Disappointed

Silas materialized in his dorm room just a few heartbeats after receiving the final notification from the system.

Looking around at the familiar space filled with everyday items—a worn-out desk piled with books and the small shelf stacked with various collectibles—he felt a sense of comfort. With a deep breath, Silas took a seat on his neatly made bed, anticipation coursing through him as he waited for the system to notify him about the rewards he believed were rightfully his for completing the quest.

Minutes ticked away slowly, and as he sat there, his excitement began to transform into confusion. No notifications appeared on the screen, and silence filled the room, save for the faint hum of the overhead light.

"What's going on? Where are the rewards?" Silas questioned aloud, a frown forming on his face. He wasn't genuinely expecting a reply; after all, the system was just that—a programmed tool. However, to his surprise, the system responded promptly.
