Harry collapsed instantly onto the soft meadow. The soft grass felt like silk beneath his exhausted body. The clean, pure air of the world, filtered of all impurities, filled his lungs with each shallow breath.
There was no need for rejuvenating berries; his own personal dimension was functioning as a high-tech recovery room.
Harry's body twitched one last time, and his mind shut down completely. He fell into the dreamless sleep he had longed for throughout his childhood.
When Harry awoke, the dimension's eternal sun was in the same spot, casting a perfect, gentle light.
The first thing he noticed was the silence, then the complete absence of pain. He sprang to his feet, fully restored, energy bubbling through his veins. The three hours he had spent in the Dungeon, fighting for his life, were behind him.
He made his way to his small wooden cabin. The wooden box of the magical stable stood open, and the chickens and goat peered at him curiously.
"Good morning, Capra," Harry greeted the goat, which responded with a bleat.
He approached the makeshift workbench. On it, piled high, were remnants of his loot.
[T I N G]
[HOST STATUS: Optimal. Mana: 100% (55/55). Vitality: 100%.]
[CURRENT BALANCE: 722 SC.]
[Loot pending assimilation/sale.]
Harry nodded, focusing on the stack of scrolls and books. He had absorbed the Mana Drain in the heat of battle, but four Skill Books remained intact.
"System. I want to assimilate the four Skill Books."
The four books, bound in rough leather, dissolved in four pulses of light. Knowledge flowed into Harry's mind.
[Assist Book Assimilation Completed.]
[New Skills Acquired (x12):]
[Analysis — Evaluation (Special): Allows the user to observe and analyze a target to obtain detailed information.

[Magic — Advanced Mana Vision: Enhances the ability to see and track the flow of mana, allowing the detection of hidden spells or invisible magical creatures.]

[Skill Installation Complete]
Harry focused on the physical equipment he had brought. I needed to decide what was useful enough to keep and what should be sold for Credits.
—System. Give me the description of the Dungeon equipment.
[Horn Talisman]
[Rank D Artifact. Origin: Swamp Beast Bone enchanted with Shamanic Magic.]
[Passive Effect: Minor Resistance to Filth (Immunity to mud and Rank E poisons). Grants a temporary +1 to Luck in underground environments.]

[Rank E Weapon. Description: Sharp bone knives. Extremely light and silent. Good for stealth (benefits from Expert Throwing).]
[Bone Bow (x1)]
[Rank E Weapon. Description: Low-power bow, ideal for hunting small game. Requires arrows (not included).]
Harry made a decision.
—System, I want to sell all my surplus equipment, unabsorbed loot scrolls, and all my gold, silver, and gem fortune. Convert the total value to Galleons (G) and deposit it into my inventory. I want this money available to buy items in the wizarding world when I leave the Dimension.
[Conversion Request Accepted.]
[System SC are only obtained from Narrative Energy Conversion. Mundane fortune (gold, gems) will be appraised and converted to the requested currency (Gallons).]
[FINAL TREASURE VALUATION:]
[63,629 Galleons, 15 Sickles, 25 Knuts.]
[Conversion Completed.] 63,629 G deposited in his Vault.]
[Goblin Loot (surplus) converted to 50 SC.]
[SYSTEM CREDIT BALANCE (SC): 722 + 50 = 772 SC.]
[COIN BALANCE (OTHER): 63,629 G.]
Harry couldn't believe the amount. Sixty-three thousand Galleons.
Harry looked at Capra and its data appeared before his eyes without using the system.

Harry smiled. The skill was perfect. Now he knew exactly what kind of creature he was and how he could use it.
Harry checked his status.
