nAs Ryder entered inside the hall with the High Elders, he realized that it wasn't like he had expected at all.

nHe could see no treasures there. In fact, the whole room was completely empty except for the one thing that was at the end of the room.

nIt seemed like a humanoid statue. The statue was 6 feet tall only.

nThe statue depicted a person that stood proudly as if he was the ruler of this world. He seemed like an average human, but there was something different.

nA human could never look so charming and prideful as the person in the statue. Even though it was just a statue, Ryder could feel a distinct aura of the person in the statue just by looking. Although the statue didn't have a color, Ryder had a vision in his mind as to the colors.

nHe could see that the man wore beautiful clothes, just like what an Emperor should possess. The black armor made him look dashing and brave, while the red robe behind his back gave him the King like vibe.

nThe man held a Pitch Black sword in his hand. A few blood-red lines could also be seen on the sword, like the pulse of the sword as if the sword was alive.

n

"Hey, Kid! Get down on your knees to pay respect!

" High Duke Oris said as he saw Ryder just standing there in a daze.

nRyder gained back his focus and realized that all the High Dukes were on one knee as if they were paying respect to the statue.

n'This can't be the statue of Salem, can it?' Ryder thought as he stepped near the statue.

nAfter sitting on their knees for around 5 minutes, they all stood up.

n

"This is the statue of our god. Before becoming the Prince, you must sacrifice some of your blood to him as a form of respect. You'll gain his blessing,

" High Duke Magna informed Ryder.

n

"Blood?

" Ryder exclaimed in surprise.

n

"Don't worry; just one drop will be enough. Just make sure that the drop falls on his feet,

" High Duke Oris said, smiling.

nRyder nodded as he stepped towards the statue. As soon as he got within the 5-meter proximity of the statue, he was able to feel a sense of familiarity with the statue. It was as if he could feel the closeness with the statue. He put the thought to the back of his head as he continued getting closer.

nHe stopped right before the statue and got down to his knees. There was already a knife placed there nearby.

n'Sigh, this is giving me the creepy vibes,' Ryder thought as he picked up the knife, but he knew that if he became the Prince, he was sure that his journey in the game would be smoother.

nHe used the Knife as he tried cutting his finger lightly. The knife was so sharp that it felt easier than he expected.

nHe extended his finger towards the feet of the statue as he made the blood drop fall on the feet of the statue.

nAs soon as the drop of blood fell on the statue, he saw a vision flash before his eyes.

nHe saw that he was flying, and he was being assaulted by people that could also fly. He held the same sword as the statue.

nThe vision only lasted for 1 second before he returned to normal.

nHe looked around in confusion and saw that he was still in the room.

n

"You can stand up now. The door is open,

" He was still thinking about what just happened when he heard the voice of High Duke Oris.

nHe stood up and saw that there was a door on the wall that previously wasn't there.

n

"Don't delay. You can go inside and get something good for yourself. Think of it as a blessing from the god,

" High Duke Oris said smilingly.

n'Blessing? Is this finally the time for rewards?' Ryder thought as his mood finally improved.

nHe smiled as he hurriedly nodded his head and excitedly walked inside the door that had just appeared.

nHe found himself in a different room that was just as empty as the last one, but he did see something on the ground.

nIt looked as if it was a crystal that was only 1 inch in size.

nHe walked forth and touched the crystal, but as soon as he touched it, the crystal disappeared, and he started getting notifications one after another.

nFragment of Time found

nBracelet of Immortality: One Seal broken

nDouble Experience unlocked

nSkill Received: Ruler of Time

n 10 Level

nAll Stats 150

nHe received 6 notifications one after another, and they all shocked him, but that wasn't enough.

nAnother set of notifications started coming.

nReached Level 30: Hidden restriction of Quest of Salem unlocked. Species changed to High Demon.

nReached Level 30: Hidden restriction of Quest of Salem unlocked: Class Quest Unlocked

nSince the 2nd hidden Restriction of the Quest of Salem is Unlocked, the second special ability of Moon Scythe is Unlocked.

nUnlocked Skill: Weapon Transformation

nRyder just stood there with his mouth wide open. He was having a moment of elation at all these notifications. He just wanted to keep reading these awesome notifications again and again.

nIn an instant, he had gained 10 levels, and that was not all. All his stats had increased, and from now on, he would receive double Experience from whatever he does. All of it happened when just the first seal was unlocked. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen when all seals would be unlocked.

nWhat's most important at the moment was that the Class Quest was unlocked.

nHe began checking the notifications to understand better. First, he went to the skills to understand what time reversal was.

nRuler of Time: Time is absolute, and no one can change it except the one who truly controls it. The one that truly masters the time can never be defeated.

nSkill 1: Time Reversal

nSkill 2: Locked (Level not enough)

nSkill 3: Locked (Level not enough)

n

"It's a set of 3 skills?

" He let out in surprise.

nHe clicked on time-reversal to see if it actually meant he was thinking.

nTime Reversal:

nPassive Skill: When the wielder dies, the time is rewind by 1 day

nActive Skill: Users can rewind time willingly.

nCurrent limit: 30 minutes per day

n(Note: Reversed Time depends on the level of the user. Every level increases 1 minute)
