1404 I am intimidated by him?
“Hwa!” Nux’s whole body flinched as he woke up.
He looked around and suddenly, he found himself in an unknown room.
No, it wasn’t unknown… it was a room that Nux had forgotten…
After all, it had been 1000 years since he last saw this room and even when he saw the room, he was only here for a few hours.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that Nux knew that he was entering the illusion, he wouldn’t even remember where this place was.
However, thinking about all this, Nux couldn’t help but notice something.
“The Illusion skipped my child phase huh…”
He started thinking.
“Is it because my subconscious knows that the ‘child’ Nux was not me? And since Yrniel shouldn’t know about Earth… my life didn’t start from Earth.”
Nux reached a conclusion, soon however, he noticed a Flaw in his conclusion, “But I know about Earth, don’t I? Why didn’t it create Earth from my perspective? Is both my perspective and Yrniel’s information needed for the Illusion to show something?” Nux wondered and soon, he got an answer.
“That’s not it, Lilith said that [Core] was available because the Illusion can use my memories to create it. Then why am I not on Earth…?”
Nux frowned as he started thinking.
Normally, he would have skipped thinking and moved on, right now however, he needed to understand how this ‘world’ worked. He believed that it would be advantageous for him in the future.
He continued to think for a while and soon,
He came up with a theory,
“I abandoned what I was back on Earth.”
He muttered, this was the only plausible conclusion he could reach.
Nu- no, James Miller on earth died.
He was not James Miller, he was Nux Leander and although memories of James Miller did help him become what he was today, the fact is, James Miller was dead and it was something his subconscious had long accepted.
Thinking about all this, Nux closed his eyes, then, after taking a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face and, “I have a feeling that this would be quite an eye-opening journey.”
He spoke confidently as he started looking at his own body. He had lost all his muscles, unlike before, when his body was filled with endless strength, the only thing he could feel right now was pain… Pain all over his body, especially from the bruises on his body.
Of course, a pain like this wasn’t something that would make him frown.
Sure, he was in the past, but now, he was a man who had been through hell called Vyriana’s training, his threshold of pain was much higher than any other being here.
Nux chuckled as he finally stood up from the bed, walking towards the mirror at the corner of the room.
Seeing his reflection,
‘Fuck, I am still handsome.’ He chuckled inwardly.
He couldn’t help but recall how excited he was when he first saw himself in the mirror all those years ago. Adjusting his dirty robes, he sighed, then, he picked the leftover fruits on the table and ate them to satiate his hunger, even if the difference it made was close to nothing.
Then, he stretched his body, getting used to the differences slowly, he was already used to the pain, honestly, at this point, he couldn’t even feel it because of how insignificant it was, however, moving was still difficult.
After all, this body was too weak, even weaker than a normal mortal’s.
Nux, who was used to his own body which was an absurdity in its own way, was obviously having a difficult time adjusting to his ‘new’ body.
‘Tsk.’
He snorted inwardly, still moving his arms and legs around.
Knock Knock Knock
Suddenly, Nux heard a knock.
He glanced at the door.
‘They are here.’
Smash
‘And they are just as rude I remember.’
He spoke as he noticed how the door was slammed open and 3 rough-looking guys came in.
“…”
Nux stared at the three men in silence.
“Have you decided to come with us?” the scar-faced man questioned.
“…”
Nux stayed silent.
Obviously, he knew where he was being taken away, it was a place where his life would change and he would meet his first wife.
A smile appeared on his face as he thought about it.
As to decide whether he would go with them or not?
He had more than enough time to think about his actions inside the illusion, he had planned out most of the things in his mind.
The leader frowned at the lack of answer, he glanced at his subordinates and as he noticed the same confused expression on their faces, he turned back to Nux and raised his left eyebrow.
“I will ask again, have you decided to come with us?” He asked again, this time, his tone a little heavier than before.
“Yes.”
Nux nodded.
He knew he should not interact with his wives in the illusion, however, he didn’t have a choice in the matter.
The System awakened because he met Faustina, he didn’t know why it happened, his theory was that it sensed his ‘desire’ for the woman, something that the previous Nux never had since he was scared of women.
He didn’t know whether his theory was correct or not and it didn’t matter either.
He simply wanted to awaken his System and to do that, he needed to meet Felberta Alveye.
On the other hand, the leader, the scar-faced man was shocked by his answer, he didn’t think that Nux would agree to his ‘request’ so easily, but soon, his face returned to normal and he nodded.
He then threw a glass vial towards Nux.
“Dri-”
Before he could even complete his words, Nux caught the vial and drank it.
The healing potion worked, healing all his bruises.
The scar-faced man seemed surprised at his calm reaction, in most cases, when mortals drink the Healing Potion for the first time, they are shocked by its effect, the man in front of him, however, seemed used to it.
Rather… thinking about it, the man seemed completely different than before, he didn’t know how to say it… He seemed more… intimidating.
‘Intimidating?’
The scar-faced man frowned, confused by his own choice of word.
‘I am intimidated by him?’
He couldn’t believe the ridiculousness of the situation.
