Demien walked slowly toward the tunnel as teammates exchanged handshakes with Udinese players, and his legs felt the accumulated load of twenty-eight minutes even though the contribution hadn't produced individual statistics that would appear in match reports.
The system interface materialized as he reached the tunnel entrance, and the notification appeared without fanfare.
「MATCH MISSION COMPLETE」
「Performance: Substitute Appearance - 28 Minutes」
「Role: Functional Contribution」
「+30 MP」
「+10 TP」
「Current Balance: 249 MP | 158 TP | 2 SP」
The notification faded quickly and Demien continued toward the dressing room where the atmosphere was satisfied rather than celebratory because three points at home against Udinese was expected rather than surprising.
