Satria was sitting in his room, scrolling through the Dimensional Chat Shop with a furrowed brow. He was on the hunt for an item or skill that could counter the Evil Pieces-a demonic chess system binding devils to their masters.

Satria stared at the options.

"These could work," he muttered, tapping his finger on the screen. But the prices...

Satria's eyes lingered on the familiar skill Demonic Cleanse, and a nostalgic smile tugged at his lips.

"This skill... it's from Shadow Demon, isn't it?" he muttered to himself, recalling the legendary support hero from Dota 2. Shadow Demon's abilities were all about disrupting enemies, purging harmful effects, and providing unique utility. Demonic Cleanse wasn't just a powerful tool; it was a literal game-changer when used correctly.

[Fatalis: Shadow Demon? Sounds ominous. What's that?]

"It's a hero from an old strategy game I used to play," Satria replied. "This skill was one of his signature moves-able to cleanse debuffs and heal targets. In the game, it's mostly used to counter enemy buffs or save allies. But here..." He paused, his gaze sharpening.

[Fatalis: Here, it can break through the Evil Pieces]

"Exactly. Shadow Demon was underrated, but if used by the right player, he could disrupt the entire battlefield. This skill... if I can master it, I could not only heal others but also neutralize any enchantments or curses tied to them."

[Fatalis: It's useful, But are you sure? Spending 20,000 coins on a single skill is no joke]

Satria sighed, conflicted. "I know. But it's more than just the cost. If I use this skill, I'm putting myself in the crosshairs of the devils. They'll see me as a threat to their entire system and I'm not ready... Yet to face them all."

[Fatalis: Always playing it safe, huh? Anything else catch your eye?]

Satria smirked, leaning back in his chair. "Of course. But let's be real-this is like the early game. You don't go around joking or flexing, saying 'ez' like some idiot, only to get wiped out later." He paused, a confident yet measured glint in his eyes. "Those are the kinds of players who end up feeding and ruining everything."

The Black Dragon laughed, her voice ringing like an amused melody.

[Fatalis: Spoken like a true tactician. But don't you think playing it too safe will make things... boring?]

"Boring or not, it's about survival," Satria countered, his voice firm but calm. "Rushing in without understanding the field just sets you up for disaster. You take time, build up resources, and when the enemy least expects it-bam-you strike with overwhelming force."
