But the moment Kaelen's hand touched the Magic Pandora, time stuttered.
It wasn't just a feeling—the entire world seemed to halt for a split second, as though existence itself took a sharp breath. The moment his palm connected with the otherworldly cube, a shockwave of soft, deep resonance pulsed out in every direction—inaudible to normal ears, but undeniable to those attuned to the pulse of reality.
And then—
"MISSION COMPLETE."
The system's voice didn't echo in his head—it pierced through his soul.
