Adam's Three Nodes

[Announcement!]

[The Bone Tyrant, Lord Varos has been defeated!]

[All Stream Hunters from the Third Floor can now freely travel to the Second Floor!]

[Floor 2 Defeated by: The Chosen Conduit.]

The golden system text hung in the air, shimmering with divine authority.

Around them, the surviving Stream Hunters erupted into cheers, their voices a cacophony of relief and triumph.

But Adam barely registered the announcement.

His attention was wholly captured by the young woman before him - Leila, her usual timid demeanor replaced by uncontainable excitement.

Dark brown hair cascaded over her shoulders in soft waves, framing a face of delicate beauty that wasn't immediately striking, but lingered in one's memory like the afterimage of a candle's glow.
