’I see... it is somewhat similar to the one in the Three Domains,’ Orion thought as he focused his attention on his talent. He noticed there was no curse associated with this talent, which shocked him. He hadn’t expected that the talents awakened in this world would have no curses.
’This is good! Now let’s see my talent,’ Orion thought excitedly as he checked his talent.
[Talent: Omni-Focus (G) - The host can move stat points from one stat to another completely for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds.]
Orion was surprised. This was a good talent—far better than he had expected for a G-rank. It surpassed his initial low expectations, but a sense of frustration crept in.
He couldn’t help but wonder about the talent’s true potential if it had been of a higher rank. The thought gnawed at him, knowing that such a powerful ability was limited by the G-rank awakening, ultimately wasting its full potential.
Orion sighed at his bad luck.
’Let’s try it out and see how it works,’ he thought, moving all the stat points from Agility to Strength in his mind.

[Strength: 10]
[Agility: 0]
{Time - 30 seconds}

The moment he did that, a notification appeared in his vision. Not only that, but he felt his strength suddenly double. He felt much stronger than he had been just moments ago.
’This is good! But the countdown...’
{Time - 20 seconds}
Orion sighed again as he watched the countdown. He could only use his talent for 30 seconds before it needed a 30-second cooldown.
’That explains why there aren’t any curses associated with talents here,’ he thought as he walked beside Jake.
"Did you check your status?" Jake asked.
Orion nodded and said, "I did, and I have 5 stat points in each. How about you?"
"Follow me closely," Jake said as he moved through the crowd. Orion followed behind.
Not long after, they reached a wide building.
"This is the North Post of Citrix City," Jake said before entering. The building was open to everyone.
Orion stepped inside and immediately understood its purpose. There were many injured people lying around and others wearing armor, ready for battle.
"Jake, you’re finally here," an old man approached them.
"How have you been, Uncle Chuck?" Jake asked with a smile. Experience exclusive tales on novelhall.Côm
"Haha, I’m fine," Chuck replied with a laugh, then turned to Orion. "This must be Orion, right?"
"He is," Jake confirmed before getting to the point. "Uncle Chuck, we want to go outside to hunt some monsters and test our talents. Can you help us?"
Uncle Chuck frowned, contemplating for a moment before replying, "Fine. I’m free for now anyway. I might as well help you two." He added, "Wait for me at the gate."
Chuck left, and Jake said, "Let’s go," as they exited the building. Orion followed, realizing Jake had many connections in the city. He understood it had something to do with the soul of the Jake in this simulation, not the one from the Three Domains inhabiting Jake’s body.
Soon after, they stood in front of a normal-sized gate in the wall with other people waiting to go outside and hunt monsters.
Some time later, Chuck returned with several men clad in armor and armed.
"Take these swords, both of you," Chuck handed them swords. "You’ll need them."
Orion didn’t hesitate and accepted the sword, as did Jake.
"The gate will open in a few minutes. Be ready," Chuck said solemnly.
Orion and Jake nodded, waiting for the gate to open.
