Jax used to hate this.
Traveling in a carriage. Surrounded by cold, silent figures. The awkward tension. The forced proximity.
But right now?
He was enjoying every bit of it.
A book rested in his hands. "Fundamentals of Mana: A Beginner's Guide." The silence around him was perfect. No distractions. No complaints. Just him and the pages.
He needed to learn this.
His system had revealed a new affinity he could acquire. The cost? 569 DP points more that makes 1000 DP.
His current balance was 431.
After everything he had farmed from the champions to his night with Adelina. Still not enough.
He had thought thoroughly about how to get stronger.
And with the new affinity he had seen, he was getting ready to how to master it through the knowledge.
Understanding the mechanics. Exploiting the loopholes.
A wave of nostalgia hit him.
Back on Earth, he used to do this with every game. Study every mechanic. Memorize every stat. Understand every system.
Then dominate.
