Radmilo finally took Lefter to his apartnt because he could not find another safe place. Also, he could imdiately rest after he and Lefter were done. Now they sat across from each other in the living room.
"My question is still the sa," Radmilo was the first to open the conversation. "Do you know anything about my power usage limits? I also found sothing strange with my system. You must know sothing about that."
"Yes, I know," Lefter replied.
"So, what happened to my system? Does it related to the limits on my power usage?"
"Yes, it's related."
Radmilo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he tried not to pull out the sword. If Lefter was not soone important, then that boy would be his target.
However, because Lefter was a Pri Mover, Radmilo had to muster up his patience. To calm his irritation, he assud Lefter had trouble explaining since the boy was from another world.
"I can't tell you even if I want to," Lefter suddenly spoke to Radmilo. "Pri Movers make contracts before starting the ga. There's one clause I can't explain to you."
Radmilo listened seriously. "I understand. Magic contracts can't be broken just like that."
"I'm glad you can understand. That contract clause leaves helpless about the oddities in your system. But I can talk about sothing else that you may not know."
"Then, continue your speech."
"The system was set up by a pri mover but she and the other pri movers can't just ss with the system. No one can change the system no matter how strong the pri mover is. The system only changes under certain conditions. Can you guess that?"
Radmilo did not want to guess anything since he was listening to sothing interesting. But still, he spontaneously answered because he had a guess.
"I think the system can change because of human power. When I went back in ti, I found sothing odd in my system that I wasn't aware of before."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Lefter imdiately snapped his fingers and smiled. "That's it! Humans' power can affect the system, depending on their strength. Actually, there is one more condition for the system change. I can't tell you because it's a secret, haha."
Talking about the system was indeed interesting, but Radmilo caught sothing that was no less interesting. He noticed Lefter snap his fingers. It was his trigger for activating the skill.
However, Lefter did not seem to need any triggers to activate his power. Radmilo spoke while rembering that he had experienced difficulties several tis because of the trigger.
"Who makes triggers for awakeners? It's troubleso, you know."
Lefter unexpectedly also showed an irritated face. "That trigger was a suggestion from one of the Pri Movers. He thought it would be too easy for humans if we didn't give them triggers. As a result, we rolled the dice to determine triggers for our contractors."
"Ah, I see. I hate my triggers because people always target my hand when they find out."
"You should be grateful. Your triggers are among the easiest. So awakeners have strange triggers, such as drinking blood or injuring themselves."
"Whatever. I wonder if the quest rewards are also rolled like dice or determined by the Pri Movers."
Lefter fell silent. He seed hesitant to speak.
"If it's a secret, then you don't have to say anything," Radmilo told Lefter as he intended to change the topic if the discussion of quest rewards was a secret.
"It's not a secret," Lefter said, stopping Radmilo from changing the topic. "I'm considering whether I should tell because it's going to be very long."
"You can summarize it if you're too lazy to talk. I'll listen carefully, so I can understand everything."
Lefter agreed to summarize the explanation. He stretched his hand into the air, and a mont later a small golden sphere appeared. "Pri Movers use this to store their belongings. All quest rewards are given by them from this."
"Did the drop items also co from the sphere?" Radmilo examined the golden sphere and found nothing special about it, other than the fact it could hold a lot of stuff.
"Item drops are not the responsibility of the Pri Mover. It's set automatically by the system maker. Then, the Pri Mover agrees to equalize the quest rewards given. But the system will offer special items automatically under so conditions."
The last sentence made Radmilo's mory go to the item book . He could tell that the item was not sothing that belonged to Pri Movers. The conflict would occur when one of them had the item.
"I just got an amazing item. You must know what it is because Clem once said you can see my inventory," Radmilo deliberately ford a box with his fingers as a clue. "Is it a special item from the system?"
Without hesitation, Lefter imdiately gave a nod. "Exactly. It's a special item since you already et the criteria to obtain it."
"What are the criteria for obtaining a special item?"
"You completed all the quests without missing a beat in your life."
Radmilo blinked, slightly confused by the answer. "Wait. What do you an I got a special item because I died before? I have never missed a quest in my previous life."
"Yes, you can get a special item in that condition. The item can appear automatically or through a quest like what happened to you. If the item appears automatically, it ans the recipient of the item has died."
Lefter stared at Radmilo like a teacher expecting an answer from the smartest student in the class. anwhile, it took Radmilo so ti to co up with sothing surprising.
"The item still appears automatically, even though the awakener has died," Radmilo muttered and was silent for a while when he realized sothing. He stared straight at Lefter. "Did it happen because soone has the power to steal soone else's item?"
"I don't think I need to answer that."
Radmilo fell silent again after receiving confirmation from Lefter. As he grew stronger and was noticed by the IRO, he beca close to Renate, the secretary. He once helped her to collect data about the awakeners.
The IRO created a database to store force lists. Not all the powers on the list were proven to exist. It was just an assumption because the IRO always anticipated new erging powers.
One of the powers in the list was 'Stealing'. Several awakeners were confird to have stealing powers. However, neither of them had been confird to have the power to steal items from other people's inventories.
Since it was not confird, Radmilo had two conclusions. First, the IRO was hiding the person as a secret weapon. Second, that person lived as an ordinary person because everyone would go through a power test when they register as a hunter.
"Who are the 'Supporters' who went to see the awakeners?" Radmilo decided to stop talking about special rewards because he already understood. He just needed to investigate further about the .
anwhile, Lefter counted on his fingers before answering. "I don't know. But there are ten more Pri Movers that going to earth."
"Why don't all the Pri Movers go to their contractors? It would be advantageous if they shared information like you are doing now."
"Pri Mover has criteria for eting their contractors. We will not go to et lazy humans who only rely on raid outcos. After becoming hunters, contractors usually don't care about the training or quests we give them because they get a base salary."
Radmilo could understand the Pri Mover's reasoning. As Lefter asked before, many awakeners beco lazy after becoming hunters. They were satisfied with their C rank because they could still raid with that rank.
Official guilds had guaranteed paynts for hunters who carried out raids, while official guilds also set fees for their hunters. The hunters could get additional inco from the items they get after raids.
As a result, so hunters did not have the enthusiasm to increase their rank. Moreover, the current situation was still quite safe because monsters would not co out of dungeons and there was Maido, who could predict the future.
The only threat was the dungeons that could move around. However, it was not a phenonon that occurred every day, so humans could carry out their activities in peace.
The hunters also felt the sa peace. Because of that, they felt that they had no reason to be strong. Radmilo was not one of them. He was motivated to be strong because he felt a threat everywhere.
The IRO was a place where strong people gathered.
Radmilo would not survive if he could only reach C rank. He must be stronger than those who had the privilege. Thus, he still had a chance to live.
Unfortunately, it did not last forever. Other people at the IRO were also growing. They continued to be strong enough to eliminate Radmilo.
