Not only was there a significant increase in EXP, TP, RL, and features, but Aaron also gained several unique abilities as a reward for reaching sage and other items from previously killed mages.
He found an item to increase his inventory after killing Gunther and the Great Elder. It was an item Aaron desperately needed, two storage-enhancing items that would allow him to store 5000 different types of items.
[Item Details:]
[Name: Inventory Upgrade Slip]
[Grade: 5]
[Quantity: 2]
[Description: Useful for increasing the maximum amount of storage by 2500 for each item]
Aaron smiled. He activated the slip, where the small circle in the center lit up in blue. Gently, the two slips faded and disappeared, but the flow of magic inside them rushed into Aaron's body, bringing up another information panel.
[DING! Congratulations on increasing inventory level]
[Inventory level: 1] -> [Inventory level: 5]
[Storage increased: 100/5000]
The increase in item quantity was good news for Aaron; he could store more items of different types, which might increase his strength if used properly. He never thought killing many people could give him significant benefits.
Items such as MP Elixir, HP Potion, TP Elixir, and even Crystal MP are obtained in large quantities and high levels, one item totaling >1000 with a minimum level of 3. Not only that, Aaron also got other items that might be useful or useless to him. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

The remaining items were weapons and other items, such as incomplete fragments, low-level items, and clothing. That wasn't all Aaron needed. At least he needed complete items with high levels to help improve his abilities.
Due to high curiosity, Aaron decided to see what his profile status was like and how many ability points he got, considering the number of levels rose drastically to level 325.
[PROFILE STATUS:]
[Name: Aaron Lewis]
[Age: 19]
[Level: 325]
[EXP: 1504500/12500000]
[HP: 546000/546000]
[MP: 1375000/1375000]

[Mage Level: Venerable Sage]
[Race: High Human]
[Title: Murderer]
[Money: 4458000 RL]
That's right! The amount for HP and MP increased along with Aaron's EXP, which is the impact of receiving EXP from killing hundreds of thousands of people.
He could have gotten more, but seeing that the majority of the victims were low-status people, it could be said that it accounted for a mere 10 million experience receipts.
But this was more than enough. Aaron's adventurous path didn't want to be a ruthless villain who killed for no reason.
He just wanted to conquer the Dark Pillar Tower, obtain the Dark Ruler Title, and arrive at the surface faster.
He hadn't been trapped in the Dark Pillar Tower for five years, but his level was already on par with those on the 50th floor.
The monsters and enemies on the lower floors would unlikely threaten his presence, given that Aaron had gained two great powers in close cooperation with Dark Azazel.
Slowly, the power of Dark Azazel in Aaron's body disappeared. Both his eyes recovered to normal, the black magic armor also faded into small magic particles. He became Aaron as before.
Even so, he didn't expect the power to drain the energy in his body. The sleeves of his shirt were damaged, and Aaron's appearance was completely messed up.
The weakening of the man's power caused him to lose his balance, followed by a moment of coughing up blood that never ended.
Aaron fell from the sky with his Secondary Talent deactivated. His eyesight was blurry, his arms and legs felt heavy to move, and his chest felt constantly tight as if something was pressing down on him.
'I'm helpless,' Aaron muttered.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a dimensional rift appeared right before him before he fell to the ground. His eyes rounded wide, his lip line smiling with a beating heart.
A woman emerged from the rift, both white-skinned arms adorned with strands of dress sleeves stretched forward to catch Aaron.
Aerith appeared with tears of emotion flowing from the corner of her eyes. She was happy to see Aaron was fine after using his terrifying power.
The setting sun's light accompanied the two, casting an amber twilight that illuminated the dead city. The birds flew back into the city, welcoming the appearance of Aerith with a charming face highlighted by the twilight of the day. The atmosphere between the two was so soothing.
Time seemed to go slower when the two met eyes. They met again after the city was flattened to the ground after Aaron committed the biggest massacre in the history of Dark Pillar Tower. For Aerith, Aaron was everything; she would do anything for Aaron's safety and happiness.
That was why she took Isabella's body to the Dark Dimension and cared for her soul. If not, Aerith was worried Isabella would be destroyed along with thousands of people in this city.
"You must be tired, Aaron," Aerith replied softly.
"I am. I'm tired, Aerith."
Aaron was caught by Aerith, the gentle touch of the woman's two hands embracing Aaron warmly. Aaron closed his eyes when Aerith embraced him, feeling comfortable with Aerith's gentle attitude. Aerith smiled; Aaron's attitude was a bit like a spoiled baby.
"Let's go home," Aerith pleaded.
The man responded by clearing his throat. The battle had drained his strength quite a lot. At least he needed to sleep and rest until his condition recovered.
In Aerith's arms, Aaron entered the dimensional rift with her. The dimensional rift closed on its own, shrinking and disappearing completely from the city.
Andrew and Silvianna flew near the ruined city gate wall. Andrew was shocked to the point of speechlessness.
The city had been flattened to the ground, and not a single building was still standing —including the Sky Sword 10th HQ.
The explosion injured them both —even though it was just a blast of magic pressure. Still, the wounds they received were not so fatal that it would not threaten their lives.
"Where is Aaron? Did he die in the explosion, too?" asked Silviana.
"I have no idea."
