Chapter 80: Void Nyx
I emerged from the dungeon gate with the group of noble students, Zed, and Valeria.
The bright light of the academy grounds was a stark contrast to the dark, chaotic dimension we had just left behind.
The students, though shaken, seemed relieved that the ordeal was over.
A few even managed grateful glances in my direction, acknowledging the role I had played in keeping them alive.
One of the teachers approached the group, a satisfied smile on his face.
"The exam is over," he announced.
"All of you have successfully completed the test. Your next challenge will be to prepare for the academy's curriculum."
I nodded and exchanged quick farewells with Zed and Valeria before heading home.
It had been a long and tiring day, and I wanted nothing more than to rest.
The adrenaline from the fight had worn off, leaving my muscles heavy with exhaustion.
Once back home, I took a deep breath as the familiar surroundings brought me some peace.
I immediately opened my system interface to allocate the new stat points I had earned from the dimension gate.
My eyes flickered across the holographic display as the system chimed in.
Ding!
~25 unallocated stat points available.~
~Arcane Energy:+100 added ( Total: 4700).~
~Item: Incubator for hatching beast egg.~
I quickly choose to assigned the points, deciding to spread them evenly across my stats.
My power was growing rapidly, and I needed to keep my balance in check to make sure I wasn't vulnerable in any area.
~Level 65~
~Strength: 87 → 92 (+5)~
~Agility: 99 (+5)~
~Endurance: 83 → 88 (+5)~
~Intelligence: 68 → 73 (+5)~
~Arcane Energy Reserves: 4700~
~Memory: 59 (+5)~
Satisfied with the new distribution of my points, I closed the system interface and leaned back, my mind already racing toward the next day.
My thoughts briefly lingered on the egg I had been keeping since the last mission.
The void egg. Something about it felt different, more significant than any of my other pet eggs.
The next morning arrived, bringing with it the promise of something new.
I sat outside with my siblings, Percy and Jackson, both of whom were excited for what was about to happen.
His two pets, Pyro and Cryo, were also present, lying lazily on the grass, watching with interest.
The sun bathed the small yard in warm light as they gathered around the egg.
"This is it, huh?" Percy asked, his eyes wide with anticipation.
"Yeah," I replied, pulling out the One-Time Use Egg Incubator I had received as a reward.
I carefully placed the void egg into the incubator, watching as it began to glow with an ethereal light.
The incubator hummed softly, its energy rapidly accelerating the hatching process.
Everyone watched in silence as cracks began to form along the surface of the dark, swirling egg.
The void energy that surrounded it pulsed in rhythm with the earth itself, creating a strange yet powerful presence.
Within moments, the shell shattered, releasing a brilliant surge of black and violet light.
From the remnants of the egg, a creature slowly emerged. Its form was sleek, almost shadow-like, with dark, smooth fur that shimmered like the night sky.
Its eyes were a deep, swirling violet, glowing with an otherworldly power.
The creature had wings that seemed to fade in and out of existence, and its body was both solid and intangible, as though it existed between worlds.
My system immediately kicked in, identifying the creature.
Ding!
~System Notification:~
~New Arcane Pet Hatched: [Void Lynx]~
~Level: Grade Three~
~Type: Void Beast~
~Skills: Void Step: The Void Lynx can step through dimensions, becoming untouchable for short periods, allowing it to bypass physical barriers and evade attacks.
Void Slash: A dimensional attack that rends the fabric of space, striking enemies with unavoidable force.
Shadow Cloak: The Void Lynx can blend into the surrounding environment, becoming invisible and undetectable for a limited time.
Dimensional Sense: The ability to perceive rifts, gates, and hidden dimensions that others cannot sense, giving it heightened awareness in any environment.~
I blinked in surprise as he read through the system's description. The Void Lynx was even more powerful and versatile than I had expected.
It was a creature tied to space and dimensions, much like my own growing powers.
It would be a valuable companion in the battles ahead, especially as my challenges grew more dangerous.
"Whoa, it's so cool!" Jackson exclaimed, leaning in closer to get a better look at the new pet.
"I've never seen anything like it," Percy added, his eyes sparkling with admiration. "It's like a shadow, but it's real."
I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and anticipation. Both of you name the Fen and whity.
Now it's my time to name. So....
"Its name will be... Nyx," He decided, choosing a name that felt fitting for a creature of the void. "She'll be an important ally for us."
Fen and Whity both seemed curious, eyeing Nyx as she gracefully padded over to my side.
Despite her ghostly appearance, Nyx's movements were smooth and fluid, as if she were moving through an entirely different plane of existence.
"Don't worry," I said, stroking Nyx's head gently. "She's one of us now."
With the Void Lynx by my side, I knew my journey was far from over.
My power was growing, but so were the challenges.
And now, with this new creature born from the void itself, I had an even greater edge in my quest to uncover the truth about his parents and the mysterious dimensions they were tied to.
As the sun cast its first rays over the sprawling grounds of RAA: Cindralock, I stood by my dorm window, watching the light filter through the campus's ancient trees.
It was the beginning of my second semester, and the events of the past months played in my mind like a reel..
The fights, the discoveries, the friendships, and the shadows that lurked in every corner of his journey so far.
