Nova sat under the shade of the treehouse, taking in the cool fresh air, while Nux leaned on his back with a scroll in his hands. "What kind of dumb Spell is this?" Nux asked with a twisted expression on his face."This Spells wants to turn me into a glorified Heater." He complained. Nux had been going through some the Fire Spells one by one, starting from the weakest to the strongest, and all he had been seeing were Spells that made his body parts hot."Hot Hands. Hot Legs. Hot Abs. Hot Back..." Nux read out. "Who even named them?!"Nux gave up on the Spells for now and decided that he would come back to them later. He had gone through the Spell he won from Gregory, and a number of Fire Spells too, yet he was having a hard time learning any one of them or making any substantial progress. The only thing he had learnt was that just like Humans, Beasts and Artifacts and Beast Equipments, Spells were ranked from F-Rank Grade-1 to S-Rank Grade-5.He climbed back into his treehouse, lai

Nux stood before a counter, staring at the assortment of delicacies before him. The Inn's way of serving food was unique, and Nux liked it that way. It would be easier for him to not get poisoned... that is, if someone wanted to poison him. "... whatever." After ordering something that looked like Beans Cake, with some prepared powdered cornflower mixed with sugar, he sat at a table and began to eat voraciously. Mind you, Nux didn't just order one serving, but three, and at the same time even. He didn't care for anyone's opinion about his way of eating, and ate like it was his last meal, and true, that was going to be his last good meal in a very long time. Nux took a spoonful of the cornflower mixed with sugar, and shoved it into his mouth. Then immediately after, he grabbed a Bean Cake and stuffed his face full of it. The sight was both comical and mortifying at the same time. Nux couldn't even be differentiated from a hungry Beast at that moment, and the fact that he wasn't c

Just like that, three days passed in the cell, and Nux, just like they wanted, was thinking, though it wasn't about what he had done, he didn't really care. He had eaten a few days prior, so food wasn't going to be his problem for a long time. As an Awakened, their tenacity was exaggerated, so they could last two weeks without food, although they wouldn't be in good condition after.Nux channeled all his thinking power into making out a plan on how to save Natalie. Sooner or later, he was going to need allies, and starting with someone like her would be a boon. 'I don't even know if she's strong, and asking her wouldn't be ideal in this situation, but considering she is being chased by a Noble, and that Noble would rather see her dead than let anyone else get her, she should be valuable.'He scrutinized Natalie with Frequency Reading and checked tried to see if he could sense anything from her, but he got nothing. He could see her just staring seemingly at nothing, probably thinkin

"Teacher Clark said everything in the world is formed from Runes." Nux said, shock still evident in his eyes. "And if my eyes didn't fail me, and what Teacher Clark taught us was true, then that tree branch just returned to its base form." Frequency Agitation locked onto the Frequency of Vibration of the Runes making up the branch, then agitated that frequency, causing the Runes to become disorganized, though still stay together somewhat.However, because Nux held the branch for long, the agitation reached a breaking point, and the Runes were no longer able to hold themselves together, and dispersed. Nux stared ahead with a smile, then began to laugh loudly. "I have to say, this Ability is overpowered!"Nux grinned foolishly behind his mask, revelling in the insane and untapped potential of his new Ability. If he mastered it properly, he could already imagine just now much powerful and unstoppable he'll become. Throughout the journey from the house he got the Vibration Beast Soul f

"Shit!" Nux cursed and suddenly burst forth with stunning speed and agility. He threw out his arm and let fly a Fireball. The guard didn't panic and retaliated with a fierce swing of his Spear, but he seemed to have underestimated the strength of the Fireball. The explosion was massive and the walls held and didn't collapse, but the same couldn't be said for the guard. He skidded back a few feets, and his armor plates could be seen glowing brightly from getting heated by the flames. Nux didn't give him time to recuperate and threw another Fireball. The Guard learnt his lesson and sidestepped the Fireball, but Nux was one step ahead of him and detonated ball of flame, and another explosion rang out. The scream of the guard threatened to be louder than the explosion, and Nux suddenly felt his body become two times slower. "What the hell!" Nux exclaimed. "What's happening?"He poured more strength into his body and tried to move faster, but his speed remained the same. He didn't kno
