As Raj snapped out of lingering shock from his strange vision, he was immediately hit by a foul stench that made him wrinkle his nose in disgust.
Glancing down, he realized his body was covered in a sticky, black residue it was a result of the divine fruit purging impurities within him. Without wasting a moment, he rushed toward the bath eager to cleanse himself.
The warm water was soothing against his skin, washing away the grime and leaving him feeling revitalized. Emerging from the bath, Raj couldn't help but notice how his body had changed. His muscles, once subtly defined, were now more pronounced, ripping with newfound strength. His skin had a radiant glow, and he felt lighter, faster, and more powerful.
Standing in front of the mirror, he admired the sculpted lines of his physique. Each muscle seemed perfectly honed. A small smirk crossed his lips as this was no ordinary workout result. The divine fruit had done its work.
After dressing in fresh clothes, Raj stood tall and issued a command: "Prana, Open my personal interface."
Instantly, a holographic screen materialized before him, displaying his personal stats and status. The interface glowed with vibrant energy, reflecting his newly enhanced attributes. Raj's eyes scanned the display, eager to see just how much he had grown after consuming the divine fruit.

As Raj examined his status panel, he felt a slight wave of confusion. His attributes had increased, even though he hadn't allocated the points from consuming the divine fruit. Upon a second look, he noticed something unexpected as his bloodline had increased by 1%.
Though he wasn't fully aware of the significance of this, Raj knew it had to be something important. He made a mental note to ask his parents about it. This is one of the advantages of having high-ranking parents was that they would likely have the answers to such mysteries.
In addition to bloodline, there were other noticeable changes. His body tempering and mental state had improved. Raj could feel a difference his physical capabilities but also in his clarity of thought.
Taking a deep breath, Raj started distributing his newly acquired attributes, just as he had done in the past, spreading them evenly across all categories. He remembered the day he had first awakened his talent and the confusion that had followed. No matter how much he trained or what methods he tried, his base attributes had refused to change. All the extra points had gone into a pool of free attributes, and no one not even his teacher could understand why his stats stayed the same when measured.
At that time, many had believed Raj was crippled in some way. His parents had tried various methods to keep his spirits up. But one day, purely by chance, Raj had discovered the solution: by randomly pressing the plus sign in his attributes column had caused his stats to finally shift. From then on he could allocate his points freely, though he had kept this a closely guarded secret.
Snapping out of his memories, Raj turned his attention back to his updated status panel. His attributes were now fully distributed, balanced as usual. He checked the panel thoroughly, wanting to make sure everything was in place before closing the interface.

Raj descended the stairs, his mind swirling with thoughts about the rift. He was determined to find out more—especially what he should take with him and how to properly prepare for such a monumental event.
