Chapter 106: Soul

[Your mental fortitude and willpower have proven yourself worthy in the attack against your soul. The second layer of your talent [Soulforge] has been unlocked.]

The moment Alex read this notification, he was at first confused.

'Why did this show up now? Don't these usually show up right at the moment you've achieved what it specifies? What's with the delay?'

In all honesty, Alex wasn't too shocked when he saw the notification about his most mysterious talent. He had known from the beginning that it was special compared to all of the other talents he had heard of, which was only further confirmed by the system itself calling it unique.

[Due to the nature of your talent, it took some time to process the information before you could be presented with your reward.]

"Right…" Alex voiced his thoughts aloud.
