「Current Progress: 1/12 Shards Collected」

One-twelfth toward a Legendary-tier technique that would enable spectacular finishing in aerial situations.

「RESULTS APPLIED」

The panel confirmed everything while Demien's body absorbed the permanent upgrades, and satisfaction settled quietly because the Diamond Pack had delivered substantial improvements across multiple areas.

He still had 53 SP remaining.

Enough for one more Diamond Pack.

"Diamond Pack," he said without hesitation. "Use fifty SP."

「DIAMOND PACK SELECTED」

「Cost: 50 SP」

「50 SP CONSUMED」

「REMAINING BALANCE: 210 TP | 3 SP | 229 MP」

The diamond lever appeared again and he pulled immediately.

Ten cards flew out in their prismatic arc.

First card flipped.

Brilliant purple-gold radiance.

**LEGENDARY PLAYER SKILL — DUPLICATE**

The card shimmered and transformed, and text appeared explaining the conversion.

「Duplicate Legendary Player Skill detected. Converting to universal attribute bonus.」

「+1 TO ALL ATTRIBUTES」

Every stat on his profile increased by one point simultaneously—pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending, physical—and the comprehensive boost touched every aspect of his game.

Second card flipped immediately after.

Purple-gold again.

**ROBERTO BAGGIO — DIVINE PONYTAIL**

**LEGENDARY PLAYER SKILL**

Text scrolled beneath showing Baggio in his iconic blue Italy shirt.

Improved first touch when receiving in tight spaces, better decision-making in final third, increased composure when shooting from distance or in one-on-one situations.」

「FINAL BALANCE」

「10 TP | 3 SP | 29 MP」

The system closed without commentary, and Demien leaned back against his pillow while processing the comprehensive transformation.

82 overall.

Sprint Speed at 96.

Stamina at 97.

Two new Legendary Player Skills.

Long Shot Taker trait activated.

He didn't celebrate the numbers because they were tools rather than achievements, and Roma wasn't about statistics—it was about control, decision-making, and trust.

His phone sat on the nightstand showing 11:34 PM, and exhaustion pulled at him properly now with training fatigue settling into his muscles.

He locked the screen and closed his eyes while his mind already turned toward Wednesday's session, and when matchday came—whether he played or watched—he wouldn't be guessing anymore.

He'd be ready.
