Lucas stared at holographic screen and let out a deep sigh.

"Woah! hold on a second I was saving those!" yelled Lucas, before quickly shutting himself up, worried of waking his companions.

"Never mind take as much as you need," corrected Lucas.

In response to Lucas's acceptance, the holographic screen displayed a virtual map highlighting the path to the closest enchanted weapon. A series of glowing waypoints appeared, leading the way through the forest.

Quietly rising from his makeshift bedroll, Lucas carefully navigated around the slumbering figures of Adara and Titania. The soft glow of the screen illuminated his determined expression as he followed the path outlined by the system.

The night air was crisp, and the moon cast its gentle light upon the forest, creating an ethereal ambiance. As Lucas ventured deeper into the woods, the waypoints guided him with precision, each step bringing him closer to the elusive enchanted weapon.

The glowing path led him to a clearing bathed in moonlight, where an ancient stone pedestal stood tall. Atop the pedestal rested a sword adorned with intricate runes, its blade shimmering with a faint magical glow.

As Lucas approached, he could feel the hum of energy emanating from the enchanted weapon. The system prompted him with a notification:

The system's prompt hung in the air, waiting for Lucas's decision. He hesitated for a moment, pondering the implications of soul-binding with the enchanted weapon. The moonlight played on the intricate runes of the sword, creating a captivating display.

Lucas took a deep breath, his mind racing with thoughts. The dormant skills intrigued him, offering a glimpse into the potential abilities he could unlock. With a resolute nod, he made his decision.

"Yes, soul-bind this weapon," Lucas whispered, his voice carrying a mix of anticipation and determination.

As the words left his lips, a radiant glow enveloped the sword, and a surge of energy coursed through Lucas. The bond between him and the enchanted weapon was forged.

With the newly acquired sword in hand, Lucas retraced his steps, following the glowing path back to the campsite. The system had fulfilled its quest, and Lucas felt a newfound sense of purpose as he approached the slumbering figures of Adara and Titania.
