"A MONTH!" nic shouted as he forced himself up.

"yes a month, I have yet to find out the reason as to why, as your mind was not letting me in, which meant that either you were dead or unconscious" author replied, as he went over and touched nic.

"ohh interesting" he said as he let go of Nics hand, "your gift is now a A-rank gift, not only did you receive a skill but two of them, would you want my help to understand these skills" author was interested in Nics gift, he was a man that loved knowledge and nic gift was one of a kind, it was unique as he had never seen or read of it before, in the world their are many common gifts that are seen, like the ability to harden ones body or the ability to use one of the elements, because of this most gifts are recorded in the book of gifted, it is a expensive book that records all known details about common gifts, some use this book to teach themselves more about themselves or their enemies gift, the book cost is no less than a 100 gold coins.

gold coins is the universal currency for all nations, and 1 gold coin is enough to buy 2 acres of land in any kingdom, their are also silver and copper coins, 1 gold coin equals to 100 silver coins and 1 silver coin is equal to 1000 copper coins, this system is harsh as a average man only makes 100 coppers a day, while those below struggle to make 10, for these reasons most fight to become knights or hunters, that way they can do quest or missions that would earn them a gold coin easily, but that does not mean they are not risking their lives.

"no, you would not always be around, it would be best to understand my gift on my own" nic said this not because author would not always be around to teach him, but because he did not feel safe for one man to know all of his power and potential, what if that man became his enemy?.

*sigh* "can't be helped then, your free to do as you like" author said while walking out of the room.

nic then suddenly felt someone pulling his hair, he turned around to face Charlotte, she was holding a book in her hands and she passed it to nic, she then made a rather odd U using three of her fingers, she blushed and then sped away in her wheelchair.

nic was confused, he then looked down to the book given to him, the book title was beginners tutor of sign language.

"what's this?" nic said as he went through the pages quickly, he then meet the hand sign that Charlotte did before she left, 'I love you' nic then smiled as he placed the book to the side and lay back down, he looked up at the white roof before closing his eyes.

he was back in his gift space, as he entered he saw the two image's of him standing straight as though they were soldiers.

nic then walked up to one of them, as he walked up to the image it started to perform before him, a old and damaged sword was in the image hand, the image did not move for awhile, and nic thought that something was wrong but then he suddenly realized that the sword was starting to look as though it was new, cracks were vanishing and missing pieces were reappearing, after a hour the sword looked good as new.

nic did not need anyone to help him understand what just happened and almost as if the gift understood its owner the image dispersed and particles of light started to form letters.

"renew" nic mumbled as he watched the words then disappeared, and a sentence appeared where the words once were.

"the ability to turn what was old and forgotten, back to what they once were" as nic looked at these words he felt more of a connection between him and his gift, it was as though his gift had became apart of him and had matured.

'this is just overpowering, with this ability I would be able to bring back old artifacts that have long been forgotten, back to what they once were, I can do alot of things with this skill, it may not be combat efficient, seeing that it takes so long to fully restore a sword, but it would be useful in other things' nic was deep in thought as he was thinking of all he can do with his gift.

nic understood the skill, and because of this the particles of light that were showing the image of renew suddenly disperse and another image of nic walked forward.

'I wonder what this skill is about'

as though the image can read Nics mind it began to demonstrate what the skill.

the image was in a fight with someone, looking closely nic opened his eyes as the image looked to be fighting another image of argus, 'it's even able to do this' nic thought as he saw the two images fighting, argus seemed to be on the winning end, but then for some reason the image of nic started to overpower argus, and for some reason the image of argus was not performing as it was before, the fight ended with the image of nic winning.

the image of nic then stand and watched nic, it did not move or disperse as though it was waiting for nic to say something.

"wait that's it?" nic asked as he watched the image, in response the image nodded its head, this suprise nic who did not expect a response.

"what did you do?, I am did not see the ability, all you did was win" nic said as he was totally confused.

the image of argus reappeared again, and they began to fight once more, this time however nic paid more attention, he did not take a his eyes of the fight but still the end result was similar, he did not understand.

nic watched the fight for atleast 50 times he was starting to get annoyed, 'shit this thing is giving me a headache, I'll go out and stretch first then I will come back and see what I can learn'

nic then opened his eyes and got off the bed, he did not realize before how wierd the room was, it was all white, everything in the room was with, only colored objects was the two paintings of some unknown beastmen and the golden door handles.

even he was dressed in a pure white clothing that looked like pajamas, 'what's up with these people and white, dont they know other colors exist' nic thought as he opened the door to see the white hallway.

but inside nic's mind something was going on that he was not aware, in his mind author was roaming free, he could not hold back the urge to get this information and he was even in Nics gift space watching the skill images while nic was.

'interesting, I think this ability is just to powerful, I have to find a way to counter it' he was talking about the last image that nic did not understand, but as soon as author watched the fight he understood.
