CH.37 First kill

Alen spent several days poring over the story and gathering information about the ruins before he felt ready to leave. But before he set out, he knew he had to make a stop at a particular magic shop. As he entered, he was taken aback by the chaos that greeted him: broken artifacts, toppled scrolls, and a frail old man frantically casting spells.

"What's happening?" Alen asked as he approached the old man.

"Great timing, young fellow. It's your artifact. It's ready, but it's causing quite a ruckus in my shop," the old man said, gesturing to a silver rope that was emitting intoxicating energy.

As soon as the two energies collided, Alen and the rope froze in place, the rope hovering in mid-air. Suddenly, the rope charged at Alen and wrapped itself tightly around his hand.

"[Artifact: is trying to establish a connection] [Allow connection? Y/N]," the message read.
