[Congratulations, Host.]
[You have absorbed a D-grade Monster Core (Third Rank).]
[Dark Mana successfully absorbed: 100%.]
[New Affinity Unlocked: Shadow Affinity (Very Light).]
[Host Mana (MP) Stat has been Updated.]
[From Mana: F- ➝ E+]
[Congratulations, Host. You have finally upgraded your Mana stat.] The system's cold, mechanical voice echoed with an eerie finality.
Razeal's breath caught for a moment as the digital panels hovered before his eyes. A thin grin crept across his face.
"Good," he muttered, fingers curling as a faint pulse of dark energy flickered over his palm.
The status window confirmed it F- to E+. He had actually done it.
For the first time since he had awakened in this cursed world of white mana, his mana stat had risen.
Finally… a breakthrough. Even if small.
But the satisfaction didn't last long. Something wasn't right. A frown tugged at his brow as he studied the floating notifications again, instincts flaring.
Something… was off.
