"The rewards are fresh," Naval commented, eyes scanning the contents of a stone tablet as a pedestal opened beside her.
Leon stepped forward and picked up a violet-hued stone, its surface etched with intricate runes that pulsed like a living heartbeat.
"Skill Rank-Up Stone," he muttered. "It can raise any skill by one tier... from Epic to Unique, Unique to Legendary."
"That's rare," Roselia said, brushing her hair back as she picked one up herself. "Could take years to earn something like this normally."
Millim was already grinning, her eyes practically sparkling. "Jackpot~!"
