Absorbing Souls.

Kael entered the simple yet comfortable room, feeling the tension of the past days finally begin to fade. The atmosphere was cozy, with a decent-sized bed, a wooden table, and a window overlooking the city. He felt a sense of lightness in his mind, as if he could finally relax.

After paying for the night with the two copper coins his mother had left him, Kael closed the door behind him and moved towards the bed.

He sat on the edge and let out a deep sigh, finally allowing himself to rest after all the recent chaos.

"Ah... finally, a moment of peace..." Kael murmured, before noticing a System message appearing before him.

[You still have 7 Rank E souls to absorb]

[You still have 1 Rank C soul to absorb]

"The Rank E souls must be from the bandits I killed in the forest... Wow, I didn't even realize there were seven of them..." Kael thought as he read the message. "And this Rank C soul must be from the Queen Spider I killed before meeting Umbra."
