Chapter: 7 Farewell and What??
It was early in the morning.
"What!!" Noir Exclaimed "What do you mean My Nightmare will end in a few moments?" he asked, after all he didn't even do anything.
[Host. Your goal of the first nightmare was to make sure the True Child of Nightmare is safe. And since you have gifted her [Endless Regeneration] her safety is guaranteed. In other words, your purpose here is already over.
Now you have to give her the necessary items you want to give her as soon as you can. You will be transported back in about half an hour.]
"Hold on! What do you mean by the True Child of Nightmare?" Noir asked with a puzzled look, it couldn't be what he was thinking, right?
[Yes, you heard it right. The person you have been basically r***ng a while ago is the Actual biological Child of the Nightmare Spell.]
Noir gulped hard hearing that, after all, what he feared the most in his previous life came true in this life. And that was to be caught by his girlfriend's parents after doing the deed in their house. If he ever had one, not to mention he was a pure virgin and didn't have a single girlfriend.
Now, Noir was worried about his future, after all how can he use the spell in the future when he fucked its daughter. Noir said incredulously "Thank god the spell won't know anything that happened here, or I would be done for." At that moment he received a system prompt.
[Host, the spell needs an evaluation to evaluate your skills. So the system already gave the spell a detailed report about what happened including you sleeping with its only child.
You might be wondering why she wasn't mentioned in the book you read and that's because it's a different timeline.]
"In short, I am already doomed." he sighed and took a tired expression in his face. He then quickly started wearing his clothes and in the meantime selected things from the system to give Cecilia. He selected mostly important things and peak rank battle arts for her.
After giving her the thing he gently moved her to wake her up.
"haaah…" she woke up with a soft moan and looked at him rubbing her eyes. "What is it?" she asked, sitting on the makeshift bed fully naked, Noir's little brother could hardly control himself. "Hmm? Want to do it again? But why are you wearing your clothes?" she asked one after one with a teasing smile.
Noir kissed her on the forehead and said with a sad expression "I am leaving." When she heard him she got worried and asked reluctantly "w-will we meet again? C-Can't you just not go? How long until we meet again?" faced with her continuous questions Noir kissed her on the lips and said softly with a reassuring smile.
"I need to go but don't worry, we'll definitely meet again even though you have waited for at least four thousand years. You have to survive and be well until we meet again." Cecilia turned silent since she couldn't stop him, but she felt a deep feeling that she couldn't survive without him.
She couldn't help but ask with a sad look on her face "How will I find you after all those years?" when Noir said they will meet again she believed they would meet again but how can she find him after all those years.
"About that, all you have to do is ask your father… or is it your mother? Anyway, ask him about my location for exactly four thousand years and he should be able to tell me my location on Earth." He said with an awkward smile.
Cecilia, shocked, asked him "You know about her? How?" there was no one who actually knew about her mother, even in the temple. She was sure that he wasn't an ordinary runaway slave. But if he knew about her mother then he must be someone very extraordinary.
"Yeah, you can also say that she from the future hired me to come here and save you in this time." He told her what was practically the truth. If he needed to ensure her safety then she would be dead in the future and when the Spell found a chance, it asked him to save Cecilia.
[Host you will return in a minute please hurry up.]
"Okay it's time for us to part. I hope to see you well when we meet once again." He pulled her closer and kissed her lips as he transferred his storage memory which held all of the meat he collected, and heard the spell whispering in his ears with what felt like an angry voice.
[Your Memory has been destroyed]
Cecilia looked shocked upon receiving the memory. Then suddenly his body started to turn into small sparks of light. Cecilia panicked and quickly grabbed him and gave him a kiss as noir felt current running through their lips. He heard the spell ringing in his ears.
[You have received a Memory: Parting Gift.]
[Wake up, Noir! Your nightmare is over.]
[Prepare for appraisal…]
Noir found himself in a space between dream and reality. It was just like the novel described it to be. While he was waiting for the spell to appraise his performance he looked at the memory he received from Cecilia at the last moment.
Memory: [Parting Gift]
Memory Rank: Awakened.
Memory Type: Armor.
Memory Tier: V
Memory Enchantments:
[Waiting] Enchantment Description: "The Longer you wear it, the better Protection you will receive." [Shapeless] Enchantment Description: "It shapes itself the way its wearer wants."
Noir just smiled at the runes without saying anything. A mere awakened rank Memory somehow became very close to his heart. He stared at the runes before he was interrupted by the spell.
[Aspirant! Your trial is over.]
[An Embodiment of Everything survived the Deity Forest while rescuing the Offspring of a Divine Being even in its weakest form. Every insignificant being falls through your hands.]
[Final appraisal: Glorious. Your Presence is too significant to be appraised.]
"What?" he said with a bewildered expression. His mere presence was enough for the spell to give him a glorious evaluation, how strong his aspect is? He was thinking when he heard the spell.
[Dreamer Noir, Please receive your boon!]
Noir was a bit uncomfortable with the spell specifically saying 'please' to him.
[You have Discovered Your True Name: Deity.]
[You have received an Innate Ability: [Enemy's Nightmare]
Ability Description: [Anyone you consider your enemy will have their overall powers reduced by 2/3 of the original after getting injured by you.]
Noir was overjoyed. He was sure to receive a true name but if that turned out to be a lame one, he couldn't even change it. So, he was left praying that his true name would be a good one. And it turned out to be way better than he expected. And his 2nd innate ability makes sure he kills his opponent.
[The First Seal is broken.]
[Awakening dormant powers…]
[You have received an Aspect Legacy: Soul space.]
As the spell spoke Noir felt something burning through his chest but didn't feel as much pain as the MC when he was going through that. Because it was his [Pain Immunity] attribute that helped him negate the pain. But he was still feeling he could feel extreme strength coursing through his body.
After a while the burning feeling in his chest cooled down and was replaced by something extraordinary. Soon he automatically entered his soul sea and saw a whole plain of green land and lively sky with some trees here and there. He couldn't find his soulcore anywhere. Then it dawned on him and he looked at the sky finding a shining bright sun, it was nothing else but his soulcore.
Noir couldn't help but feel overjoyed at the first aspect of the legacy he received. It was beautiful and almost everything a person needed to survive could be seen here. Every natural structure including mountains, rivers, forests and land. He could simply farm his own food in here to always eat healthy and delicious food.
Deciding to think it about later, the spell brought him back out.
[Awakening Aspect Ability…]
Noir prayed that his 1st aspect ability would be something op or how he can face the other extra protagonists as an extra himself, even though the main story will change because of him.
[Aspect Ability acquired.]
[Aspect Ability Name: Copy.]
Noir excitedly summoned the runes. He definitely has an op ability. He read them carefully one by one.
Name: Noir.
True Name: Deity.
Soul Core: Dormant.
Soul Fragments: [6/1000].
'Ok not that bad. I can solve the problem with my soul fragments easily." He said then looked at the others.
Memories: [Light Blade], [Shadow Blade], [Parting Gift].
Echoes: [Light Beast], [Shadow Beast].
Attribute: [Fateless], [Endless Regeneration], [Pain Immunity], [Lucky Hunt]
Aspect: [Infinity]
Aspect Rank: ???.
Aspect Ability: [Copy]
Aspect Ability Description: [You can Copy Anyone's Abilities within the same rank or below.]
Noir was overjoyed. He actually got the most broken ability, and thank god he didn't have any restrictions. With his 1st innate ability he could use every ability without any consequences. While he was being happy the spell spoke.
[All power has a price.]
[You have received a Flaw.]
[Your Flaw is: …]
After reading it Noir was stunned.
"What!"
