RWWOKS Chapter 16

Chapter 16: An Unexpected Reward

As Fang Bo gave his command, a misty light suddenly enveloped him.

[You have consumed 5 Merit Points, earning the rank of Private Third Class.]

[As a Reincarnator, you can now learn basic information about the next story world ten minutes in advance.]

The promotion process for one’s rank was far more elaborate than skill upgrades or attribute point allocations, which hinted that the Space was subtly emphasizing its importance.

Knowing the name of the next world ten minutes early allows a Reincarnator to make specific preparations, which has an even more unique significance for Fang Bo.

Still, the advance notice time felt too short—if it could be known a few days earlier, the impact would be completely different.

Given the current situation, it seemed that the value of Merit Points might be even higher than he initially thought. He’d need to pay close attention to any relevant information moving forward and aim to raise his rank as quickly as possible.

As for the remaining 11 Merit Points, they would be just enough to help him rank up to Private Second Class.

[You have consumed 10 Merit Points, earning the rank of Private Second Class.]

[As a Reincarnator, you can now learn basic information about the next story world one hour in advance.]

The benefit was greatly improved. If he upgraded to Private First Class, Fang Bo believed he could really make the most out of that extra time.

[Name: Fang Bo

Title: Giant Slayer]

After leaving the Titan World, Fang Bo switched back to his “Giant Slayer” title, which allowed him to deal extra damage to enemies over three meters tall.

It wasn’t a big deal—more of a nice-to-have. After all, his direct damage capabilities weren’t that strong yet.

Mental-based skills could serve as a trump card in critical situations, but what he truly needed was a regular combat method.

The long blades from the maneuver gear could work as a solution, and long-range firearms could provide firepower.

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Bo rubbed his hands together eagerly, looking forward to the upcoming trades. “Well, it’s been long enough; let’s see if anyone’s contacted me.”

Any requests posted on the notice board would automatically display the Reincarnator’s ID, and those interested could come forward to negotiate a deal.

Of course, many would try to get a bargain, hoping to buy something valuable at a low price.

Going through hundreds of messages, Fang Bo began to truly understand the reality of the Reincarnation Space.

“600 Plot Points for the item. Hand it over, and you can tell everyone you’re a friend of Scar Hunter.”

What rubbish. Fang Bo had no intention of entertaining him.

Next message.

“Hey man, how’d you manage to kill the Colossal Titan? What’s its real identity? I’ll pay 500 Plot Points for the info.”

This person seemed polite but clearly took him for a fool.

In the Reincarnation Space, information was priceless—it could lead to one powerful Reincarnator after another. Even if offered 5,000 Plot Points, he wouldn’t consider selling it.

Fang Bo spat in disdain and moved on to the next message.

“Our Heavenly God Squad is willing to give you an opportunity. Hand over the item, and you’ll be included in the current reserve trials.”

Too bad. No matter how powerful the Heavenly God Squad was, Fang Bo had no interest in joining any Reincarnator organization, much less bowing down to them.

“Go to hell!”

Ten minutes of sifting through messages, and his mood was getting darker and darker. He was on the brink of cursing out loud. Using the filtering feature provided by the system, he managed to block the useless messages and isolate those that included trades.

Among them were some tempting offers.

**Spirit Sword**: Summons a powerful spirit blade with the ability to change forms; skill comes from the world of *Yu Yu Hakusho*.

**Cursed Force Gathering**: Adds additional damage to physical attacks; skill originates from *Jujutsu Kaisen*.

**Basic Breathing Technique**: Temporarily boosts strength and agility attributes; skill from the world of *Demon Slayer*.

**Blue Fire Drop**: Releases ghostly flames to inflict damage; skill from the *Bleach* universe.

Although none of these skills were particularly high-level, they each packed a powerful punch.

If the Space didn’t have its restrictions, Fang Bo would’ve loved to learn a couple of these skills just to have more options.

According to the booklet, Reincarnators in a Level One-Difficulty world were only allowed three skill slots to prevent teams from creating “fake powerhouses” who only spammed high-level skills.

Talented newcomers who joined a team would become highly sought after. Without limits, they could quickly accumulate powerful skills.

Summoners especially could easily overwhelm the native inhabitants of story worlds, gaining unreasonably high benefits.

If left unchecked, the Reincarnation Space would just become a farm for the Reincarnators to exploit, which is why such strict limitations were put in place.

Allowing unrestricted skill acquisition would mean countering ground-based enemies by flying, countering fire with water skills, and countering high defense with true damage skills.

In that case, trial missions would lose their purpose, and the Space would never produce truly strong Reincarnators.

But with three skill slots, there was an effective limit, preventing absurdly overpowered newcomers in One-Difficulty worlds. At least they wouldn’t be able to freely pick skills based on their opponent’s weaknesses.

Even powerful skills need proper synergy, factoring in things like mental energy consumption, health points, and more.

Of course, the three-skill-slot rule wasn’t set in stone. There were rumored ways to increase it, but those secrets weren’t included in the booklet.

With that in mind, Fang Bo was particularly cautious about choosing skills. He couldn’t afford to impulsively learn one just because it seemed strong.

He was prepared to consider his options carefully, but then his eyes fell on a skill that seemed very unique.

The moment he saw it, Fang Bo’s heart started racing.

**Name:** Healing Spell – Heal  

**Level:** 1  

**Grade:** B  

**Effect:** Sacrifices your own health to restore an equal amount of health to a target.  

**Usage Requirement:** Minimum 5 Spirit consumption  

**Learning Requirement:** Spirit 15  

**Origin:** *Redo of Healer*

**Skill Evaluation:** The pain and suffering of the target are instantly transferred to the healer, causing unimaginable agony.

This skill, from the *Redo of Healer* world, was a bottom-drawer ace.

If he learned it, he would basically become a miniature version of the Healing Hero.

And if he could use the Heal spell, would Princess Flare be far behind?

Ahem, of course, Fang Bo wasn’t focusing on its healing properties—he was more interested in the potential derived skills.

Like the ability to copy another’s combat skills and experience: “Imitate.”
