Knowing that the moment I touch [Accept] I'll be thrown back to the streets, I pause to take a breath, reviewing my rewards, skills, and stats.

Once again, the armor I've received doesn't exactly make me feel battle-ready, but it's still better than running around in plain shoes. I slip the leather boots on, feeling marginally more prepared.

Then there's the giftbox: a small, white package tied with a bright red ribbon. Holding my breath, I untie the ribbon and open the lid to reveal...

[Beginner's Amulet]

"God, I hate this game."

Despite the irony stinging, I decide to put it on. Instantly, everything changes.

[New Effect Discovered] Almost there: Beginner's set 3/3.

Experience gain increased by 10%

All pieces now provide 2 armor.

I can feel the change immediately—a faint, tangible aura of protection settles around me. Looking down, I notice the leather armor has taken on an almost primal texture. Small thorn-like spines are sprouting along its seams. It's like wearing the hide of some ancient forest creature.

"Okaaaay... Now that's a bit more like it."

Next, I inspect the new ring, which has an intricate engraving I hadn't noticed at first.

[Ring of recovery]

Restores the wearer in mind and bodySingle use.

Without hesitation, I slide it on. A subtle warmth flows through me as it adjusts to my finger.
