****************

The first 150 or so notifications were just as Mako had expected, he didn\'t receive the notification for killing one giant Puffclaw, but rather a notification for killing every single individual medium-tier Puffclaw that was part of the black goo.

Even though he had racked up quite a hefty amount of EXP from killing all those Puffclaws, he wondered how much he would have received if he killed it in its giant form. However, he wouldn\'t be able to find that out now so he just gave up and continued on with the remaining notifications.

[Quest Completed!]

[User has defeated Mutated Giga Puffclaw]

[Rewards: Instant Level Up, +20 Silver Tier Coins]

Even though Mako didn\'t receive the EXP for killing that giant Puffclaw, he did receive a quest to defeat it during the fight which he had ignored, but the rewards were definitely not lacking.

*********

[User has leveled up!]

[Current Level: Lvl 14]

[Reward: Multiple Random Attribute Increase, +3 Trade Tokens, Random Ability Skill]

[Mentality has been elevated to 55]

[Stamina has been elevated to 42]

[Choosing Random Skill]

[New Skill Learned: (E-Tier) Energy Sensing] ⓘ

The next set of notifications caught Mako\'s eyes as he read through them with the reward\'s effect also starting to take place, confirming that it was defiantly true.

The cooling sensation washed over his entire body as he read the reward of receiving the instant level. The EXP reward of killing all those Puffclaws didn\'t even matter now as he had received the remaining amount of EXP to complete Level 13 and enter Level 14, just one more level until he finally reached Level 15.

The amount of EXP required was still insane as he now had to earn more than 8 million EXP in order to level up again, but Mako once again just left it for the system to figure out as he had been doing this whole time and it had definitely paid off.

Mako also wanted to know more about some of the brand-new rewards he had received, so he paused the stream of notifications and clicked on the information icon next to them to learn more about them.

(NEW!) [(E-Tier) Energy Sensing] ⓘ (Level 1)

[A utility skill from the Energy Manipulation Skill Tree grants the user a special type of vision as long as the user maintains his Energy aura active. Once active, the user can more clearly see the flow of energy in all things, whether living or non-living.

The conciseness of this skill depends on the user\'s aura capacity and understanding of the ability. Energy Sensing can also sense different ability auras, highlight them in different colors, and detect the energy signature of different living beings.

Energy Sensing also has an additional sub-skill called "Bookmark". While Energy Sensing is active, the user can bookmark different people\'s energy signatures, and using the power of Energy Sensing, the user can detect and pinpoint the location of any bookmarked person within a 3-kilometer radius.]

[Bookmarks Available: 5]

[The range of tracing bookmarks and the accuracy and conciseness of the skill will increase as it levels up and the user understands more about Energy Manipulation as well as increases its aura.]

[Cost: 100 Energy per minute]

This was a brand new skill that belonged to his strongest ability and to his absolute surprise it was a skill that had the same properties as the skill he had made up in front of Leon stating that he could sense auras of other beasts.

Mako had no idea if it was a coincidence or just pure random luck, but he wasn\'t complaining as it was an extremely important and great skill that he could use in many situations with the added bonus of being able to bookmark up to 5 different people.

[Trade Token] ⓘ

[A trade token is another form of currency that can be used in the shop. The user can use the trade tokens to trade items, skills, or even abilities that they don\'t want in return for something else that the system.

The number of trade tokens required to exchange an item totally depends on the rarity and strength of the item, skill, or ability that the user is trying to trade.

Once a trade is initiated it cannot be canceled and the user has to pick something from the three options that the system provides in return for what the user is offering.]

The trade tokens were also a great new addition to his shop as he had some things that he had been meaning to get rid of for a long time and the system had finally given him the ability to do so.

However, there were still notifications that he had to read through so he put them on hold for now.

**************

[A change has occurred with the user\'s fire aura]

[Computing changes...]

[User has unlocked a new variant of the Fire ability: Red Fire]

[Red Fire] ⓘ

[Red Fire is a variant of the normal fire ability where the color of the flames change from a regular bright orange to a deep red. The user has the ability to seamlessly switch between which variant of fire they want to use based on different situations.

The Red Fire comes with two perks. All Fire related skills cast through the Red Fire will have a 25% increase in damage and a 50% greater chance to burn the opponent. However, the one drawback is that the skill cast from the Red Fire demand more energy than the regular skill, and the amount of aura the user had for the red flames is reduced to half the normal size]

[Hidden Quest Complete]

[Unlock a brand new variant for any one ability]

[Reward: +100,000 EXP, One Random Ability Level up, +30 Attribute points]

[Choosing Random Ability]

[Lightning has been upgraded to Level 5]

Mako once again just had to pause the stream of notifications as just the absurdity of the rewards he was receiving was driving him to question whether all this was even real, but after pinching himself to confirm, he saw that he was indeed awake and in the moment.

Mako now learned that the Red Fire that Mikhail possessed and the one he had accidentally unlocked was called a variant of the original Fire ability and that it had its own unique pros and cons that could greatly come in handy.

However, Mako was still a bit curious about variants so he used the Ask feature to try and get some answers from the system.

[Ability Variants] ⓘ

[While understanding and mastering a certain ability, the user can manipulate the aura within them so much that the aura itself mutates and transforms into a variant of the original ability.

This mutation can happen at any time and many different things can become the trigger for its mutation such as extreme emotion, sheer willpower, etc.

Once a variant of the ability is unlocked, the user has the ability to switch between the variant and the original ability with the variant having some greater benefits and some drawbacks than the original ability.

The Variants can manifest as in a change of color or state from what the original ability is or something completely different with many people creating new variants of an ability that only they can master, making it unique and something that can\'t be easily replicated by the masses]

Variants seemed to be quite an amazing concept and Mako was intrigued to learn more about what different types of variants had been discovered so far and how effective were they from the original ability, but that had to wait for when he got into military school so as for now he continued on with the last bit of notifications.

The final set of notifications was just about him completing a hidden quest about discovering and unlocking his first variant of an ability but the reward did not disappoint as now Mako finally unlocked the Level 5 Lightning ability bringing it back to be at the same level as the Fire ability.

Lightning was Mako\'s favorite ability so he was beyond ecstatic about him gaining back to his Fire ability, and he was also super excited as this meant that he could finally use his first ever D-Tier Elemental skill that he previously couldn\'t use, the Lightning Claw which required a level 5 Lightning ability.

[Lightning] ⓘ

[Lightning is an offensive/utility ability, your stats will be increased when using lightning-based moves]

[Agility +25]

[Strength +20]

[Stamina +10]

[To activate these boosts, you have to keep your ability active which will passively drain energy as well as release the aura of a level 5 Lightning Ability user]

[Current rate of energy consumption: 8 Energy per minute]

Mako was beyond happy with the reward he had received from the fight and couldn\'t wait to test out some of the stuff he had received as a reward. In the end, he opened his profile to check out how it was looking after all the upgrades he had just received.

*************

Mako was quite happy with all his rewards and his profile right now, and couldn\'t wait to test out some of the new things he had gained today, but first, he decided to check up on Erin and Leon to see how their battle was going as he had been hearing sounds of battling for quite some time now.

However, just as he was about to move and get up, he heard a strange beeping sound coming from his backpack. Mako instantly recognized the beeping sound and knew it to be from the drone he had stationed next to the tablet.

If it was beeping, it meant that a brand new announcement had been made to all the information tablets and Mako wanted to know just what had the military announced now just as the 4th wave was coming to a close.
