Arin sat beside the burned forest.
The dragon was gone.
But the terror it left behind remained.
He opened the system window again.
[Host: Arin]
[Level: 2]
[Strength: 8]
[Agility: 9]
[Intelligence: 7]
Arin raised an eyebrow.
"So leveling actually increases stats."
He focused on another option.
[System Store: Locked]
[Skill Evolution: Locked]
[Special Ability: Locked]
"Looks like most things are still sealed."
The system responded instantly.
[Host must reach Level 10 to unlock additional functions.]
Arin nodded slowly.
"So I just need to keep leveling."
His gaze shifted toward the forest.
Countless monsters probably lived there.
And each one meant experience points.
A new notification appeared.
[Main Quest Generated]
[Path to Power]
[Reach Level 10]
[Reward: System Expansion]
Arin stood up.
His eyes burned with determination.
"Alright then."
He cracked his knuckles.
"Let's start hunting."
