Max's eyes gleamed with interest. "What opportunity?"
The spirit chuckled, but there was a knowing edge to its amusement. "Sadly… I 'can't' tell you."
Max's expression darkened slightly. "Why not?"
The spirit's grin widened. "Because your strength is too weak to even 'participate' in that opportunity."
Max clenched his jaw slightly, but before he could speak, the spirit continued.
"When you reach the peak of Seeker Rank, return to the seventh floor," it said. "Only then will I reveal what awaits you. Until that day… strive to become stronger."
Max exhaled slowly.
Something even beyond an inheritance. Something so significant that the spirit itself wouldn't even disclose it to him at his current level.
It only reaffirmed what he already knew—
'Strength is everything. I guess I have no choice but to wait…' he thought, though the idea of being kept in the dark bothered him.
