Ka'z's face immediately twisted with excitement as he hopped to his feet, a wide grin spreading across his face. His golden eyes practically lit up as he stared at the System notification.
Six months.
It had taken six months of construction, organization, farming, training and countless hours of work from everyone in Vaal'kor to finally reach this point. They had started with nothing more than a cave, a few dozen kobolds and now the System itself had recognized their progress.
However, Ka'z's smile lasted only a moment.
His eyes stopped on the final notification, and his expression slowly changed from excitement to confusion.
"What?" Ka'z muttered, genuine shock entering his voice.
He stared at the words again as though looking at them from a different angle would somehow make them less absurd.
