From the Shadows I saw something glimmer under the dim light, I heard it bounce as it struck the ground. Rolling it landed before my feet.
I reached down to pick it up.
The item was called the [Peculiar Gem]
Opening my menu, I read the item's «Flavor Text».
[If life is to be believed, and there is a grand spirit, then we are derivatives of that great spirit capable of great power. Of all spirits, eight million have been given authority, but we are different, spirits trapped in bindings of flesh. Our true power is sealed, and we require something to draw out that power, the power within the true name of our soul. Use to grow and resist the darkness. - Peculiar Gem]
"Thank you, I'll make good use of it."
I'm not sure why but I had the urge to thank this unseen and obvious «NPC».
