As Sasaki accepted the darkness, he felt a surge of power merging with his soul. The One System informed him in his mind that this Origin power was now a part of his very being.
Unlike the Illumina system, which was tied to the body and lost upon death, the Origin power was linked to his soul. Even if he were to die and be reincarnated, his power and level would remain intact.
Multiple notifications flashed before Sasaki's eyes, confirming the upgrades to his abilities. The newfound strength within him felt like an unbreakable bond, unshakable and eternal.
Sasaki's mind reeled from the implications. He had chosen a path that went beyond mere power - a path that transcended life and death.
He clenched his fists, feeling the surge of dark energy coursing through him. This was his reality now, a reality where he had to navigate the thin line between destruction and creation.
