Red orb

'Is this what I think it is?'

Alex looked at the red orb dimly lighting up the small corner of his inventory space and didn't know what to think.

His inventory was empty before he killed the Spider beast, so he already knew what this was.

But it was difficult for him to accept that he was this lucky!

Without further hesitation, he picked up the orb and like always, it appeared in his hand. Contrary to every other soul orb he had ever seen, this one was at least 2x larger, about the size of both his fists put together. The most striking difference though was the red hue colouring his surroundings.

It was a noticeable contrast to the soft moonlight drifting in from the collapsed ceiling, but other than that, there weren't any other new aspects to this soul orb for him to investigate.

Without further adieu, Alex willed himself to absorb it, and when he did so he felt an immense shock pass through his whole body.
