530 New Achievements and System Update? (1/2)

Notifications were flooding the corner of Jack's vision, reminding Jack of the meaning behind his victory. Also, this prompted Jack to open the menu and notice something interesting.

His level had gone up. It had shot up from the peak of lv. 88 to the very tip of lv. 89, giving some explanation for the minor relief that allowed Jack to hobble around. In fact, Jack's system showed that he still had a surplus of EXP that should've propelled Jack directly into lv. 90. But Jack hadn't.

[Mandatory System Update]

[Insufficient skill points to perform the process. Required: 30,000 skill points]

[First ever victor: claimed]

[Become the first person in history to defeat the temple guardian, claim the entrance's key, and gain the right to enter Daruun's Temple. Divine reward: 10,000 skill points]

Twenty-six thousand four hundred and seventy-six skill points… Reading his new total filled Jack with satisfaction, only to remember that he was still short of paying for his system update. And that's not including how Jack felt knowing that all of his hard-earned points would imminently vanish in a single instance.

Jack was still taking everything in for a moment, especially the confirmation of that door leading to Daruun's temple, when a familiar voice called out to him.

”Hey, Jack! You forgot about me!”

Looking near the entrance of the ninety-ninth floor, Jack spotted the white skull laying on the ground. ”I thought…”
