6 Chapter 6

(Two weeks later)

In the middle of a heated battlefield. Sat Ariel. With a blanket of blood all over him, Only his blue eyes were discernible amongst the thick blood smearing his face. They were worn out and cold at the same time, As a result of experiencing endless battles where one mistake could be your last.

Though Ariel made a lot of mistakes, He was lucky to have his aspect, Otherwise he would've been dead the moment he started this nightmare.

Ariel looked down towards a specifically sensitive place for any man. His dick. Which was unfortunately ripped of by one of the bastards who attacked him in a group.

When one particular battle ended, Arie let down his guard and relaxed for a single second. Just a single fucking second!. The sneaky bastard was pretending to be dead and with me being slightly relaxed after the battle.

It lunged at me. Grabbing a perfect opportunity and doing well upon it. And here we are. With one less dick for me.

Ariel was Gobsmacked at seeing the beast go for his dick out of all the places. That he made sure the beast gets its due for such an action. By slicing it into a couple hundred pieces before finally killing it.

He furrowed his brows just thinking about the pain and humiliation He went through at that time. Prompting him to push it away to the back of his mind. As suddenly, all of his pain vanished in a second, and instead he felt rejuvenated energy traveling through his body like a storm. Pumping him with strength.

Quickly pulling up his status. Ariel looked upon the runes with glittering eyes, Already having an idea to what might be the cause of his instantly vanishing pain…..

._.

Ariel burst out laughing while holding his stomach, To the point that his stomach began to throb. But being immune to pain, He only felt a breeze pass by him. Adding more and more madness to his laugh.

A few minutes of nonstop laughing later. Even when he ran out of breath, His adaptation kicked in, Which in turn prolonged his laughter more and more. Ariel calmed down and focused on his new memory that very rare in itself, Was completely useless to him right now.

'Such a powerful memory. And yet I can't even use it. Until I become an awakened. This memory is useless to me for now. Such a misfortune.'

Seeing this memory for the first time, Was an unexpected but welcoming surprise.

That was until, I saw the enchantments. Though very powerful. They needed something to be activated. Something that I don't have right now.

Soul essence.

'I will awaken my soul sea once I finish this trial, I will also get an upgrade in strength, health, and everything related to my body. It will be nourished by the awakened essence. But the problem with this is… that I can't use any of my Essence until I rank up to an awakened.'

Ariel longingly looked at the runes describing the memory before waving them away. Not wanting to further ruin his mood for the upteenth time in two weeks.

Clearing his mind from the un-amusing thoughts, Ariel laid down on the rough, piping hot ground, His body already adapted to it.

Ariel closed his eyes and hummed a song from his previous life, Eventually falling asleep a few minutes later. Already being used to the grime and waste latching onto his body.

...….

[Wake up Ariel!, Your nightmare is over.]

"Huh, What's going on?"

[prepare for appraisal…..]

"Wait….."

I shot up from my laying position, Meeting a myriad of stars and universes linked together by strings of fate....

"I guess I passed?" I shrugged before looking towards the intricate golden weaves, intermixing and interlocking with each other.

"Wait. How did I know what they were? This is the spell… I shouldn't be able to see this clearly."

"Perhaps it's due to my immunity to fate and pain allowing me to see all of this. I mean sunny did say that the spell was woven together by weaves and what I'm seeing is the foundation of the spell, The way it was created. And why it was created. But I can't seem to understand what they mean, Unless I absorb weaver's blood. I can't make sense of any of this."

Breaking me out of my rant. The spell spoke, This time it didn't have the same familiar voice that notified me of my kills. No, in this void of blinking stars, it was as if the universe was speaking and whispering into my ears…

[Aspirant! Your trial is over.]

[A nameless soldier. Supposedly dead, Returned from the shadow realm. Into the living world, unfortunately. You were reborn onto the same battlefield you had died in gloriously. With a newfound burning resolve, You managed to shatter the shackles of fate. And clean up all of the remaining foes of your army. Proving yourself to your betters in the shadow realm as someone powerful, Cunning and most important of all reliable. Felling countless horrible abominations by yourself, and surviving otherwise impossible, hopeless scenarios. As a reward for your tenacity, The divine general mahoraga, Once an equal to the deities. Now but a forgotten legend, woke up from its long slumber to bless you.]

[You have defeated 1000 awakened terrors.]

[you have defeated 100 awakend Titans.]

[You have received divergent sila divine general mahoraga's blessing.]

[You have achieved the impossible!]

[Final appraisal, Glorious: Your tenacity and resolve truly knows no bounds.]

A sense of fulfilment and a bit of pride welled up in Ariel's heart, Giving his eyes an unnatural glow. As he barely suppressed down the excitement of finally going out of that place, to focus on the spell…

[Dreamer Ariel!, Receive your boon!]

Ariel grinned, All the pain and suffering he went through wasn't for naught. Now he was one rank closer to becoming an awakened. As a dreamer he still can't use his essence, But at least he is closer to achieving it.

[You have been bestowed a true name: The honoured one.]

'Well well well. I didn't think about receiving a true name on my first trial. A true name is very rare. And not even saints, Who are the top powers of the world can boast about having them. Some have it but those are a minority. While Most of those that have it are all from the big 3 clans or direct descendants of the sovereigns.

[Due to your aspect already at the highest rank. One of your attributes will be evolved to its highest form.]

[Your attribute, Instant regeneration is ready to evolve. Evolve attribute?]

'Just as I guessed, it seems my aspect is already at the divine rank, I knew it!…. But I wonder what the attribute will evolve into.'

Focusing my eyes on the runes, I Excitedly said "Yes!"

[Dormant attribute instant regeneration is evolving…..]

[New attribute acquired.]

[Attribute rank: Divine.]

[Attribute name: Immortality.]

Ariel stood in stunned silence, This was the first time in a while, he felt such a surprise hitting him out of nowhere, He had gotten used to surprises so much. In his first trial that he could no longer be swayed by them anymore.

But this…. This was different. Way, way different than anything he had ever experienced up to now.

He couldn't describe what he was feeling with words. This ability will cement his survival in any situation firmly, Unlike the uncertainty and fear he felt trying to survive before. This newfound ability of his was ground breaking even in this dangerous world.

And the reason for that, was. Nobody could start with a divine ranked aspect, Perform the highest in a damn hell of a first trial, Survive and have a divine being bless them. So it's safe to say. I deserved this reward more than anyone else. Even though Sunny's nightmare was vicious too, it was nothing compared to mine.

Letting out a sigh full of joy and relief. Ariel was once again surprised by the spell's voice ringing out again….

[The first seal is broken.]

[Awakening dormant powers…..]
