Alden stood silently looking at the system pop-up in front of him.
His thoughts, once clouded, now settled into a strange calm.
[YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ENDURED THE TRAUMA OF HUMAN: GRAVIUS]
[GRANTING REWARDS]
[CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING REWARDS]
[1. A LOW RANK SKILL: SOUL BARGAIN]
[2. A LOW RANK TECHNIQUE: DEMONIC COVENANT]
[3. BASIC SPEAR MASTERY]
[4. STATS ]
Huh?
Why's the stat greyed out?
Alden felt confused. He tried clicking on it. But nothing happened.
Instead, another small window popped up.
[WARNING: THE USER'S BODY HAD RECENTLY UNDERGONE A BREAKTHROUGH. INCREASING STAT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE]
So it's because of my breakthrough.
Alden thought intently for a while.
The skill and technique options practically screamed danger.
Soul Bargain and Demonic Covenant—he didn't need a full description.
The names alone were enough.
They promised power, but power Alden would never accept.
So he decided to reject the skill and techniques without any hesitation.
