The notification hovered just in front of his eyes.
[Weapon Bonding Available]
Jin blinked at it, brows raising slightly. "Bonding, huh?"
He looked down at the weapon in his hand—sleek, sharp, and new. The twin-edged blade glinted faintly in the early light, the metal catching just enough of the rising sun to glow.
"Didn't know this was a dating sim," he muttered.
Still, curiosity pulled at him. He focused on the prompt.
[Attempt Bonding with Current Weapon?]
"Yeah, sure. Let's see what this is about," he said aloud, voice low. He accepted the prompt mentally—
[Insufficient combat resonance. Bonding failed.]
Jin lowered the blade with a faint frown. "Then why ask in the first place?" His voice dripped sarcasm.
He waited, as if the system would offer an explanation. It didn't.
No follow-up. No more prompts. Just the quiet hum of the air around him and the distant stir of wind cutting through the trees past the walls.
