Chapter 59: Passing of time

    <h4>Chapter 59: Passing of time</h4>


    ????????''?? ?????? (?????????? ???? ????????):


    A pair of weary orbs were staring back at me through the bathroom mirror. They were dark—the darkest I''ve ever seen. Mine used to be normal, dark-brown. I didn''t know why my eyes changed.


    Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead.


    Taking a deep inhale, I cupped my hands beneath the rush of tap water.


    The sound of sshing filled the air, droplets cascaded down my face.


    I was currently staying in a luxurious hotel of Baku, my temporary sanctuary before returning to academy.


    I was in a rxed ck cargo pant., my torso, however, was exposed.


    I carefully retrieved a small stone amulet from my pocket—the sris amulet.


    Cradling it in my right palm, I pressed it tightly at the center of my chest.


    "Be ready, Nano."


    [Nano on standby!]


    Earlier, I instructed Nano to abstain from healing me during this very moment—during what was about to happen right now.


    Without any dy, I pushed the stone amulet, feeling its cold against my chest.


    And then, it happened.


    As if awakened from a dormant state, eight legs and a fanged head sprout from the stone amulet. The sris amulet now looked like a spider


    It started crawling around my chest, it felt vibrant and strangely lifelike.


    Exploring my chest for some time, the symbiotic amulet settled itself at the center of my chest.


    ??????????!—It plunged its legs into my flesh.


    "Agh!" An involuntary cry escaped me. But, I steeled my nerves, exerting control against my body''s natural response.


    [Temporarily numbing sensory nerves for immediate relief...]


    Thanks to Nano, the excruciating pain soon disappeared.


    In nicety, the sris amulet—which now looked more like a giant spider, dug its pedipals into my chest, piercing my rib cage and seamlessly aligning its legs to my rib bones.


    With it''s fangs the amulet, cracked the center of my rib, shattering the bones and prating the skin.


    ????????!????????!????????!


    Blood painted my chest red. Despite the absence of pain, a very weird sensation washed over me, causing my eyes to well up with tears.


    The sensation was undeniably bizarre and unsettling, a disgusting blend of unease and sicky. Sore, yet not there. Not painful. Disgusting but...it was hard to tell.


    It started feasting on rest of my flesh at a leisurely pace. The sound of it crunching and tearing my muscles resonating in my ear.


    Having eaten its fill and creating a nightmarish cavity in my chest— the amulet made itselffortable in the gaping hole, melding with the already shattered remnants of what was left in my ribs.


    No longer intact, my chest had a monstrous void, where the amulet imed residence.


    Soon enough, the Sris Amulet began to glow white, enveloping the entire room.


    When the light subsided, I found my chestpletely healed, now devoid of any blood. Gone was the pain, and all that gore.


    [Activating X-ray vision.]


    With X-ray, I checked my ribcage only to see it have vanished—now reced by the Sris Amulet. The spider amulet itself was holding my ribs together. It''s legs working as my rib bones.


    And surprisingly, there was no pain.


    Now, the Sris Amulet itself was a part of me, akin to a symbiotic presence, working in harmony with my being.


    "Heh, nice!" I chuckled to myself, sudden excitement coursing through my veins.


    With intent, I activated the Sris Amulet.


    In that very moment, a burning golden armor, which seemed to be made of pure energy—sma or electromaic waves, electricity, couldn''t tell...but that materialized in my torso, starting from the middle of my chest and growing everywhere, embracing my torso whole.


    "Heh! This feels like some high tech gadget more than an ancient artifact."


    This was Sris armour, an indestructible armor—forget piercing, no weapon in this universe can even make a scratch in it''s surface. And by no weapon, I mean no weapon. Or atleast that''s what it is supposed to be. I never wrote the mysteries and their powers in details. I just roughly added them in manuscript to upload in the novelter.


    The weight of the armor was practically nonexistent, as light as a feathery breath of air.


    Just as I marveled at my new power, a holographic notification popped before me, disturbing my moment of enjoyment.


    [Congrattions, you have unlocked another mystery! A-] "Hut! Fuck off," I swatted the message away dismissively.


    "Status."

    __________________________


    As I expected, Sris Amulet boosted my strength, health and even my charm stats.


    Other than that my secondary stats were abnormally high, thanks to Nano


    Curiosity piqued, I checked the info of Sris amulet


    ------------------------------------


    Sris Amulet: A divine armor bestowed with the power to withstand any and all forms of attacks. It is unbreakable, impervious to the mightiest of forces in the universe. The user hasplete control over activating and deactivating the armour.


    Additional properties:


    1) Discarding the Sris armor grants the user the Sris Arrow – a formidable weapon capable of binding enemies for a duration of 10 seconds. Regardless of the enemy''s strength, once bound by the Sris arrow, they are immobilized, rendered powerless. But, this ability can only be used once every 3 hours.


    2)The Sris Amulet continuously enhances the user''s charm stats over time, increasing their charisma and allure.


    3) In addition to its defensive capabilities, when discarded, the Sris Amulet can also function as a protective force field. However, thises at the cost of rendering the Sris Arrow unusable.


    4)When exposed to direct sunlight, the armor''s abilities are amplified, elevating the user''s powers to one-tenth of their original magnificence.


    -----------------------------------


    "Damn, this thing ispletely busted!"


    I had intentionally modeled the Sris Amulet taking inspiration from the legends of Karn''s Kavach and Kundal from the epic Mahabhrat.


    Of course, I had nerfed down its abilities and its appearance was vastly different, but even with these modifications, it was still broken


    During the great war of Mahabhrat, when Karn selflessly relinquished his armor, he was granted a powerful arrow by Lord Indra. Drawing inspiration from this pivotal event, I had fashioned the Sris Arrow.


    Nevertheless, I had to acknowledge that it was indeed a broken piece of equipment, far surpassing my intended specifications.


    "Not that I mind, haha" I chuckled to myself.


    The first step of my preparation was nowplete.


    Now, all that remained was to finish engineering the Neuroshock ster before the Genova incident.


    "Oh, shouldn''t the unit test being up?" I thought aloud, a forgotten task suddenly resurfacing in my thoughts.


    But then again, studying was hardly a concern for me.


    After all, who needs to study when you can just cheat?
