[You have touched the Power of the Origin of Desire. Because your Origin exceeds 30, you have not been corrupted by the Power of the Origin of Desire. Evaluation: You only have ten seconds... Special Reward: Survival Points +10, Resilience Level +2, Spirit Level +2.]
Wei'en quickly snatched his hand back. His heart was pounding violently, and an unnatural flush crept across his face, like a rush of blood to the head.
'Power of the Origin of Desire?'
