[Congratulations to the "Primordial" for being the first being in history to complete the "Seventh Layer" and killing the Layer Boss: Zareth, The Forgotten One.]
"Huh," Sam muttered, staring at the glowing panel floating in front of him with a blank expression, "Luckily... it didn't show my name."
On Earth, it would have.
Back then, when system notifications appeared, they would broadcast his name for everyone to see.
But here, it only revealed his title.
It didn't say "first human" either. It said "first being."
That simple choice of words was a shield.
It concealed his race and identity, from the endless eyes watching.
That way, people knew the primordial was moving in the shadows and growing stronger, while also making sure to hide who he was.
Sam felt satisfied with that.
If there was one thing he wanted more than power, it was the ability to choose when to reveal himself.
His gaze drifted away from the panel and settled on Zareth's body.
