Chapter 866: Incredible Gains

"The first one..." She murmured softly and turned the page.

The second photograph was different, attached to the document minutes ago.

Kaiden Grey as he stood now, more muscular and firmer, his gaze carrying the flat certainty of someone who knew exactly how the world worked and what he needed to do to achieve his goals.

And behind him, filling the frame from edge to edge, a mountain of dark carapace crowned with six burning eyes, its body angled toward the camera with the protective alertness of a hound that had chosen its master.

She studied this image longer.

"Stupid little thing," she murmured, and her voice softened into a fondness that resembled warmth the way a blade resembles a mirror. "It couldn’t help itself, could it? Saw something bright, bit down, and choked."

Her nails caught the candlelight as her fingers curled once against the page. "That is what happens when a creature follows hunger instead of practicing patience. It finds a master before it ever learns to become one."

She closed the dossier, set it on the armrest, and the drowsiness left her eyes entirely.

"I’ll read the rest later. For now... there’s work to be done."

...

The white light faded, and the Abyssal Cavern stood around them exactly as they had left it.

[Dimensional seal: dissolved.]

[Dungeon #A23-6679 has been restored to its point of origin.]

[Current location: Earth.]

Kaiden read the notification and felt nothing about it for a moment, because his body was still talking to him.

He had spent the nine hundred and sixty points during the countdown and felt the wave of them settling, but settling and living in the result were different conversations entirely.

The dimension had collapsed three seconds later, and the white light had swallowed everything before the new body could finish introducing itself.

Now, standing on solid stone with the Cavern’s cool air against his skin, the introduction arrived in full.

His hands were wrong first.

He flexed his fingers and the response came so fast it preceded the thought, tendons answering a command his conscious mind hadn’t finished giving, and the grip that closed around his gauntlet could have bent the metal if he’d meant it.

Four hundred and fifty-eight points of Strength.

He’d walked into the duel at two hundred and eighteen, a number that had already been putting him ahead of awakened levels above him, and in a single allocation he had added two hundred and forty more.

Two hundred and forty.

An average awakened earned ten stat points per level and spread them across multiple stats, which meant the Strength he’d just poured into himself in one sitting was worth more than what most fighters gained across their entire careers.

Then the Agility caught up.

Five hundred and sixty-three.

Three hundred points gained in a breath, from a number that had already made him faster than anyone on his team except Luna to a number that belonged on a creature, not a person.
