Chapter: 3, Hunting in Jungle

Chapter: 3, Jungle and Kill

Noir opened his eyes in the middle of woods with very tall trees. He was lying between Tall grasses. He was wearing a ragged brown top with brown pants. He looked at his surroundings. He again heard a faintly familiar voice.

[Aspirant! Welcome to the Nightmare Spell. Prepare for your First Trial…]

Noir then focused all his attention on 'Status' in his mind. As soon as he focused, shimmering runes appeared in front of him floating in the air. Noir didn't know this language but strangely he understood them very well.

 [Name: Noir.

True Name:--

Rank: Aspirant.

Soul Core: Dormant.

Memories:--

Echoes:--

Attributes: [Fateless], [Endless Regeneration], [Pain Immunity], [Lucky Hunt]

Aspect: [Omnity]

Aspect Rank:???.

Aspect Description: "You Are EVERYTHING.'

"So, [Fateless] is my innate ability?" he then looked at the description of [Fateless].

Attribute: [Fateless].

 Attribute Description: "You are free from the Strings of Fate."

"Of course that's because of my Reincarnation. And this question mark is because my aspect is just way too powerful, isn't it?" Noir said understanding the reason for him being fateless and the question marks.

Noir then looked at his surroundings once again "I need to get out of this forest first." He decided. He then took one way and started walking in that direction.

After a long time traveling the forest was getting dark so Noir climbed a big tree and spent the night there.

In the morning noir again started to walk. After a few moments he found a cave near a small pond. He entered the cave since he cannot die instantly due to his attributes.

Inside the cave Noir found a giant gorilla-like creature twice his size laying there with many deep wounds. The creature looked like it was on the brink of death. There was also a pile of bones and some human belongings behind the creature.

"My [Lucky Hunt] actually works. But how do I kill it?" Noir thought.

Then he noticed a giant rock. Noir quickly picked the giant rock with much difficulty and threw it on the creature's head. As he expected the creature was on the brink of death; it died instantly.

[You have killed an Awakened Beast. Light Ape.]

[You have killed a Dormant Beast. Infant Ape.]

[You have received a Memory: Light Blade]

[You have received a Memory: Unborn Fragment]

[You have received an Echo: Light Ape]

"What? This beast was pregnant? That's good since I got 2 memories and an Echo. [Lucky Hunt] is actually good." Noir thought but suddenly he heard a loud roar coming from out of the Cave.

Noir quickly summoned his light blade. In his hands now was a Blade with blinding light. The cave is illuminated with radiance. He then summoned the echo he received.

Noir got out of the cave with caution. Outside the cave he saw the same gorilla-like creature but its body and fur was all black. "So both of them were mates." Noir thought when he saw a girl at the back of the creature lying unconscious.

He took the initiative to attack. Noir sends his echo first to attack. The creature in front of him was also injured but none were serious. His echo lands the first blow while the beast was standing still; getting out of his daze the beast also started attacking.

While both of the beasts were fighting with each other, Noir took the chance to land a hit on the creature. The blade didn't leave a scratch on the creature's body but after taking the hit it roared loudly in pain. Noir was confused a bit but he quickly realized that his sword only does soul attack.

While the creature was standing still in pain, his echo made its move and grabbed the creature so it couldn't move. Noir quickly took the chance to stab the beast. He then heard the spell whispering.

[You have killed an Awakened Monster: Shadow Ape.]

[You have received a Memory: Shadow Blade.]

[You have received an Echo: Shadow Ape]

"Phew, that is the second Nightmare creature I killed." He took a deep breath and sat on the ground. Noir decided to read the runes while he was taking a rest. Even though he didn't need to.

Everything was just like before but there was a change in the Memory and Echo section.

Memories: [Light Blade], [Unborn Fragment], [Shadow Blade]

Echoes: [Light Beast], [Shadow Beast]

The [Light Beast] was an Awakened Beast while the [Shadow Beast] was an Awakened Monster. Noir then looked at the memories he received.

Memory: [Light Blade]

 Memory Rank: Awakened.

Memory Type: Weapon.

Memory Tier: I.

Memory Enchantments: [Soul Hit]

[Soul Hit] Enchantment Description: "This blade will ignore the physical body and directly hit the Soul."

"Already experienced how it works."

Memory: [Unborn Fragment]

Memory Rank: Dormant.

Memory Type: Storage.

Memory Tier: I.

Memory Enchantment: [Box]

[Box] Enchantment Description: "You can store items in it according to the size of your Soul."

"Storage problem is out of concern." Noir said with a smile.

Memory: [Shadow Blade]

 Memory Rank: Awakened.

Memory Type: Weapon.

Memory Tier: II.

Memory Enchantments: [Sharpness]

[Sharpness] Enchantment Description: "This Blade is sharper than every other blade."

"I can finally cut some meat with this." Noir found his situation funny; others would die to get an awakened memory this early. And here he is who wants to use it to cut meat.

After reading them Noir got near the girl. She was about 15 to 16 years of age, the same age as Noir. Unlike Noir, her hair color was pure white not silver but white and she was wearing a uniform like those in the murim and cultivation manhwas sect disciple would wear. Noir used his attraction just to be safe.

When he was doing that she suddenly opened her eyes. Both of them looked at each other when she mumbled something.

"You…"
