"I\'m not sure what I was expecting from a bear…." Leon chuckled in defeat, "But the berries are useful."
His eyes widened. "Wait! That\'s right. We\'re luring… no! That\'s bad goddamn it! These drops are bait for the wrong type of competitor!"
Leon was excited and then immediately frowned.
The group tried to bring out the narcissists to pick them off while they were weak. Instead, every beast in sight would track them down for some rare-grade BETTER MEEEEEAAAAT.
They accomplished their goal, but it wouldn\'t provide what they sought.
[That was what he believed.] (3)
Leon chose [Y] to choose a reward.

Welcome to the Competitors Vault, the god\'s shared treasury for God\'s Trial Official matches!
Congratulations! The gods have given you a choice reward of the following grade: Rare.
Note: Leon Traxler, the weakest of his party, did the most damage to an enemy over 50 levels higher than himself and was the sole strategist of the battle.
It was impressive and worthy of a rare item.
-
Options:
1. Kratos\' Bling (Necklace) - Rare-Grade - Diamond studded chain. Increases strength by 20%.
2. Alpha Call (Horn) - Rare-Grade - 25% chance that the beast you are fighting will run away or help you stay alive for 30 minutes.
Note: Beasts 30 levels or higher than the user will lose interest in fighting, not run or fight.
—
"Finally. Bling." Leon grinned. He finally got the right type of bait!
Leon was certain he had gotten plenty of items that would attract narcissists like moths to a flame.
However, this trial\'s benefit was getting publicly disclosed items. That way, everyone would know they had envious items.
Kratos\' Bling was a powerful item, tasteful, and flashy. It was perfect.
"Already, let\'s continue." Leon chuckled.

Entertainment Value Rewards!
Condition: Reward based upon the entertainment value of an event on a scale of 0/100.
25-50: Uncommon reward.
50-75: Unique reward.
75-99: Rare reward.
100: Epic reward.
Entertainment Value: 10,000/100
Reward grade(s): Legendary, Rare
Note: You maxed out and crushed the entertainment value of the event and then continued entertaining far beyond. Therefore, you have earned two awards.
-
Reward 1: Hype Man (Legendary-Grade Skill)
Description: When the user announces it is time to attack, the entire party gains a 10% increase in their stats for 60 seconds to [get the party started].
Note: Since 100 entertainment value points earn an epic reward, it was natural to earn a legendary award for crushing it.
Reward 2: Killing Intent (Rare-Grade Skill)
Description: Hits targetted individuals with crushing pressure. It can cause fear, anxiety, loss of speech, fainting, or other fear-based complications for enemies near or lower than the user\'s level.
Killing Intent loses its potency as the enemy\'s level gets higher.
Note: We wish we could have renamed this skill [Pudding Killer\'s Intent] to reflect why we chose this as your bonus reward. Hah! Haha. ;)

"Have your laughs and keep bringing the sugar." Leon chuckled while hugging Caitlyn tighter against his body.
His eyes widened as he continued. "What\'s this… no way… something normal…."

God\'s Announcement! God Candidate Leon Traxler has earned a historical achievement award for this event.
-
God\'s Entertainment Reward (Special): Life of the Party (Mythic-Grade Item)
Description: Can resurrect a party member within 24 hours of death.
-
Reward Reason: God Candidate Leon Traxler is the first God\'s Trial competitor to ever get the gods to stop measuring Entertainment Value points.
Leon Traxler already has 1000 god subscribers and 100,000 views for his content on day two of the trial.
He has also generated record funds for the God\'s Trial commission through official betting proceeds during a routine event.
We are giving him a mythic-grade item in light of his absurd and historic achievements.
—
"Well… that backfired." Leon sighed, "Everyone will search us out within a day of their loved one dying. The weak, strong, everyone."
Now beasts would search him out for high-class meat, and desperate parties who lost loved ones and friends would seek him out for the item.
It was only conjecture, but it was reasonable to think that way.
"Is everything okay?" Caitlyn asked worriedly.
"Yeah. You\'ll see it soon." Leon clarified before continuing.

Leon hit play on the third video out of confusion. When he did, he didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry.
The video clip started with two hell hounds having sex in the corner of the Inexpensiveco.
Then they came out to attack Leon. A split second later, Caitlyn reached them, pinned one down under her heel, ripped its spine out, and used it to whip its lover to death.
It was a truly brutal scene that was earning her crazy rewards from gods, including shock comments from King Minos, Achilles, and Cleopatra. (1)
That portion made him want to cry. In his mind, he was already on everyone\'s hit list, and the video discouraged the people they sought to trap!
However, what came after was too entertaining to complain about. It was a reaction video of the Christian God and Lucifer arguing over who should sponsor Caitlyn.
"Greg, she is a fallen angel, like myself, and she espouses hell\'s bloodthirsty nature." Lucifer claimed dryly.
"I have an entire Circle of Hell devoted to whipping lustful creatures, and I\'ve never seen technique that beautiful.
She\'s a fallen angel like me because we\'re alike." (1 Cont.)
"No, she\'s a human and thus cannot be an angel." Greg replied dismissively, "And who\'s the king of violence in the Bible? Rack up the kill count and tell me who deserves to sponsor the violent ones." (2)
"Here we go again." Lucifer said while rolling his eyes, "Choosing the old arguments when it suits the situation. No wonder humans are like that. Like father, like child, I guess."
"You understand you\'re my son, right?" Greg laughed bitterly.
"Only when it suits me." Lucifer replied blandly.

The video was live and already at the hour mark. It seemed that the two were trying to make a sponsorship deal with a signup bonus for Caitlyn.
However, the most liked comment made the video irrelevant.
"Just a bunch of old men being old. Yuno has full rights to call a compatibility switch."
The comment had 1382 god likes in less than two hours.
Greg originally claimed Caitlyn. However, when a candidate used the powers of one god to showcase close synergy with another, they had the right to call for a [compatibility switch].
The compatibility switch was a legal procedure that allowed a candidate to choose whether they wanted to switch to another god.
Therefore, the gods scrambled to woo her over when the time came. It was comical and excellent development for Leon.
So he pushed his thoughts about future robbing attempts from his mind and continued forward.

Congratulations! God Candidate Caitlyn Mira has earned a historical achievement award.
-
God\'s Cherry Poppin\' Award: An award given out when they\'ve introduced a god to something they\'ve experienced over a thousand years.
The act must have been possible during that period (i.e., new experiences from technology advancements do not count).
-
Reward: Yuno\'s Scythe (Epic-Grade Item)
Description: Sickle Wielded by Yuno, the Legendary God of Yanderes.
"A true woman doesn\'t need a god-grade weapon to protect their man. An epic-grade item is already overkill."
Note: By political necessity, Caitlyn Mira was given a joint gift by the father of fallen angels, the king of fallen angels, and the yandere god.
—
Leon developed a bitter-sweet smile reading the description.
He was thrilled Caitlyn was recognized and had a powerful weapon to defend him. But at the same time, he was disgruntled that his fabled weapon was an overpowered dildo.
"Let\'s finish up so I can take a breath." Leon sighed.

Do you wish to conclude your reward choices? [Y/N]
—
Ding! [Event Beast Overclock has concluded! Rewards have now been posted.
Reminder:
1. Items cannot be stolen without official matches. (3 cont.)
…
2. Special Rewards are classified, specific to the awardee, and cannot be used by another candidate regardless of whether it\'s gifted, loaned, or stolen.
…
3. Gods cannot discuss skills unique-grade or higher in the Forbidden Library forum or with candidates.
…
4. Candidates cannot earn skills from fighting with other candidates. The only exception is if they win an official match between candidates.
Conclusion: The God Trial isn\'t a deathmatch. [It can be won by all candidates simultaneously].
Killing and robbing other contestants will often result in the candidates failing the trial. So it is both fruitless and counterintuitive.

Leon was stunned by what he had read. The gods created rules to dissuade others from trying to rob him!
That was a blessing while having the Life of the Party item. However, it was bitter-sweet because his assassins were potential member farms!
Every narcissist would bring their harem to kill him, and then he\'d have more [party members]. It was even possible to team up with a strong candidate and later have them join.
Leon wasn\'t hoping for a harem. Instead, he\'d like to develop relationships with as many candidates as possible.
He doubted that normal women would be just as crazy as the murder cheerleading squad around him. So he\'d have to convince them that being a psychopath was positive.
Wait! What a childish line of thinking!
Jealousy was far more powerful than rules, gods, or trials. Petty people would certainly come out in droves. Most willing to rob him—the stupid—wouldn\'t read the fine print.
Such people will skip to the next part and start drooling.
Then they\'d bring out their harem members, and he\'d show up to save, protect, and shelter them.
Since he had obsessive partners, they\'d doubtlessly scare women into avoiding him for unofficial reasons. Thus they\'d scare them into feeling safe, knowing he wouldn\'t make advances on them.
Ultimately, Leon wanted only one thing from women. Power. He\'d save, protect, and give them anything they wanted in exchange for it. Caitlyn could provide everything else.
The more women he came in contact with, the better. Now he had faith he\'d be saving some soon because of how stupid human beings were.
All that was missing was some dazzling bait for which someone would threaten Leon into a deathmatch to obtain.
The thought they\'d take Caitlyn hostage to make him fight made his stomach flutter.

"Sarah. Are you a spy?" Leon asked with narrowed eyes.
