Just as Brand's mind spiraled through the implications of the severed beetle link and the tightening pattern of events, a system message cut through his thoughts like the crack of a whip.
For a brief, solitary instant, the entire world seemed to go monochrome beneath the weight of the words rendered in his mind's eye.
[Reward calculation complete for Den of Worms.]
It was so abrupt, yet so well-timed, that Brand almost laughed. He welcomed the messages gladly.
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
[You have leveled up.]
The long-awaited rewards had finished being calculated and were on their way, ready to be delivered to their rightful owner.
He had no intention of using the stat points right away, preferring to save them up. Still, there were some changes in his status—namely, an additional stat: SPR.
