Kaiden let the moment linger a second longer, then drew the interface fully into focus.
The world didn’t vanish. It never did anymore. It simply slid back, becoming background noise as the familiar system frame unfolded cleanly in his mind, sharp and readable, numbers locking into place with quiet finality.

Kaiden stared at the experience requirement for a long time.
"... Fifty million," he muttered, the number sitting heavy in his chest. "That’s just cruel."
His fingers were already at Luna’s cheeks, thumbs pressing in from either side, squishing her face into a pout she didn’t even try to stop. She shot him an offended look that immediately lost all bite when her cheeks stayed trapped.
"Hey! My face is not for stress relief!" she protested with words that were slightly mangled. "And, yeah! Totally unfair! We’re getting nerfed for no reason!" Her lips trembled once in indignation as she puffed her cheeks harder, eyes narrowing.
Kaiden’s mouth curved upward as he pinched a little more, enjoying the way her expressions shifted under his fingers. She scoffed, clearly affronted, but didn’t pull away. She was too tired to fight him after a full day of monster hunting and far too happy with where she was right now to even consider moving.
Nyx’s hands never stopped their steady work on his shoulders as she spoke. "Gremlin Bestie, you say that as if it were only us who were affected. All awakened hit these thresholds once they pass the needed level. It’s a known wall."
Her fingers pressed a little deeper, easing the muscle that had been abused all day. "I’ve heard level one hundred raises the requirements again, and into a truly unfair territory at that." A pause came before she added, "Though I don’t know the exact numbers."
Aria lifted the cup again before he could reply, blowing softly over the surface, eyes gentle as she brought it back to his lips. "Drink again, Kai. You deserve it..." she said lovingly.
Kaiden did, feeling warmth spread through him as he swallowed, then immediately returned his attention to Luna, pinching her cheeks again until she let out a drawn-out, annoyed whine.
"Hey! Stop that, or I’ll beat you to a pulp!" she complained, even as she leaned into him instead of away, eyes half-lidded with exhaustion and contentment. "You’re abusing your privileges a bit too much these days. I’ll organize a girlfriend union and bring about the end of your abusive tyranny."
He chuckled and only increased the intensity of his actions, making Luna’s delicate face into numerous funny expressions. "It’s the same pattern as before," he murmured while watching her affronted eyes, staring into them without a single ounce of apology. "After level twenty-five, experience requirements jumped tenfold. After fifty..." He glanced back at the number. "Hundredfold."
The realization settled fully this time.
"This is where leveling stops being something we can casually do by killing a single horde of strong monsters," Kaiden continued. "From here on out, every single level is going to be a real grind."
Kaiden let the thought settle, then flicked his focus sideways, pulling up the next pane of the interface.
A translucent panel slid into place, numbers updating with a soft chime.
[Views: 1.20 billion ➝ 1.46 billion]
[Income: 80,000 ➝ 102,500]
[Fangirls: 45,000 ➝ 61,800]
Kaiden blinked once.
Then he let out a slow breath through his nose and grinned.
So that was how it was.
