[System Benefits Granted to the Host:
1. Mind Shield — The Host is rendered completely immune to all forms of mental interference, including but not limited to mind reading, mind control, memory manipulation, illusions, empathic intrusions, and other psychic abilities.
2. Soul Guard — The Host’s soul is fully protected by the system, rendering all forms of soul-based attacks and manipulations ineffective.]

He shook his head, brushing the thought aside. There was no point in dwelling on such things that didn’t affect him.
’System, provide the details of the rapier,’ Asher thought, his eyes drifting down to the weapon still resting in his grasp.
