Sparks in the Darkness

With renewed focus, Zachary turned his attention to the Random Technique Upgrade Token. This was the final piece of the puzzle, the last step in his planned transformation for the day.

Summoning the coin-like token, he watched it appear in his hand, glowing with an otherworldly light. He knew that using this token would randomly upgrade one of his techniques, potentially giving him an edge that most players could only dream of.

Taking a deep breath, he activated the token. The light it exuded intensified, enveloping him in a warm glow. A surge of energy coursed through his body, targeting his neural pathways and muscle memory. His mind buzzed with new information, and blurry images flashed with his every thought as one of his core techniques was refined.

The process lasted only a few moments, but Zachary felt a profound change when it was finally over. He accessed the system interface to see which technique had been upgraded.
