After going through the system prompt and the two random cards that appeared in my hand, I was greatly excited to learn that my Astral Hack skill not only allowed my materialized subjects to gain full loyalty, but also their past memory, class, and skills. Thanks to this, I no longer had to be worried about Sova freeloading and could get her to work directly forcing her to earn her keep. 

Along with the successful recruitment of Sova, I was happy to have completed two quests at once and have made another achievement. The reward cards especially made me excited. The 0-grade random class and dungeon cards seemed to be very rare among the reward cards. 

I turned to look at the Astral beacon that had been glowing rhythmically ever since the wandering soul Sova Morekova vanished from before me. 

Soon a humanoid figure walked out of the light beam, it was Sova Morekova. She was 6ft 2 inches tall with a sinewy but curvy athletic build dressed in a dark blue linen blouse and a light read ankle long linen skirt. She had an angular face with flawless pale skin, piercing blue eyes, and a strong jawline. She had strong and long golden hair flowing freely. Despite her fierce appearance and formidable exterior, her face harbored warmth and kindness, giving me a strange sense of comfort.

Spotting me, Sova Morekova headed straight to me. From afar I viewed her status:
