Meanwhile, back in his own room, Logan could be seen sitting quietly as he stared at the rewards displayed on the screen in front of him.
[First Quest Complete: Spend time with your mother.]
[REWARD: You've unlocked a new system feature: Summoner.]
[The host can now use system points to summon deadly beasts and specialists, loyal completely to you and your mother, who will help you both rise to the top of the food chain not only in this city, but in the world as well.]
"Oh wow."
[Second Quest Complete: Learn about the world you are now in.]
[REWARD: Enhanced Elven Physique.]
[With this new physique, your learning speed for combat-related skills has been significantly increased. Your muscle memory will also be able to retain techniques with little to no repeated effort and your muscle growth from physical training will be occurring far faster than normal henceforth.]
"Whoa, that's really cool."
[You've also obtained 10 attribute points in addition to 1000 system points.]
[Bonus Reward: You've been rewarded with a Formula Knowledge of a Regenerative Body Cream.]
[The advantage of obtaining this knowledge will enable the host to create body creams capable of having the following effects.]
[Effects: Body creams will be capable of reducing visible signs of aging. They'll be able to deeply hydrate and repair damaged skin, and they'll be able to gradually improve the overall skin texture and tone of anyone using it continuously.]
Staring at the screen in front of him, Logan was understandably short on words.
This was because not only had he acquired a summoning feature and an enhanced elven physique, but he had also been rewarded with a skincare recipe, and out of all those three things he'd been rewarded with, Logan knew that the one he was most excited about right now was the enhanced elven physique he had been gifted with.
This was because he had taken a look at his reflection last night and this morning as well when he and his mother had another pleasant bathing session together.
But when he checked his reflection on the screen, Logan was genuinely surprised to see how someone living in a rich mansion could look so lean almost as though he hadn't eaten in days.
"But I guess this means that with my new physique, I'll be visiting the gym a lot more now."
Building up some muscles was a must in his books especially if he wanted to woo the ladies later on and with a face like his, he was certainly going to do that and he had already set his sights on his first target already.
But for now, that wasn't important.
Anyways, speaking of his appearance, Logan had blonde hair and crimson coloured eyes just like his mum.
And since he was clearly an elf, his appearance was a hundred times better than how he looked back in his previous world.
This would also explain why the world had some of its best musicians and pop idols being elves.
It was just too difficult to deny how good-looking an elf was, regardless of what gender they might be.
"Yeah, it would certainly be nice to have an elf girlfriend too."
Logan muttered softly as an image of Odette appeared in his mind.
Although, he had only seen her briefly last night, still, her beauty had left a massive impression on him and Logan wouldn't mind getting to know her a little more.
But just when Logan was wondering where she was right now, a new screen suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Notice to the host!!]
[Notice to the host!!]
[Minute traces of mana detected in the surrounding air.]
[To awaken mana within your own body, the host must locate a burning tree bearing a pair of fruits known as Awakening Fruits.]
"Woah, mana exists in this world?" As a young man who had spent most of his time in his previous world, reading manga, manwha, NovelBins and webtoons, Logan had read his fair share of fantasy novels, so he knew what mana was.
But to think that this world actually had that concept felt really exciting to him.
"But what do you mean, I would have to find a burning tree bearing Awakening Fruits?" Logan asked the system and not a single response was given to him, allowing him to immediately acknowledge the fact that his system wasn't one of those sentient types he'd read a lot about in his past life.
"Oh well, it isn't the end of the world."
"So, I'll definitely be alright on my own even without a system answering my every question."
Pushing this thought aside for now, Logan decided to search for it instead.
And so, he picked up his phone, then he began surfing the internet in search of anything relating to awakening fruits and mana.
However, to his surprise, he found little to nothing about the topic.
He did find a few forum posts calling it an urban legend but it didn't really contain any tangible information that might be useful to him.
Then he noticed a conspiracy blog insisting that the concept of mana was just a hoax cooked up by strange pharmaceutical companies to hide the existence of supernatural energy from the public.
"...What the hell?"
He scrolled down with the expectation of finding something useful for him to note down but all he found were just ridiculous explanations and blurry photographs leading to cat videos and food porn.
*Sighs*
"Alright, I guess that's enough internet for me for one day." Logan immediately placed his phone into his pocket as he sighed whilst staring at the ceiling.
But to his surprise, a series of images flickered through his mind and it didn't take long for Logan to realise that they were actually memories of what had happened to the previous host, prior to his death.
