hard-working girl. She already left for university." He muttered as he sat down on a chair and started eating his breakfast.

Ryder walked back to his room and laid down on his bed as he wore the Divinity glasses and logged back inside the game.

He again appeared in the novice village.

"Time to get started. As far as I remember, The Rank 1 player in the last timeline, Darkness, will reach level 5 tonight. I only have around 12 hours to reach Level 5." He muttered as he started walking towards the exit.

He left the village and walked towards the beast valley.

He already had a target in his mind.

He stepped inside the valley while ignoring the other players who were fighting on the outskirts of the valley.

He entered the depths of the valley.

As he was walking, A snow wolf jumped at him from behind.

Ryder swung his sword as he turned around. He didn't use the Enraged Slash, but just a simple attack.

The sword struck the Snow Wolf. The snow wolf was killed at once as his body fell to the ground.

He continued on his journey, and not much later, he faced another snow, Wolf.

[+20 experience points]

He saw another notification as he killed the beast.

He was finally about to leave the outer vicinity of the beast valley when he saw a small group of snow wolves at some distance. The ground contained four snow wolves.

It didn't look like the wolves had seen him yet.

"Time to test out the spell."

He raised his hand towards the beast as he muttered a spell.

"Oh Lord of fire, creator of life

Give me the strength and burn my enemies to cinders.

Flame Blast! "

He chanted the spell.

A small ball of fire left his hand and flew towards one of the wolves.

The wolf was struck by that ball of flame and burned to ashes before it could even have a chance to roar in pain.

"The spell seems good, but the range is quite small. It would be so amazing if it were an area of effect skill."

" It felt good to say the spell, though. The mages looked so cool when they chanted spells." He muttered to himself as he waited for the wolves to come to him.

The snow wolves noticed him with their fierce eyes and came running towards him.

Ryder raised his sword and got in an attacking position.

"Time to collect some XP."

The battle didn't last for much longer as the wolves were killed.

He didn't use his Enraged Slash as he was waiting for the real battles. He could only use them five times a day after all.

He continued ahead, and finally, after some more time, he met the beast that made him run last time... the profound bears.

There was still only one profound bear, and he was still sleeping just like yesterday.

"You bastard! You made me run for so long. You destroyed all my reputation. Do you think you are allowed to sleep so peacefully? " A smirk appeared on Ryder's face as he gripped his sword and started walking towards the bear.

It was time for revenge.

It was at that moment; a voice sounded in his ears that almost made him fall down to the ground.
