"Yes… initiate," I had already decided.
The system responded instantly.
[Initiating Talent Detection…]
[Scanning Host…]
The air around me shifted.
At first, it was subtle, a faint warmth brushing against my skin, but within seconds it intensified, a golden glow forming around my body, rising from the ground like a slow-burning flame.
The glow thickened, wrapping around my body, and then it went further. I felt it reach inward toward my soul.
For a brief moment, everything else faded, replaced by a strange clarity, as if something was observing every part of me at once. It didn't hurt. But it wasn't comfortable either.
It passed through me like a current, scanning, measuring, judging.
[Identifying Talent…]
The glow pulsed once then vanished.
A new notification appeared.
[Talent Acquired]
