Chapter 244: Hidden Rewards and Unlocked Memories
As the last words of her system faded into the quiet forest, Liora stood still for a moment, soaking in the soft rustling of leaves and the golden light breaking through the trees. The presence of her system, gentle and familiar in the back of her mind, gave her a strange sense of peace—as if a missing piece had returned. But that peace didn’t last long.
Suddenly, a series of glowing panels blinked to life in front of her.

[System Notice: Host has not checked personal or base-level progress after recent combat sequence.]
[Recommendation: Host should review now.]
The calm expression on Liora’s face shifted to one of surprise. She tilted her head, a little stunned as he remembered she really hadn’t because of so many things.
The system’s voice replied gently, "Correct. During the ambush and lockdown process, your access was restricted. However, following your survival and counterattack during the mutated beast assault, you have advanced significantly. Host, please review your current status."
Liora blinked, and for a second, excitement bubbled in her chest. "You mean... I leveled up? How much?"
The screen changed again and displayed a clear message:
[Congratulations, Host! You have reached Level 19.]
Her heart skipped. "Level 19?"
She took a deep breath, trying to calm the wave of happiness rising inside her. She had been stuck at Level 17 for what felt like forever. No matter how hard she trained, how many beasts she killed, nothing seemed to push her forward.
