*DING!* *DING!* *DING!* *DING!*
A lot of notifications started popping into Mako's head, but one of them had made itself more prominent than others and it was not what Mako had expected at all.
Of course, as Rage mode got deactivated, the same messages appeared that had appeared once before, and Mako thought that he would be knocked unconscious again due to the exhaustion status effect but this time nothing happened.
[All targeted enemies have been defeated]
[Deactivating Rage Mode]
[The remaining Rage mode bar will be compensated to the user by the system]
[The User is Exhausted]
A wave of drowsiness still hit him and he was definitely weakened but it wasn't enough for him to lie down or fall unconscious. Mako attributed this to the fact that his rage meter wasn't as filled up as before so the effects were weaker and the fact that he had a stronger body compared to before.
It was the notifications that followed this that caused the changes to begin.
[A Difficult Level 4 Opponent has been defeated]
[+10,000 EXP]
[User has leveled up!]
[Current Level: Lvl 10]
[Reward: System Upgrade]
[System Upgrade has been initiated]
Weird robotic and digital sounds started filling Mako's head as held his head with the sudden pain that shook him to his core. A constant ringing was heard as the system finished what it wanted to do.
[Reboot required for the system to finish upgrading]
[Rebooting in 3...]
[2...]
'Wait! What's happening?!' Mako asked in confusion about the messages to his system.
[1...]
[System is now Rebooting]
Before Mako could even get his bearings together, the system displayed that it was rebooting, and as soon as the countdown finished counting, everything in Mako's vision turned black as he could see, hear, or feel anything around him. Within seconds, the darkness overwhelmed him as he finally felt his body fall down as he lost consciousness.
**************
An unknown amount of time had passed since Mako knocked himself unconscious and finally, he was slowly coming to. He slowly opened his eyes and noticed that he was currently laying on a bed. He didn't recognize the room he was in, or how he even got there.
"Uh! My head!" Mako groaned as the throbbing pain from before had returned but this time it was a lot less intense.
The pain continued on for a couple of minutes and Mako couldn't really do anything except just withstand the pain while laying in the bed. A lot of questions were running through his mind, like what happened to the tournament, where was he now, and what happened to Bill, but all these questions would have to wait since Mako first had to deal with this headache first.
After a few more minutes, the pain seemed to have gradually reduced in intensity even more, and then suddenly it completely disappeared. Mako took the biggest sigh of relief now that he was free of this grueling pain.
*Ding!*
A notification sound popped up in Mako's head again, and Mako was quick to answer since he was curious as to what changes had occurred since he was knocked out. During the time, that Mako was awake, he didn't just sit idly by; instead, he was trying to recall all the previous events that happened before he was knocked unconscious. He remembered the system telling him that he was being upgraded and he was excited to see what new things these upgrades had unlocked for him.
[Reboot completed]
[Welcome User!]
[The Universal Power System has now reached Level 2]
It was as he had remembered, the system was restarting itself to upgrade after he had reached level 10. He wanted to see what his status sheet looked so he opened the main interface to access the system.

Mako was in genuine shock after he noticed all the changes that had occurred to his profile after the reboot. He also noticed that the notifications tab was also blinking a lot, which meant a lot of unread messages were waiting for him. In order for Mako to understand everything that was going on, he would have read all the messages.
[Notifications] ⓘ
[(19) Unread messages]
Mako directed his thoughts to open the notifications and as soon as he did that all the notifications started pouring in front of him one after another.
[A Difficult Level 4 Opponent has been defeated]
[+10,000 EXP]
[User has leveled up!]
[Current Level: Lvl 10]
[Reward: System Upgrade]

[Reward: +50,000 EXP, One Random Ability Level up, +30 Attribute points]

[Lightning has been upgraded to Level 4]
The messages kept on pouring but Mako stopped reading here for the time being, because the rewards that he had just received were greater than any other. Not only did he get an absolutely absurd amount of EXP and Attribute Points but he also got Lightning Ability upgraded. Mako decided to check out his improved ability before proceeding with the remaining messages.
[Lightning] ⓘ
[Lightning is an offensive/utility ability, your stats will be increased when using lightning-based moves]
[Agility +20]
[Strength +15]
[Stamina +10]
[To activate these boosts, you have to keep your ability active which will passively drain energy as well as release the aura of a level 4 Lightning Ability user]
[Current rate of energy consumption: 4 Energy per minute]
The boosts were significantly better than before and the rate of energy consumption had doubled as well. Mako couldn't wait to test out his improved ability, but he first had to get through the remaining messages.

[Tier 2 Daily Quests have been unlocked]
The remaining messages did not disappoint as Mako had gotten a serious boost in advancements. His health and energy had improved, he had 45 attribute points to play around with, and he also got a brand new skill that he wanted to check out as soon as he could. Looking at his Interface now, a lot more exclamation icons appeared.
'Open System Interface'
[Profile] ⓘ
[Titles] ⓘ
[Quests] ⓘ (NEW!)
[Skills] ⓘ (NEW!)
[Inventory] ⓘ
[Shop] ⓘ (NEW!)
Mako first decided to check out the new skill he learned first. He directed his thoughts toward the Skills tab and looked at the new skill.
(NEW!) [(E-Tier) Recover] ⓘ (Level 1)
[A basic healing move, that can activate if the user hasn't taken any damage for 30 minutes. Once activated, Recover will start eating away the user's energy in order to heal up any injuries on the user's body and recover back to full health.]
[Healing: 1HP per 5 Energy]
[Duration: Variable]
[Cost: Variable]
Mako wanted a healing move badly for so long, something that could help him recover faster in case he has to fight again in a short amount of time, and now the system had rewarded him with a brand new Unique Skill that did just that.
Next, he checked out the Quests Tab.
[Tier 2 Daily Quests have been unlocked. These Quests will be harder and longer to complete than before, but they will also give better rewards.]
[New Daily Quest]
Task 1: Exhaust your complete energy pool two times by only using skills
Task 2: Run 10,000 meters in under two hours
Task 3: lift a total of 2000 Kilograms
These quests were a lot more difficult than before but with Mako's body so much better than when he first started, he was confident he could do them relatively quickly. Now only one tab remained, and Mako was saving it for last since he knew the surprises would be big. It was time to see what the Shop feature had in store for him.
[Shop] ⓘ
[The Shop tab is another unique feature of the system. As the name implies, the user can access the System's shop and perform purchases such as buying and selling different items. The system will reward the user with different tiers of coins depending on the difficulty of the quest. These coins can then be exchanged for items that will be displayed in the shop.]
[Note that the shop will only display items that are the same level as the user themselves, with better items being in display the more the user levels up.]
[Bronze Tier coins are coins that the system will reward the user for easy quests and are the lowest form of currency that the system can reward.]
[Silver Tier coins are coins that the system will reward the user for moderate quests and a decent form of currency being that one Silver coin equals 100 Bronze coins.]
[Gold Tier coins are coins that the system will reward the user for hard quests and a good form of currency being that one Gold coin equals 100 Silver coins.]
[Diamond Tier coins are coins that the system will reward the user for extreme quests and the best form of currency is that one Diamond coin equals 100 Gold coins.]
It was a very straightforward explanation of what was the function of the shop feature, and Mako was excited to see what items were on display for right now, but before he could access the shop a new notification popped up that he couldn't ignore.
