[Due to the effect of the title: <Researcher> Exp received has been increased by 30%]
The texts flooded in, but just like the last time, Ashton could not pay any attention to them as he was too busy dealing with the changes in his body. Although the pain right now wasn't as worse as when his physique was altered the previous time, it was still pretty bad.
A minute later, he was back on his feet and this time, he felt… happy. The Elder wolf must have been a somewhat unique creature for it to give him such absurd amounts of exp. But Ashton had more important matters to tend to first… like his new class.

Ashton didn't immediately check the effects of those two skills, instead, he waited to do it afterwards. First, he wanted to get the rewards for killing the Elder wolf and collect the flower before leaving the cave for good.
He wasted no time and collected a bunch of histeria flowers from there. But while he was at it, he found something weird. He saw a sealed chest right where the elder wolf had been sleeping before.
"A secret treasure… or is it a trap?"
Ashton never knew what could these chests possibly contain. Also, his past experience with opening chests hasn't been good so he was a bit reluctant to open the chest. But not checking the chest could turn out to be a huge mistake as well.
"Fck it, YOLO all the way."
Ashton kicked open the chest and as he did that a cold gust of wind passed him, chilling his bones. At first, it felt as if someone was sucking his soul away but the next moment it turned into a pleasant soothing sensation.
"Find me…" A voice hissed, "Complete… the circle… and find me…"
"What the hell was that?" Ashton looked around him frantically, but there was nothing around him. Just the chest, skeletons, flowers and a dead dungeon boss, "I swear I heard something… maybe I'm tired and hearing crap… yeah, that has to be it. Whatever, let's see what's inside the chest."
Ashton was hoping to find some weapons or gears inside the huge chest. But to his disappointment, there was only a pair of earrings inside a chest that could have been filled with at least half a dozen armour sets.
"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined." Ashton sighed before picking up the earrings, though the moment he took them outside the chest another notification appeared in front of him.

"Grim reaper's quest? Quite a catchy name, if I may say so…" Ashton scratched the back of his head, "Let's look what it can do shall we?"

"…"
Ashton stood there in silence reading the same paragraphs again and again. He couldn't believe his luck wasn't rotten. Hell, he was the luckiest bastard alive on the planet.
Not only did he receive the class required to use the earrings, but he also receive a legendary piece of equipment along with it.
"Is there a secret luck stat as well? Because if there is then… it must be over nine thousand in my case!" After a long time, Ashton felt genuinely happy, as if he was on cloud nine.
But the next moment something strange happened. There was a notification notifying him about an 'intruder' was detected in 'his' dungeon. Although the notification stated it as clearly as possible, Ashton was a bit confused.
"Why the heck am I being referred to as the owner of the dungeon? Wait… is this what the system meant by 'Authority'?"
As the realisation dawned on Ashton, his shocked face turned into a sadistic smile. He wanted to test the effect of the earrings as well as his new class. Consequently, he saw it as the perfect opportunity to test his new talents out.
"Man… what rotten luck should someone have to enter the cave at the moment.." Ashton sighed and walked off towards the entrance to find his unlucky test subject.
