"Ah, good morning, captain. Sorry, I collapsed after the training was over."

  "It's fine. You must be tired. How'd it go?"

  "Success."

  "Good, good. Rest for a while, and we can go back to training. I can tell you're very close to Knight level."

  "Yes."

  Henry sat in a corner of the room and opened the system. He wanted to check the new blessings menu.

  Henry was very excited when he saw all of these, especially the last one. He found a "Null's Shop" option in the blessing menu, so he opened it.

  Henry was intrigued by all the wares, but he unfortunately couldn't afford that experience crystal.

  'I'll take the armor and the dragon blood.'

  Henry closed the shop. That's when he noticed the notification icon was glowing, so he opened it.

  'Oh, so this is the message I didn't manage to read before I passed out.'

  'Usually, I'd be very happy with all this new power, but what happened in that dreamworld has changed my outlook. That demon, the system called him the Incarnation of Evil. He seemed very...incomplete, as if he was only partially formed, but I couldn't even see his strike. Whoever he is, he's clearly after my life, so I must be after his too. All this new power still feels insufficient. I must grow, grow, and grow some more, so I can finally rid the world of those evil bastards.'

  That's when Captain Eve approached Henry.

  "Alright, Hellwalker. Today we spar, both at full power. I want to see what you're like now, and we aren't stopping until you become a Knight. This year's Hell Expedition is tomorrow, so we don't have time."

  "Yes, Captain."
