Days on the cruise ship ( Part 1 )
The show lasted for three whole hours...
During all this time, Anka did not move at all from her chair, she was so absorbed in what she was seeing. In fact, her whole body hurt and she was nauseous, but her attention was always on the stage.
The side effects of the potions were quite strong but her mind was very strong. No one could guess what pains she was going through now...
The amphitheater hall was filled with voices, apparently everyone who watched the show was impressed by the story. Anka looked at the elf, he was also with a surprised face...
'Strange, they didn't know the legend either?'
Anka had doubts in her mind but she didn't feel like them now...
System prompts appeared throughout the show, but she didn't have time to check them. Now she wanted to use the time the two guests were talking about the experience , to read the system messages that she had been ignoring.
A window had appeared in front of her with the oldest message...
[ Ding!]
[ Player resists intense pain while in a highly focused state, control increases by one point!]
[ Ding!]
[ Player resists intense pain while in a highly focused state, control increases by one point!]
[ Player resists intense pain while in a highly focused state, control increases by one point!]

...
[ Ding!]
[ An increase in control over 10 was detected, the system requests a rescan of the body ...]
[ Scanning in progress . ]
[ Ding!]
[ Body data has been updated !]
[ The player has gained a talent or skill slot .]
[ The player has unlocked the 'Precision' criterion.]
[ The player has unlocked the 'Capacity' criterion.]
[ Possibility of increasing magic and energy is detected. Recalculation is requested.]
[ Recalculation finished.]
[ We ask the player to keep working hard .]
[ Player resists intense pain while in a highly focused state, control increases by one point!]
[ Player resists intense pain while in a highly focused state, control increases by one point!]
...
Anka widened her eyes at these messages.
She would never have calculated the side effect of a potion being her springboard to raising her stats...
Although with a closer look she could see that the one who did all this was her control, she couldn't help but wonder...
Only now did she realize that she was actually very patient and had a strong mind... If there was time, she would have checked the status window more thoroughly, but she left it for later for now.
Fahim and Svartur got up from their chairs. Anka stood up quickly and a pain stabbed her from her feet to the crown of her head, although she froze for a moment she continued the movement and opened the curtain of the balcony for the two to pass.
She believed in professionalism. If she has taken on a job, she will do it properly until the end. You could tell she was really proud of the fact that she read books just so she could take care of these 'alien' species.
It was already 9:30 p.m., so the guests were ready to go back to their rooms.
On the way, she saw the angel, but he didn't pay attention to her. His hand was attached again and his clothes were intact. Anka quickly turned her head and focused on the road.
She couldn't stay long now, the pain she felt in her whole body was almost unbearable, so she wanted to quickly return to her room...
However, she had not expected what followed. When she opened the door of apartment 10, Fahim had not entered but was still sitting there. Anka turned to him wondering what the matter was…
Then the dragon's voice was heard from behind the mask:
- Sleep in the apartment with me.
Then enter. Anka was still at the door. She had no idea what to do.
'To enter or not to enter? '
'Hah...I don't like to bang my head too much, so why don't I go in?'
With that she closed the door behind her. The rest went very smoothly. The food had been delivered in 5 minutes and Fahim asked her not to leave the guest room until 8 the next day unless he called her.
Then Anka retired satisfied to rest.
She took a shower in the attached bathroom, bought some comfortable purple pajamas with a cat print on them (20 gold coins) and climbed into bed. Now she wanted to check the character window.

Anka looked at the increase in energy and magic with great joy. The fact that she had a fairly high intelligence and high control came in very handy...
However, she must also constantly raise his physical strength ...
Then eyes fell on Special Scroll ( S ) . She didn't know what to do with this yet.
'I mean, if they were to choose a power or talent... '
Well, after a moment's thought she chose power, for the sheer fact that she had three talents and only two powers. Now the phase with Special Scroll ( S ) is that it's a kind of lottery.
It randomly attracts some fragments of rules and feeds the human soul with them, but it depends on the human soul what it turns into. Man can choose whether it is talent or power as if he were holding a switch (the system puts the base code that attracts eg rules that usually give rise to talents / powers however there is a chance that what you ask for is not what you get although it is rarer).
Anka asked the system to open Special Scroll (S).
[Host are you sure?]
- Yes .
Then the scroll appeared in front of the girl and opened on , then turned black. Anka felt a warm air hitting her face and then her vision went dark.
The next time she opened her eyes the room was already lit by sunlight and she was on the bed.
'I expected that...'
[ Be more careful host next time. Awakening a power or talent is very tiring and painful considering that the soul does it, next time do it when you are rested.]
- I scared you ?
[ No .]
- You can be more honest.
[ I said no .]
- What do you say?
[Um...]
' He is not without reason frightened ...'
Anka knew it was dangerous to awaken powers or talents but she trusted her soul. Something told her that the soul was probably the strongest in her body. Given the stats she started with...
Anka looked at the clock. 7 o'clock in the morning.
'Good. I have a full hour before I have to go out.'
Then she was ready to check what she got last night.

Anka quickly gave the details.
