A System
The following morning, Theo sat in contemplative silence, the whispers of fate still echoing faintly in his mind from his conversation with the goddess. "Power, huh?" he murmured to himself, the weight of his destiny settling heavily upon him.
Curiosity piqued, he decided to test the boundaries of his newfound abilities. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Status!"
To his amazement, a transparent window appeared before him, displaying a progress bar as if it were installing something on a computer.
"Oh, so it's like a game," he chuckled to himself. The bar began to fill, numbers ticking upwards from 1 to 24%.
As the percentage grew, he felt a strange sensation, like a warm embrace wrapping around him, filling him with a sense of power and purpose. The numbers continued to climb, reaching 50%, and he felt a thrill of excitement at the potential within him.
