Chapter 84 Surprise box?
Kan woke up to find a note by his side. Ellie had stated that she needed to go home and freshen up, change into something different.
This made sense considering she was always with Kan all day and although he may not have the nose of a werewolf, any more persistence and he would have picked up on her fish breath.
The others, Jessica and co had come over to his room to see him. They had given him an update as well that Kane was recovering just fine.
Kan was relieved even though he couldn’t exactly remember the state Kane was in since the last time he saw him, he had only one arm left.
He was left to guess as the group left, leaving him all to himself, the beeps from the machines, the distant noises of patients, in other words undergoing treatments, and his thoughts.
“Hey, let’s have a look at our progress. You know, I never really got to see what rewards I got for ‘counselling’ Bhella because Ellie was all over me,” Kan said in his head.
[Yeah, I think you’d like this one. You also have rewards for the battle you went through!!] Hela revealed excitedly.
“Huh? But that’s not related to any sex thing. How come?” Kan asked.
[You are the lust god’s herald. You survived a major near-death experience. Of course, you deserve this reward. Take it as motivation to get back up, get out there and continue your good work!!] Hela urged Kan on.
“Hmm,” Kan simply sighed, having nothing else to say. Sometimes the easiest way to move past a confusing topic is just to MOVE past it.

======================
“Holy shit!! This is all too much to take in!!” Kan sat erect on his bed, adorned in his white hospital gown.
[You need me to break it down?!] Hela offered assistance.
“I mean, not really but sure!!” Kan said, a smile on his face as he stared at the screen in front of him while listening to Hela explain.
[You already know what the free stat points do. So let’s move on to the juicy part. You have in the second reward section, you have the first reward being to level up your Berserker mode. Already, you can see how strong the skill is. So levelling it up would mean perhaps more power? What do you think?] Hela asked.
“Yes, the skill is pretty powerful. Probably the most scary one I have. But that’s the thing, it just has way too many liabilities. For one, I turn into this angry monster and go on a rampage. I don’t even remember what happened. All I know was that before the skill took over me, I could hear a loud, uninterpretable sound. And up until now, I don’t exactly remember what happened, if not that you told me!” Kan said, a frown on his face.
[So what’s your final decision? You should know though, that not everything comes without backlashes. Sometimes consider the upsides which in this case outweigh the downsides. I mean, If you are to be honest with yourself, without this skill, you’d be dead and so would Kane. You saved a life, baby!!] Hela tried to convince Kan.
“Yeah I did, I saved the life of someone I know. How many died in return?” Kan asked but didn’t wait for an answer to this because he knew already that Hela would find a way to justify what had happened.
“It doesn’t matter if they were going to kill me. For crying out loud, if I so much as was strong enough to have survived through it all, then I definitely had the power to incapacitate them without going overboard. But I guess this isn’t anyone’s fault but mine. I mean, the skill does warn that uncontrollable rage was its downside,” Kan settled.
“Let’s move on,” he said, seeing Hela was quiet.
[Okay, so the next reward is pretty straightforward as well. An instant level up to any skill of your choosing. What would it be?] Hela inquired.
“I’d most likely go with my most used skill and useful skill. For now, it has to be pheromone. Although it does have a bit of its downside as well like when unintentionally turned on, it can attract just about anything to me. But yeah, I think I can cope with that ordeal!” Kan mused.
[Wise choice!!] Hela said. Next thing that happened was a system message asking Kan if he wanted to go ahead with updating a skill.
“Yes,” Kan chose the answer with his mind and then like an animated ice breaking, Kan could see the skill, “pheromone” come out shining for a brief moment before going back to normal.
[Skill upgraded successfully!]
[Pheromone lvl 6!!]
?Info – Higher success rate of host’s chemicals having a stronger effect on targets and wider arrays as well!!
“Okay, I hope that excludes virgin plants!” Kan mused as he saw what the system said about a wider array targets.
[Let’s move on,” Hela suggested.
“Wait, hang on. There seems to be a problem here. If the counselor is an elf, that means she has magic, right? Why isn’t her magic part of my rewards?!”
[Because she doesn’t have any] Hela simply responded.
“That doesn’t add up right!” Kan argued. Knowing well that from experience, when he had sex with someone who had magic, he also got that person’s magic.
[One of the rare cases. She’s what they refer to as ground elves. They have the Mana within them but because they lack the affinity for any magic thereof, they simply remain that way. She retains her normal race attributes though. Only she can’t perform magic!] Hela explained.
“Huh, tch!! Unlucky me!! Would have loved a new sweet magic like aunt Layla’s,” Kan bit his tongue.
[Okay, let’s go on, shall we? You have a special package for your fourth and final reward. It’s a surprise box. And just as I know you are wondering, I’ll get to it. A surprise box is an item reward gifted for a quest completed. You can only open this box once and it usually contains a reward of higher caliber or in some cases, nothing at all] Hela said ever so casually.
“Huh?!! Why would a reward be given if it has nothing in it? That’s just dumb!”
[Well you can’t get everything you want, this is real life not some video game!!] Hela reacted back, taking quite the offence.
“Fine, so what now?” Kan asked.
[Well, let me see, open the box!!] Hela replied quite anxiously as it looked like it wanted to know what was in the surprise box as well.
