Alexander walked back towards the Elder's Hall with a sense of purpose, eager to understand more about the System and its intricacies. The elder awaited him, his serene demeanor belying the gravity of the information he was about to share. As Alexander stepped into the hall, the elder gestured for him to sit.

"Welcome back, Alexander," the elder said warmly. "Now that you have completed your initial tasks, it is time for you to understand the broader purpose of the tutorial and the System itself."

Alexander nodded, his eyes bright with curiosity. "I'm ready to learn."

The elder began, his voice steady and clear. "The System was created from the will of the multiverse itself. The multiverse felt threatened by the Outer Beings—entities that spread corruption and seek to devour all life and order. In response, the multiverse began integrating various races and worlds into its fold to fight back. Now, it is Earth's turn."

Alexander leaned forward, his interest piqued. "So, this tutorial is meant to prepare us to enter this existential war?"

"Precisely," the elder confirmed. "The tutorial is designed to equip you with the skills, knowledge, and power you will need to face the Outer Beings. The challenges you encounter will test you in various ways, each increasing in difficulty."

The elder produced a scroll and unrolled it, revealing a detailed chart.

"Here is an overview of the challenge tiers," he said. "They range from 1-star to 7-stars, with 1-star being Common and 7-stars being Heroic. Each tier has a different limit of 'safe' quota per individual, meaning the number of times you can attempt challenges without severe consequences."

"Each challenge you complete will earn you tutorial points based on its tier. These points are crucial for your final ranking and the class you will be awarded at the end of the tutorial. The choices you make, the skills you develop, and the points you amass will all contribute to your final class."

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Alexander's eyes widened with excitement. "This sounds incredible. So, the higher the tier, the greater the rewards?"

"Yes," the elder affirmed. "However, the risks also increase. You must balance your ambition with caution. Completing a challenge of a higher tier unlocks the ability to attempt the next tier, but failing too many times can have dire consequences. At the Heroic level, failure can mean death."

Alexander's excitement was quickly tempered by a surge of anxiety. Could he handle such immense challenges? Would he be able to rise to the occasion or would he falter under the pressure? He wasn’t a manga protagonist; he was just a regular person thrust into extraordinary circumstances. His mind raced with self-doubt. Can I handle this? Will it be alright?

The elder paused, allowing the information to sink in before continuing. "Now, let's discuss the rarity of rewards and class awards."

He produced two items from a chest beside him. One was a simple, unadorned ring, while the other was an intricately designed amulet that glowed faintly.

"Here, let me show you examples of different reward rarities."

Alexander examined the items closely. The difference in quality and potential impact was clear. "So, higher-tier challenges can yield much more powerful rewards?"

"Exactly," the elder confirmed. "Higher-tier challenges yield rarer and more powerful rewards. Your final class at the end of the tutorial will also depend on the cumulative points and the rarity of the challenges you have conquered."

Alexander absorbed the information, a sense of purpose growing within him. "This is amazing. It feels like everything I've learned is finally being put to use."

The elder smiled. "That is the intent. The tutorial is designed to bring out the best in you, to prepare you for the trials ahead. Now, let's talk about race tiers and how they affect your growth."

He pointed to another part of the chart.

"Humans are a Common race, which means you gain 5 free stats per level. As you progress and possibly unlock higher tiers, the free stats per level can increase. This incremental growth is vital for your overall development."

Alexander's mind raced with possibilities. "So, if I perform well and earn higher-tier rewards and points, I can potentially elevate my race and increase my growth rate?"

"Exactly," the elder confirmed. "The System rewards diligence, skill, and strategy. Embrace this journey, and you will find yourself growing stronger with each challenge."

Alexander felt a surge of excitement and determination. "Thank you for explaining all of this. I feel ready to take on whatever comes next."

The elder nodded, his eyes twinkling with approval. "Good. Remember, the path will be arduous, but you are not alone. Trust in your abilities, and you will succeed."

As Alexander left the Elder's Hall, he felt invigorated and purposeful. The tutorial was not just a series of random challenges—it was a meticulously designed system to prepare him for an epic battle against the forces threatening the multiverse. With newfound clarity and determination, he set off to face his next challenge, ready to prove himself and secure a place among the heroes of Earth.

Walking through the village, Alexander couldn't help but think about the weight of the responsibility now resting on his shoulders. The fate of Earth and possibly the entire multiverse depended on their success in the tutorial. He felt a mix of anxiety and anticipation. This is my chance to make a real difference, but what if I can't do it? What if I'm not strong enough? The fear of being powerless and useless again clawed at his thoughts. Remember, Alex, One step at a time.

He thought about his grandfather's teachings, the hours spent in the dojo mastering martial arts and swordsmanship. Those lessons had instilled in him a sense of discipline and honor. Now, those skills were more relevant than ever. The System had given him a purpose, a way to channel his abilities into something meaningful.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Alexander couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. The prospect of unlocking new abilities, gaining powerful rewards, and ultimately fighting in an existential war against the Outer Beings was daunting, but it also felt like a grand adventure. He was eager to test his limits, to see how far he could push himself.

As he approached the next task, he took a deep breath and steadied himself. The challenges would be tough, but he was ready to face them head-on. The path of the Combatant was fraught with danger, but it was also filled with opportunities for growth and achievement. Alexander felt ready to embrace it all, to rise to the occasion and prove himself worthy.

Though the anxious thoughts still lingered, Alexander placed them at the back of his mind. He reminded himself of the excitement he felt at the prospect of reaching such great heights, of not having to worry about being powerless anymore. This was his chance to make a difference, to use his skills and abilities for a greater purpose. With determination and a growing sense of excitement, he continued on his journey, ready to face whatever came next.
