# US-003: Progress and purchase Tyrant unlocks

As the **Tyrant**, I want to earn one meaningful choice for defeating the Vigilante so that each reign develops differently.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] The Tyrant gains one level and one unlock choice only when personally credited with killing the current Vigilante.
- [ ] A Vigilante death caused by another player, the environment, or the Vigilante does not level the Tyrant.
- [ ] Available purchases are Assassin, Fixer, Tamer, roster intelligence, permanent Resistance, and permanent Strength.
- [ ] Each class or ability can be purchased at most once during a reign.
- [ ] A menu or command clearly identifies purchased, available, and unavailable choices.
- [ ] A purchase consumes exactly one unspent choice and cannot be duplicated by retries or concurrent input.
- [ ] Progress cannot be earned or spent while the game is paused.
- [ ] Levels, purchases, and unspent choices survive logout and restart but reset when the reign ends.
