Taking a deep breath, Reyansh slumped back into bed, the new mask still resting in his hands. He was genuinely thinking for a mont that soone who resides in Apex dinsion, would she even need him?
Even after his promise, he still felt it wasn’t enough. He could only guess the value of the items they had given him, but what mattered most was that they ca with no strings attached.
’Okay, no point in thinking over sothing that I have no control over,’ he reasoned.
From now on, he would accept any type of help unless it binds him in sothing that hinders his goals.
After settling down his turbulent thought process, he raised the mask over his face, watching it with extre interest.
If the Sanguine Parallax was a mix of dread and intrigue then this mask was majestic and mysterious in appearance.
’Let’s check its abilities first before I look into the Hunter’s pack,’ he decided, opening the panel again.
[Abilities:]
1. Absolute Identity Erasure
• The wearer’s identity becos distributed across countless star echoes. Observer cannot lock onto a single, true self.
"Definitely upgrade from just forgetting my face," he remarked.
2. Constellation Distortion Field
• Any attempt to analyze the wearer results in Misaligned perception, False conclusion and Delayed cognition.
3. Infinite Star Personas
• Wearer can create Astral Identity (using Star energy).
• Each Persona is recognized by reality; has consistent history and presence; can operate independently too.
"Hmm...Distortion Field seems easy, but Star Personas seems a bit tricky. I will have to try that later." He comnted, moving forward.
[Passive Effects:]
1. Celestial Drift
• The wearer naturally avoids detection and slips through attention.
2. Constellation mory Fracture
• Observer rembers different appearances and encounter.
3. Starpath Resonance
• Provides boost in movent techniques, precision attacks and perception based combat.
"I though only na matched but he made it based on my fighting style," these passive effects only concluded that na StarWalker’s Veil wasn’t just for show.
[Signature Skills:]
1. Unseen Path
• Forces all observers to lose track temporarily [The duration depends on Intelligence and Perception].
2. Astral Step
• Instant movent across small distance [Number of use and distance depends on Agility and Endurance].
3. Constellation Collapse
• Marks multiple enemies as "stars" then collapses their position into one point causing massive impact [Number of use depends on Perception and Mana].
"Attack skill and movent skill alone makes it more than just a mask. I will have to wait till tomorrow before I can check them out." He stated as the mask disappeared from his hands into the inventory.
The next mont he sat up again, his heart beat rising slowly. "This was just the appetizer, now for the main course." He spoke as he ntally clicked on Mythical rank Hunter’s Sovereign Pack for the details.
A panel manifested in front of him with the information:
[Na: Hunter’s Sovereign Pack]
[Type: Starter Package]
[Rank: Mythical]
[Description: The only Mythical complete enhancent set designed to refine a Hunter to peak efficiency across body, mana and combat.]
After reading "Starter Package" any remaining confusion about this pack evaporated from Reyansh’s mind, only firing him up further to see its contents.
[Components:]
– Phase 1 –
1. Sovereign Elixir
2. Endurance Nexus Core
– Phase 2 –
3. Pureflow Core Essence

6. Absolute Instinct
7. Codex of Unwritten Apex
8. Clarity of the Apex

9. Veil of Last Threshold
10. Sigil of the Bound Arsenal
As he went down the list, his heartbeat beco more erratic. He wasn’t reading details about them but just by nas he could sowhat guess their function except few.
Just as he finished reading, "HELL YEAH!!" He exclaid loudly involuntarily and regretted it the next mont.
Covering his mouth, he went out to check if his shouting woke his mother up. After finding no changes in his mother’s condition, his adrenaline dropped a little.
His mother had last woken up two months ago, so he and his sister were just waiting if their mother would wake up anyti soon.
Though the doctors have warned them about forcefully waking her, so they always had to mind not to cause disturbance.
"First thing I am going to do after permanent registration is look for a new doctor. Talk to you soon, mother." He whispered from the edge of the room then turned towards his room.
Before entering the room, he took a page to leave a note for Vanya:
Vanu, I have to do so Hunter’s work, so my room will remain closed until tomorrow. Don’t worry about .
Best Hunter,
Reyansh
He smiled as he left the note outside his room and entered.
After closing the gate, the first thing he did was open CTN.
’I should buy a sound blocker to prevent occurrence of such scenario again. That elixir is probably related to body reconstruction, so I probably would scream again, and not with excitent.’ He thought as he commanded for panel to appear.

– Access the SHOP
After clicking on "Access the SHOP," he searched for sound blockers in search tab. Two options appeared in front of him, one was Uncommon rank and other was Elite rank. He bought the Elite rank item.
[1000 Cosmic Coins are deducted from your balance.]
[Your item is delivered in your inventory.]
’My second purchase from the system,’ he ntally noted the irony of the mont. His first buy was re 7 Cosmic coins, for which he had give his all for three years.
However, now his second item, just 2 days after is 1000 Cosmic coins and he didn’t have to worry about his balance.
A smile of satisfaction appeared on his face he checked the item before using.

[Description: An item made for blocking the sound from going out of 100ft² area.]
[Uses: 5/5]
[How to Use: Place the item in centre of the area you want to block the sound of, then press the button in the centre.]
He placed the square shaped item on the floor just ahead of his bed and activated it. The mont the item activated, Reyansh felt a box forming around him, his perception could map the corners of the box.
’Could be handy,’ he comnted as he sat on the bed again, rubbing his hand in excitent.
"Let’s check the first component," he ntally clicked on the Sovereign Elixir, a panel appeared with information.
[Na: Sovereign Elixir]
[Type: Body Enhancent]
[Rank: Mythical]
[Description: An Elixir that refine the body to the peak of the natural limit.]
[Effects:]
1. Enhance the Physical Stats (Strength, Endurance, Agility) of the body through body reconfiguration.
2. Removes all minor damages to the body.
[Note: Your body will be completely reconstructed causing excruciating pain.]
[Would you like to use the Elixir?]
’This is unexpectedly simple but this pain part, no sugar-coating at all,’ he stated as his brows tensed naturally after reading about pain.
’I hope my pain resistance work.’
’So this is it, huh? After using this my body will be forever changed,’ he looked at his hands and took a deep breath and uttered, "Yes."
A slightly large drop manifested in front of him, surprising him a bit. The intoxicating sweet sll invaded his nose imdiately.
"What! No sophisticated glass bottle?" he wondered aloud seeing the pulsing round drop floating in front of him.
The drop was bit dark red in color with a golden sheen to it. It pulsed like it was alive, the sll alone made it tempting.
"So what to ne..." he couldn’t complete his thought as the large drop suddenly entered Reyansh’s chest leaving a golden streak behind.
He almost defended himself, if he hadn’t known about the benefits of drop beforehand.
For a second nothing happened as Reyansh braced for the pain. However, instead pain, he felt a sound.
BDUMP! BDUMP!
He felt his heart thumping loudly with the sound. The next mont, all his blood vessels started swelling as Reyansh started feeling the pain.
He hoped for his pain resistance to work but a panel appeared, dousing his hope.
[All your Trait spark are inactive while your body undergo reconstruction.]
"Fuck!" he uttered as all the vessel felt like molten lava has been poured into them.
His hands started twitching as blackness covered the eyes of Reyansh along with the unimaginable pain as a scream through the silence of the room.
AARRRRHHHH!!
