    “Hngh…”

    ‘What year is it? Am I really back or is this some kind of illusion?’

    A disoriented Roland grasped his head which was on fire. He could barely keep one of his eyes open as the experiences that he absorbed in the trial came rushing in. This phenomenon wasn’t new to him but this time around it felt exacerbated. The trial space was a big mystery but in theory, a person’s soul was leaving their body. Then after it was finished all of the information that was gained in that space needed to be somehow transferred also into the brain and body.

    This time around the transference was augmented by the fact that a change from tier 2 to tier 3 was different. While a person going from tier 1 to tier 2 wouldn’t experience any growing pains, it wasn’t the same in this case. There was a reason that people that managed to get into this rank were called the elites. Their bodies went through a drastic change as they acquired several skills that made them into enhanced superhumans.

    ‘It feels like I’m getting bitten by thousands of ants…’

    Even with his pain resistance and resilience skills working overtime, he felt like he would pass out at any moment. Normally he would have just accepted his fate but after getting through so much time in the trial zone he was fed up with it. His stubbornness had reached a new zenith as he decided to power through the massive migraine along with the pain his whole body was going through. During the whole debacle, he could only grit his teeth and look at the screens appearing to keep himself distracted.

    You have gained the Runesmith Overlord Class

    You have gained the Overlord’s Organs trait.

    You have gained the Overlord’s Muscles trait.

    You have gained the Overlord’s Skeleton trait.

    They just kept coming and he kept reading through these strange passive skills. Roland knew that something like this would have happened but he didn’t expect to see those names. Usually what a tier 3 class holder would be given were skills like ‘Advanced Skeleton’ not what he received. The probability of this just being a higher form of the same passive skill was true but he had no research or guides to confirm this claim.

    You have gained the Overlords Tendons trait.

    You have gained the Overlords Nervous System trait.

    His whole body was changing, the moment his nervous system got enhanced he could feel the pain subsiding in a more substantial manner. It was as if it gave him some control over the pain threshold even more. His whole body was enhanced and he started to actually feel it. After the worst part was over the feeling of euphoria washed over his pain-stricken body that had gone through a change.

    “Why do I feel so light…”

    For the time being he ignored the other pop-up messages that this world’s game-like system was giving him. Below him, a puddle of sweat was formed along with some strange puss-like substance. Roland had heard of something like this happening but had thought it were just rumors. It seemed that some of the toxins that were stuck in his body were forcefully pushed out and after the process was over, it was as if all the build-up stress that he accumulated was gone.

    “I don’t remember the last time I felt so relaxed, it’s as if I’ve finally gotten a good night’s sleep in forever.”

    After tirelessly working and not sleeping for more than a couple of hours a day his body was slowly deteriorating. Roland had kept ignoring it but sooner or later it would finally catch up to him. Even when there were potions to alleviate everything he was never really at a hundred percent. Now after going through the tier 3 class change, it was as if his whole body was reborn and he was given a second chance.

    “…But what is that smell…”

    While he felt refreshed his whole body along with the chair and ground he was sitting previously in, had been soaked by the strange body liquid. He really wanted to look over his new skills but doing it in this smelly room wasn’t optimal. There was also one other aspect of himself that he was interested in seeing as his body had gone through some changes as well. The best way to get around this would be to take a bath and take a look in the mirror.

    Thus he headed out of the workshop where he activated the class crystal previously. For the time being he didn’t bother with cleaning up as he was feeling a bit frantic. His mind had not processed everything that had actually happened. The time spent in the trial area was just tremendous and he hadn’t actually realized that he didn’t really have an interaction with a real being for close to two years.

    Even the walk from this workshop had him feel that it was all a dream. So much time had passed during the trial with the wooden people and then a period of learning was close to six months. There was just so much theory he needed to absorb and learn how to apply his mana to learn the new tier 3 rune crafting skills. His steps were silent and slow as in the back of his mind he dreaded that he would just wake up back in that library with more texts to go through.

    “Woof!”

    “Agni?”

    Finally, after opening up the door, going out of the workshop, and opening it up, he heard something familiar. Before him stood a large dire wolf with a mane composed of red rubies. He looked at it and the wolf looked back without approaching for some reason. Usually, a tackle would come from the wolf side but instead, Agni was left smelling the air around his master.

    “Agni!”

    “Worf!?”

    Roland was the first to initiate the tackle this time around. This was something that the ruby wolf was not prepared for as he recoiled in fright. The power of his grip had increased by several times so it was quite the tight squeeze. Agni started squirming around while howling and whimpering slightly. This caused Roland to quickly ease up without pulling back.

    “Hah, it’s nice to see you… but I guess for you I was probably gone for a few minutes…”

    The time dilation in the trial was very real. Before going in he left a little runic stopwatch running out of curiosity. While he didn’t deactivate it instantly, it seemed that the trial took less than a minute perhaps even just a few seconds considering he was shaking in pain for a bit.

    “AWoooo!”

    “Hey, weren’t you always the clingy one?”

    To his surprise, the ruby wolf that usually liked to jump on him and lick his face was trying to pull away. It took him a moment to realize that the reason was the smell he was giving off. The clothes he was wearing were soaked in that puss-like substance that came out of his pores. It was no wonder that his wolf companion that had a more sensitive nose would be affected by it.

    “Hah… fine…”

    “Woof!”

    It took him a lot longer than he expected to let go but Agni was finally freed. The wolf started snorting and sneezing in a silly fashion while jumping away from his master. After an audible howl, he even stormed outside as if the whole house was now some kind of breathing hazard.

    “There he goes… I should really take a bath…”

    Roland’s clingy behavior was attributed to not being in contact with an actual living creature in a while. His head was already filled with his other companion that he wanted to give him a big hug. Regretfully she was out while he was taking the trial and it would probably not be proper for him to run through the night to go meet up.

    For a moment he actually thought about doing it but just being able to look at his home was enough for now. He was finally home and the big ordeal was over, waiting for a few more hours to meet his friends wouldn’t matter as much, and before that could happen he needed to do something about this smell. Then there was also the option of giving her a call through the crystal ball which he was planning to do after he informed himself about his new class and some more skills.

    “Hm… I think I lost some body fat, my abs didn’t stick out this much before…”

    After taking the bath and filling the tub with the toxic bile he was back to smelling nice. Now he was examining himself in the mirror while looking at his status screen from the corner of his eye. His body looked leaner and his muscles had increased in size slightly. Then he also noticed a slight change in his facial structure. It made him look somewhat more handsome and along with his skin clearing up, he could comfortably say that he had been upgraded in almost every aspect.
