As the Tears of the Phoenix took full effect, Jaeden noticed a notification flash before his eyes, and he was surprised to see that it was not the same display he had been using during the game against the King.

This one was a system message more closely related to the ones he remembered from Endless Worlds Online. It felt familiar and yet strange.

Title Unlocked: The Opportunist

Ability Gained: Opportunist

A notification flashed before Jaeden’s eyes as the Goblin King’s form flickered, momentarily destabilizing as the labyrinth itself seemed to shudder. The new title, The Opportunist, embodied Jaeden’s knack for seizing the right moments, turning even the slimmest of chances into opportunities for success. This ability wasn’t just limited to combat but extended to every aspect of the labyrinth, subtly enhancing his critical hit chances and decision-making in situations governed by randomness.

A surge of power accompanied the notification, and Jaeden felt his senses heighten. The Opportunist ability sharpened his mind, allowing him to see and exploit every opportunity, every opening that his enemies might leave.

King Cicero’s triumphant expression faltered as he saw Jaeden rise, fully restored, and ready for more. “But I don’t understand,” the King muttered, looking around himself, genuine confusion lacing his voice. “How did you-?”

Jaeden smiled grimly. “Your turn. Play your cards.”
