[Minutes Befal joined Keanu and Seren]
…..
Regal's sleepy body stirred awake as his still hazy vision took in his surroundings.
Raising his back, his head surveyed the room, instinctively seeking the familiar presehat should have been there before he closed his eyes.
Instead, all that remained iece hed up fabric, a remnant of the person who had occupied that space.
He didn't dwell on it.
With a quiet sigh, he sat up, stretched his limbs, a about freshening up.
….
A few minutes passed by, as he now sat at the edge of the bed, his damp hair g slightly to his skin.
Running a hand through it, he exhaled softly. "Alright… let's check that message."
He was not just referring to the stacked-up system notifications n, which he had not opened for over three months.
But there is ara one.
It up notification that appeared very retly - just yesterday - right when the clock hit the first show of the [Following] began iers for the audieo watd judge.
He remembered it vividly, the abrupt appearance of the system panel, without his scious iions.
It was something that had only happened once before - and that was when the system activated for the first time.
And now, it happened yesterday.
Without ahought, he called up the system.
A panel materialized before his eyes.

[Items]
[Skill Slots]
[Bulletin Board]
? [EP Avaible : 10K]
? [Bulletin Board] ([┘]- 00:02:48 )

?-----------------?
His gaze shifted to the notification bar, the small number '4' standing out.
He tapped it open.

?---------------------------?
Respectively, his four creations since arriving in this world appeared.
The first two, his web novels, [Omnist Reader's Viewpoint] and [Solo Leveling].
The third is the book - [Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone].
And finally, his venture, his debut movie, [Following], barely a day into its release.
His eyes lingered on the first two entries.
When it came to web novels, [Solo Leveling] had already reached its clusion.
Exactly forty-eight(48) days had passed sihe final chapter ublished, just as the system indicated.
He still remembered the moment the story ended, his faed into a frenzy.
Discussions flooded within the se of the audience er, being the main topic of the forums and even reag social media, as readers dissected every st detail.
Excitement, nostalgia, and a tinge of sorrow iwined in their reas.
Regal had added fuel to the fire by casually showg his [Drawing] skills, releasing the character sketches of almost all of the main characters into the publiain.
That only made the fandom even more intense.
Specutions about a ic adaptation had been cirg ever since, whispers growing louder with each passing day.
But for nal had chosen to keep things unofficial.
He had to be particurly cautious of a certain pany - [WB Fi].
Or rather, aor from that pany - Gregor.
The man had been persistent. Too persistent.
Deal after deal, proposal after proposal, Gregor was relentless in trying to secure rights for [Solo Leveling].
It had bee a little annoying.
Still, Regal made sure to dee politely.
As for [Omnist Reader's Viewpoint], it was still at its midpoint.
If everything stayed on track, it would likely by the time he began shooting his seovie.
Regal's gaze shifted back to [Solo Leveling] - something about its notification stood out from the rest.
You see ara line.
?---?
–> [pleted(?) - 48 days Ago]
?---?
"So, the system also records the date of the series cussion?" He murmured as if that made sense.
However, he moved and collected the usual rewards, deg to save the best for st.
He had been postponing the reward colle process for a while now - stockpiling as much as possible before cashing in.
It had somehow bee a habit, part strategy and part guilty pleasure.
There was a certain thrill in h rewards and redeeming them all at once.
An irrational reason, sure, but the logical one was simple: there was no pressing need for them right now.
Of course, he didn't stop cheg the [Bulletin Board] daily - though, to be ho, nothing particurly eye-catg ever popped up.
It left him stu a cycle of keeping his one avaible [Pin] occupied with anythiely iing, only to repce it ter when something slightly better showed up.
So overall he didn't miss anything big.
"But now I think I have waited long enough."
Regal tapped on the [Omnist Reader's Viewpoint] reward first.
The panel shifted.
?---?
「Ding! User successfully collected [Omnist Reader's Viewpoint] rewards!」
[Total View t:] 10,436,000 + ↑15,251,317 = 25,687,317
[Total EP Earned:] 1,525,131
「Your total EP is now: 10K + ↑1.5M = 1,535,131)」
?---?
, he clicked on the [Harry Potter] reward.
?---?
「Ding! User successfully collected [Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone] rewards!」
[Total Readers t:] 362,563 + ↑521,081 = 883,644
[Total EP Earned:] 781,621
「Your total EP is now: 1,525,141 + ↑781,621 = 2,306,762」
?---?
And then to the -
?---?
「Ding! User successfully collected [Solo Leveling] rewards!」
[Total View t:] 7,804,119 + ↑13,251,317 = 21,055,436
[Total EP Earned:] 1,325,131
「Your total EP is now: 2,306,762 + ↑1,325,131 = 3,631,893」
?---?
Hmm, a total of around 3.6M EP, huh?
Not bad. The reward was impressive.
In fact, if something else hadn't caught Regal's eye, he might have been celebrating jumping in jht at this moment.
But his focus had already shifted.
To this.
Finally, his eyes moved onto the most intriguing part of the panel -
?--------?
? [Following:] Movie
–> [Achievement Avaible] (Collect)?--------?
- and tapped on it.
?--------?
「Ding! User collected the [Achievement Reward] received for realising his first movie iers!」
「Ding! User received [Title Token] as the [Achievement Reward]!」
? [Note:] Check the reward in [Items]!
?--------?
[Title Token]?
Was that aype of [Search Token]?
Curious, he opened his item box to check its description.
?-------[ITEMS]-------?
? [Title Token] x 1
[Description : A oime-use item. The user redeem this token to unlock the full set of a series, including all avaible parts uhe same title.
? The User should have one part of the series with him to us this item.
? User directly use it by clig on it.
?---------------------?
Regal's fingers hovered over the s. His eyes sed the description again, processing its implications.
"With this... things might finally get a little less plicated."
There is a problem he had been putting off for a while.
[Search Token].
Regal had always expected, or at least hoped, to get one from the system at some point. Ae that not happening, he khat alone wouldn't have solved his problem.
A sioken would only let him purchase one book at a time.
If he wahe entire [Harry Potter] series - especially the fn market they were about to tap into - he would need seven separate tokens just for that.
Too ineffit.
Too risky to wait for it.
But the [Title Token] ged everything.
With this, he could acquire aire series in one go, so long as he had enough EP to cover the cost.
"But, aire series? Isn't that too vague?"
….
Regal stopped after colleg the achievement.
He didn't collect movie rewards yet, as it has only been a day sis release, and he decided to collect it ter.
Just like that, he made his way out of the bedroom, stepping into the main hall.
From there, he headed toward the only eg door that led to his office - tally, the same entrao the entire house.
With a twist of the doorknob, he pushed it open.
The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee greeted him instantly, warm and inviting.
His gaze shifted toward the room's octs. Seated at the table, one on each side of Gwewo familiar faces.
Before he could say a word, Keanu's voice rang out.
"Regal!" - the sudden call made his ears sting slightly.
He blinked, rubbing one of his ears a little, and exhaled. "…You two are here?"
Keanu grinned. "Of course we are!"
.
