As the System finishes explaining the intricacies of the skill acquisition to Kai, he can't help but feel a mix of excitement and curiosity.
With lingering questions, he turns to the System and asks, "Hey, just one last question."
"Hm? Ask?" the System replies.
Kai inquires, "Can this skill get back to its original form?"
The System replies, "Yeah, it's possible, but I can't guarantee it. 'Third Eye' was forcefully reduced and transformed due to your 'Luck' stat. There's a chance it might return to its original form, but it's uncertain. Don't worry about it for now, though."
Kai nods and says, "Alright, let's leave it at that then."
He then turns his attention to the Attribute Window and calls it up.
Calling for the Attribute Window, a new window appears before Kai with detailed information.

Kai astonished to see the improvements in the Attribute Window. It now displays more details than before, making it easier for him to assess his progress.
As he examines the window, he notices a new category: "Nature."
Intrigued, he asks the System, "Hey! You really made some changes to the window. But, what is this detail as Nature? Is there any use of that?"
The System explains, "Oh, that. It shows your internal balance between good and evil tendencies. Depending on the choices you make in the future, your actions may align with either the forces of good or evil, influencing the percentage on that side.
So, be mindful of your actions, as they not only affect the world around you but also shape your own character."
"Okay," Kai replies, now understanding the significance of the "Nature" attribute.
Continuing his exploration, Kai clicks on the new skill he gained - "Soul Analyze." A window appears with its description.
[Skill: "Soul Analyze"] (Lv2)
[Rank: A]
[Proficiency 0.0%]
[Description: "Soul Analyze," a unique and powerful skill that enables one to peer into the essence of other individuals and read their statistics. Through this, you can access a person's strengths and weaknesses.]
"Woah! Amazing! It's still a powerful skill even after degrading by one level," Kai thinks, impressed by the capabilities of his new skill.
With additional stat points in hand, Kai decides to invest 10 points in the "Luck" attribute, leaving the remaining 20 for future use based on the situation.
"All right, invest 10 points into Luck," Kai states.
Instantly, notifications appear before him:
[Luck has increased by 10]
[Luck is now at 32]
Satisfied with his decision, Kai stretches his arms upward and says, "Okay, now that all the checking up is done, let's see... What was I doing again?"
Kai scans his surroundings, trying to recollect his purpose. He notices the bookshelves and suddenly realizes, "Ah! I was in the Treasury, selecting the technique! How much time did I spend?"
Hastily, he asks the System, "Hey, System, do you know what time it is right now?"
A window appears showing: [11:23 am]
"Let's see if I remember correctly, we entered the Treasury at 11:00 am, and the time limit was 30 minutes... So..."
Kai calculates in a hurry. "What!?? I have only got 7 minutes left to find the technique?"
With time slipping away, Kai feels the pressure mounting. He rushes to explore the bookshelves, determined to find the perfect technique before time runs out.
