shadow slave: Avatar of Apocalypse Chapter 12 12: Memories

Heading toward his room in the higher levels, an area reserved for legacies like him, Senrix opened the door and imdiately saw how extravagant it was.

The room held a bed with a soft mattress, a polished table, a sturdy dresser, and even a separate bathroom.

The materials were new and aesthetically pleasing, and the air inside felt crisp and sterile.

It was warm, and the outer wall was fitted with a hidden screen that seamlessly imitated a wide window, opening onto a picturesque vista of a snowy park.

Several sets of clothes bearing the Academy emblem had also been provided.

Changing into his new academy uniform, Senrix looked at himself in the mirror and took in his sharp features.

"Truly, such an extravagant piece of art should be in a museum," Senrix joked, smiling faintly.

He had already removed the mask he'd been wearing earlier, right after entering the room.

"Oh, right," he muttered, suddenly rembering sothing. He opened his runes and focused on his two mories.

mory: [Crimson Engine]

mory Rank: Awakened

mory Tier: III

mory Type: Armor

mory Description: [forged in the dying breath of a Kingdom renowned for its peerless artisans and blacksmiths, this relic is their final masterpiece. It was wrought in steel and wrath before the tide of abominations ca, an endless host marched forth beneath the shadow of a titan whose head scraped the heavens. Noe it waits, hungry for blood and war.]

mory Enchantnt:

[Living Iron] - The armor knits itself back together when broken, feeding on ambient essence. If the core is shattered, the nding stops.

[Feast of evolution] - It rembers the blood and essence it drinks, slowly reshaping itself. Each change is final, and not always kind.

[Tempest Wings] - Plates unfurl into iron wings. They bear the wielder to the sky and strike like blades when folded against a foe.

[Ember Heart] - Fla gathers in the gauntlets and boots, spewing forth in hungry bursts. The longer it waits, the fiercer it burns.

[Storm's Breath] - Air is drawn and compressed within the armor, then released as crushing gusts that can scatter n and stone alike.

[Blood Oath] - The armor will not wake without the taste of the wielder's blood. This binds flesh to steel, and in return grants a surge of crimson strength—though the price is paid in life.

[Crimson Arsenal] - The gauntlets fold and unfold into blades, hooks, and spears at will. No two fights see the sa weapon drawn.

Looking over the enchantnts, Senrix couldn't help but smile.

[Crimson Engine] was far stronger than most mories of the sa rank.

After thinking for a mont on how to use [Crimson Engine] he moved on to his other mory.

mory: [Flask of Eternal Well]

mory Rank: Awakened

mory Tier: II

mory Type: Tool

mory Description: [Crafted by a thirsting hermit who wandered the desert for a hundred years, this vessel was his only companion. It never ran dry, even when the sands swallowed every oasis. Now it waits for another wanderer.]

Enchantnts:

[Endless Source] - The flask holds an infinite well of pure water. It can be drained continuously for up to one hour before running dry. Once emptied, it refills itself in the span of a few minutes.

[Unbroken Seal] - The flask is immune to cracking, shattering, and corrosion. No poison or curse can taint what it holds.

"It's like the mory Cassia owned," Senrix comnted as he flopped onto the bed.

He was tired and sleepy.

He'd gone straight to the Academy after waking from his nightmare, and that nightmare had taken a heavy toll on his mind.

The phantom pain still lingered in his left arm.

He never thought he would one day willingly choose to sleep on his own, instead of letting the world decide for him.

After all, that was what he'd always done in his past life.

After waking up an hour later, he stretched for a short while then began to go towards the office where he is gonna be interviewed, he had only even woke up because his communicator kept buzzing.

After entering, Senrix was asked about his nightmare after asking for his na.

"I'd say it is quite hard, very short but very hard." Senrix answered to the woman's question.

"I see, how many nightmare creature did you kill and what rank?"

"A lot, and two of them are stronger than normal" Senrix did not lie, if 91 nightmare creatures were not a lot and awakened devil and awakened terror are not stronger than normal, he would have to start questioning the interviewer,

She was a little suspicious when Senrix said that, but after the lie detector said that it was True, she left it be.

"Would you share what appraisal did you get?"

"Glorious, your spite truly knows no bounds."

She was stunned, afterall she didn't expect Senrix to say the whole appraisal itself, it took a long ti before she recovered and asked another question.

"Would you be willing to share your aspect and it's rank?"

"It's a heavily combat-focused one, it's above transcendent"

As soon as Senrix said that, her eyes widened, mouths agape, above transcendent aspects are very rare and are rarely known to the public due to the holder being scared that they will have a problem.

"I see... Have you received a true na?" After recovering, she breathed for a bit then asked another question, this ti disinterested, it looked like it is only a routine question.

"Yes"

Once again, she was shocked, who wouldn't? Senrix had an aspect that is heavily combat-focused and is above transcendent.

"Can you tell ?" She asked after once again breathing in and out as Senrix answered.

"Avatar of apocalypse"

As soon as Senrix said that she was a little bewildered on what that true na an, then she just asked about so very boring questions like what mories did he gain, which Senrix didn't answer, that was his last hidden card, why would he reveal it?

After the interview, Senrix headed back towards his room, he seed to be the last to be interviewed as he noticed that there was no one waiting outside.

As soon as he arrived to his room, he didn't even changed clothes or take a shower, he just plopped to the bed and slept throughout the entire day like that.

After waking up early in the morning, Senrix took a shower and brushed his teeth and go towards the cafeteria with his mask on his face.

It was safe to say that many sleepers were attracted by the fact on why such a huge guy would wear a mask to hide his face, surely he couldn't possibly be that ugly right?

He took his order from yesterday and sat Infront of Nephis, he began to eat after moving his mask a little upwards still hiding his face but now exposing his mouth.

This only raised the confusion of the sleepers looking at him, why would he wear a mask when he looked like he had a quite handso face?
