[Congratulations! You have met the hidden requirements for a rank up.]
As soon as Raydon finished his tenth match and went back to his room, he was greeted by a dinging sound coming from the system and messages flashing before his eyes.
\'\'Hidden? What the fuck is hidden? I think this is common knowledge among all item holders. \'\' The messages continued to go back and forth while he was amused by the one that came from the system.

\'\'H-Hah? \'\'
When Raydon read the system messages he had received, he opened his mouth to scream in delight at having advanced to the next rank, but that was the only sound that came out of his mouth because the rewards he got were nothing at all like what he had anticipated at all.
Actually, he knew what reward he would receive; however, the manner in which the system bestowed it was unexpected.
\'\'I gained stat points? White grade? Activated? \'\' He was so surprised by what he read that he repeated it.
"And what exactly is this level enhancement? Wait… \'\' Raydon had a flash of insight when he realized what that meant.
When he opened the character panel, he noticed that all of his stats, which had previously been set at 1, were now set at 11. \'\'So what the system gave me were also some kinds of items?\'\'
It would appear that the system did not grant him any stat points in a direct manner. It was a reward in the form of items, and all that the system did was give them to him and then make it so that he had no choice but to use them automatically without any other options.
\'\'Are you saying that there are other items that we can use to increase our stats? And this level enchantment… \'\' Raydon took a seat in his chair and immediately started processing the new information that he had just obtained.
He was already shocked by the fact that the body enchantment he received from Fang increased the amount of experience he gained by a factor of two; however, he was taken aback even more by the fact that there are items from which he can gain additional stat points.
Raydon was under the impression that the only way to improve one\'s stats was to advance in level and rank. This was the common knowledge he had learned about item holders from the books he had acquired from Herman, as well as the information stored in his memory. Also, Belicia, whom he had previously consulted about ranking up, didn\'t mention this detail.
\'There is definitely something odd about this situation. \' Raydon placed his hand on his chin and pondered. It seemed unlikely that item holders in this world were unaware of the existence of such items.
There was no question that body enchantments were the most fundamental and important items for any item holder to have. This was primarily due to the fact that body enchantments had an immediate effect on the stat points of the item holder, which in turn had an immediate impact on the item holder\'s power. The greater the body enchantment\'s power, the greater its effect on stat points.
And stat points had a direct impact on the item skills. The greater the number of stat points, the more powerful the item skills will become.
Because of this, stat points are the foundation of an item holder\'s power. As a result, he believed that every item holder would strive to acquire resources that would allow them to increase their stat points, as this was the primary way to gain more power.
However, it was unexpected that there was a rumor and false common belief that the only way to earn stat points was through the system.
\'Perhaps in this world, it is still not possible to acquire these items through other means. Or maybe it\'s just families or other powerful and influential item holders hiding and distorting this information. \' That was the only possible explanation that Raydon could think of at the time.
It is likely that only extremely powerful families or even high-ranking item holders would have been aware of the locations of such items\' points of origin.
\'When I really think about it, this doesn\'t seem all that strange. \' He thought.
It was perfectly normal for families to withhold or distort certain vital pieces of information, just as they were expected to keep the techniques that were necessary for a person to awaken as an item holder. In every possible world, information is power, and no one would ever want to give up this advantage to others.
\'\'Fortunately, I have a title that grants me additional stat points, so I\'m not currently in desperate need of supplemental items. I can naturally learn more about this in the future as my strength increases. \'\' With a sigh, he said.
\'\'Hm? Who is this? \'\' Raydon\'s train of thought was broken when there was a knock on his door, and he murmured with a frown on his face.
When he got up and opened the door to see who it was, he discovered that it was one of the young people who always stood guard at his door.
The young man saluted Raydon with a bow and then directed his attention to the sleek black vehicle that was parked below as he continued speaking. " Master, there\'s someone asking for you."
Dan and the rest of his gang would never have disturbed him no matter who came looking for him; however, they now had the guts to go up to his house and knock on his door because Raydon had told them a few days earlier that he was expecting someone and that they were obligated to let him know if anyone inquired about him.
\'He is a little bit earlier. \' Raydon muttered, looking down at Galen, who was standing in front of the vehicle, waving at him with a big smile on his face.
