I Can Program My Body?

Soon,having mastered all the basic elemental runic languages available in the Nova library, Nash began to ponder how to engrave them.

Studying and engraving them were entirely different matters.

Runic language was a dynamic substance that shifted with every minute change in the environment.

Not wanting to waste a perfect quality weapon, Nash first tested it on a piece of stone.

Since the stele could hold its engraving, a stone should pose no problem.

Concentrating void energy in his finger, he began to engrave the runic language for 'harden.'

Boom!

Suddenly, halfway through the engraving, the block of stone exploded.

"What happened?" Nash muttered, startled.

Opening the [Memory Module System], Nash reviewed where he had gone wrong.

After a few minutes of analyzing the replay, studying the changes in the runic program within the stone, Nash quickly understood.

As he engraved 'harden,' the stone's runic program began to fluctuate and shift in properties.

The further the engraving progressed, the more it fluctuated.

Because Nash worked against these changes, the stone exploded midway through the 'harden' engraving.

"So I need to adapt the engraving based on the changes in the runic program!"

Not only did he have to memorize the shifts in runic languages, but he also had to adjust as he engraved.

"No wonder it's the hardest path to start with."

While others could begin with the paths of life or matter with enough time and theoretical knowledge, the path of law required a unique sensitivity to monitor minute changes in a material's properties and adapt during engraving. Without this, it would always fail.

Even Void Venerates and Void Marshals, who could control elements, would struggle to notice these changes instantly.

Unless it was an element they had mastered, engraving even the most basic language was nearly impossible.

For Nash, though, it was a simple matter!

With eyes that could see the essence of all matter, he only needed some experience to learn how to adapt to the various changes in each runic program.

"Haha, this was practically made for me."

Laughing with delight, Nash began training, engraving repeatedly, checking what went wrong, and trying again.

After half an hour, Nash finally engraved the runic language 'harden' onto the block of stone.

"Done!"

Tapping the stone, he noticed it was several notches harder, as if made of steel.

"Can I engrave another runic language on it?"

Testing his theory, Nash attempted to engrave runic language 'heavy' onto the stone.

Unfortunately, just a few seconds in, after engraving two lines, the stone exploded into pieces.

This time, imbued with a runic language, the explosion was more intense, comparable to a grenade.

Fortunately, the workshop was sturdy enough to withstand the blast without damage.

Checking the replay in the [Memory Module System], Nash quickly understood what went wrong.

If engraving the first runic language caused changes like a gentle shake, adding another was like a massive earthquake.

Without quick reflexes and experience to navigate this shifting path, engraving a second runic language was impossible.

To work around this limit, most could only switch to better materials, ideally a perfect quality item.

Filled with a full saturation of void energy, such items had a stable runic structure.

As long as there weren't too many errors, a basic understanding could allow one to engrave a runic language.

Of course, errors here meant failing to adapt to the changes in the runic program, while basic understanding required mastering the essence of all runic languages.

Otherwise, no matter how stable an item was, it would still break or be wasted without sufficient skill.

Trying a few more times to engrave both runic languages onto the stone, Nash failed repeatedly.

Every step was filled with shifting traps, and no matter how he tried, his reflexes couldn't keep up with the runic program's changes.

"No wonder this is used to measure the skill of a runic engraver."

Runic Engraver was a branch of the scientific path of law, specializing in engraving runic languages onto items.

According to their promotion method, a tier 1 runic engraver should be able to engrave one runic language onto normal materials, a tier 2 runic engraver should manage two runic languages, and so on.

"Let's try one more time…"

Undeterred by the challenge, Nash's heart burned with determination.

Allocating most of his computation power while reserving some for the [Runic Analysis Module System] to assist him, Nash began another engraving.

Easily engraving the runic language 'harden,' he moved on to the second one.

Powered by billions in computational power, the rapid changes in the runic program slowed to a crawl, allowing him to engrave 'heavy.'

"Success! Haha, I didn't expect it was just a matter of computation power!"

Unlike others who raced blind so they needed experience, Nash only needed a fast car and quick reflexes to succeed.

"Another one…"

Trying to engrave a third runic language, the runic program's changes intensified by several notches.

Yet, with his abundant computation power, Nash succeeded, albeit with some effort.

"Haha, does this mean I'm already a qualified tier 3 runic engraver?!" Nash thought with glee.

Though it was only a branch of the scientific path, it was a lucrative profession, capable of turning tier 4 perfect items into runic items!

With a bit of practice, he could transform all their perfect quality items in stock into runic items, multiplying their value.

"No! This isn't the limit! I could also turn lower quality items into runic items!" Nash realized.

The reason only perfect quality items were typically used was due to others' lack of skill.

But with his ability to see changes in an item's runic program, Nash could potentially turn even ordinary items into runic treasures!

"What a money-making tree!"

Once he confirmed his idea was feasible, Nash would have limitless wealth flowing through his hands.

Turning back to the block of stone now engraved with 'toughen,' 'heavy,' and 'polish,' Nash attempted to add another.

Feeling nervous yet eager, he carefully donned his tier 4 runic armor and activated it to maximum intensity.

Focusing with all his might, he began to engrave the fourth runic language…
