Chapter 90. What Are You Doing?
[Skill: Fragment of the Heart of Flame Level 1]
Kim Do-Joon stared at the glowing ember in his hand, a fragment of the Heart of Flame that Vulcanus had given him. The small, flickering flame danced lightly, radiating warmth. Just then, something unexpected began to happen.
[The Fragment has resonated with the surrounding energy.]

Messages scrolled rapidly before his eyes, which widened in shock. Although Vulcanus had explained the nature of the Fragment, he hadn’t anticipated such an outcome. According to the Fire Spirit King, this fragment wasn’t just a shard of the true Heart of Flame, but something else entirely.
Vulcanus, born from the primordial flame, wasn’t made entirely of Heart of Flame. The Heart of Flame was his core, while this fragment was a residue. Rather than the core at its purest form, it was the fire of Vulcanus, altered by the influence of the Heart of Flame.
This particular flame had a unique characteristic: Resonance. Kim Do-Joon had been told that the Fragment could resonate with the energy around it, and now he was witnessing it firsthand.
