Reincarnated in a Novel World

"Yes, mentor," Su Yanran replied, standing up with unwavering determination in her eyes, ready to practice her ice mage spells.

"What a strong will she has. Just by her determination, she has already surpassed the criteria to become a great player," the mentor analyzed.

3:00 p.m. at the villa

I reached my villa, had lunch, and now I'm in my room.

I sighed happily at my hard work, thinking, "I've done everything." Soon, a maid's voice reached my ear, "Young master, the butler is calling you."

"Alright, you may leave," I said, wondering why the butler wants to see me.

"Oh, I forgot!" I suddenly remembered that I didn't see Zhou Wen and the skeleton in the morning.

I left my room and went to the butler's room, mentally preparing myself.

I knocked on the door and heard the butler say, "Come in."

Entering the room, I saw both Zhou Wen and the skeleton silently sitting on the couch.

I joined them and raised an eyebrow in question, to which Zhou Wen replied by showing his hand, indicating they got caught.

The butler, having finished checking the documents, placed them aside and calmly asked, "Young master, did I not say anything to you?"

Seeing his calm expression, I knew there was a storm brewing under the surface, and I needed to reveal some secrets and spout some nonsense to calm the situation.

"Uncle, first see this," I said anxiously and handed him a sword.

"Young master, I…" He hesitated as he saw the sword, then took it to inspect its details and asked, "Young master, where did you get this sword?"

"Uncle, it's related to my talent, which is intuition. It helped me acquire this sword," I said, spouting some nonsense as nobody knew the name of my talent.

"Young master, it's a unique sword, and I respect you for that. But what will happen to me if anything happens to you? You know, I promised your parents to take care of you," the butler expressed his concerns and memories.

"Uncle, I'm sorry," I apologized, not sure what else to say when he started talking like that.

The butler quickly composed himself and said sternly, "Alright, young master, I want to hear from you that this is the last time, and even, if necessary, you should inform me."

"Thank you, uncle, I will inform you," I said happily.

"Alright, do as you wish," the butler sighed and added after some time, "If you need any help, tell me."

"Okay, uncle," I said and returned to my room.

As I exited the butler's room, he sighed and said helplessly, "Like father, like son." However, a relieved and happy expression appeared on his face as he recalled some events.

Sam's room

"Thank goodness, everything has been resolved," I thought, a wide grin appearing on my face as I remembered the rewards from the Barren World mission, which exceeded my expectations.

"Let's assess each gain," I thought as I summoned my inventory.

Inventory: [Dungeon: (50,800 F-grade, 36,752 E-grade, and 10,000 D-grade stat crystals, 25,400 F-grade, 9,188 E-grade, and 1,250 D-grade monster carcasses, 258,880 gold coins), E-grade dungeon core, Small World [F] [Unique], Abyssal Sword [F] [Unique]]

"I gained all of these from the tower," I thought, feeling satisfied with my gains.

**Flashback...**

Upon completing the Barren World mission, I was automatically transported to the tower's first floor, and a string of prompts started to appear.

[Tower System]

[You have cleared all-star difficulties from 1 to 5 of the tower's first floor.]

[You have exceeded the limit of all the star difficulties]

[You have gained 7,100 T.P for clearing all the star difficulties]

[Bonus reward for exceeding limit: Abyssal Sword [F] [Unique]]

[You have completed the hidden mission: 8th star]

[You have exceeded the limit of the hidden mission]

[You have killed 16,400 F-grade, 8,600 E-grade, and 1,250 D-grade monsters in the Barren World]

[You have gained 20,000 T.P for completing the hidden mission]

[Bonus reward for exceeding limit: Small World [F] [Unique]]

[You have gained 373,500 by killing all the monsters in the Barren World]

[All of these rewards are temporarily placed in the Tower's inventory]

After seeing all of these, I was dumbstruck; I didn't even know what to say. I had expected to gain all of these as I had exceeded the Novel's Protagonist quota.

I had come here to loot the Protagonist's Abyssal Sword, but instead, I received an overwhelming amount of Tower Points and a Small World.

I quickly transferred all the rewards to my Neo's Inventory.

"Neo, show me the description of the sword and the small world," I said excitedly.
