As the system upgrade fully integrated, Elian's interface refined itself further. A new [Status Panel] appeared, displaying his attributes in numerical form.
[Elian Drayven – Level 5]
Strength: 7 → 9 (+2)
Agility: 6 → 7 (+1)
Stamina: 6 → 7 (+1)

Charisma: 5
[Skill Tab]

Newly Unlocked Skill: Inspect
A secondary tab for [EXP & Level Progress] also materialized, displaying:
EXP: 150/500 (Next Level: 6)
Each level-up would now reward 5 Attribute Points and 5 Skill Points, ensuring a steady progression.
Elian studied the numbers, his red eyes flickering with calculation. The numbers weren't just metrics; they were a tangible measurement of his potential. With each battle, he could increase these values, fine-tuning his strengths and minimizing weaknesses.
Eve's voice rang out, calm yet analytical.
"Your growth is becoming measurable. With this, you can systematically shape your strengths, ensuring balance or favoring a specific path."
Elian smirked slightly. Balance? No, he would optimize his power where it mattered most. And with each victory, the world would unknowingly contribute to his ascent.
With this foundation set, he prepared for the next day—knowing that his system was no longer just a hidden gift but a weapon he could sharpen at will.
