624 Birthday and Anniversary (Part 2)

"Or maybe it was just the result of a failed experiment. The really important question is: do you really want to spend your birthday working or do you have anything in mind?" Lith asked.

"I actually do." Solus took a small package from a secret compartment in the walls.

"Happy anniversary, Lith."

He destroyed the wrapping paper, revealing a cylindrical ring made of an alloy of gold and Orichalcum, with a blue mana gem set in the middle of it.

"The cloaking ring! That's why you didn't rush me making one. Does it have any special abilities?" Lith's Orichalcum armors had proven to be better than he had planned. The adamant was able to enhance a pseudo core in unexpected ways.

"Not that I'm aware of." Solus said.

Lith imprinted the ring before slipping it on his right forefinger.

"How does my mana core look like now?"

"Red, and your life force appears to be at human levels."
