The second stage began the moment Alex finished reading about [Threads of Fate].
A new clone appeared, identical to Kaelios in every way.
It stood motionless at first, its gaze cold and calculating.
Alex could already tell this one was different.
The intensity it radiated was sharper, and its presence felt more dangerous.
This was not going to be simple.
"Alright," Alex muttered, flexing his claws. "Let's see what [Threads of Fate] can do."
He focused, willing the skill to activate.
Ding!
[You do not have enough Destiny Points.]
Alex froze mid-step. "What?"
He quickly reopened his panel, scanning the ability description again.
At the very bottom, the glaring text confirmed what he'd missed earlier:
[Consumes 20 Destiny Points; no cooldown.]
"Destiny Points?" Alex repeated, narrowly dodging the clone's opening attack.
