Held onto his forearms, the pain he felt a piercing sharp flesh splitting, pain crashed upon him.
He couldn't even focus on it as he spilled tears from his skull boiling, his grit teeth exposed, then he curled into himself.
The heat kept a presence as he tried to rationalize, he kept on trying to pull at string's and tied it tight.
This was the worst backlash from this ability he had ever experienced.
He stayed in that state...
For too long...
Took to much damage...
And he didn't regret it.
–––
Null stood, stumbling as he sat on his bed, then just sat on the floor, his back too the bed. He raised his arms, he looked at it, checked it, felt it but, there was nothing there the pain gone...
So suddenly...
But expected, but it left him in an cautious state.
He sat there quietly...
And decided to go bathe.
–––––
Exiting the bathroom with comfortable clothes he sat on his bed then, pulled up the notifications he ignored.
[Abnormalities found in the brain]
[Warning!!]
[Mental strain evident]
[You're pain sensor's have been cut off]
[Your optical sensors has been enhanced]
[Senses stat pulse 10 percent]
[Senses stat pulse 1.5 = Senses 16.5]
[Intelligence stat pulse 10 percent]
[Intelligence stat pulse 2 = Intelligence 22]
[Abnormalities not found]
[Your state back to normal]
Null just stared at it with a raised brow.
"So it's a percentage amplifier, that makes sense why I'm able to think so fast and perceive things slower... maybe they might be a amplifier ability that adds on or multiples my stats, but this is a dependent amplifier so as long as i keep growing it's amplification will grow too so I'm pretty satisfied." Null rambled on.
He then began to continue on reading lower and lower. The damage he took and...
An increase in stats?
[Your body has been tempered]
[2 plus to Endurance]
[27 Endurance]
Null looked at this as he remembered the damage he sustained.
Multiple cuts across his body.
His arm pierced deep by a arrow.
His elbow damaged.
His thigh and ankle pierced.
He looked at the notifications with a numb expression.
'Two stat points can still help a great deal it might of made me tough enough not to be... easily cut by the wind current like before... but their still going to cut at me, thin or not without the ability I'm going to feel a bunch of stings across my body.' Null reason, trying to put worth to two points in his perspective.
[Your Will has been tempered]
[5 plus to Will]
[26 Will]
Nice... wait what does Will do exactly.
[Will ...this is a specific stat that increases your resistance to mental attack's and give's you the ability to disperse the mental interference. It can stream with other stats to give you the ability to push passed your restrictions the your brain put's on your body, your Intelligence stat increase's the restriction on your body but giving you a good control on the accessible aspect's. It increase's your ability to push forward with injured, fatigued, dazed, disoriented and etc.]
Null, was surprised by the utility of the Stat.
"Wait... If i get it high enough will it give me a type of pain tolerance high enough that my abilities backlash would become... decent..."
If so with how high my strength is, Dexterity and and Will, would be first priority and painfully... he would be able to increase his Endurance if he wanted to or not. Why?
Because the enemies his facing are going to land hits, that hurt, really hurt.
So it will passively grow... and if not?
When his strength grows to the point where his body can't handle it... he will use his full strength breaking himself and growing from it.
"Anyways, let's see my stats."

'So i don't get Exp from Hibeon being defeated by Ezze...' He thought 'How... unfortunate.'
Null than thought of how easily he was handled by Hibeon, when he lossed the advantage of being underestimated, he was basically helpless when Hibeon used his ability with a weapon than switching back.
"I should probably get familiar against armed Meta, but if it's a armed human i will be able to handle them, but that depends if their armed with normal weaponry or beast weaponry..." Then Null pondered "Should i learn how to wield a weapon?"
He shook his head.
That would not be a good idea...
Why? Can't he just use the weapon handling card?
Yes... but it wouldn't be a good idea.
If he were to waste it now, he might of chose a weapon he wouldn't of... matched with.
The why he fought partially depended, on the weapon. Basically it would not be the best idea...
Atleast that was what he thought...
Then there was two other questions he had stuck in his head.
Why did his body heal faster than normal?
Probably because of the system, but he wanted to make sure.
Then the second question was...
Why was Lumina... Weak?
He was injured... then healed meaning he was physically well, at his best...no. He was probably exhausted.
But...
Why was he, close to helpless against Sira?
Then Null realized.
Lumina didn't use his ability.
Then Null kept thinking more deeply...
Lumina was able to handle three Meta's by himself and he before that he battered another.
Then he remembered at the end of the fight with Sira.
Lumina's shacking glowing fist...
