Chapter 83: Quest Rewards (1/2)
While walking back to the Pavilion, Rakna decided to look over the prompts he had skipped after the fight with Verias and he quickly realized how much it was. Other than the level-up notices, he obviously already knew of the first one, namely, the fact that he had grown his third tail.
However, the changes it brought along were something he hadn't been able to inspect. He opened his status and then pulled up the descriptions of the two skills concerned.

❮ ◈ ❯
⠀
Shadow Step (Lv.1): By becoming one with the essence of shadows, your movement speed will increase by 200% for two seconds. If used within the dark, the effect will become 300%.
Regardless, whenever the skills are activated, the user will become concealed by shadows until the duration is over.
⠀
Cooldown: 100s (Level 1)
Note: The effect does not influence the root value of the user's attributes. Keep in mind that the burst of speed granted by the skill does nothing to scale the user's swiftness.
⠀

⠀
True Smell of the Wolf God: The Host gains the ability to recognize auras through smell. Moreover, according to the user's preference, they will gain the ability to perceive emotions as different scents as long as they are close enough.
⠀
Additional Effect: +100% Senses

'Shadow Step is the speed burst skill that the nine-tailed cub used against me. As for the Wolf God trait… do I have to consciously activate it?' Rakna thought and before he even could finish that line of thought, something struck his brain and made him hold his head in pain in the middle of the street.
His sense of smell had suddenly been saturated with scents that he had never smelled before but he could somehow tell which was what without even thinking about, 'Boredom, anxiety, fear, care, curiosity, happiness, love…' His headache calmed down as he gradually filtered the scents coming from the people around him.
He managed to get it under control but it still seemed a bit too overwhelming. He reflexively covered his nose although he knew it wouldn't do anything. 'Should I keep it deactivated? No… I better get used to it. What better time than now.'
After resolving to it, he rubbed his nose one last time and focused on the rest of the windows. The result of eating Verias was predictable so he quickly jumped to the last ones.

'With this, I have 46.6 attributes points and 2 skill points again. The consumables are a nice bonus and the title is pretty normal overall. Other than its growth potential, it's not that different from the others. As for the cards… Alexa, where are they? Were they put in my storage?'
[Affirmative. Every physical reward you gain from a Quest will be transferred to your storage. In the case that you don't have any room or simply don't have one, the rewards will be put on hold until you choose to claim them manually.]
'I see. Thanks,' he replied and opened his Item Box to find them. After filtering them out to the front, he pressed on both of them and opened their description.
