Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Alex had high hopes for this quest.

He had already seen the thing he got just from attending the coronation ceremony, and it was something that would cost billions, if not more, to buy from the store, and billions were not something he was close to even with all the points he had right now.

The 100 million points he got along with it were just a bonus.

'Open it.'

So, he replied to the question that the system had asked without much waiting.

He wanted to see what the reward this time would be.

'It should be better than the last one, at least.'

Alex muttered inwardly.

The reward of slaying a protagonist must be better than the reward one would get from just getting crowned as a demon lord, or so he thought.

[Actually…]

But just as Alex was hopping for something good, he heard Sophia's words filled with uncertainty.

Alex frowned in confusion, but before he could ask for her to complete her words, he got his answer…

[- 100,000,000 points.

- A question card (one-time use only).

- One Random ability unlocking card.

- An EX-ranked random weapon.]

As he gazed at the rewards he had gained from this quest, he realized why Sophia had said those words earlier.

Those rewards, other than the points he gained, weren't actually that good.

'Why is the quality of reward so low?'

He asked inwardly with a frown.

On the outside, however, he still had a smile as he continued to stroke Noctura's fur.

[Let me check.]

That was all he heard from Sophia before everything went quiet for a few seconds.

It looked like even Sophia wasn't aware of the reason.

Well, she wasn't the one who generated the quests, nor did she have the power to judge the quest as complete or rate the quest.

That's why she had to ask the system about it.

[The system had judged the solution you had come up with as a mediocre case.]

The answer Alex wanted to hear was finally given to him; the answer didn't leave him satisfied, though.

'I know it was not the best solution, but why is it mediocre?'

Alex questioned with a frown.

He could think of many ways to improve it, but he was too lazy to do it for an easy target like Rohrg.

But still, how was his solution just so-so?

[The first point is that you didn't kill the protagonist by your own hands.]

Sophia's words echoed in his mind, making a bulb of realization light up.

Alex never thought that having Rohrg killed by someone else would degrade the quality of the reward, or he wouldn't have done that.

If he knew, then he would've just killed Rohrg in the throne room.

As for Seraphyra, he would've come up with something.

But he just sighed in resignation.

What was done couldn't be changed; he would just try better next time.

[The second major point is that you let the knowledge that Rohrg Ashenfang had about the future go to waste.]

Sophia, on the other hand, continued.

'Well, I had that in account; I just didn't want that knowledge.'

Alex, however, just shrugged at this point.

[I know, but it is counted as well.]

Alex didn't want to know about the future events, as they would spoil the fun.

Knowing everything could make things predictable for him, and even as it was, things were already easy for him.

He didn't want to make it easier.

Sophia also knew that, but the system didn't judge the quest according to Alex's convenience; it did that based on several factors.

'Hm.'

Alex just nodded at her words.

Those two facts were enough to cause the quest completion progress rating to go down.

[... there are more points if you want to hear them.]

Sophia added with a slight pause.

'Nah, it's fine.'

But Alex just waved it off.

He could now guess how the system judged the quest, so he could find many faults in his way, so he didn't want to hear it.

That would just be a waste of time.

But then his eyes turned toward a reward that he didn't focus much on, and he frowned.

'What is this question card?'

Alex questioned in a confused voice.

He tried searching for it in the system shop, but there was nothing like that in there, and this only puzzled him more.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'Didn't the system reward things from the store?'

Alex couldn't help but mutter inwardly.

Why was it not in the store if the rewards are always from the store?

[That's weird; I can't find any data on that thing.

Even the system doesn't show much information about that thing.]

Sophia, just like Alex, sounded confused.

Why could she not find any information about the 'question card'?

'What information does the system have about this thing?'

Alex, however, wanted to know whatever he could about this item.

If even Sophia couldn't tell what this item was, then there was no way that it was normal.

It should be someone out of the chart, and since it was not in the system store, which directly means that he couldn't buy it again, this item turned invaluable.

[It says that you can write any question you want to get an answer for in that card; that's all.]

Sophia replied to Alex's words.

But Alex's frown deepened.

'Any question? Are there any limitations?'

Alex inquired again.

[No, that's all that I could find about that card.]

Sophia replied in a regretful voice.

But just like Alex, she was confused about what this thing was.

She tried to inspect the item with her powers, but even that didn't work; the system was preventing her from doing it.

[You do not have the authority to inspect that item.]

This line of red text was the only thing she could find, no matter how many times she tried.

Both Alex and Sophia did get the general idea of what it could be but they didn't want to take risks.

It was a-one-time-use item after all, and there was no way to buy it again.

If they somehow didn't use it in the most effective way, then it would be a waste.

But just as Alex and Sophia were pondering what the item was, Luna's voice was heard.

"So, what was the reason for you calling me here?"

Her voice broke Alex out of his thoughts, and he finally focused on Luna.

His focus finally returned to the topic at hand—on the thing that he was supposed to be doing right now.

He had called Luna here for a reason, after all.

It was time to finally let Luna have an upgrade of bloodline; she needed it in this world—especially in the Demon Empire, where bloodline was respected as much as strength was.
