What if, just... what if...
The thought hung in Tatehan's mind, dangerous and tempting.
I mean, it was really insane to even consider this. Completely insane. Reckless actually. The kind of decision that could backfire spectacularly and leave him weaker instead of stronger.
But... what if he chose the ability?
The Blind Chase. The fifty-fifty gamble.
Tatehan opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling, his mind working through the possibilities.
How sensible would it be to take this risk?
On the surface, not very. He'd be throwing away fifty-four cores, resources that had taken him a hard time to collect, resources that could guarantee a tangible, measurable improvement to one of his existing abilities, on a chance. A coin flip. A gamble where the odds were literally even and the outcome was completely unknown.
That was stupid. Anyone rational would tell him that was stupid.
But then again, when had anything about his situation been rational?
