The system chimed in the back of my mind, a subtle digital pulse that reminded me I was sitting on a decent stack of SC from the On a Roll streak. It flashed a prompt, asking if I wanted to cash them in now or keep rolling the dice. Honestly? I wanted to rack up a few more Special Coins before hitting the exchange. The higher the risk, the higher the reward, and I wasn't in the mood to settle for the low-tier loot today.
I leaned back in my office chair, the leather creaking under my weight as I stared at the ceiling. I'd skimmed through my Daily and Normal Quest logs, but nothing felt worth the effort. Dealing with K's cryptic bullshit or tracking down Eleanor's deadbeat brother? Nah. Not today. I'd rather take things slow for once and just breathe.
"Evan."
Nala's voice drifted out from her private office. Her door was cracked open, a sliver of warm light spilling into the hallway. "Can you come here for a sec?"
"Sure," I called back, pushing off from my desk.
