Ethan leaned against the clubhouse wall, pulling out his phone.
"Let's see how much have I improved," he muttered excitedly.
He knew with every mission completed, he was a step nearer to his main goal of forming the Ascendant Core.
The Status Panel glowed to life, its familiar interface flickering across the screen.

"Whoa... I'm actually almost there," Ethan murmured, staring at the numbers as if sheer willpower could nudge them to 100.
He sighed, pocketing the phone. "I have too many Ascension Points but I can't use it yet. That's... a shame."
He believed Level 10 was the golden ticket for unlocking the next items in the system's shop.
The problem? He was running out of missions that he could complete earlier to level up or receive free points as rewards.
