* With the emergence of the first Tier-2 Alpha Chosen, all participants in the Milky Way Galaxy Trial Program will be granted access to Basic Tier-2 Information.

╰── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╯

As the enormous celebratory notifications finally faded from the sky, their brilliance slowly dissipating into the ether, Jay’s attention snapped back to the immediate surroundings. No sooner had the grand spectacle vanished than a series of more familiar notifications appeared before him, hovering quietly in the air.

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮

﴾ Basic Tier-2 Information ﴿

Milky Way Galaxy Trial Program

﴾ The System has chosen the top 1,000,000 live planets with intelligent life civilizations to participate in the Trial Program, designed to facilitate their assimilation into the Milky Way Galaxy.﴿

﴾ The Trial World is a planet divided into 1 million ⧼1,000,000⧽ Trial Zones, with each zone specifically allocated to a life planet. ﴿

* 1000 Trial Zones together form a Trial Region.

* 100 Trial Regions then combine to create a Trial Continent.

* 10 Trial Continents together make up the entire Trial World.

﴾ Each Trial Zone spans 100 kilometers ⧼62 miles⧽ in length and width, covering an area of 10,000 square kilometers ⧼3,844 square miles⧽. ﴿

﴾ The System has assigned Earth to 'Trial Zone No.735202,' located within 'Trial Region No.735,' on 'Trial Continent No.7' of the Trial World. ﴿

﴾ On Day 30 of the Trial Program, the barriers surrounding each Trial Zone within their respective Trial Region will disappear. This will mark the start of the Trial Zone Ranking Tournament, where the 1,000 Trial Zones in each region will compete against one another. Best of luck. ﴿

╰── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╯

Jay hadn’t anticipated the sheer scale of the Trial World. What he had initially perceived as a mere isolated zone was revealed to be just a fragment of a much grander whole.

The Trial World consisted of an astonishing 1 million Trial Zones, with each spanning an area of 10,000 square kilometers ⧼3,844 square miles⧽. Together, those zones formed a world with a total surface area of 10 billion square kilometers—an incomprehensible vastness.

To grasp its vastness, Jay’s heightened Spirit Attribute allowed him to recall random fragments of knowledge stored in his subconscious.

He remembered that Earth’s total surface area was approximately 510 million square kilometers, information he had once seen in a UTube video. The Trial World, in comparison, was a staggering twenty times larger than Earth.

That insight had become clear to him as his Spirit Attribute in║LOOTED STATUS║increased to 58 Stats. With this heightened Spirit Attribute, his memory retention reached an advanced level, allowing him to recall even the most obscure information buried deep within his subconscious mind.

The full scope of the Trial Program became apparent to him. The initial notifications he had received upon being teleported into the new reality hadn’t mentioned anything about the vast Trial World or its scale.

However, with the recent acquisition of Basic Tier-2 Information, he understood that the Trial Program extended far beyond his initial assumptions. The "Milky Way Galaxy Trial Program" wasn’t confined to just Earth or a few other—it encompassed the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

According to human estimates, the Milky Way Galaxy contained over 100 billion planets, with nearly 5 million planets capable of supporting life. However, life didn’t necessarily equate to civilizations, and only a small fraction of those Life Planets harbored intelligent species living in organized societies.

But even those estimates were likely conservative. Within such a vast galaxy, there could easily be 100 million or more Life Planets, many of them still undiscovered or undocumented by humanity.

Among the vast galaxy of life-bearing planets, only a select few—1,000,000, or one million—planets hosting intelligent species had been chosen for the Milky Way Galaxy Trial Program.

The realization made the Trial Program even more exclusive and daunting, as only the top life planets with advanced civilizations had earned a place.

Another crucial piece of information had been revealed: the Trial Zone Ranking Tournament. Set to take place once the Trial Program reached Day 30, that event would pit Alpha Chosen from 1,000 different planets to face off in direct competition.

Though the 'Basic Tier-2 Information' didn’t provide any specific details about the rewards or the nature of the tournament, Jay could only imagine the magnitude of the benefits. The fact that the top participants would be the Alpha Chosen of 1,000 distinct planets indicated that the rewards would be immense, potentially offering unimaginable power or resources to the victors.

As Jay pondered the upcoming tournament, his thoughts briefly drifted to 'Regaz,' the Alpha Chosen of Planet Gharek.

Regaz had been the first to reach Tier-2, and Jay couldn't help but wonder what kind of mysterious and unknown rewards he had earned for his achievement. The rapid advancement and early access to Tier-2 skills undoubtedly placed him ahead of many others in the program, sparking a sense of urgency within Jay to catch up and secure his own evolution.

Jay’s gaze shifted to the transparent notification showing the remaining time for Day 1 of the Trial Program:

﴾ ALPHA Program | Day - 1 | Time - 23:50:04 ﴿

With only 10 minutes left before the end of the first day, he knew his window for advancement was closing.

He needed to fulfill the last requirement for Tier-2 Evolution: gathering enough Life Energy to push his level to 11. He was painfully close, with just 50 Life Energy standing between him and the next Tier.

﴾ Life Energy: 6550/6600 ﴿

Without wasting another moment, Jay dashed south, relying on his enhanced senses to locate a monster that could provide the necessary Life Energy.

His mind focused, and his body moved with astonishing speed as he bit into a High Vitality Fruit for a quick recovery boost—he was crossing 500 meters in just 15 seconds, his Agility Attribute in║LOOTED STATUS║fueling him to speeds of 38 meters per second. The world blurred around him as he scanned the environment with heightened precision.

Within moments, his search bore fruit. Three Tier-1 creatures appeared in the distance, their primal instincts somehow mistaking him for an easy target, despite the fact that he was still in║INVERSE║ mode.

Their aggressive rush toward him was unexpected but welcome—these monsters would be his final ticket to Tier-2 Evolution. He swiftly used║Inspect║to gauge the creatures’ strength, ready to eliminate them and claim the last bit of Life Energy he needed. Time was ticking, and every second counted.

﴾ Lv.4 Mad Hound ﴿

﴾ Lv.5 Mad Hound ﴿

﴾ Lv.4 Mad Hound ﴿

After briefly checking their levels, Jay didn’t waste time inspecting their Attribute Stats. His attention shifted to their bloodshot eyes, which radiated a wild madness, perfectly in line with their names.

Instead of opting for a direct kill, he decided to test the passive skill of the║Stream Wind Sword║. As soon as he activated it, the technique and knowledge of how to utilize║Wind Sheath║surged into his mind in an instant, as if the skill itself was guiding him.

A thin layer of wind swiftly enveloped the one-handed║Stream Wind Sword║, sharpening its blade with an invisible edge. With a mere thought, the sword launched forward at an astonishing speed, piercing clean through the skull of an Lv.4 Mad Hound in one smooth motion.

To his surprise, he realized the sword obeyed his will with uncanny precision. The║Stream Wind Sword║shifted effortlessly mid-flight, weaving through the air with blinding speed.

In mere moments, it had dispatched the remaining two Mad Hounds, its wind-cloaked blade carving through their skulls with such lethal efficiency they were dead before they could even make a move.

﴾ You have fulfilled all the requirements to undergo Tier-2 Evolution, Do you wish to proceed? ﴿

Jay didn’t agree to initiate his Tier-2 Evolution immediately. Despite being just moments away from achieving his goal, he was keenly aware of the dangers surrounding him. Out in the open, even a low-phase Tier-1 monster could pose a lethal threat if he became vulnerable during the evolution process. The risks were too high.

With that in mind, he quickly turned his focus toward his tree hideout—a more secure place where he could undergo the Tier-2 Evolution without worrying about an unexpected ambush.
