The Rewards

Still perched atop the towering branch, the group decided to reveal the rewards from their first challenge before continuing on. Casper narrowed his eyes at the glowing system window hovering in front of him and muttered, "Open reward."

In response, a shimmer rippled through the air. A silver box appeared, suspended above the branch, its surface glowing faintly under the moonlight. Slowly, the box unfolded, revealing a metallic hatchet etched with fine golden markings, pulsing with an eerie light.

Another window blinked to life beside it.

[Item: Metallic Hatchet – Weight: 2.5 tons. Unique ability: Returns to owner after being thrown.]

Casper's face twisted in disappointment. "A hatchet? Really?" With a shrug, he tossed it toward Fray. "This weapon suits you more, Sir."
