Kincaid reached toward something outside the communication window, then stopped.
"Your original system record is still sealed beneath the dungeon interface." He said. "I can request its release. I cannot open it without your permission now that the patron restrictions are gone."
"Request it."
A new notice appeared.
[Patron Kincaid requests permission to release archived pre-deployment system records.]
[This action will reveal information only. It will not alter Champion Max, the dungeon core, or any connected person.]
[Approve?]
Max read every line before accepting.
The Karma System appeared for the first time since his death.
The window was smaller than he remembered. Its border was plain, its text without the detailed menus he now used every day. Seeing it still brought back the shabby apartment where he had waited alone for his heart to stop.
[Max Clarkson]
[Final Positive Karma: 341,931.]
[Tier: S(-)]
[Reincarnation reward prepared.]
The promised life followed.
