Cosmos

That morning.

Gilan rose early.

After washing up, he left the master bedroom, climbed the stairs, and headed straight for the attic alchemy room.

After entering the attic, Gilan locked the door behind him, removed his robe, walked to the window, and pushed it open. Facing the morning light and breeze outside, he sat cross-legged and meditated.

He wore only a pair of loose silk trousers, his upper body bare. His muscles were sharply defined, and his perfectly proportioned skin gleamed with oil, clearly having been coated in "Lava Balm" to aid his cultivation.

"Agility: 38."

"Endurance: 40."

"Gnosis: 23."

"Spirituality: 33."

"Mind: 50 (Mortal Threshold)."

"Remaining Mystery Points: 217."

Gilan looked at his Panel and let out a long breath.

Of course, Gilan could directly spend Mystery Points to achieve this goal in one go, but he did not do so.

For one thing, he had added 7 points of Endurance during the previous crisis, causing the cost of using "Attribute Enhancement" again to become enormous. At present, raising any attribute by 1 point cost well over
