Looking at the Worldbinder Ring in his hand, Ethan was overwhelmed with excitement. As he slipped it onto his finger, a system prompt immediately appeared.
"Ding! Special Artifact requires binding to use. Bind now?"
"Yes."
Ethan felt his health rapidly draining, but having experienced this once before, he remained calm this time.
Soon, after losing 10,000 health points, another system prompt rang out.
"Ding! Worldbinder Ring binding successful."
Ethan noticed the ring on his finger emitting a flash of light before transforming into a faint imprint on his skin.
He immediately checked his stats. As expected, his Strength shot up to over 2,200. With more than 1,400 Agility, his Strength also increased by the same amount, bringing his Attack Power to an impressive 7,731—transforming him from a poison-reliant assassin into one capable of burst damage.
"A true artifact lives up to its name. This effect is insanely powerful," Ethan thought to himself.
