As he looked at his ring, he noticed it had grown slightly larger. But it wasn't just his ring; he also felt better. It was as if he had just woken up from a refreshing sleep, his entire body feeling full of energy, a reduced version of the sensation he had when he ate the Kraken's heart last time.
"Your body is improving rapidly; your stats increased by .01. The impressive thing is that all your physical abilities increased at the same time," Angel informed him.
"It feels great. If I hunted many of those things, I could become much stronger. Now I want to know what happened," William said.
