Nadine and Victor exchanged glances. Silent sparks of triumph and happiness flickering between them.
The glow of their level-up had already faded now because they have another reward, leaving only a little bit of exhaustion and the strange exhilaration of victory.
Myles watched, tilting his head slightly. He could tell something was different for them but only they could see the details of their own Systems.
"You got it?" Victor asked.
"Yeah," Nadine answered with a small nod and a smile. "I got it."
They talked as if they could sense each other getting new weapons.
Myles's brow arched. "What is it? You both look like you're hiding something."
Victor's grin spread wide. "I gained a weapon, Myles."
Myles's eyes widened at once.
A weapon? Lilian had already explained to him how rare it was to get one in this apocalypse—rarer than most rewards the System could ever give, like a skill even.
