The thunderous applause continued to wash over the arena as Jack stood beside his newly bound companion, the Carrion Raven's glowing eyes reflecting the chaotic energy of the crowd. Through their soul link, he could feel the creature's satisfaction, not just at being alive again, but at being bound to someone worthy of its power.
A soft chime echoed in Jack's mind, cutting through the noise.
[Congratulations on binding your first soul]
[Title Unlocked: Soul Warden]
[Description: Death's gatekeeper with a rebellious streak. You've decided souls belong to you now, not the afterlife.]
[Effect: All Soul Warden skills gain 25% increased efficiency.]
[Reward: 1 Black Ticket]
[Reward: Mystery Box (Rare)]
Jack blinked at the notifications. A Black Ticket? He'd never seen anything like that mentioned in the system before. And a Mystery Box suggested there were reward mechanics he hadn't discovered yet.
'System, what exactly is a Black Ticket?'
