[Congratulations, host, for making it into the Advanced Mage rank!]
The voice of the system rang clearly in his mind.
Elion was on one knee in the training room, breathing heavily. His chest rose and fell fast, and sweat dripped down his face. His whole body ached, and his mana still felt unstable inside him, like it had just been forced into a tighter space.
"Thank you, system," he said with a small smile.
Even though the pain was still there, he was grinning like a madman. The breakthrough had not been easy. His muscles had tightened, his bones had felt like they were cracking, and his mana core had expanded and compressed painfully.
But he had done it.
Advanced Mage.
That single step meant a big jump in power and control. His mana felt deeper now, and heavier, but also smoother when it moved through his body. Like, there was less resistance.
[As a gift for the progress the host has made, the system has unlocked two additional functionalities!]
