After another minute of slowly torturing the underground monster with countless more tons of sand, Cassius finally received the system notifications, guiding him to a gradual decrease in speed. He refocused his vision back to a normal level of speed perception, then read through the notifications. That was also when he learned the name and rank of the thing he had just suffocated to death.
*Ding!*
[You have slain a C- Sand Devourer!]
[Your Experience Bar has tremendously moved!]
[You leveled up!]
[You received 4 AP!]
[All of your Main Attributes have increased by 3 Points!]
OOOM!
Cassius felt a wave of power wash over him as he experienced a level-up, something that hadn't happened to him for a few Gates worth of grinding.
A smirk formed on his usually apathetic expression.
