Chapter 9: System Upgrades and Surprises
Morning came quietly.
A soft breeze whispered through the open window, and golden sunlight spilled across the room. It landed directly on Sky's face, warming his skin. He stirred slowly, blinking at the brightness.
Beside him, Serena slept peacefully. Her silver hair lay scattered across the pillow, one hand still resting on his chest. Her breathing was light and steady. The memory of the night before returned in flashes—intense, unforgettable.
Then came the system.

Sky stared at the glowing panel, then glanced down at Serena still sleeping beside him. "…That was worth more than I thought."
---
He sat up carefully, pulled up the System Shop, and reviewed the available items:
---
[System Shop – Beginner Tier]
Long Sword [E-Rank] – 900 SP
Skill: Inventory (Passive) – 1,000 SP
Strength Enhancement Pill – 100 SP

Sky grinned. "Yeah, I'm buying all of that."
He tapped through the purchase options without hesitation.
> [Purchased: Long Sword – 900 SP]
[Purchased: Skill – Inventory – 1,000 SP]
[Purchased: Strength Enhancement Pill – 100 SP]

Then he opened the System Trade tab.
> [Sell: F-Rank Sword – 10 SP]
[Trade Rate: 1 SP = 1 Bronze Coin]
He sold the old weapon. It vanished from his inventory like trash disappearing into a void.
> +10 SP Gained.
Not much—but clean inventory, better gear, and a storage skill made it worth it.
"Skills—Inventory," he said aloud.
A smaller panel opened beside his main screen.

Sky slipped the sword and pill inside and closed the window.
He looked over at Serena again. Her ring glinted faintly in the morning light—he hadn't even taken it off her finger after gifting it last night.
Everything was changing fast.
Level 6.
Stage 2 Bloodline.
Inventory unlocked.
New stats. New power.
And someone by his side.
"…Let's see how far this system can take me."
---
Sky stretched his arms behind his head, still feeling the lingering energy from the night before. But one thing bugged him.
"Hey, System," he asked, eyes narrowing at the floating status panel. "Why did I only absorb 2% of her Yin essence?"
> System:
Serena's essence far exceeds your current vessel capacity. Absorbing any more would have caused your body to rupture.
Recommendation: Evolve your bloodline further before engaging high-tier partners.
Sky smirked. "So I nearly died from one night? Figures."
Serena stirred beside him. Her silver hair caught the morning light, her lashes fluttering open slowly. For a moment, she just looked at him—soft, searching—then leaned in and pressed a slow kiss to his lips.
"Morning… young master."siad serena as she slowly got up from the bed
She pulled the sheets back and stood, her body silhouetted in the light. Despite her curves—her full chest, wide hips, and toned figure—there was a natural elegance to how she moved. She didn't rush, didn't hide. She just gathered her scattered clothes with calm grace.
"I'll make breakfast. You rest for a bit." she said she she was picking up clothes on the ground
---
She returned a few minutes later, dressed neatly and carrying two plates of food. Sky met her in the dining room and took his seat.
"Here, young master. Enjoy," Serena said with a bright smile as she placed the plate in front of him.
"Thank you, Serena," Sky replied, taking a bite of the perfectly cooked egg.
He chewed in silence, his mind wandering as he stared out the window. The morning sun lit the village gently, casting soft shadows over the cobbled streets.
This is Toma Village… he thought. Since we're leaving in three days, I should explore and gather whatever supplies I need.
Serena stood and gathered the plates, walking toward the kitchen. As she disappeared behind the doorway, her voice floated back to him.
"Master Sky, would you mind helping me open the shop?"
Sky rose from his chair without complaint. Soon he was outside, lifting crates filled with potions and elixirs, placing them carefully along the shop's front counter. The display came together quickly—organized, clean, and professional.
As he adjusted the last row of glowing red vials, Serena stepped beside him and gave him a warm smile.
"Thank you," she said sweetly, her voice soft with appreciation.
Sky gave a small nod, then turned toward the village path. Without another word, he stepped out of the little house and made his way toward the market, ready to explore.
