Achievements: The Pioneer

Inventory:

Rowan was speechless when he saw his status window. ' Well, the numbers are sure looking bad. I wonder what is the average stat points?'

Looking at the 5000 Karma Points, Rowan understood something. It was the Karma Point he received after getting the achievement of The Pioneer.

' Goddamn, but why is it locked? The only impressive thing in this status window and I can't use it.' Rowan sighed with annoyance.

Suddenly, clicking on the inventory, he realized he has a gift pack.

' Ah! Right! I can randomly get a new skill, right?'

With expression brightened, Rowan clicked on the gift package in the inventory.

[ Ding! Selecting a suitable skill according to user]

[...]

[...]

Rowan's smile remained for ten seconds till it turned stiff. He poked at the status window hurriedly.

' The fuck? Buffering is still a thing in another world?'

[ Error! Error! User's past achievements has exceeded automatic calculation value! Using main Akashic System!]

[ Ding! User's soul has unusual amount of Karmic Points! Calculating probability]

[ Error! Unable to calculate!]

[ Loading past achievements!]

[ Archmage who tamed the Penta Spirit]

[ The Sacred Paladin Who brought the Dawn]

[ Conquering the Martial Realm]

[ The Owner of Heavenly Jade Palace]

Rowan was stunned when he saw the list of achievements. " Wh-What the fuck?"

" Wait a second, these are…these are my achievements from the Divine Battlefield game!"

How could Rowan forget the years of grinding? The happiness when he gets the rarest achievements from his personally chosen characters?

' But those were only the achievements in the game. I didn't do shit in real life though.' Rowan gave a self depreciating laugh.

' Hold on! The Akashic System, does it think it's my personal achievement?'

His train of thought was interrupted when the status window finally responded.

[ Ding! Akashic System has determined that all of your achievements are unknown to the system, hence its value can't be calculated]

[ Host gains unique ability < Achievement Exemption>]

[Achievement Exemption: It allows the Akashic System to decrease your difficulties of gaining further achievements and skills by 1000%]

The gift box icon vanished from the inventory, as the system window showed this text prompt.

Rowan was stunned when he read it.

" WAIT! WHERE DID YOU TAKE MY GIFT?!"

[ User's gift package has been used. Please check the package opening history]

" Fuck! FUCK!"

Rowan clutched his hair in rage when he saw that.

" What the fuck is my unique ability?" Rowan grumbled as he clicked on the Achievement Exemption.

Suddenly, the status window flickered as it turned into a blue colored window with a golden border. Rowan was startled when he saw the transformation.

' This window…it looks familiar.' Rowan rubbed his chin as he pondered for a moment. 

' Yes! It's Divine Battlefield's status window!'

' No way? Did the game system of Divine Battlefield transmigrated with me?'

The new window blinked as Rowan saw an unopened message. When he clicked on it, a golden brilliance flashed.

It was the same when you pulled an SSS rank treasure in the Divine Battlefield.

' Ahh, those good ol days…' Rowan couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw the golden brilliance.

[ Ding! User has arrived from another world and stolen the body of Rowan Von Aurelius perfectly]

[ Host gets a new achievement! The Otherworldly Thief!]

[ Host gains a new skill: Cloud Stealing Divine Hand (SSS- Rank)]

[ Cloud Stealing Divine Hand: Once a supreme ability of a god of thief, nothing can escape from the grasp of the divine hand]

[ 1st ability : Regardless of level disparity, the user can steal one item from anyone or anywhere within a radius of fifty meters. The stolen item is chosen randomly and depends upon luck]

[ Cooldown: Depends upon the theft of level disparity. Minimum cooldown is 24 hours. Maximum cooldown 7 days]

[ Special note: Some divine power can cancel the effect]

[ 2nd ability : Host can steal items from a place or person continuously. The duration between each steal is 10 minutes. The difference in level should not exceed 5]

[ Each usage will consume mental power]

Suddenly, Rowan felt a bit lightheaded, as if a flow of information was entering his very soul.

However, it wasn't the first time he felt like that, so he endured it much better.

When Rowan opened his eyes, he felt something new. He looked at the bowl of soup that he had drunk earlier.

Focusing on that bowl, Rowan uttered, " Steal."

*WHOOSH!*

Instantly, the spoon, which was inside the bowl, appeared in Rowan's hand!

" HAHAHAHA! HOLY COW, IT'S REAL!"

Rowan couldn't help but laugh loudly. He was still a bit skeptical after everything happened. But when he saw his theft skill worked perfectly, he couldn't help but laugh giddily.

' Well, certainly it's not as cool as casting a fireball, it's certainly a magical skill.' Rowan nodded with approval.

Being a criminal in a past life, he could already think of a few ways to use it.

" Young Master, may I enter?"

Rowan realized it's Spencer. He replied, " Yes, you can!"

Soon, the door opened as Spencer appeared with a bunch of servants. 

" I have brought everything from your house, Young Master Rowan." Spencer smiled. " Also, I have brought back your wallet and pendent from the jail."

" Thank you, Uncle Spencer." Rowan smiled. " You are really helpful."

" Haha, it's my duty, Young Master." Spencer nodded, but his expression appeared to be a bit doubtful.

" Young Master, may I ask you a question?"

" Yes, Uncle Spencer?" Rowan was surprised as he nodded. Spencer took out the wallet and pendant, handing them to Rowan.

The wallet was normal, a small leather pouch without anything special.

Meanwhile, the pendant was very different. It looked like a nail of an unknown beast, with strange vein markings all over it. The pendant was threaded with black thread, which looked more like some sort of hair.

The moment his eyes fell on the pendant, Rowan felt a chill in his spine. His body started to shiver uncontrollably, sweat beads rolling down from his forehead.

" Yo-Young Master! Are you alright!?" Spencer was alarmed as he instantly noticed Rowan's fear strucken self.

" I… I am fine, Spencer." Rowan clenched his teeth, doing his best to calm down.

" I am just not feeling good right now. Can you please give me a minute?"

The luggage of Rowan wasn't much. The servants have already finished their work.

Spencer wanted to stay, but seeing Rowan's resolute look, he sighed. " Young Master, if anything happens, please call me instantly."

When Spencer left, Rowan rushed and drank the whole jar of water.

After that, he sat back on the bed, finally regulating his breath. 

The pendant was the final clue to Rowan's hidden memories, finally making Josh understand what had happened till now.

" Hahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA!"

Rowan started to laugh loudly; His laughter was filled with pain and anger.

' To think Rowan's death wasn't an accident, but a well-planned murder!"

' And it was done none other by my dearest girlfriend, Bianca!'
