Ivana stood before Broken, holding a wooden basket tightly in her hands. A shield was strapped to her back, and a sword was sheathed at her side.
"I brought this food for you," she said with a warm smile.
Despite her efforts, Broken couldn't take his eyes off her, marveling at the transformation. She looked like a genuine warrior now. Hadn't she been just a chef before? Or had she always had a combat class but chosen not to reveal it? Her level was clearly above 200! One striking difference was her name, now glowing purple, signifying her status as a Special NPC. He distinctly remembered her as a Common NPC!
Ivana noticed his silent contemplation and felt a twinge of confusion, wondering if he had grown tired of her cooking.
"Broken, have you grown tired of my food? I can cook something different for you," she said softly, pulling back her wooden basket.
"No," Broken answered immediately, shaking his head to clear his thoughts.
I’ll be releasing 10 chapters in one day, so stay tune!
