Chapter 15: Val’Sharah
The last of the Vindicators had fled, leaving behind the heavy silence of victory and the smell of ozone and blood.
Ragnar Vhagar, Demon King and now Level 2, leaned back on his brutally uncomfortable obsidian throne.
The adrenaline from the fight was fading, leaving behind the dull, familiar ache of a middle manager who just survived a hostile quarterly review.
His kobolds were dragging the corpse of the fallen mage away, their movements grimly efficient.
Thirty of their own had been lost, a fact that sat like a cold stone in Ragnar’s gut. The cost of leveling up was steep.
He looked at his phone, the glowing screen a beacon of sanity in his new, violent life.
[You are now Level 2!]
[Your Creation Point (CP) Cap has increased to 200!]
[Your Creation Point (CP) Recovery Rate has increased!]
[You have gained 5 Bonus Points (BP)!]
Five whole points. It felt like a fortune and nothing at all.
