Star Ring

    The Phantom Grove loomed ahead, its canopy choked with spectral mist that writhed like living tendrils. Fortune''s obsidian claws sank into the mossy earth as he let out a low growl—the drake equivalent of a raised eyebrow.


    Environmental Alert:


    ? Zone Discovered: Withershade Canopy (Lv50-150)


    ? Active Debuff: Rootrot (-10% Movement Speed | Fungal Spores)


    I flexed my hand, the newly acquired [Veil of the Eclipse] pulsing with void energy on my finger. Its ruby eye seemed to drink the dim forest light.


    Item Analysis (Fully Identified):


    ? [Veil of the Eclipse] (Artifact | Soulbound)


    ├─Equilibrium: Syncs all base stats to highest attribute (Current: STR 377 → All 377)


    ├─+20% Shadowspell Potency


    ├─Abyssal Arsenal: Unlocks all Tier 1-5 Dark Magic


    └─Soulthread: 20% Damage Converted to Mana


    Krag''s warning echoed in my mind: "That ring''s no trinket—it''s a pact. The Abyss always collects."


    Fortune sniffed at a gnarled root crawling with bioluminescent fungi. His tail lashed suddenly, smashing a [Lv55 Mossfiend] into pulp before it could ambush us.


    Combat Log:


    [Fortune] uses [Tail Whip] → 1,240 Crushing DMG (Overkill)


    ? +380 XP (Shared)

    ? Loot: [Glowcap Spores] (Alchemy Reagent)


    "Showoff," I muttered, channeling the ring''s power. Dark energy surged through my veins as I triggered [Umbral Sight]—the forest''s shadows sharpened into razor-edged clarity.


    New Ability Unlocked:


    ? [Death''s Embrace] (Channeled AoE)


    ├─25% HP Drain/sec from all targets in 15m radius


    └─Cost: 100 MP/sec


    The grove came alive with skittering threats—[Lv63 Thornspire Crawlers] burst from rotten logs, their barbed legs clicking in dissonant rhythms.


    "Time to test the merchandise." I raised the Eclipse Reaver, its blade humming with fresh Nethersteel edge.


    Tactical Engagement:


    Phase 1 - Suppression:


    - Fortune activates [Abyssal Barrage] to cluster mobs


    - Player casts [Shadowbind] (Roots enemies 8sec)


    Phase 2 - Harvest:


    - Chain [Death''s Embrace] + Basic Attacks


    - Utilize [Soulsiphon] healing to sustain mana burn


    Phase 3 - Cleanse:


    - Trigger [Veil of the Eclipse]''s Equilibrium burst


    - Fortune executes [Dragon''s Descent] finisher

    ? Player Level: 70 → 73 (+3)


    ? Fortune Level: 70 → 73 (Sync Maintained)


    ? Loot Acquired:


    - [Witherthorn Blade] (Rare | 45-65 ATK | Poison DOT)


    - 22 Gold 47 Silver


    The real prize came as the mist parted—a crumbling monolith etched with Elder Futhark runes.


    Lore Identifier Activated:


    "Here lies the Threshold of Screams, where the Veil wears thin. Tread lightly, mortal, for the Hungering Dark remembers."


    Fortune''s growl deepened as shadowy figures coalesced ahead—not mobs, but [Lv?? Voidstalkers] with featureless obsidian masks.


    Quest Alert:


    ? Eclipse Prophecy (Mythic)


    ├─Investigate the Monolith


    ├─Survive Voidstalker Assault


    └─Reward: Unlocks [Starfall] Ultimate


    The drake spread his wings in challenge, hellfire gathering in his maw. The grove held its breath.
