Having that done, and while everyone enjoyed their feast happily, I quickly gave a glance to the new acquired items. The [Legendary Armor Piece Treasure Chest (S Grade)] x1, [Greater Spirit Elixir (S Grade)] x3, [Legendary Potential Cube (S Grade)] x5, and [Unique Gear Enhancement Scroll (A Grade)] x10.

-----

[Legendary Armor Piece Treasure Chest (S Grade)] x1

A Special Legendary Treasure Chest gifted by the Gods themselves to a Player once a great achievement has been accomplished, such as defeating a powerful Boss Monster with a Level over 250. Has less than 1% chance to drop from high level bosses, occasionally given as a reward for defeating World Boss-level threats.

Opening it will grant a random armor piece of Legendary Rank of a random Grade, compatible with the user's Classes. The equipment comes enchanted with Special Effects can Self-Evolution.

-----

[Greater Spirit Elixir (S Grade)] x3

A precious Healing Item said to have been created through the extraction of Divine Spiritual Essence from a Greater Spirit. Once used, it can revive a defeated player, heal their HP, MP and Satiation to 100%, heal any status ailment and debuff, and grants a buff for 24 hours that increases HP, MP, and Satiation Automatic Recovery by +500% and increases all stats by +150%.

Additionally, has the random chance to increase any stats by up to +100 permanently.

-----

[Legendary Potential Cube (S Grade)] x5

A Powerful and Ancient Relic, a Potential Cube of Legendary Rank is capable of bringing the greatest potential out of the equipment it is used into, ranking their potential to Legendary Grade, the highest there is, which grants the most bonuses. Also automatically unlocks all Potential Lines and has very high chances to give special, high grade potential bonuses, although they're still random. An incredibly valuable enhancement item that only drops from Bosses of Level 250 and up.

-----

[Unique Gear Enhancement Scroll (A Grade)] x10.

An Ancient Scroll engraved with mystical runes. A Gear Enhancement Scroll is capable of enhancing a Gear's stats and base effects with each usage, based in the Enhancement Slots, it has a limit. However, this Unique Gear Enhancement Scroll has a 100% chance of success unlike lower ranked scrolls and has higher chances of rolling for the best enhancements, although they're still random.

Woah, they're all amazing items! I can surely enhance my equipment with these guys, though it feels a bit bad if I use them on low-grade equipment, which is what I am mostly wearing aside from my weapon and a ring right now. Are these the prize for defeating a World Boss? Or is this just tied with my normal quest which escalated to this event?

As if to answer to that question, another system window popped up.

Ding!

[Congratulations [Player: Planta] for having ranked [First Place] in the World Boss Damage Rankings!]

[You've been recognized by the [The Gods] as an outstanding Player, keep working hard!]

[The Rewards for the World Boss Ranking have been decided!]

[You received the Title: [Number 1 World Boss Ranker]!]

[You received the Title: [God-like Player]!]

[Your outstanding achievements have rewarded you with +100 to all Stats permanently!]

[You received the following rewards: [1000000000 Gold], [+10000 Fame], [Legendary World Boss Themed Equipment Treasure Chest (S Grade)] x3, [Legendary Hidden Dungeon Key (S Grade)] x3, [Hourglass Of Calamity (L Grade)] x1, [Gaia's Divine Nectar (L Grade)] x1]

Uwaah! This is a lot of rewards-

Ding!

[The Gods have decided that the Rewards are not enough, their gratefulness knows no bounds.]

Huh? What's going on?

Do they want to give me more freebies? I guess its all fine by me but are you sure? Just leave it be guys…

[The System has offered a new Reward.]

A new reward? What is the system even offering? Wait, the System is a separate entity than the Gods?

Wasn't it created by them?

No?

[The Gods are discussing it…]

Wait, are you actually considering it?!

[The System says that the reward must also come with a responsibility based in the rate of growth and development of [Player Planta]

[The Player Planta's Patron, [Gaia], seems concerned.]

[The System insists it is for the "balance of the world" due to a great power gap left without the Demon King's existence.]

[The Gods say that the next Demon King might awaken soon, and without an equally powerful force to stop his rapid advancement, there won't be any hope…]

EH? Wait, what are you on about?

[The Goddess [Gaia] says that she's sorry.]

[The [Gods] and the [System] have reached an agreement.]

Huh? What… kind of agreement?

[You've been granted the additional [Special Title]: [World Boss Authority]!]

[You're now a [World Boss]!]

"EEEH?!"

Ding!

[You're the first Player to have even been granted the authority of a World Boss, congratulations!]

[You already possess most of the basic powers of a World Boss, such as [Territory Takeover] and [Territory Management], however, you will be granted new World Boss Abilities as you complete Quests.]

[If you want to become a respectable World Boss, you better begin Leveling Up, your Stats are still very low!]

[The Gods have great expectations on you.]

Did the Gods just thought that fighting fire against fire was a good idea so they made me a World Boss to fight other World Bosses?! Agh! This is not a good idea at all! Ya'll are insane! I am just a normal person at the end of the day! Ugh…

Well, not anymore. I guess…

Seeing this world being real and all, everything here is true… then me becoming a giant tree, and the powers I possess now, they're not normal at all, even if back on Earth my normal human body remains, I am definitely not normal anymore.

"Please System at least leave this a secret!"

[The System has decided that your authority as a World Boss must be known globally.

"Do you want me to be hunted by every player or something?!"

[The System reassures Player Planta that the Players are not the real threat at all…]

"Eh?!"

[The [Hourglass of Calamity (L Grade)] resonates… The [Great Demon King of Death] will soon be reborn.]

[The Waves of Nether are beginning to emerge into the surface, the Gates of the Underworld are slowly opening…]

[Time left: 30 Days]

Another one…?!
