After cleaning up the scene,
Brian sat in the driver's seat, somewhat speechlessly looking at the moon overhead.
Killing the enemy didn't consume any Gift Energy, but picking up the corpses used up twenty-eight units of it; what a loss.
Now, he only had twenty-six units of Gift Energy reserves left.
Fortunately, there was the small monster's Gift to replenish it.
Brian gathered his thoughts and chose to receive Obsession Two's reward, Gift One: sixty units of Gift Energy.
A warm surge flowed through his body, restoring his sense of security.
There was no helping it. Obsession Two, with no explanation of the talent, and the most valuable-sounding talent 'Cannibalism' seemed creepy. Brian really did not know what to choose.
Then came the second obsession.
This was also simple to complete.
The small monster's father was likely the owner of the garden estate known as Alice's Secret Realm.
Brian was also very curious about how the small monster came to be.
