'With this round won, I can upgrade my membership tier. This, plus the earnings from this match and the betting shops, will help me acquire more materials to upgrade the Bear Soul. And the Frost Dragon might need some treasures too.'
Hex made a mental list of the things he would need. There was a week before the next round, filled with festivities and events declaring the upcoming matches. He would use the Oldest Store to enhance himself and his soul, feed the Dragon, and spend time in the library.
