Book 4: Chapter 38: Exposed Part I
Scarlet
First comes the Messages from before my fight with the Noble. Which dont really amount to much more than a bunch of demon defeated messages with no actual EXP given to me. Meanwhile the tenth of a level messages and the level-up I had from them already forced themselves to play without my permission earlier.
Then the messages for the battle with the Noble arrive.
{Level 1201 Red Death defeated. An enormous EXP bonus is awarded for killing a creature over four hundred levels above your level. A massive penalty has been taken from your earned EXP for barely assisting in killing the creature.}
{Seventy-five Skill Points are awarded for killing a creature two hundred and fifty levels or more above you with or without help.}
{Fifty Skill Points are awarded for spreading plagues to millions of different beings all at once.}
{Two Skill Points are awarded for killing a Class V.}
{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 743. Five Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}
{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 798. Five Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

And the moment those messages stop playing, the notifications Im expecting come.
System Notice
User has completed all of the necessary achievements in order to obtain a Title-Bearing Mythic Skill.
The achievements they have completed include the following:
Reach Class III while under twenty years old.
Defeat a being one hundred and fifty levels above you without any assistance.
Have the Predator V Skill.
Defeat a being two hundred and fifty levels above you with or without assistance.
As this is a Title-Bearing Mythic Skill, you will be given the skill at no charge.
My eyes widen as I feel a rush of power flood through my body, and at the same time, red and black light shines from every pore of my skin, illuminating the surroundings so brightly that I have to close my eyes. Then I hear a voice echoing in my head along with another notification.
System anomaly recognized upon Title Assignment.
Resources diverted towards determining source
Source confirmed.
Anomalys true name was interfered with by a system user known as the White Knight of Humanity.
True name has now been returned to normal.
Anomaly has been repaired.
System resources returning to appropriate responsibilities.
Yeah, this isnt good.
Rejoice, user Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron, for you have earned the Mythic Skill known as Apex Predator. And along with it, you have been assigned the Title of The Apex Predator!
Apex Predator:
It grants the user a 100% boost in stats when fighting a creature at a higher level than themselves by at least one hundred levels. It grants the user a 50% boost in stats when fighting a creature at a higher level than themselves by at least ten levels. It grants the user a permanent 30% boost in stats no matter who they are fighting.
These bonuses do not stack together with each other.
All hail the Apex Predator.
My jaw drops open in silent shock.
Warning! This is a universal notification!
Scarlet Art Asger de Archeron has attained a new title-bearing mythic skill!
Scarlet has now attained the title The Apex Predator.
May their achievement ring out throughout the known universe!
I grimace at the mention of my full name.
Well, the cats out of the bag now.
Yeah, Tar mutters, sounding grim.
Meanwhile I just hear Red laughing his heart out as I open my eyes again to find him still standing in front of me.
Okay, despite the fact that he technically helped me right now, hes a complete asshole.
I scowl at him, only for the man to laugh even more at that before he calms down again and gives a light bow, Welcome to politics, Your Highness.
My eyebrow twitches in irritation.
Then he vanishes in a flurry of black flames.
That guy is hard to get a read on.
I turn my attention back to the battlefield dozens of kilometers away from here when I realize that its actually gone silent. Probably due to me.
The mere fact that I managed to silence a battlefield of hundreds of millions of people, both humans and demons, is a rather large feat in and of itself.
I glance at my terminal, feeling apprehensive about checking any online chats or news stations before shaking my head and deciding to go ahead and check my status instead. Because its a nicer place to look right now.

Well at the very least my status looks cooler now. What with the red skill there and the Title.
Although
I glance at Tar who still seems to be a little dazed before smiling brightly perhaps a little too brightly and asking, So when are you going to eat your tail?
His head jerks around to stare at me with horror on his face, only for the tanuki to vanish without a hint of hesitation.
Coward, I mutter while lying down on the ash-covered ground.
Then I just stare up at the sky in a daze of my own for who knows how long, ignoring the buzzing messages I feel coming from my terminal.
This is going to be a long day.
At least the skill is incredibly
