Flickering sunlight filtered through the trees as the group walked, and the System's voice slid into Terrence's mind.
[Seems like she's a natural at helping people.]
Terrence glanced back.
Treasure was kneeling beside one of the rescued women, gently helping her adjust the Epic-Grade tunic he'd given her. The sight low-key softened him. She moved from person to person. Her voice was soft, and her patient hands were making sure everyone had water, clothes, and the mountain of tacos he'd handed out like an overpowered DoorDash driver.
Thirty-two women.
Three men.
All of them were half-starved, eyes hollow but slowly lighting up at the food and warmth.
Treasure wasn't panicking, wasn't disgusted, wasn't distant.
She was present.
Real.
Sweet.
Kind.
The exact opposite of how one would think a regular Goblin would act.
Her pink eyes caught his.
She waved with a bright, shy smile. Her cheeks tinted just enough to send a small shock through him.
Terrence gave her a nod and turned away before he accidentally smiled too hard.
'Yeah she's a natural at it. I can tell she's real sweet..unlike them other ugly ass Shrek clones I erased.'
[She likes you too so that's a plus. Where are you heading? Doesn't look like toward the village.]
'Picking up Eiselle on my way there. I plan on going straight to Xyani after we leave.'
[Smart plan. Here's your rewards you've earned.]
A cascade of golden interfaces exploded across his vision.

Terrence stared at the numbers and felt something in his chest almost crack open.
If he wasn't surrounded by thirty-five traumatized people and one adorable goblin girl, he absolutely would've screamed "Goddamn!" loud enough to the heavens itself.
'So I'm a boundless billionaire with hella equipment and—'
[A Fucking Lot of Stat Points..cool right?]
[To explain, because you broke the max-level cap, you're technically beyond quantifiable measurement now. Congratulations, you can level up endlessly.]
Terrence slightly smirked.
'Sounds like a novel I'd read before..speaking of that, I want to see if I can get a class and become a new race.'
[Was waiting to see when you'd ask for that. Looks like you're at your destination, so we can hold that off. In the meantime, I'll distribute your Stat Points evenly. It'll take a minute.]
Terrence stepped toward the familiar waterfall.
"I'll be back," he told the group. "Wait here for now. It'll only take a minute."
Treasure nodded with a smile full of trust that made something warm stir in his chest.
He leapt up the rocks effortlessly and slipped behind the waterfall.
"Eis?" he called softly. "You awake yet?"
He pushed aside the makeshift leaf curtain.
His eyes widened.
Eiselle sat upright, staring at her glowing gold and purple hands like she was hypnotized. Her body was still naked from earlier, skin haloed by the soft shimmer.
And she..
looked different.
Half her hair had turned jet-black.
Her normally gold eyes were now heterochromatic: one gold, one red glowing like fire.
"Eiselle?"
Her name snapped her out of the trance.
The red eye slowly shifted back to gold. Her hair faded into a soft black tint instead of a full split. The glow dissolved from her fingers.
"Looks like I've finally awakened my talent T!" Eiselle yelled, launching herself at him with a brilliant smile.
She hugged him tight.
Her still-naked body pressed fully against him. Her big soft breasts flattened against his chest, her thick ass shifting against his hips with every breath.
Terrence felt his soul attempt to leave his body.
'Don't you think about it..stay down!' he told himself.
"Uh..yeah! I'm extremely happy to hear that Eis!" he managed, returning the hug carefully. "A lot happened while you were sleeping. But before that, here's some clothes."
He unequipped an Epic-Grade clothing set and handed it to her.
Her ears drooped.
"What..am I not attractive like this?"
The hurt in her voice damn near killed him.
If circumstances were different, he absolutely would've proven otherwise six different ways.
"Trust me, the way you're looking right now… I don't want to lose control, Eis. There are others waiting for us."
She raised an eyebrow.
"Others? What do you mea—"
"It's a long story. We don't have much time, so I'll explain on the way."
She stepped closer, eyes smoldering.
"Who said that it will take long T? All I need is a couple of minutes..the waterfall will block out the noise I promise~"
She lifted her breasts slightly..tempting, sultry, intentional.
[And the winner is…]
Terrence inhaled sharply.
"Very very tempting..but we have to go, Eis."
Her devastated expression almost made him fold, but he forced himself to step out of the tent.
[Terrence Danbrose! I'm shocked you actually won that.]
'What can I say? I'm a man of focus, commitment and full balls.'
