Chapter 77: Core Integration
Nox stared at the list of rewards laid out in his vision, the quiet of the small room feeling a million miles away.
’Holy shit. This is fucking insane.’ The thought wasn’t just a whisper; it was a loud, incredulous shout inside his head. ’Legendary? Mythic? From a stupid ten-spin? My luck stat is trash, this has to be a bug.’
But he didn’t care if it was a bug. The loot was real, and it was his. The gacha, the dumbest, most predatory system mechanic imaginable, had just paid out bigger than anything else. He almost laughed.
He flicked through his new acquisitions, his mind racing. A teleport skill. A permanent stat boost. A title that made him luckier. And that Seed of Corruption... it sounded dangerous as hell, which meant the payoff had to be huge.
’No point letting this stuff just sit there,’ he decided. His eyes locked on the Vial of Dragon’s Blood in his inventory.
He thought, ’Use it.’
[You have consumed the Vial of Dragon’s Blood!]
[The potent energies of a dragon course through your veins, reinforcing your very being.]
[Strength has permanently increased by 5!]
[Endurance has permanently increased by 5!]
A wave of heat washed through him, not painful like the mana awakening, but a deep, powerful warmth that settled in his bones. He felt stronger, more solid. It was a good feeling.
