Chapter 10: Genetic Mutation
Adyr...
Vesha repeated the name in her mind several times, as if trying to remember something.
At first, she had assumed he was just another adventurer—someone who had come to the cave seeking quick fortune, one of those who would do anything for the right amount of cash.
She knew that, by nature, adventurers were cunning and skilled, and she had hoped that maybe, just maybe, he would find a way to open the cell gate. Maybe he even knew a safe route out of the cave.
Those were her only hopes in this desperate situation.
No more, no less.

She saw the purple crystal.
She watched him swallow it casually, as if it were nothing more than candy.
And what shocked her most: he remained completely fine afterward. Someone is consuming an energy crystal and surviving without so much as a twitch.
Vesha could think of only one possibility. He is a practitioner.
