Sufferer Hunter

[Congratulations on completing the Trigger Quest "Bring Peace to the Children." Rewards: 10 Mist Points, 100 ml of Ordinary Filthy Blood, 10 Hardened Black Bread, and 1 Attribute Title Gift Box.]

"Your quest rewards have been sent to your [Inventory]. Please check."

Colin immediately poured the 100 milliliters of Ordinary Filthy Blood into the nearly depleted Hurricane Lamp.

In an instant, the dim candle flame blazed brightly, and the fog that had been closing in within five meters retreated beyond a ten-meter radius.

His field of vision suddenly opened up!

"Not only can it burn for three hours now, but the light's range has changed too."

Colin stared in surprise. His available space had doubled, and it took him a moment to adjust!

Thinking back, he recalled that the earlier prompt had mentioned the range would increase, but hadn't said by how much. He'd simply overlooked it.

However, just as Colin was about to spend some Mist Points to "repair" his injuries, additional system text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Quest Completion Rating: S (sss is the highest)]

[In recognition of your outstanding performance and near-perfect completion of the quest requirements, the system will grant you an additional reward.]

"Congratulations! You have received '1 Recovery Card,' transferred to your Inventory!"

"Congratulations! You have received '1 Level 1 Backpack Expansion Card.' Your Inventory was full, so it has been used automatically!"

"Congratulations! You have received '10 Mist Points,' transferred to your Inventory!"

"Congratulations! You have received '1 Treasure Map Fragment,' transferred to your Inventory!"

Four rewards flashed by one after another. Colin gaped for a moment, then couldn't stop a smile from spreading across his face.

He hurriedly opened his [Inventory]. Sure enough, it had now expanded to thirty-six slots!

[Recovery Card (for Lord use only): Fully restores all bodily functions and removes all negative effects currently affecting you.]

[Note: As long as this guy's still breathing, he won't die—not even if the God of Death comes for him. I said it!]

"Tsk. That note's got some attitude."

Colin chuckled and used the [Recovery Card] without hesitation.

The next second, he felt a strange force sweep over him. In less than a second, every ache and pain in his body vanished!

"Woohoo!"

Colin let out a long breath.

It felt so good to be healthy again!

"Congratulations, Lord!" The two Servants immediately offered their congratulations.

Colin waved a hand, then looked at the gift box containing the attribute title and opened it. A black iron badge appeared in its place.

[Name: Sufferer Hunter.]

[Type: Level 1 Title.]

[How to use: Wear it on any part of your body.]

[Attributes: While wearing this title, all your personal attributes are increased by 30% (the bonus will never be less than 0.3; increases below 0.1 are not calculated).]

[Special Effect 1: "Hunting Moment": When you actively use this skill, your strength, agility, and stamina are doubled, and you enter an extremely calm hunter mode. (Lasts for three minutes. You can extend it to ten minutes, but you will suffer temporary fatigue depending on how long you use it. Cooldown: 1 to 3 hours.)]

[Note 1: Weakness can sometimes follow excessive exertion.]

[Special Effect 2: "Aberration Scholar": Since you have killed a hundred Aberations, you will trigger the exclusive "Weakness Perception" effect when facing Aberations from now on. (The stronger the enemy you face, the slower the effect will take hold.)]

[Note 2: Nothing special—just practice makes perfect.]

[Notice: This title can grow. Requirements for the next promotion: kill one Lord-level Aberration, three Elite Aberrations, and one hundred ordinary Aberrations.]

Seeing the familiar effects, Colin's eyes lit up. The benefits of boosting all his attributes spoke for themselves.

Although its current effect wasn't as good as the Priest's Wheel, this kind of percentage-based increase would grow along with him.

Even now, an increase of 0.3 to all his attributes was no small thing for Colin.

And the first special effect was practically divine!

Strength, agility, stamina—in simple terms, they meant "stronger, faster, and more durable."

As long as he used it properly, Colin could turn the tables in all kinds of desperate situations and avert disaster.

Its usefulness was self-evident.

"But that note's a little cheeky." Colin scoffed inwardly. A real man only needs three minutes.

Besides that active effect, the second special effect was also quite powerful.

Most of the enemies he encountered in the Gray Fog were Aberations.

With this skill, he'd have a natural advantage against all Aberations.

He could quickly target their weak points and land a lethal blow.

However, this effect overlapped somewhat with Colin's Cheat, since its prompts could also reveal an enemy's weaknesses.

One was passive, almost instinctive; the other was active and required him to think. They worked somewhat differently.

"No, these two can work together perfectly. When facing a stronger monster, I can get a prompt and then use this passive ability. That way, I can immediately find even a high-level enemy's weakness..."

The only shortcoming was that this effect applied only to Aberations.

However, as far as Colin could tell, most of the monsters in the fog were Aberations. He didn't know whether that would change later, but for now, the effect was absolutely perfect.

More importantly, this title could actually grow!

He had no idea how many times it could grow, but its current attributes already seemed terrifying to Colin. Who knew how outrageous the next upgrade would be?

Colin then fastened the Sufferer Hunter badge inside his clothing pocket. At once, he felt a refreshing comfort throughout his body.

The first change he noticed was that his vision had become markedly clearer, followed by changes in his body, strength, and the speed of his thoughts.

Colin felt like he could take on ten men at once!

[Treasure Map Fragment * 3: Collect all seven fragments to obtain a complete Treasure Map. Exploring the treasure map will yield rich rewards!]

[Note: Obtainable by completing quests or killing monsters.]

[You realize that there may be a fragment like this somewhere ahead of your home. Starting a treasure hunt as soon as possible is very important for your growth.]

"Three fragments. The other two came from that female Survivor, so she really did find something."

After a quick look, Colin turned his attention elsewhere. He didn't plan to go over everything he'd acquired here.

After all, they were still outdoors. This wasn't the right place.

So far, he hadn't spent more than three minutes stopped here.

"Time to head back."

With that, Colin looked at the benches.
