Luciel rose from the earthen ridge, brushing the dust from his palms. The young tea tree before him shimmered faintly in the sunlight. He reached out and touched one of its soft green leaves.
A clear chime echoed in his mind.
> Ding! A domesticable plant has been detected. Would you like to domesticate it?
Luciel grinned. "Tame."
> Ding! Level 0 Lifeform — Green Tea Tree detected. Beginning domestication…
Ding! Domestication successful. Ten taming points consumed.
Ding! Would you like to inherit the 'Starlight Tea Tree' Talent: Glorious Growth?
"Inherit," Luciel said at once.
> Ding! 'Glorious Growth' being synchronized… adapting… inheritance complete.
A faint warmth rippled through his body, spreading like sunlight across his skin before fading away. For a brief moment, he felt his senses sharpen, as if every living thing nearby had exhaled in harmony with him.
