Beside the fallen corpse of the Tier-2 Bloodthirsty Earth Bear, an ominous piece of armor emerged, its surface a deep, pitch-black hue that seemed to absorb the light around it.
Yet, what truly captured Jay's attention was the golden imprint at its centerโa radiant, blazing symbol of the sun that flickered with a vivid intensity. The imprint seemed alive, as if the sun itself had been captured within the armor's core. It pulsed rhythmically, each flicker a reminder of the latent power contained within the armor.
Jay approached cautiously, his movements slow and deliberate. His eyes stayed fixed on the golden imprint, watching for any sign that the blazing symbol might emit heat powerful enough to harm him.
Though the sun-like emblem burned with a fierce intensity, there was no warmth radiating from itโno trace of the fire that its appearance suggested. Still, he remained vigilant, inching closer with a sense of caution that the dangerous world had instilled in him.
The closer he drew, the more he could feel the power humming through the very air around it, but nothing suggested the imprint would lash out or burn him.
Once confident that no hidden danger lurked within its glow, Jay reached down and picked up the armor. Its weight was solid, yet it felt balanced in his hands. Without hesitation, he activatedโInspectโ, allowing the system's information to flood his mind. The details of the armor unraveled before him, revealing its true nature.

๏ดพ Growth-Type Items merge with the user's body, creating a Life Bond. Once bonded, they remain permanent, growing alongside the user and staying with them forever. ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Do you wish to form a Life bond withโCentauri Kavachโ? ๏ดฟ
Despite its classification as a Common grade Spirit Item, Jay didn't hesitate. The fact that it was a Growth-type Spirit Armour, capable of evolving to higher levels, made it an undeniable prize.
More than that, knowing a Tier-9 Being had crafted it sealed his decision. The potential embedded in its creation was enough for him to form a bond without a second thought. Accepting the system's notification with a simple nod, he watched as the armour began to react.
It expanded on its own, stretching and shifting until it seamlessly enveloped his upper body, sparing only his head and arms. It fit him perfectly, as if it had been tailored to his exact dimensions. Yet, even more remarkable was how the armour melted into his skin, merging with his body in a way unlike any typical armor.
Jay braced himself as a sharp wave of discomfort surged through him, but thanks to his Lv.50โPhysical Pain Resistanceโ, the pain was significantly reducedโthough not entirely absent.

Even with the armour melding painfully into his skin, his resistance skill didn't level up, which left him pondering the threshold of agony required for the next level.
It took several seconds for the pain to subside, during which theโCentauri Kavachโcompleted its transformation. When the process ended, the only trace of the armour was a palm-sized golden tattoo at the center of his chest, shaped like a blazing sun.
Curious, Jay scanned the area for any sign of the vanished armour but found nothing. His gaze returned to the golden tattoo. As he concentrated on it, vivid, lifelike flames burst forth from the mark, engulfing his upper body. The flames, though intense, caused no harm. They flickered and danced for a moment before dissipating, revealing theโCentauri Kavachโonce more, fully materialized over his form.
He realized then that theโCentauri Kavachโwas unlike any armor he had encountered before. It wasn't something he could simply remove; it had fused with his very being.
When Jay touched the armour, the sensation was startlingly familiarโhe could feel the warmth and pressure of his fingers as though they were touching his own skin. The armor felt so natural, so comfortable, that he hardly noticed it at all once it had settled into place.
After a few moments, he willed the armour to return to its dormant state. With a single thought, theโCentauri Kavachโretracted, leaving only the golden tattoo once more. Jay's eyes flicked to the Timer forโINVERSEโmode, his mind already shifting to the next challenge.
๏ดพ Time left inโINVERSEโmode: 7 min 32 sec ๏ดฟ
The battle had surged forward at an incredible pace, with Jay fully immersed in the intensity of combat. Less than three minutes had passed since he enteredโINVERSEโmode, but it felt like a drawn-out struggle due to his enhanced perception.
With his Spirit Attribute inโLOOTED STATUSโat 48, Jay experienced time at 4.8 times the normal rate. Every second stretched into 4.8 seconds, giving him an edge in reflexes, precision, and decision-making. His physical Attributes, also scaled to match his Spirit, allowed him to move and react with an almost surreal speed.
The Tier-2 monsters he fought had similar capabilities, though their time perception seemed a little over four times faster than average. Still, the battle concluded swiftly, lasting only a few minutes in standard time. Yet, for Jay, it had felt like a prolonged clash of wills and strength.
His recent advancement to Lv.10 came with added perks, most notably the increase inโINVERSEโmode's duration from the initial six minutes to a full ten. The extended time gave him more room to maneuver, but also came with deeper consequences should he push himself too far.
As he checked the remaining time on theโINVERSEโtimer, a question surfaced in his mindโwhat would happen to theโCentauri Kavachโonce he reverted fromโINVERSEโ?
It wasn't a question he wanted to answer experimentally, not in the heat of battle. To avoid unnecessary risks, Jay quickly opened hisโSTATUSโmenu.
His eyes scanned the System panels, looking for any indication that the stats fromโCentauri Kavachโhad been integrated into his overall attributes. Oddly, there was nothing. The armor's power seemed to be present, yet its effects remained separate from his Looted stats.
Not wanting to waste time pondering, Jay turned his attention to the newly acquired Undistributed Stats from reaching Lv.10. He poured the points into his Vitality and Endurance Attributes, ensuring his survivability and stamina were bolstered.
๏ดพ Undistributed Stats: 20 โ 7 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Vitality: 17 โ 25 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Congratulations! You gained the Skill, Lv.1โPassive Health Regeneration-IโโงผUncommonโงฝ by reaching 20 Stats in Vitality Attribute. ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Endurance: 20 โ 25 ๏ดฟ
Upon reaching the key threshold of 25 in both Vitality and Endurance, the latent power within theโCentauri Kavachโfully activated and so did the stats that came with it. Instantly, his Vitality and Endurance were enhanced even further.
๏ดพ Vitality: 25 โ 35 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Endurance: 25 โ 35 ๏ดฟ
Jay noted with interest that despite the significant increase in his Attributes, there was no physical discomfort or pain. It was a stark contrast to his experiences outside of โINVERSEโ mode, where significant stat boosts typically came with the price of physical strain or pain.
That discovery was a crucial oneโwhile in โINVERSEโ, he could allocate Stats without enduring the normal consequences. The potential of the newfound flexibility wasn't lost on him.
Taking advantage of the moment, Jay decided to capitalize on this pain-free window. He quickly allocated the remaining points into Strength, Agility, and Spirit.
๏ดพ Undistributed Stats: 7 โ 0 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Strength: 20 โ 22 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Agility: 21 โ 22 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Spirit: 16 โ 20 ๏ดฟ
๏ดพ Congratulations! You gained the Skill, Lv.1โPassive Spirit Energy Regeneration-Iโ โงผUncommonโงฝ by reaching 20 Stats in Spirit Attribute. ๏ดฟ
With the last of his points distributed, Jay surveyed his updated Attributes. His Strength and Agility stood at 22 each, bolstering his physical prowess, while Vitality and Endurance, boosted by theโCentauri Kavachโ, had reached an impressive 35 each.
The increase in Spirit to 20 brought a new skillโโPassive Spirit Energy Regeneration-Iโ, that would ensure his energy reserves recovered steadily over time. These incremental gains had left Jay stronger and more resilient than ever before.
But even with these significant upgrades,โINVERSEโmode presented limitations. While Jay had unlocked skills likeโStrength Boost-IโandโAgility Boost-Iโupon reaching 20 Stats in those attributes, he found that they remained inaccessible in that form.
The system seemed to lock away certain skills when his body was in its inverted state. Fortunately, his Looted Skills remained active and usable, which prevented a complete handicap.
The thought of being unable to use any of his boosted skills in battle would have been far more troublesome, but he found some solace in knowing his Looted Skills were immune to those restrictions.
As Jay navigated the intricacies of his enhanced state, another realization dawned on himโwhile he could enhance his Attributes through hisโSTATUSโ, any stats gained from Spirit Items or Achievements were not reflected in hisโLOOTED STATUSโ.
That meant that only Looted Statsโthose gained from the fallen enemies he had defeatedโcould influence his attributes within theโLOOTED STATUSโtab. It was a critical distinction that shaped his understanding of how his powers worked in the INVERSE mode.
Still, Jay's curiosity led him to experiment. He attempted to add the 3 remaining Looted Stats into his primaryโSTATUSโ, but the effort was futile. No matter how he tried to transfer them, they simply wouldn't integrate.
Looted Stats were bound toโLOOTED STATUSโand couldn't be manipulated in the same way as ordinary stats. That brought him to a definitive conclusion: Looted Stats were distinct, unable to be directly applied to his primaryโSTATUSโ, existing solely to enhance his power while inโINVERSEโ mode.
It was a delicate balanceโone that required careful management of his resources. While his Spirit Items and personal achievements contributed greatly to his overall strength, they had no impact on hisโLOOTED STATUSโ.
That understanding framed the way he would approach future battles. When inโINVERSEโmode, only the stats he looted from monsters would count, and their distribution would be automatic, divided equally among his five main attributes.
