[All your Achievements will play a crucial role in determining your final Rating for this Trial]
[Note: To Ensure Fairness, your Rating will be evaluated based on the number of Trials you've successfully completed, the level of experience you had prior to this Trial, and various other factors...]
[Final Considerations: You have grown far stronger than estimated]
[Rating: SS-]
[As per your Rating, you will be given enormous rewards]
Before I could delve into more details, the space around me shifted, transporting me back to that familiar "5-star hotel room".
[You have returned to the [Rest Area]. You will have 12 hours to rest before the 2nd Trial will begin]
[In this Area, there are no limitations imposed on you]
I was about to sigh and check the prompts about my rewards after proper rest, but it seems this time, I couldn't do that.
[Your rewards will now be given]
.
.
.
[The levels and Skill Points you couldn't acquire due to hitting the Absolute Limit in the First Trial have been condensed into the Passive Skill [Limit Breaker]]
[Limit Breaker]
[Description: You have experienced breaking through limits more than once. As such, you will enjoy higher levels of power only Limit Breakers can achieve. This is the first form of [Authority] granted to you]
[Effect: [Limits] and [Absolute Limits] will bend for you to a certain degree. Your Skills and Talents will be able to breakthrough [Limitations] in certain situations]
[Side Effect: Your Rating will be influenced by this Passive. If you want a High Rating, you will have to work harder]
[Warning: Try to not abuse this Passive. You never know what may happen]
[Your Sword will now be able to show the effect of its Awakening. You are not bound by the Absolute Limits of the First Trial anymore]
[Your [Sky Sword Art] will greatly benefit from it in the future]
[As per your reward, you will be given what you need most]
.
.
.
[Your Talents and Skills lacking behind in level will level up]
[You have been granted the [Highest Level Mana Pathways]. From your second Trial, you will be able to learn and use [Mana]]
[Your [Perfect Human Body] Skill is not satisfied by this arrangement]
[Your Talent [Sword] agrees with your [Perfect Human Body] Skill]
[Your Talent [Body] agrees...]
.
.
.
[The [Highest Level Mana Pathways] have been converted into [Perfect Mana Pathways]]
[Perfect Mana Pathways]
[Description: You will be able to wield Mana no matter the World or Trial you are in. This is the second form of [Authority] granted to you]
[Effect: You will gain the [Mana] Talent. You will face no limitation in the quantity or quality of Mana you can accumulate or use]
[Note: To ensure Fairness, It will be allowed because of the high Rating]
[Your Skill [Cooking] has evolved into [Cooking Master]]
[Cooking Master]
[Description: While a great cook can turn most things into a delicacy, a Cooking Master surpasses that. Their guiding principle is: If a dish is poisonous or unappetizing, it's your fault, not the dish's]
[Effect: Anything you cook will be delicious and edible. In addition, a % of the food you cook will grant a small positive effect]
[Your Active Skill [Slash] has evolved into [Sky Slash] and has become part of your [Sky Sword Art]]
[Sky Slash]
[Description: Influenced by your [Sky Sword Art], this Skill wants to be useful]
[Effect: Unleashing the [Sky Sword Art] will conjure ethereal wings of light, tearing through your foes from within]
[Additional Effect: Adds [70%] ➔ [250%] to Slashing Damage dealt to enemies]
[Note: This effect is a by-product of the Authority of your [Perfect Mana Pathways]. As such, your own Mana will not be used]
[Your Skills [Run], [Jump], [Adaptive Evasion] have evolved into the Passive Skill [Body Control]]
[Your Spatial Awareness has massively increased]
.
.
.
[Body Control]
[Description: Mastering one's body is a crucial aspect for many Martial Artists. While you had already achieved a level of synchronization and partial mastery over your skills, this Skill craves more. It demands absolute control over your physical form, adapting to any situation as needed]
[Effects:
As long as you want to, you will be able to partially ignore air resistance
You will be able to control your center of gravity no matter what, as long as you want it
You will be able to perfectly run, jump, stand.... no matter what
You will never lose balance, as long as you want it
.
.
.
]
[Your Skills [Photographic Memory], [Sixth Sense], [Observe] have evolved into the Passive Skill [Absolute Awareness]]
[Absolute Awareness]
[Description: Nurturing one's intellect is a pivotal aspect for many Martial Artists. While you've achieved remarkable feats with your mind so far, this Skill seeks to reach a higher plane. It envisions you as a Sovereign of Wisdom, the smartest among mortals. It will do its best to make you such a being]
[Effects:
You can recall anything you see or feel, no matter what.
You can use Mana to project anything you have in your [Mind Library] in the Physical Realm. You have perfect control over who can see the information.
Your Sixth Sense will now be able to accurately tell you whether there is a Danger, Fortune, or Neutral situation. You can also use Mana to make this an active sub-skill.
You will be able to see everything to whatever degree of detail you want. Warning: If the level is too high for your current self, you will experience severe headaches

Author's Note:
The question regarding Combat Prowess will be properly addressed and explained next chap!
Anyway. Next Chapter, We will truly head to the 2nd Trial World. This is but a taste of Akira's Status, Skills, and what's coming
Since we're in the mood of Statuses, as promised, here the Statuses of the Forger Family!

As you may have guessed, Lv.MAX is actually just an acronym for Lv.21 for the Forger Family's status, which is the maximum level all Skills have in the First Trial.
For Akira, Lv.MAX means he can't level a skill up anymore.
Patrons will soon be able to read the second chap of the second Trial!
I appreciate anyone willing to support me, if you want to!
Also, I'd like to hear your general opinion about the novel. How is it? I am in need of objective reviews to make me understand what I am lacking, so if possible, and if you want to dedicate this novel some of your time, you can put a review on this novel!
Be brutally honest :).
