[Distributed 10 Dominion Cores to your Tar Level. Tar Level increased to 3!]
[Received 5 Stat Points!]
[15 Dominion Cores required for Tar Level 4.]
---
Oliver used the Dominion Cores he had obtained to raise his Tar Level from 1 to 3, Husk’s level from 1 to 3, and Overlord Eye from 1 to level 2. For every level up, he received 5 stat points that he could freely distribute. But Oliver was not satisfied.
"Hey, system! This is not fair. Why does Husk receive 10 stat points every level up while I only get 5? I also need points to increase my power!"
The system remained silent.
"Know your place, kid! I am a boss monster. Of course I deserve more stats than you, puny human." Husk smirked.
"Tch!" Oliver clicked his tongue as he angrily distributed the 10 stat points he had. He spread them evenly, with more allocated to Defense, as instructed by Husk, for better survivability.

These were his current stats. His HP and MP increased automatically with each level up, 20 for HP and 5 for MP per level up. Now that all his attributes had reached double digits, Oliver smiled, feeling a little stronger than before.
He then distributed Husk’s stat points, following Husk’s request to focus on STR and AGI, since his skills scaled mainly from those two attributes.

Unlike Oliver, Husk gained 50 HP and 25 MP per level up. This made Oliver sighed.
"Boss monsters really are built different, huh?"
He then looked at the effect of Overlord Eye, whose skill [All-Seeing Eye] had reached level 2. Now, besides the monster’s na and HP bar, he could also see its rank and level. It might not seem very useful at first, but for experienced tars, knowing a monster’s rank and level could help them gauge its strength and plan their strategy.
Oliver also felt that the design of the Overlord Eye had beco sharper and more intense.
"Now, it is ti for to unlock a new pack! Are you ready, Husk?" Oliver struck a dramatic pose.
Husk, anwhile, did not react. Even as a boss monster, he felt that his master was far more energetic than him.
He opened his system and imdiately checked the [Limited Offer] first, but he felt frustrated at the current selection. The cards were good, but far too expensive. The lowest price was 15,000 Tar Coins, sothing he could not even co close to afford.
He then moved to the [Single Pack] section. Six new packs had been added:
---
[EMBERLIGHT ORDER]
[TRAIL OF LEGACY]
[NEW DAWN]
[ARSENAL OVERLORD]
[SCATTERED ORIGIN]
[OBLIVION TIDES]
---
With these new packs ca higher chances of rare cards, but also higher costs. Oliver only had 1,000 coins at the mont, and he did not wish to spend everything, as he wanted to save for the future.
He chose one of the earlier packs he had unlocked, [RISE OF TAR] and purchased it.
500 Tar Coins were deducted from his account.
The pack materialized instantly in his hand. The pack bore an illustration of a tar standing beside a powerful beast. Without hesitation, he tore it open.
First card.

"What good cards I pulled. Do I actually have a Midas hand?" Oliver said excitedly.
He imdiately learned the [Quickstep] skill and decided to try it out.
"Let’s see how it works. Quickstep!"
BAM!
He instantly dashed straight into the wall of his room, hitting his head hard. A large bump quickly ford.
"Oliver! What was that loud sound?!" his mother shouted from downstairs.
"Nothing, Mom! I just fell on the floor!" he replied, rubbing his head.
"Who in their right mind tries to use a dash skill in a tight space?" Husk said, annoyed.
"You should have said that earlier!"
After that, he materialized the potion. It turned out to be an incredible card. With its charge-based healing effect, Oliver no longer needed to buy expensive potions. With proper use, it was essentially an infinite healing source.
"This is...kind of broken," Oliver muttered as he turning the vial in his hand as faint energy pulsed within it.
"As expected from a system card. Do not rely on it too much, though. Healing does not an you can fight recklessly." Husk comnted.
"Yeah, yeah. I got it."
Finally, Oliver looked at the at card.
"This will be useful for taming boss monsters in the future," he nodded.
"Or to bait them into eating you faster," Husk added.
"Can you not ruin the mont?"
Oliver sighed, but a small smile remained on his face.
With new skills, better healing item, and tools for taming, his next dungeon raid was already looking far more promising.
[Please use the System Key Card you have right now. It will expand the system capability.]
The system ssage appeared suddenly.
Without hesitation, Oliver used the System Key Card. A large radiant key materialized in the air and slowly rotating. Then, it pointed directly at Oliver.
The key pierced into his chest, as if unlocking sothing deep within him.
[System Expansion in Progress...]
After few minutes, the progress completed as new ssages appeared.
[New Features Unlocked!]
[Mission Category Unlocked!]
"Mission?" Oliver was confused.
[Mission is a feature that will give you rewards for completing its tasks. It is the best feature to develop your power and, at the sa ti, increase your Tar Coins.]
Oliver opened the [Mission] nu.

"Sweet! This is like a quest. And the reward is not bad. I like this feature," Oliver said excitedly. With this, he now had sothing to focus on while farming cores and coins.
Suddenly, his door was knocked.
"Oliver, dinner is ready. Co down," Tara’s voice was heard beyond the door.
