The next two days passed in a blur of recovery.
Lucas spent most of it in meditation, following the system's guidance to fully stabilize his core.
The process was tedious but it was necessary. If he rushed it, it could cause permanent damage.
[Core stability at 89%. 100% stabilization projected for tomorrow morning.]
He also took the time to properly examine his new skills.
[Skill: Danger Sense (Basic)]
[Effect: Provides intuitive warning of incoming threats. Effectiveness depends on threat level and user's perception stat.]
[Skill: Soul Sword]
[Effect: Manifest a blade formed from compressed soul energy. Strength scales with user's Intelligence stat. Can damage incorporeal entities.]
Both would be incredibly useful, especially Danger Sense. If he'd had that during the fight with Veronica, he might have avoided some of her attacks.
The Soul Sword was more interesting. Lucas spent an hour just examining it, getting used to its weight and balance.
