Reyansh entered his room and sat at the edge of the bed, his thoughts ran rampant before he replied to Sandra's message.
'First, let's see what kind of proposal it is?' He decided.
"Hello Sandra, yes, I am free at the moment. What proposal are you talking about?" He asked.
[The Blazing Sandra: Good, then you have an opportunity of a lifetime. If you performed well in your stream tomorrow, your journey as hunter will take a completely different turn.]
This response, baffled Reyansh a bit, he used Patron Insight ability on her again. It showed:
[Name: Sandra Ciel Von Nova]
[Intention: Excited & Hopeful]
"Miss Sandra, thank you for your enthusiasm but can you please tell me clearly, what's this about?" he questioned.
[The Blazing Sandra: I have invited a big shot viewer to your channel and depending on how he sees your performance, you could get the best rewards for a budding hunter.]
'The best, not one of the best, is she that confident? Her intentions are excited and hopeful but I don't know if she is being truthful or not.'
'Could it be something like Bet on blood?' his imagination was trying to reach a conclusion about something he had very little information about.
[The Blazing Sandra: So, I am asking you to do the same thing you did to me.]
"Huh???"
[The Blazing Sandra: That didn't come out right.]
[The Blazing Sandra: Basically, I know you have ability to copy the skills of your viewers and enhance it too.]
Reyansh brows raised as she mentioned this, 'She is scary good, her instincts are spot on. Is she really a Young Dragon?' he wondered.
[The Blazing Sandra: I am not gonna ask you for details, just use your ability on the viewer that joins after me.]
"Okay, can you tell me about the 'opportunity' you were talking about?"
[The Blazing Sandra: I will keep that a surprise, I will only say it will be very helpful to you. Do you have information about ranks beyond Epic?]
"I know there should be ranks beyond that but I have no knowledge about them."
[The Blazing Sandra: Okay, before we talk about that, have you started mana breathing yet or learned any type of skills yet?]
"Do you mean absorbing mana stone from monsters? No, I haven't, same goes for the skills."
For Reyansh, this talk with Sandra was like he was put on test again but patiently waited.
[The Blazing Sandra: Good, don't do anything yet. The reward I am talking about is supposed to be used just after awakening but due to circumstance you can't so keep yourself in same state as you were after awakening.]
[The Blazing Sandra: I know it sounds skeptical, but that's one of the prerequisite for using the rewards. You don't have to endanger yourself but try to maintain your current status quo.]
'Just what kind of rewards is it? Do I have to postpone my plan copy talents from her and Storm_Knight?' he wondered while he thought of a reply.
"Is there really necessary and why me, miss Sandra?" he finally asked.
[The Blazing Sandra: I wouldn't have mentioned that if it wasn't. Just remember the closer you are to when you awaken, better the results will be.]
[The Blazing Sandra: The other question is okay if you are doubting me. However, if you asked this just to hear praises of yourself, I will have to disappoint you.]
'Well, I will put permanent copy on hold for a moment, and work with temporary copy only.' He decided.
[The Blazing Sandra: Let me ask you something in return, What is your ultimate goal StarWalker?]
"To protect my family and myself."
[The Blazing Sandra: That's noble but I asked your ultimate goal not immediate.]
'Man, she is sharp. Should I share it with her? She won't be offended right,' he debated whether to tell her about his aim or not.
He used Patron Insight on her again.
[Intention: Hopeful & Curious]
'Well, she never had shown any negative thoughts towards me. Should I take a leap of faith?'
After thinking for an extra second, he decided to share it with her. His system had proved useful till now and even her attitude didn't raise any questions, so he decided to trust his first subscriber.
"I aim to become the Undefeatable Hunter in all dimensions." He stated.
Now, there was silence for few seconds from her side.
[The Blazing Sandra: Hahaha.....]×2
'Did I misjudged?' he wondered, watching her laugh but another panel appeared before he could lament his choice.
[The Blazing Sandra: I knew I was right about you.]
[The Blazing Sandra: So, StarWalker, if your aim is to become strongest in all dimensions then the reward I mentioned will be first step towards that long arduous journey of yours.]
[The Blazing Sandra: You asked me, why? Your answer itself is the reason. Now, how much you know beyond Epic rank and SSS rank mana core.]
"Nothing, beside that there is something."
[The Blazing Sandra: Okay, I will tell you this much, after Epic –> Legendary –> Ancient –> Divine. There is Mythical after Divine but that is very rare even in Apex dimensions.]
As he read the messages, he felt his brain was slashed by invisible blade. He started rubbing his head as the pain intensified with every second.
Another string of panels appeared beside the chat panel.
[You are accessing the information forbidden in your dimension]
[Your brain will be overloaded due to Dimensional Overreach]
Sandra, unaware of his present condition, shared further.
[The Blazing Sandra: In case of mana core, after SSS rank comes, Saint –> Sage –> Demigod –> High God –> #*@#* –> #*@*#*]
[You are exceeding your Mental capacity...]
Going through the splitting headache, he barely registered the notifications as he focused on reading the message first.
After Saint, reading even one letter proved herculean task for him. He curled up the bedsheet tight in his fingers as he gritted his teeth, forcing himself through the message.
He felt like his thought were being pulled apart from just glancing at the message.
'What the fuck is this, dimensional overreach? Why the fuck I can't access information about the dimensions where my stream reach?' He covered his mouth with pillow and screamed due to sheer pain, to not scare his sister.
He couldn't even read ahead of High God as he just closed his eyes, when the pain became completely unbearable.
He lay on the bed with pillow still covering his face as he sweat profusely. After he stopped reading, the intensity of pain started decreasing, albeit slowly.
[The Blazing Sandra: Hello? StarWalker, are you there?]
Sandra responded few seconds later, when she didn't get a reply. However, the next second, she send another message.
[The Blazing Sandra: Oh shit! Are you suffering from Dimensional Overreach?]
[The Blazing Sandra: Sorry, I thought since your stream in visible in all dimensions, you won't suffer from it. It's my oversight, wait a moment, I send you a Mental boost potion.]
A smile bloomed on Reyansh face amidst subsiding pain.
'It looks like, I trusted the right person.'
"No need. Don't worry, I am tougher than I look," he finally replied as he felt the throbbing pain getting reduced.
[The Blazing Sandra: Are you sure?]
"Yes."
[The Blazing Sandra: Okay, I will leave you to it. I hope you put a better show tomorrow, StarWalker. Rest for now.]
[The Blazing Sandra: All the best.]
"Thanks, I will." He responded as he rubbed his head slightly. For a moment, when pain was rising rapidly, he felt that the next second, his brain will explode.
He took a deep breath then exhaled, "I never knew headache like this was possible."
However, before he could decide his next move, his pain hadn't completely subsided when another panel popped up.
[Your talent has adapted to the excessive Mental load...]
[Your Perception and Intelligence has increased]
[You have gained a Trait Spark: Mental Resistance]
"I knew you wouldn't disappoint," a triumphant smile appeared in his face, "Now the pain was somewhat worth it."
His celebration about new Trait Spark hadn't even ended when one more panel appeared.
[Due to accessing the information of Apex dimension even while residing in a Low Dimension...conditions have been met.]
[You have gained a Mythical title – The One Who Knows Beyond]
