Chapter 61: Passing of ti
Noah's POV (point of view):
Shrrrr!—
Staring into the bathroom mirror, I was t with the image of my weary face.
Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead.
Taking a long-awaited inhale, I cupped my hands beneath the rush of tap water—Shrrrr!-Fruuu!
Splash-Splash!—The sound of splashing filled the air, as droplets cascaded down my face.
I was currently staying in a luxurious hotel in Baku, my temporary sanctuary before returning to the Academy.
It costed about 7000 Dens for a single night, but the allure of its five-star elegance seed justifiable.
For reference I was wearing a black, relaxed-fit cotton cargo pant.,
The upper part of my torso, however, remained exposed.
I carefully retrieved a small stone amulet from my pocket—the [Solaris Amulet].
Cautiously, I brought it forth, cradling it in the palm of my right hand, and pressed it firmly against the center of my chest.
"Nano, get ready", I commanded.
[Nano on standby..]
Earlier, I had specifically instructed Nano to abstain from healing during this mont—during what was going to happen right now.
Without a mont's delay, I exerted more force upon the Solaris Amulet, feeling its cool surface against my skin.
And then, it happened.
As if awakened from a dormant state, eight legs and a small fanged head erged from the stone amulet, sprouting forth —the amulet transford —it's shape resembled a gigantic spider.
Tk-tk-tk-tk—It started crawling around my chest, its movents felt vibrant and strangely lifelike.
Exploring my chest with its agile limbs for so ti, the symbiotic amulet settled itself in the center of my chest—making itself comfortable.
Chuck!—It plunged its eight legs into my flesh.
"Agh!", an involuntary cry escaped my lips. But, I steeled my resolve, exerting control over my body's natural responses.
[Temporarily numbing sensory nerves for imdiate relief]
Thanks to the intervention of Nano, the excruciating pain that gripped soon disappeared, offering a relief from the pain.
With precise calculation, the Solaris Amulet—which now looked more like a gigantic spider, firmly planted its legs into my chest, piercing my delicate rib cage and seamlessly aligning its legs with my rib bones.
Using it's fanged mouth the amulet gradually cracked the center of my rib, shattering the bones and penetrating the skin.
Drip—Drip—Drip
Blood dripped down my chest painting my entire torso red.
Despite the absence of pain, an inexplicable sensation washed over , causing my eyes to well up with tears.
The sensation was undeniably bizarre and unsettling, a disconcerting blend of unease and strangeness.
Using it's spider like fanged head, it proceeded to consu rest of my flesh at a leisurely pace.
Ktrstksthskr—the sound of it crunching and tearing my flesh was echoing in my ear.
Having consud its fill and creating a nightmarish cavity within my chest, the amulet made itself comfortable within the gaping hole, lding with the shattered frawork of my rib bones.
No longer intact, my chest bore witness to a monstrous void, where the amulet had taken residence.
Gradually, the Solaris Amulet emitted a vibrant white light, enveloping the entire room.
As the radiance subsided, I found my chest completely healed, devoid of any trace of blood.
[Activating X-ray vision]
With X-ray vision, I was able to perceive that the central section of my ribcage had vanished, replaced by the Solaris Amulet, effectively holding my ribs together.
And surprisingly, there was no pain.
Now, the Solaris Amulet had beco an intrinsic part of , akin to a symbiotic presence, working in harmony with my being.
"Heh, nice," I chuckled to myself, a sense of excitent coursing through my veins.
With intent, I activated the Solaris Amulet.
In an otherworldly display, a radiant golden armor, which seed to be made of pure energy began to materialize in my torso, starting from my chest.
"Heh!", a grin ford on my lips, a reflection of the exhilaration bubbling within .
This was Solaris Amulet, an indestructible armor—forget piercing, no weapon in this world can even make a scratch in it's surface.
The weight of the armor was practically nonexistent, as light as a feathery breath of air.
Just as I marveled at my new found power, a holographic notification appeared before , disrupting my mont of awe.
[System Notification: Congratulations, you have unlocked another mystery! A legendary achievent!]
I swatted the notification away dismissively, as if it were a re nuisance, unworthy of my attention.
Inhaling a deep breath I muttered, "Status."

____________________________
As I expected Solaris Amulet boosted my strength, health and even my charm stats..
Other than that my secondary stats were abnormally high..'Must be because of Nano' , I pondered.
Curiosity piqued, I tapped the hovering holograph displaying the na [Solaris Amulet], and without hesitation, a comprehensive array of information materialized before my eyes.
--------------------------------------
Solaris 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 has complete control over activating and deactivating the Solaris Amulet.
Additional properties:
1) Discarding the Solaris armor grants the user the Solaris Arrow – a formidable weapon capable of binding enemies for a duration of 10 seconds. Regardless of the enemy's strength, once bound by the Solaris Arrow, they are immobilized, rendered powerless. However, this ability can only be used once every 3 hours.
2) The Solaris Amulet continuously enhances the user's charm stats over ti, increasing their charisma and allure.
3) In addition to its defensive capabilities, when discarded, the Solaris Amulet can also function as a protective force field. However, this cos at the cost of rendering the Solaris 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 is completely busted!"
I had intentionally modeled the Solaris Amulet after the legendary 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 Solaris Arrow.
Sigh~
Nevertheless, I sighed, acknowledging that it was indeed a broken piece of equipnt, far surpassing my intended specifications.
"Not that I mind, haha" I chuckled to myself.
The first step of my preparation was complete - I had successfully acquired the Solaris Amulet.
Now, all that remained was to finish engineering the Neuroshock blaster before the impending Genova incident.
Anticipating my return to the academy tomorrow, my mind drifted towards the future, already beginning to form plans and strategies.
"Oh, shouldn't our unit test be coming up in about a week?" I pondered aloud, a forgotten task suddenly resurfacing in my thoughts.
But then again, studying was hardly a concern for .
After all, who needs to study when you can just cheat?
