August pulled back as his eyes widened in disbelief.


    The notification was vibrantly stationed before him waiting for him to make a decision. His heart couldn''t help but race in excitement.


    The ability to bring items from the game into the real world was unprecedented. It opened up possibilities he hadn''t even considered.


    He sat on his bed, contemting the choice before him. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, he finally made up his mind.


    "Yes," he whispered, his voice barely audible.


    The system disyed a progress barbeled...


    <[ Extraction Process ]>


    <[ ======              ]>


    August watched in fascination as the bar slowly filled. After about a minute, the process waspleted, and to his astonishment, the Basic Dagger materialized before him, solid and real.


    The dagger was a simple but elegant weapon. The de was about eight inches long, made of polished steel, with a sharp, tapered edge that gleamed in the light.


    The hilt was wrapped in ck leather, providing a firm andfortable grip. Despite its simplicity, the dagger exuded a sense of lethal efficiency.


    He picked up the dagger, feeling its weight in his hand. It was exactly as it appeared in the game, from the design to the texture of the handle.


    To test its sharpness, he reached for a piece of paper on his desk. With a swift motion, he sliced through the paper. The de had cut through cleanly and effortlessly.


    August''s eyes widened in amazement.


    He moved to the yard and picked up a small twig from a housent to try again.


    The dagger sliced through it as if it were nothing. Even a thick piece of cardboard posed no resistance; the de cut through with a smooth, precise motion.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    Thoughts raced through August''s mind as he realized the full extent of his new ability. He could extract game items into reality without the necessary specifications and requirements typically needed in the game.


    August''s mind buzzed with possibilities. He could extract powerful weapons, healing potions, and various items that could give him an edge both in and out of the game.


    The potential applications were endless, but so were the risks. He needed to be cautious and deliberate about how he used this newfound power.


    As he ced the dagger on his bed, he couldn''t help but think about the future. This ability could change everything for him and Sophia.


    It could provide the means to protect themselves and improve their lives. However, it also meant that he needed to be more vignt than ever. The world was bing increasingly dangerous, and there were others who would go to great lengths to obtain such power.


    For now, he decided to keep this discovery to himself. He needed time to explore the limits of his ability and understand how to control it effectively.


    As the sun set outside, casting a warm glow through the window, August sat on his bed, deep in thought. The Basic Daggery beside him, a tangible proof of his newfound ability to extract items from the game into reality.


    He began to make ns, considering the possibilities.


    The potential business opportunities were endless. He could sell rare items, provide services based on game mechanics, or even start a new venture entirely based on the extraction ability.


    However, he knew that he still didn''t understand the limitations and properties of this power well enough. He needed to perform experiments to properly grasp its full potential.


    Determined to uncover more, he decided that the first step was to log back into the game. He needed to understand this ability better, and the best way to do that was to continue his journey in Enders Light. It was time to finally move beyond the Vige of Unhidden Mist.


    He walked over to the VR pod and climbed inside. cing the helmet on his head, he took a deep breath and initiated the login sequence.


    << "Wee back, August Clementine. Initializing system..." >>


    The soft, mechanical voice greeted him as the pod powered up. Lights flickered, and the space around him began to fade. A swirling vortex of colors enveloped him, pulling him into the immersive world of Enders Light.


    << "Neural synchronizationplete. Preparing to transport to Enders Light. Please remain calm and enjoy your journey." >>


    The sensation of weightlessness washed over him, followed by a sudden jolt.


    However, Instead of finding himself back in the Vige of Unhidden Mist, he found himself floating in an all-white space with his game characterpletely und.


    A sense of disorientation gripped him as he looked around, trying to understand what was happening.

    < "You have achieved a heightened level of synchronization with Enders Light. As a result, you have unlocked the Dual ss system, a rare feature avable only to certain yers." >


    "This is..." August couldn''t believe his ears.


    ''Could this be due to my newly attained extraction ability?''


    The orb''s light pulsed gently as it continued, < "Dual sses allow yers tobine the strengths of two different sses, enhancing their abilities and providing new strategic options. You are now required to choose an additional ss toplement your existing Assassin ss. This choice will influence the modification of your stats and skills." >

    August studied the options carefully, considering how each wouldplement his Assassin skills. The potentialbinations were intriguing, and he knew this choice would significantly impact his journey in Enders Light.


    As he pondered the decision, the orb spoke again, < "Take your time to consider each option. Your choice will shape your path forward and unlock new potentials within you." >


    August took a deep breath as he pondered. Each ss offered unique advantages, and he needed to choose the one that would best enhance his abilities and strategy.


    Finally, he made his decision. "I choose..."

    The orb glowed brighter for a moment, then dimmed as the system acknowledged his choice.

    The orb spoke again, < "Your choice has been registered. You now possess thebined strengths of the Assassin and Mage sses. Your stats and skills have been updated ordingly. Prepare to re-enter the game world." >


    The all-white space began to dissolve, and August felt a familiar sensation as he was transported back to the world of Enders Light.


    Momentster, he found himself standing in the Vige of Unhidden Mist once more. The bustling activity of the vigers continued around him as if nothing had changed.

    He noticed several new additions. His HP remained the same, but a new stat, MP (Mana Points), had been added, indicating his ability to cast spells. Additionally, two new magic skills, Fireball and Arcane Shield, appeared alongside his existing Assassin skills.


    Excitement bubbled within him as he read the descriptions of his new skills:

    August couldn''t wait to test his new abilities. Thebination of his stealth andbat skills with powerful magic made him feel more formidable than ever.


    As he closed his yer database, he felt a rush of energy. The dual ss of Assassin and Mage opened up new strategies and possibilities for him.


    Deciding that the vige forest would be the perfect ce for some experimentation, he set off toward the dense woods on the outskirts of Unhidden Mist.
