Daisuke skimmed through the details of the skill once more before uttering the words: "Eye of Verity."
DING!
[The Eyes of Verity illuminates beyond what you can see.]
The moment he evoked the words, the world transformed, adopting a monochromatic palette reminiscent of an antique television show from the 19th century.
As Daisuke surveyed the landscape, he marveled at the way highlights, midtones, and shadows painted the scenery in exquisite detail.

"This is..." Is that the residual energy from the Hidden Dungeon? Mmm... I'm sure there's more to it, but I don't think I'll be able to figure it out right now.

He didn't want to remember any of that.
However, he deduced that he had stumbled upon the skill when he opened the grimoire discovered in the secret chamber. The moment he acquired both skills—the Eye of Verity and Alchemy—was punctuated by his bleeding eyes and the book missing its text.
