As Adyr checked his stats, he could feel the change in his body. The [Will] stat worked its wonders once again. It felt as if every cell in his body had awakened, all urging him to move.
The rustling leaves, the insects crawling on the ground, the drifting clouds above—everything around him seemed to resonate with his motion. He felt as though he was beginning to understand the rhythm behind it all. Even the smallest movement carried intention.
It was like upgrading his brain from Human OS 1.0 to 2.0—a revolutionary shift that delivered maximum efficiency with minimal effort.
He paused for a moment to savor the sensation, then continued his hunt.
This time, he was faster. One by one, he tracked down wolves and took them out.
Unless he launched a surprise attack, the wolves’ reflexes still let them dodge his first strike. But the more accustomed he grew to his blades, the more lethal his follow-up became. By the second strike, most couldn’t recover.
When he found the eighth and final wolf of the day, he didn’t go in for the kill.
