Novice Knight [EXP: 500/500]
Adam stared at the number.
He had finally gained enough experience to advance to the next rank.
Much faster than he had imagined.
The pain continued to course through his body as he lay prostrate in bed, unable to even sit up without feeling his muscles tear again. He had suffered. And he was still paying the price.
But it had been worth it.
A crooked smile, distorted by pain, spread across his lips.
He had prevented the city from being destroyed. He had made plans, executed them under pressure... and survived.
It wasn't luck.
It was a choice.
He let out a slow sigh, the smile still on his face. For the first time since the battle, he felt something akin to satisfaction.
He had won.
Not just experience.
He had won time. Future.
His gaze drifted down to the new notification windows floating in front of him.
The rewards awaited him.
