Aurelain felt a subtle shift, not pain, not pleasure, but clarity. It was as if something that had always been slightly out of reach finally settled into place. He exhaled slowly and materialized the system panel before him.

At the top, clear and unmistakable, it read:
[Reincarnator System - Version 2.0]
Below the familiar sections, something new had appeared. Aurelain's eyes narrowed slightly as he focused on it.
[System Shop]
The moment he acknowledged it, a new message unfolded.
[System Update Announcement]
[The Reincarnator System has unlocked the System Shop Module]
[A standardized monetary mechanism has been established]
[System Currency: Origin Points (OP)]
[Origin Points can be obtained through Origin Fragments, Each Level Reached, major achievements, and system-recognized feats]

'The update was more substantial than I thought,' Aurelain thought. 'It says I can gain Origin Points from obtaining Origin Fragments, leveling up, and achievements. But it's still vague. What exactly counts as an achievement? Defeating a top-tier monster? Reaching a major milestone? And doesn't obtaining an Origin Fragment already mean I level up from the massive experience gained by absorbing its essence?'
He let out a quiet breath. 'I guess I'll find out when the time comes.'
He opened the shop.

Aurelain scanned every item carefully. Some were tempting. Some were dangerous. A few were clearly things he should not touch yet. But one stood out immediately.
Information.
Without information, power was blind.
He focused on the first item.
Eye of Appraisal.
After a brief moment of thought, he made his decision.

Aurelain felt his vision sharpen slightly, like a veil had been lifted from the world. A small smile formed on his face.
This was only the beginning.
