At first, Atlas was a little overwhelmed by all the information, but he understood it after a second. Vitality determined his health points, his Endurance his stamina, and his intelligence his mana at a 10:1 ratio each. Granted, he could only scratch his head at how those numbers actually affected him, not to mention the question marks in his race and bloodline, but he just shrugged it off and focused on the next thread of notifications flashing before his eyes.

DISTRIBUTING REWARDS
Atlas had completely forgotten about the hidden objectives if he was being honest. He’d just been trying to survive, but if the System wanted to reward him for that, he certainly wasn’t going to stop it. He was a little conflicted on the hidden objective though. He didn’t really consider what he did “defeating” his enemy, considering he hadn’t been in control during the fight, and both of said enemies were currently sitting across from him and glancing over as they chatted with each other and Big A. On the other hand, arguing with the System when it was trying to give him something that would probably keep him alive better didn’t seem like the smartest idea. Keeping that in mind, Atlas accepted the rewards only to be bombarded by two new notifications. He focused his attention on the shorter of the two.
ABILITY SELECTION: CHOOSE ONE ABILITY (UNIQUE) AND ONE ABILITY (RARE)
RARE SELECTIONS:
OPTION 1: (RARE) MOMENTUM (PASSIVE): ENERGY AND DAMAGE ABSORBED GRADUALLY INCREASE STRENGTH AND DEXTERITY AS LONG AS COMBAT OCCURS; PERCENTAGE OF BOOST CAN BE STORED BASED ON RANK
OPTION 2: (RARE) MOMENTARY ADAPTATION (PASSIVE): ONE ELEMENTAL OR STATUS-BASED RESISTANCE WILL GROW DURING BATTLE BASED ON RECEIVED DAMAGE OR EFFECTS; ALL RESISTANCE WILL BE LOST UPON BATTLE’S CONCLUSION
OPTION 3: (RARE) UNKNOWN ENTITY (PASSIVE): ALL IDENTIFY-BASED SKILLS USED BY THOSE WITHIN TWO RANKS OF YOU WILL FAIL; LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS BY THOSE THREE RANKS ABOVE OR HIGHER WILL INCREASE BY 25% PER RANK
OPTION 4: (RARE) INVENTORY (PASSIVE)- DIMENSIONAL SPACE WITH A MAXIMUM STORAGE OF 10X10X10 METERS; ALL ITEMS WITHIN ARE FROZEN IN TIME; NO LIVING THINGS MAY BE STORED
Atlas’s eyes widened as he saw the rare options. He didn’t doubt that any one of the abilities would be useful, but they were all situational, especially Momentum and Momentary Adaptation. Atlas could also tell that his actions in the scenario had at least partially affected the first three. He and Big A had grown progressively stronger throughout the fight through him absorbing the Beyond mana from the Titano, and he imagined that by successfully resisting the Tainted’s attempt at corrupting him, he had gained resistance to their powers, leading to both Momentum and Momentary Adaptation. He could even imagine the Tainted Lieutenants’ constant identifying of his rank led to Unknown Entity appearing, but he had no idea where Inventory came from. Nor did he know which he would pick. He had a few ideas, but he also realized that what he chose could be what he was stuck with for a while. With that in mind, he scrolled down on the notification to look at the only two unique options to see if they would help his decision.
UNIQUE SELECTIONS:
OPTION 1: (UNIQUE) THE TOUCH THAT SCARES THE DARK (PASSIVE): YOUR TOUCH TURNS THAT WHICH IS CORRUPTED OR MORPHED BACK TO ITS PURIST FORM. YOUR AURA STRENGTHENS THE HOLY AND BREAKS DOWN THE CORRUPT. SEEK PURITY, SEEK THE LIGHT. GAIN HOLY-AFFINITY AND A HOLY-AFFINITY AURA SKILL. [ENDORSED BY THE GODDESS OF PURITY]
OPTION 2: (UNIQUE) THE EYES THAT SEE BEYOND THE THREADS (PASSIVE): TO MOST, THE THREADS CONNECTING EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE ARE HIDDEN, BUT YOU HAVE SEEN THEM. NOW, YOU SHALL SEE BEYOND THEM. YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE UNIVERSE NOW INCREASES AT A FAR FASTER RATE, AS DOES YOUR COMPREHENSION OF CONCEPTS YOU STUDY. SKILLS RELATING TO THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE RESIDENTS AND PLACES UPGRADE FAR EASIER AND ARE FAR MORE EFFECTIVE. GAIN (LEGENDARY) THREADSIGHT IDENTIFICATION SKILL. ALL ADDITIONAL IDENTIFY SKILLS GET UPGRADED BY AT LEAST ONE RANK. YOU SEE THE PATH AND THE PATH IS YOUR OWN.
After he read them, Atlas stared at the Unique grade options, jaw to the floor. That certainly changed things up, especially now that gods were real and had an interest in his choices here, amazingly enough. Despite that, one thought dominated his mind as he looked back and forth between the rare and unique options.
Well, that certainly didn’t help.
