Name: Greenie

Level: 50 ( 105 000/ 100 000 )

Race : Vajra Ogre (variant)  (more info in the race menu)

Strength : 120 (140) ( + 12 from item, + 8 from ability )

Agility :78 (96) ( + 10 from item, + 8 from ability)

Greenie had managed to level up the most compared to everybody else, he was only level 44 when they started the journey towards the park, but after finally defeating the giant ape and the hundreds of apes along the way he had managed to get enough exp to level up all the way to 40. Compared to Reign and the others Greenie couldn't equip a lot of items, that was simply the balance that the system brought as monsters at such caliber had an overwhelming advantage over the other races when it came to stats.

Greenie had the highest amount of strength and even when it came to other stats he was above most of them when it came to pure stat numbers. Reign and the others had more simply because their abilities and equipment gave them a lot of bonus stats compared to him. Of course, there was another thing that balanced them out, like a lot of the monsters, Greenie was also not as proficient when it came to controlling his mana and everybody in the party was better at it compared to him.

Mana was incredibly important as not only was it used for skills, but simply channeling mana in your body would make you stronger and tougher, with more mana and higher control over it a person that had lower stats could actually beat the opponent with relative ease.

It seemed that unlike Reign and the others, Greenie wasn't going to need to go through a challenge, he simply needed to take some time and he would naturally get through the first evolution. That was one thing that made races such as the Vajra Ogres so powerful, they didn't need to go through challenges until much later as their bloodline was enough to get them through the difficult start.

Reign and the others had once heard from Aethion that Vajra Ogres were born at the Transcendent level, of course, that was the true Vajra Ogres, they weren't like Greenie who had managed to evolve to one. Of course that came with benefits but disadvantages, even though they had incredibly powerful bodies that would reach the Saint-level upon maturity, their control over mana was so low that most of them struggled with going above the Saint-level and becoming gods.

That was why Vajra allowed other races to become Vajras by evolving, a long time ago there was no such thing as becoming a Vajra Ogre by mere evolution as the powerful god had forbidden it. It was only after seeing that the race he created was declining that he listened to a good friend of his and used his powers to allow other races to evolve.

Reign and the others however were now surprised by the notification, they knew that there would be a challenge waiting for them after hitting level 50, but they had no idea that the challenge could be failed. Does that mean that the people who failed it would need to take it again, would they forever be stuck on level 50, or would they simply continue leveling up without the added bonus of the first evolution?

That question was one that they definitely needed to ask Eldar after they come back to their territory, they were of course not planning on failing and were definitely going to give their all in order to finish the challenge, no matter what it was, but they wanted to know a bit more about the whole process.

Another surprise was that they also needed to wait before the challenge was given to them, previously when they hit level 10 and later for level 20 they simply needed to go to the class hall and go through the portal in order to receive a trial. Everything was done incredibly fast and they would only wait a bit between trials as they were given some time to rest by the system on purpose.

Since the system needed to determine exactly what kind of challenge each one of them was going to get then that meant that they were definitely not going to get anything easy and simple. Eldar had said that some people even take months in order to finish their challenge and they were definitely hoping that they wouldn't get one of those.

The first thing the party did was to pick up all of the items that were dropped after they had managed to kill the giant ape. Everyone was lying down on the ground as Laura did her best in order to heal them. Their injuries were serious and if not treated right away there was a chance of them not healing properly later on.

Tank for example needed to be held down by everybody as they slowly aligned his bones for Laura to heal. His arm had been broken in multiple locations and if she simply healed him there was a chance that the bones would become weird and his arm wouldn't heal properly. The pain Tank felt was excruciating as the power of his mark was gone and there was no more adrenaline-pumping after finishing the battle.

Of course, it wasn't easy for Wolf and Shadow either as they had a broken limb as well, compared to Tank however theirs was less serious and would be healed much easier. It was only after about half an hour had passed that the party members were somewhat healed by Laura who was panting heavily while sitting down. She was tired even before all of this and after using such a large amount of life force and demonic energy she felt as if she would faint any second now.

Tank's arm was healed, at least to a point as he still felt incredible pain and couldn't move it around easily, but the bones were healed up and didn't have any chance of causing problems later on. The same went for Wolf and Shadow as well.

Reign on the other hand didn't have any such serious injuries, there were some cracks that he had but those were easily fixed by Laura. His largest concern right now was the fact that after using the final attack his katana had an 11-day cooldown, it turned out that one could use both of the skills simultaneously but it would lengthen the cooldown of the weapon afterward.

They all slowly moved towards the giant tree as that was where the final anchor point was, even the Rank S item they had acquired after defeating the ape wasn't as important to them as the anchor point. After taking control of this the whole town would be theirs to control, they could create safe zones at any place in the town, and they could even transform the whole town into a huge safe zone where monsters were not allowed to live in.

Of course, as previously mentioned they were not going to do that as it would simply leave fewer areas for the players to use in order to level up and grow stronger.
