[Ding! You accepted the hidden quest.]
[You opened the Credit Limit system. 160,000 credits have been added to your limit.]
[You unlocked the Unique Weapons category. Everything except the Unique Items section remains locked.]
[Platinum-grade Purification Stone purchased. 50,000 credits have been deducted from the credit limit.]
[The Purification Stone has been sent to the inventory.]
[Your remaining credit limit is 110,000 credits.]
Kiara let out a long breath, the kind that escaped only after a risky bargain had been sealed and the ink had dried.
The notifications hovered before her like merchants counting coins one by one on a wooden table.
One hundred and sixty thousand credits.

It was invisible, yet she could almost feel it pressing against her shoulders, like a velvet cloak embroidered with gold and stitched with debt.
At the same time, a platinum-grade item now rested in her inventory.
The trade was complete.
