Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293: A Long Way

Sylas woke up from his stupor, having cleared the ninth door in just a few seconds. The final three doors had been far too easy, but they had also taken the most time to complete. He spent more time on the seventh door than he had the previous six, and that pattern only continued. However, it was still invaluable for refining his memory and sharpening his Rune deployment.

'I'll have to find a chance to use a Nexus again so that I can trade for the next—'

[You have pleased the system, System Breaker]

[The system is watching you]

[System Reward Received]

Sylas' eyes became sharp. The last time he had read a similar message was when he awakened System Breaker, his Title. Back then, he had also gotten a System Reward, and that should be part of the reason why he was able to have three Legendary Paths instead of just one like most people for his Profession.

Now, he had received another System Reward, but to what end? He wasn't awakening anything any time soon, as far as he knew. And, even when he tried to click on the reward, nothing came up. It was like it was completely dormant.

However, when Sylas looked at his Slot Machine, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

[Tickets: 212]

He wasn't sure if he should be happy or disappointed by that.

On the one hand, he hadn't even done much yet, but he had already gained so many tickets. But on the other, it felt like an acknowledgment of the system should probably be worth

more.

'Regardless, the System Reward is still there. So, I've benefited twice over. That said... there's something fishy about this. Why did the system suddenly reward me for doing something that I would have done anyway?'

Sylas could only speculate, but if he had to guess...

His mind flashed to the images of Earth's broken Runes.

The system had its own rules, but those rules were certainly capable of being broken. The Slithering Madness Dungeon had certainly broken one or several of those rules. Then there was the event of the Basilisk King that was another such event. Then there was Azrael's existence, and even the weird Archibald.
