BLOOD CHAINS!
With no other options left, Alex did what he did best: adapt.
In an instant, he forged a new ability from his [Blood Arts], something born purely out of desperation and sheer force of will.
Ding!
A translucent panel flickered into existence before him, even as time seemed to slow.
[Your mastery of "Blood Arts" has increased from "Average" to "Very High"!]
Alex's eyes widened.
A sudden leap like that only meant one thing: [Blood Chains] was incredibly powerful.
This reassured him.
"Very High" was the final level before "Mastered," the pinnacle of any [Art].
That meant he was just one step away from fully unlocking the potential of his [Blood Arts] before the [Chosen Games] began.
And then, another notification appeared beneath the first.
[Blood Arts Perk #6: Blood Chains]
[Effect: Uses a massive amount of blood to create crimson chains capable of binding a target.]
The strength of the chains scales with the user.
There was no time to analyze it further.
