Zain stood in the empty hall.
The last of the corpses had already been absorbed by his system.
He looked down at the glowing screen in front of him, reading his current Hack Points balance.
[Hack Points: 10,225,180]
He crossed his arms, deep in thought.
"Let's see…," he said.
He now had two active abilities and two passive traits.
That was decent, but he needed more to reach the next level.
He took a deep breath.
"System," he called out.
"How much does it cost to add one more trait or one more ability?"
A bright light flickered on the screen.
