Adyr’s Earth body never truly rested, even at home. With his stats already high and requiring less sleep than ordinary mortals, his talents continued to develop relentlessly.

His Reader talent increased steadily as he diligently recorded newly acquired knowledge by hand, later reviewing and refining his notes.

The Linguistic talent grew through constant practice, while documenting his knowledge, he deliberately used multiple languages from his previous life. Writing in various tongues both concealed the content from unintended readers and helped him maintain fluency, sharpening his talent further.

His Cooking talent developed each morning as he prepared creative breakfasts for Marielle and Niva. Especially during these moments, tailoring meals to aid Marielle’s psychological recovery not only supported her healing but also enhanced Adyr’s own skill through thoughtful experimentation.

Having two bodies is undeniably advantageous, Adyr thought with a faint smirk as he accepted the system messages and proceeded to register his talents.

His free stat points surged instantly from 40 to 100 after burning 300 energy crystals. Yet, he chose not to spend them immediately—there was no urgent need.

He planned to reserve these points for upgrading his talents to level 4, but only after raising each to level 3 first.

The toughest to level up appeared to be [Sword Art of Existence (Lv1)], which would likely require significant increases in his [Sense] and [Will] stats to improve soon.

However, Adyr didn’t want to focus solely on those two stats while neglecting the others. For now, it made more sense to continue practicing steadily and only spend free stat points when he encountered a hard limit.

There was another problem. Every time he increased his stats, he experienced sudden bursts of strength and insight, but also side effects he had started noticing recently.

Rapid stat growth demanded an adaptation period. Particularly, each increase in [Sense] felt like opening a third eye; his environmental comprehension sharpened to the point that his senses remained constantly alert.

Feeling every gaze cast upon him, always sensing someone trailing his steps, intensified the paranoia that had long plagued his killer’s mind, wearing him down mentally.

Meanwhile, raising [Will] heightened his body’s sensitivity to movement—his control over even the smallest motions became obsessive, forcing continuous adjustments.

This not only taxed his mind but also placed physical strain on him.

For these reasons, proceeding cautiously—fully adapting to each stat increase before pushing further—was the wiser path.

While Adyr was still standing outside the tent, lost in his thoughts and plans, subtle changes were unfolding around him.

By the time he finished selling his equipment inside, the sun had already surrendered to the deep black-and-white monochrome of night. The entire market was illuminated by countless small creatures resembling fireflies, their flickering lights casting a gentle yet vivid glow over the bustling area.

Despite the late hour, the crowd around him was denser and more vibrant than when he had first arrived.

A sudden commotion nearby caught his attention.

Not far off, along the main path leading to the central tent, an unusual crowd had gathered, all eyes drawn to a striking trio moving through.

Among them, one figure stood unmistakably apart.

A woman about Adyr’s height, her silver hair flowing freely down her back, shimmering in the ethereal light cast by the fireflies. Her sharp, silver eyes scanned the surroundings with a detached, almost imperious gaze, as if she observed the world from a higher realm.

She was wearing a garment that hugged every curve of her body, pure white like fresh snow. The outfit blended tactical functionality with a touch of fantasy elegance—sleek, stylish, and perfectly tailored to emphasize her flawless form.

Close behind her, two women followed, matching her silver hair and piercing eyes. Yet their attire was humbler, modest, maid-like uniforms that stood in stark contrast to their mistress’s regal presence.

As they walked, the crowd couldn’t help but part and watch, captivated not only by their extraordinary beauty but also by the undeniable aura of power and authority that radiated from their leader.

Every step they took commanded attention, leaving no doubt: this was someone important, someone not to be ignored.

While Adyr watched with interest, trying to gauge their strength, a familiar voice came from the tent behind.

"Oh, looks like the Young Lady of the Lunari Kingdom has arrived," Maruun said, having noticed the commotion as he stepped outside, his eyes fixed on the trio.

Adyr raised an eyebrow at the remark. He had read about the Lunari race in the books and held a particular interest in them. Encountering them now piqued his curiosity even more.

The Lunari were likely the strongest race and kingdom in this region, arguably even superior to the Umbraens.

Their main distinction was their allegiance to the Ignis Path.

Like Sevrak, they had a Rank 4 patriarch holding a prestigious title, and their kingdom’s structure was nearly identical. Of course, they were not ruled by fear or slavery like the Nether Path followers, but they were still a fiercely warlike people.

"She looks like Rank 2, right?" Adyr asked without taking his eyes off her.

"Yeah. And she’ll probably be one of the main contenders," Maruun replied, catching the meaning behind the question.

Many kingdoms and races were set to participate in the upcoming Legacy Domain event, and the Lunari were undoubtedly among the toughest opponents.

While the Umbraens posed a resilient challenge with their [Resilience] stat, the Lunari brought a different edge to the field with their emphasis on [Will].

This new rival didn’t intimidate Adyr. Instead, it fueled his excitement. More competition meant more thrill and more opportunity.
