Midnight – Jule's Room
The moonlight filtered through the window, casting a silver glow across the quiet room.
Jule lay on his bed, his body still buzzing from the evolution surge of Meesh Tree and the pleasure Connection flowing through the parasite network.
His breathing was slow and steady, but his mind was sharp, immersed in the flood of new information from his expanding forest domain.
Suddenly—
[System Alert!]
> "A powerful bond connection detected nearby…"
"Unique Awakening Triggered!"
Jule's eyes snapped open.
The glowing system screen appeared above him, displaying a single name: Alena.

Alena's Awakening
In the room next to his, Alena tossed and turned, her body trembling as if caught in an unseen storm.
The bond she shared with Jule flared uncontrollably, glowing like a thread of golden fire between their souls.
> "Brother…" she whispered breathlessly in her sleep, tears forming at the corners of her eyes.
"Don't… leave me…"
Suddenly, her body arched upward, a brilliant light engulfing her entirely.
The light surged so brightly it pierced through the walls, making the entire house glow faintly.
The system voice resounded like a divine announcement:

The Moment of Revelation
Jule rushed to Alena's room just as the light faded.
He found her kneeling on the floor, her long hair glowing faintly like threads of gold, her breathing heavy but stable.
Her eyes met his — bright, warm, and full of tears.
"Brother…" Alena whispered, her voice trembling.
"I… I saw you. Your soul… your pain… your joy. It was like I was inside your very heart."
She clutched her chest, overwhelmed.
"My awakening… it told me we were meant to be one."
Jule's breath caught.
The bond connection between them pulsed visibly, a golden thread stretching between their bodies, merging into a single brilliant light.

Jule's Thoughts
Jule stared at his sister, completely stunned.
He had expected Alena to awaken eventually — but an SSS+ Rank Unique Class tied directly to his own was beyond anything he imagined.
It was almost as if fate itself had bound them together.
---
Alena's Determination
Alena stood shakily and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go.
"Brother, no matter what happens, I'll never leave your side.
Even if the whole world turns against you, I'll fight with you."
The bond thread between them pulsed brightly, almost like a heartbeat.
At that moment, Jule's system updated once more.
