Chapter 159 - Rewards
Ban then inspected the next reward he got, which is an Item. The item was already lying in his Dimensional Storage and he only needs to retrieve it to see it more clearly. He can also direct his consciousness inside the Dimensional Storage just like the Beast Tattoo, but he figured that it was still better to inspect it with his own eyes.
Ban imagined taking the Item with his hand and at the next moment, the Item was pulled out from the Dimensional Storage Earring that he was wearing before it materialized right above his hand.
The reward Item was a small red sword, or more precisely, it was a red dagger adorned with black and white coiling lines. Even for Ban who doesn't have a sense of aesthetics, he still thought that the dagger was very beautiful.
The surroundings were still a little dim, but the red dagger was somehow glowing in front of Ban's eyes
Ban was captivated by it's beauty and he directly asked the System to show it's name and status.
[Item: Poisonous Butterfly Dagger
Grade: Quasi D-Master Rank
A dagger made of crystallized dust gathered from a Poisonous Butterfly Beast.
Together with other strong materials, the dagger became a strong weapon able to contend even with peak weapons at Multi Realm.
-The dagger contains potent poisons that can create hallucinations to the victims.
-Poisons are released upon contact and there's a high chance that the enemy would directly die as long as the wound is deep enough.
-Injuries caused by the dagger are more painful.
- This dagger can evolve into a higher rank weapon. Collect poisonous materials and integrate it to the dagger for it to evolve.

Seeing the description of the Poisonous Butterfly Dagger, Ban could only think of one word to describe it.
"Powerful!"
The dagger was very powerful. Multiple times more powerful than the Twin Baton who was in the same rank, Quasi D-Master Rank.
Unfortunately, Ban doesn't know how to use a dagger properly. He only knew how to wield the baton as well as the sword as they were somehow of the same length.
Of course, Ban did not discard the dagger just yet, he might not be able to use it properly with dagger arts, but he could still use them normally just like how one uses a knife in the kitchen.
Ban held the dagger's handle and he could somehow feel the dangers that came with it. Fortunately, it was his and not a weapon of his enemy, or else that would surely be a worrying case.
The dagger also came along with a scabbard, it was entirely black, in contrast to the red color of the dagger that was also adorned with black and white lines.
After he was done familiarizing himself with the dagger, Ban proceeded to check the last reward he got for returning from the Monster Realm.
He stored the dagger inside the Dimensional Storage again and took something in return.
It was a circular object the size of a human head. It was Core, a Monster's Core to be precise.
When Ban checked it's description, he realized that it was actually from a Quasi D-Master Rank Monster. It came from a Monster called Giant Fire Fly, a fly that could spit fire as it's main offensive capability.
Seeing that, Ban immediately thought of the Monster Egg. The main requirement to hatch the Egg was to let it absorb the essence of a Beast or Monster Core that has a 'Giant' prefix to it.
It seems convenient that he no longer needs to search for this main material, and he only needs to search for the auxiliary ones.
He felt reluctant parting ways with the Quasi D-Master Rank Monster Core as soon as he got it. After all, it was his first Monster or Beast Core that had the strength of a Quasi D-Master Rank, a rank that was only one shy away from the Multi Realm.
Anyways, Ban could still keep it for a few more days as he didn't have all the auxiliary materials yet. But with the Monster Core, it should not take long for him to hatch the Monster Egg. He was already excited riding the Giant Red Dragonfly Beast.
Ban stored it inside the Dimensional Storage to keep it safe from harm.
Using his consciousness, he swept around the space of the Dimensional Storage and noticed that it was still quite spacious. After all, it's size was comparable to his room in this attic.
At first, Ban thought that it wasn't that big as it was a 'storage', however, he just knew recently that the most space a Dimensional Storage Ring has was only around 8 cubic meters.
Eight cubic meters was even considered big already for a space inside the Dimensional Storage Ring, and the bigger the space inside was, the more expensive it was. Of course, things like the Dimensional Storage Ring are precious items that could not simply be traded with Coins. There are a lot of factors involved even before one could think of buying one.
However, Ban has a Dimensional Storage that has the space of a room. Thinking about it now, he could only shake his head at how naive he was for thinking that the space was too small for a 'storage.'
Anyways, Ban took a look at Eva and noticed that she was not done stabilizing her rank yet.
Things like this are normal. The reason why he did not need to stabilize his rank first before was because it was the System who rewarded it for him to match Eva's rank at that time. It was Eva's title, 'First Mate' that allowed him to directly rank up without the need to stabilize his rank.
It was still early in dawn and Ban was not that sleepy after experiencing that 12 hours inside the Monster Realm. As he had nothing to do other than to wait for Eva to stabilize her rank, he decided to read the sex-related book first.
He was hoping that he could finish at least five books before Eva woke up.
Time flies in the blink of an eye and the next moment, Ban realized that the sun was already trying to announce its presence to the world.
It's ray shone and pierced Ban's eyes as if telling him to prostrate before it's almighty presence.
Ban shook his head and turned towards another direction and ignored the sunlight.. Just as he was about to read the book in his hands again, a System screen suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
