A leap

It didn’t take Aron long to finish assimilating the new knowledge he had purchased from the system shop. However, the cost had been steep—nearly twenty-five percent of the SP he had painstakingly hoarded for over a decade had suddenly vanished. Yet his expression remained calm and composed. He had always known the SP existed to be used when necessary, and feeling regretful or hesitant at a critical moment would have been counterproductive.

The urgency of the new revelations, which had reignited his drive, ensured that he felt no remorse for spending the SP. In fact, he was confident that the knowledge he had acquired was sufficient to solve the remaining obstacles in his research. With everything he now possessed, Aron was sure that unless unforeseen issues arose, he would have a functional production-ready product within the next few weeks.

Motivated and focused, he was ready to move forward, knowing the path ahead was clearer than ever.
