"You've been unconscious for 3 weeks, but you're rapidly healing so in no less than 48 hours, you will be in top condition. After you have been discharged meet me at the barracks for an urgent announcement." While saying this his General tossed the tablet with data and analysis of Harold's health aside. He then walked out, not waiting for any further questions from Harold
Harold could only shake his head and rest it on the pillow below, in the corner of the room was monitor was playing footage of the Grand Regent and his speech, "Still...I'm nowhere near him, maybe one day if I keep fighting and putting my life at risk, I'll catch up. For now, there are plenty of targets across the galaxy that can give me a good challenge."
For now had nothing to worry about since there were still many years before cannon events take place, and by then he will be atleast 50% as strong as Thragg if he keeps training and fighting strong opponents.
Then finally he will find Levy and find a way to crossover to DC or Marvel, where there's a nonsensical amount of strong beings, hopefully he can take them on and grow stronger and stronger at the very possible limit of Viltrumite strength, which to his knowledge, there isn't.
Even if there is, he will try his best to push past those limits. 'For now I can only rely on mu current strength and train, a good challenge would be the Rognarrs, sure I may be asking for death, but if I can fight them and survive, imagine the increase in strength"
[Ding! Host, since you have grown stronger and killed Conquest himself, influencing the plot, you have earned an upgrade to the system. The system can now issue tasks that will track and project future results]
Harold stared in disbelief. He wondered why the systems upgrade all of sudden just because he changed the plot, initially he believed this was simply a status window system, nothing more.
But now it could do more than show his stats; it can now issue tasks and showcase the rewards for completing them in the form of a projection of future results.
[Ding! New feature unlock. Open the Task section and create a task, the rewards will be generated depending on the complexity of the challenge]
Harold opened the section without further hesitation, he didn't want to think about the system and its mysterious nature anymore, upon opening the section he clicked on new task and created a task for himself.
The system analyzed the entry and then made a few calculations before revealing the results.
[Task: Kill 15 Rognarrs
Reward: 30% Strengh; 25% Speed; 50% Endurance Increase]
'That's 1 month's worth of training,' Harold thought as he grew excited. Just by killing 15 of these creatures, he would get such boosts compared to training normally. To test it out more, he created another task for training to see how much reward he would get from the physical training.
[Task: Lift 1 billion tons 550 Reps]
Reward: ERROR (Host isn't engaged in combat)]
'Huh, it seems the system won't give any rewards outside of combat'. As for lifting 1 billion tons, there were facilities for that in place for Viltrumites to train when they had time.
He continued testing out the new task feature, eventually he created a different kind of task, and what he saw made his fall agape.
[Task: Kill Grand regent Thragg]
Rewards: 400% Strength; 500% Speed; 1200% Endurance; Combat efficiency 40%; Reaction Time 120%; Instincts 25%]
'So many boosts....heh, I guess I'll have climb the ladder of strength abit faster'.
The rewards were too tempting to let go of even though he was far from being capable of accomplishing the task. But it was Milestone worth working towards.
With this is mind he closed his eyes rested for another day. Since the cannon events were still far away and people like Angstrom Levy weren't born yet, he had enough time to prepare.

After his full recovery Harold went to the barracks on the Viltrume planet to meet his General along with other officers. Arriving though he saw no one but himself, so he only shrugged and walked further into the meeting room.
Upon entering he saw his General and 2 other figures, seeing the red uniform with a coat covered in white fur he immediately kneeled, he already knew who this was.
"At ease young one, rise" Thragg said as he sat where the General usually sat, a bigger chiar compared to others since they were only officers. Besides Thragg was his General and General kregg himself.
He quickly used the system to assess them as he rose from his kneeling position. Above General Kregg's head, he could see Level 3 aswell which made him smirk internally with pride, but Thragg was a different story, above his head wasn't even Rank 5, it was just questions marks.
'Holy....is he that's strong?, how the hell did Mark manage?' Harold thought feeling hopeless inside, he thought he would at least be Rank 5, but questions meant he's even beyond.
"So your the one who killed Conquest, a seasoned Warrior and valuable asset in this time of great struggle" Thragg asked him while the Generals remained dead silent.
"He was weak grand regent, I did what I had to do...I rid the empire of a para–"
"Stop!....Harold" He called out his name while he stood up and walked closer, "I do not want you to feel demoralized for showing us the truth about the weakness in our society, your did your duty and purged those with doubt and discontent in their hearts. As for Conquest....if he couldn't survive this, then he wasn't meant to live any longer"
Thragg stood next to him while placing one hand on his shoulder continuing, "You have proven your strength and loyalty...but there's still much to be done. Prepare to replace Conquests; you will now assume his role of scouring the world and subjugating them. Continue to prove your strength, Harold, and remember all is ours."
With that, he removed his hand and walked out of the room along with his Generals, Harold finally breathed out, sighing in relief. His stoic face crumbled, revealing an excited expression.
