Lian sat cross-legged in the quiet underground cave, the faint glow of bioluminescent moss on the walls providing dim illumination. Elara lay nearby on a makeshift bed of folded cloaks, her breathing now steady and even. She was still unconscious, but the worst of the damage had passed. Her body was recovering.
He looked down at the device on his left wrist — the Nexus Scan Gauntlet, taken from one of the dead high-ranking enforcers. It was a sleek, black-and-silver band with a small crystalline display. He activated it with a thought, and a soft blue holographic interface projected in front of him.
The gauntlet began scanning everything he had looted.
One by one, items floated up in the air as the device analyzed them, displaying clear information: Na, Grade, and Primary Uses.
Lian watched intently, his void eyes reflecting the blue light.

Lian continued scanning, his expression growing more satisfied with each item. He had gathered an impressive haul — far more than he expected from one night of chaos. The Nexus Scan Gauntlet made everything clear and organized, showing him exactly what he now possessed.
He glanced at Elara again. She was breathing easier now. So color had returned to her face. He felt a rare sense of relief.
With these resources, their preparation for the Kharvax Pri rift in six years had just beco much more realistic. He could train harder, heal faster, and build up their strength systematically.
He kept scanning, sorting the items into different categories in his mind — imdiate use, long-term training, trading value, and ergency survival.
The underground cave remained quiet, a hidden sanctuary amid the broken world above.
