Raven woke up to someone standing over him, he jumped up quickly sitting up in the bed he looked at the woman he sighed out of relief when he found out it was just Iris again. He got out of the bed adjusting his clothes and he looked at Iris again. She smiled at him, “welcome back Raven!” Raven just smiled a bit, not fully awake yet. He looked to his left hearing a ding seeing a new window
You have yet to claim your
2 [Rare] Boxes
Would you like to claim?
Raven sighed a bit nodding as the two boxes then appeared, these seemed to be blue shooting their lids at him. He hit them away with a yawn watching as the multiple windows came from the boxes. It seems there were 2 windows in each box. He then obtained the following.

Upon obtaining the items Raven first equipped the ring feeling what he could assume he should call mana course through his body. It weaved its way through every inch in his body making him shiver a bit. He then equipped the bracelet making his armor suddenly disappear as he was now wearing his regular clothes that he wore when he first died. It was strange but it was almost comforting to see his regular outfit again. Raven smiled a bit as he examined the bow. He was never good at archery when it was covered at school. Thinking about it made him laugh a bit. He pulled on the drawstring a bit, slinging it over his back shortly after. Raven got another pop up window shortly.
Special Request Complete!
1 upgrade available
Next to this window another one appeared
[Upgrade]
The user can use this on anything they may own
Including but not limited to
[Skills], [Armor], [Items], and [Weapons]
Raven stared for a bit thinking he was given this for continuing the trials wasn't he? He shrugged a bit looking towards his skills first. He didn’t see a need in upgrading [Donation of the Dead] or [The Subspace of the Goddess]. Also he didn’t want to use it on [Beginner Sword Aura] it did say it could be trained after all. He then looked at [Cloning] maybe if he upgraded it he could make 2 clones.. He then looked at the upgrade window, “upgrade skill cloning..?” He said unsure if this was the proper way to do it suddenly the window containing his [Cloning] skill appeared as both that window and the upgrade window started to spin slowly coming together till a flash of light appeared and the [Cloning] skill appeared once more
Skill Upgraded!
[Cloning]
The user can now summon an exact copy of themselves
Max: 2
Requirement:Must have 5 magic (per clone)
Raven smiled at the results and he could now create two copies of himself! That goddess thought 1 more was bad. How will everyone else deal with two more of him? This whole time Iris was watching him, watching him, “wow it seems you got some good stuff!” She laughed a bit. Raven looked at her a bit embarrassed, “oh yeah I guess you would be able to see the system windows huh..” He laughed a bit before he got the message he was dreading the most
Get Ready [Player]
Trial 2 is now available!
You will be automatically transported to the trial!

9s
Raven panicked he wasn’t prepared for this as the timer ticked from behind he looked at Iris, “Ill uh be back soon?” he said, unsure about his own statement.
Transporting [Player]
He felt himself being pulled as it all went dark. He eventually woke up in what seemed to be a forest? The sunlight hit his face as he birds in the distance it seemed they were startled by something as they flew away from a tree they were resting in. He got up before actually realizing how dense this forest actually was. He was laying in a spot that seemed to be the biggest patch of sunlight in this forest.. He walked around a bit more it seemed he had little cleared out part of the forest he appeared in.. What could be the objective here? He stopped to think before realizing it's been a little bit since he's been outside. He tried his best to take it all in before a system window interrupted his thoughts.

Now you must survive their periodic onslaughts
Reward: Access to the [God] System
Penalty: Death
Waves completed
0/6
Raven looked at it tilting his head. He had to survive different waves..? If he assumed correctly that means each wave would get harder? A new window appeared after this one
[Player]!
You may have some control over the waves!
You can start the waves whenever you are ready
Be aware if you don't start them they will start on their own!
You may forfeit a wave but have to restart at the very first wave!
Next Wave Starts
1:59:58
Raven read this, nodding a bit pondering, “so..every wave starts in 2 hours if I don't manually start them? Well..there should be enough time to prepare for the wave..” Raven looked around not really having anything to do so he decided to explore. He walked outside of the cleared out area it was hard to see but he made his way around the forest soon he got a message a few footsteps outside of the area he spawned in.
While outside of the protection area
You will be hunted by monsters
The deeper into the forest area the stronger the monsters!
Raven smirked at this so it was basically an infinite hunting ground? Infinite monster meant..infinite grinding for stat points! He unsheathed his sword looking deep into the forest. He had an hour before he was forced to fight monsters. So if he could get a feel of what monsters he would be fighting he could adapt to their abilities and strengths..maybe even easily surpass them? This is the point where he realized his potential was boundless! Then a new yellow window appeared to his right lighting up the dark space of the forest, the light shining on his face.
A Special Request
The God:Ares
For every 5 monsters you will be rewarded
10 strength points!
Time Limit: Until Wave Starts
Penalty: None
Raven looked at this request with a big grin on his face. Now…how to get the monster's attention.. Raven then shrugged before cupping his hands around his mouth. He gave a big scream as it echoed throughout the forest. He stopped catching his breath he then heard shuffling looking up he didn’t actually realize it but the trees were huge! They must stand at 100 ft! He then watched some leaves shake then a green creature jumped at him giving a maniacal giggle. Raven dodged the creature as it impaled the ground with a small dagger. It looked at him with his big red eyes. The way it looked at him made Raven recoil at the sight of it; he then realized what this was. It was every classic monster in a video game! A goblin! Raven pointed his sword at it. That's when from behind where the goblin was standing a bunch of red eyes appeared from behind it in the darkness. Raven swallowed a nerve in his throat at the sheer amount of them.. He shook the nerves off as the multiple goblins lunged at him. Some jumped at him while some just rushed him from the ground. He took his sword to one jumping at him impaling it he threw it to the side letting it slowly bleed out after hitting a tree. He kicked one into another making them trample over one another. He then jumped back blocking a goblin that jumped at him pushing it back with the flat part of his sword. He then decided to retaliate, rushing forward; he quickly ended the life of two goblins, their head falling slowly off its shoulders. He then grabbed one by the throat that once again tried to jump at him. With this one he slammed it into the ground. He starts to sprint off a bit trying to use the trees to his advantage. Though this seemed smart the goblins used this as an opportunity to catch up easier jumping from branch to branch. Raven then stopped quickly as some kept jumping before they realized. Raven then tried his best to finish the ones that stayed and tried to fight him again. There seemed to be 5 here by themselves..Raven decided to try and end this quickly..
The Skill [Cloning] has been activated
Raven and one of his clones took up their swords leaving goblins in half. Raven was just getting done holding a goblin with his sword inside of it. He dropped the goblins corpse now 5 goblins lay dead on the ground, their blood forming a pool next to the roots of the trees. That's when the rest that ran off thinking they were still in pursuit arrived back on the scene. Like moths to a light they ignored their fallen comrades jumping at the male and his clone. Raven cut one down as it flung itself at him. Punching another with his free hand after it tried to sneak up behind him. The clone was putting in its own work as a goblin tried to strike at him, he cut its hand off then shortly executed it after. These two would continue their mass killing spree of goblins for a while losing track of time till almost out of nowhere. Raven found himself back in that little clearing.

You have gained
250 strength points!
Congrats [Player]
Your hunt was bountiful!
The [System] has decided that you’re difficult shall be raised!
[Medium ---> Hard]
The first wave will now begin
Raven laughed at the strength points he gained from the quest. Ares made a mistake at this level he should have no problem with the second trial and its waves! That's when entering the clearing 5 big orcs walked out from the tree line. Along with 25 goblins came stuttering from behind. Raven raised an eyebrow. Was this hard? He rushed at the orcs and goblins. They followed in suit. Raven put his sword away sending his fist right into the goblins head instantly killing it. He kicked another grabbing a jumping goblin by the throat he crushed his throat dropping it. Raven remained neutral as he went on a rampage killing these goblins. He killed about 10 of these goblins before ever facing an orc. As an orc approached it forced the goblins to back off of their attack. It then sent a mighty swing right at Raven. All the orcs wielded a giant wooden club. Raven stopped the club mid swing with his fist. Looking at the orc as it was hesitant on what to do next Raven grabbed the wood, splintering it in an instant. The orc looked shocked as Raven moved back slightly. The orc ran at him not backing down as it gave a war cry when a window popped up.
The [Admins]
Have taken action against the [Player]
Your original 250 stat points you gained have lessened to a gain of 125
Raven looked at the menu in shock, now the admins were against him?! He groaned at the sight of another window appearing
The Skill
[War Cry]
Has been used
The orc's strength has tripled!
Raven widened his eyes backing up more as the Orc sent furious punches into the ground chasing Raven. The male gritted his teeth those damn admins! He got those points himself! He hunted those goblins! Yes 125 was still good but they wanted him to be weaker even after they increased the difficulty! Raven didn’t even know the final strength stat of the Orc now.. A yellow menu popped up after this struggle he was going through.
A Special Request
The God:???
Fight the orcs onslaught off with your fists!
0/5
Reward: New System feature
Penalty: Strength points deducted!
Raven groaned, putting his sword away; he rushed at the orcs and it sent a giant fist at him. Raven matched the orcs' punch with his own fist. As they collide Raven felt his entire body shake from the orcs punch. He kept up the struggle a bit he then held off the punch they were stuck there holding each other's fist with their own fist. The raven cocked back his other arm, sending a punch at the Orc. The Orc retaliated grabbing onto Raven's arm. That's when he smirked. He had the orc all tied up on him.. One of Raven's clones came in socking the Orc in its face, not giving it time to react. Raven and the Orc went tumbling as the orc let go of Raven as he was punched leaving Raven on the ground as well. He got up quickly recovering from this. Raven marched over to the Orc trying to recover and lifted his foot stomping onto his head till its death. His stomping left an imprint on its head. Raven charged at the remaining Orcs. He just had to kill them before they could activate their buff right? Raven left the task to his clone to deal with the goblins who tried to jump at him. While Raven finishes off this stupid wave! This victory was in his grasp!
