Shinon lay in his bed, his eyes fixed on the glowing screen before him. The soft light illuminated the room, casting a faint blue hue across his features. His gaze was locked on his status page, where his name and details were displayed in crisp digital letters.
[Name: Shinon Flintlock
Race: Human
Class: Shadowsmith
Talent: Mastersmith (lvl 2)
Level: 29]
As he scanned the page, his eyes lingered on the line that held his level. Level 29. It seemed like an eternity since he had progressed, his journey towards level 100 feeling stagnant and unyielding.
He had faced countless challenges, overcome dangerous adversaries, and honed his skills, yet the next step to advance remained unreachable.
A sigh escaped Shinon's lips as he recalled the words of the enigmatic Widow, the Bandit King, who had teased him with promises of answers once he reached level 100.
