Chapter 291 Worthy
?[User has leveled up!]
[Current Level: Lvl 15]
[Reward: +100 Attribute Points, Random Ability Level Up, +2 Gold Coins, System Upgrade]
[Choosing Random Ability]
[Earth has been upgraded to Level 4]
The rewards weren't as great as some of the other rewards Mako had received after a major level up, but he wasn't complaining in the slightest as he had received an abundance of attribute points, his Earth ability was now level 4 although he would have much rather preferred one of his level 5 abilities turning into a level 6, but he was still happy, and on top of that he also received 2 Gold coins!
Mako wanted to open his profile to see if he could now finally progress forward and further upgrade his attributes but before he could do so more messages started flashing in front of his eyes and these couldn't be ignored.
[Welcome User!]
[The Universal Power System has now reached Level 3]
[Hidden Quest Complete]
[Upgrade the Universal Power System to level 3 in under 365 days]
[Penalty: System Termination]
[Reward: New Skill] Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
[New Skill Learned: (D-Tier) Influence!] ?
Mako stopped the stream of messages right there, not even acknowledging the brand new skill he had just received as his eyes were glued on the penalty of the hidden quest.
"System termination!? What do you mean by that!?" Mako exclaimed.
[If the user had failed to upgrade the system to Level 3 which is the benchmark for the system meaning it is now 20% unlocked, the system would have considered the user unworthy and would have terminated its connection with the user, and begin searching for a more worthy host.]
"What!!?" Mako shouted, "What would have happened to me if the system deemed me unworthy?"
[The user would have died from the termination of the system from their body]
Mako was left utterly speechless as he couldn't even fathom the reality that this entire time he had been fighting against a timer; a timer that could spell his death if he was deemed unworthy by the system.
The good news was that he had beaten this invisible timer and had successfully proved to the system that he was indeed worthy to be its host.
Mako was a bit bummed out that he couldn't really test out his new skill right away as he still hadn't had charisma unlocked instead, he prompted the system to continue on with the notification; however, Mako had to pause them just a second later with a huge smile on his face.
"Well... Well... Speak of the devil! It's about time, you showed up!" Mako said while staring at the next message that appeared in front of his eyes.
[Charisma attribute has been unlocked]
Mako had been waiting for so long for this message to pop up in front of his eyes and finish the last piece of his character chat so he could finally be balanced in every single attribute.
Mako quickly opened up his profile which looked quite different from before and scrolled down to see that indeed there was a numeric value now assigned to his Charisma stat.

[Attribute Points: 220] ?
Other than the fact that his charisma was unlocked, there were a bunch of plus-one symbols next to all of his attributes alongside his health, coins, and energy as well. This showed that the cap over his attributes was finally lifted and now he could spend all of his attribute points to get crazy strong by boosting up his Strength, Speed, etc.
The EXP bar had also been reset and surprisingly instead of being set at 16 million as Mako had predicted following the general trend of how the EXP bar doubled every time with each level up, the bar was instead set to just a measly 100,000 EXP.
Mako was sure that all of this and much more was explained in the incoming notifications that he was currently suppressing, so before he jumped to any kind of conclusions of his own, he decided to just shut up and let all the messages read themselves out before he began to explore his new system all that it had to offer.
