Mythos Eyes Cultivation Art

Pretending to look down at a watch, Adrian coughed before saying, "Would you look at the time! I need to get started on my missions. System, Open Mission Tab!"

Having said his command, the Nexus Message panel in front of him suddenly dropped down a new tab.

[Reward: ???]

[Failure: Death by - Decay of Heavens]

Fortunately for Adrian, his attempt to change the conversation ended up telling him the most useful piece of information he had gotten in months.

The first story only has one more mission to complete after leaving Soul's divide. Though something did worry Adrian slightly, what did it mean by the first story chain was anyone's guess…

After pondering on that question until his face wrinkled, he nodded his head while sighing, "We will cross that bridge when we get there!"

When Adrain suddenly nodded, Sakura thought he figured out some secret, however, his next sentence was nonsense which made her shout, ~STOP BEING STUPID!~

Hearing how loud she became, Sakura lowered her voice as she talked, ~umm… I mean find another mission to do, while you think.~

Adrian was a little stunned by Sakura's sudden outburst, however, an ingrained fear arose in his mind as he spoke back softly, "I understand…"

Shrinking his head, Adrian looked over his current missions, one was impossible, the other had no information, and the third mission was easy enough to complete.

After a moment of awkward silence, Adrian quietly activated his omniscience to look far above the ravine at the beautiful night sky brightly illuminated by a great white moon.

In a conscious pleading voice, Adrian begged, "Sakura… Please don't kill me for what I'm about to do!"

Having said his peace, the only option to comply with what Sakura wants now and what she said when he first got the mission, Adrian's shirt was recalled into the white fox clothing set.

Without the oversized shirt covering his body, Adrian's exquisite body glistened under the moon's silvery light creating a scene that would make even gods look twice.

His purplish-silver hair tapered off about halfway down his scar-filled muscular back.

Adrian's handsome, albeit older, face was further accentuated by his sculpted pecs which perfectly led to a set of incredibly crafted abs.

The most eye-catching thing anyone there could see was not his densely packed muscles, but the black markings and scares that filled his body.

Just as their eyes looked down to gaze upon the rest of his body each being was met with the same sight of black jeans covering the naughty bits.

Watching his actions, Sakura's glow became multiple shades pinker as some not-so-appropriate images flashed among her thoughts, which were quickly shattered as a message flashed in the air.

[Constellation Lonely White Moon blushes and asks you to complete your mission]

As soon as that message rang in the air Sakura's light pink, almost perverted, aura instantly was replaced with a dark thorny rose aura as her cold voice rang in Adrian's ears, ~Rain… Why are you doing that mission?~

In Adrian's ears, these simple words sounded like the call of the grim reaper as he felt a set of large chain-like Lover's Bonds tighten around his neck.

Gulping down a mouthful of saliva, Adrian responded, "Please, you told me to do a mission and I only took my shirt off. I have no intent to do anything extra for that… Old Hag!"

Hearing Adrian's hateful words Sakura smiled as her anger calmed causing the Lover Bonds to once again fade into nothingness.

However, a message soon flashed across his eyes showing someone else's killing intent though this time it was suppressed.

[Constellation Lonely White Moon is outraged, but understands your situation]

Hearing the message play Adrian felt his body break out into cold sweats which only caused his body to glisten more.

Fortunately for everyone involved when Adrian expelled the impurities and waste from his body during evolution, it also made him completely stench free, he even seemed like lavender.

After having finally escaped from certain death, Adrian suddenly thought up an amusing and efficient idea.

Sakura felt his thoughts through their link, and the idea left her speechless.

After hearing no objections from Sakura, Adrian's normally stoic face twisted into a devilish smile as he spoke, "If you viewers at Nexus offer something of equal value… I will show you another form among my Nine Emotions, Infinite Weapon Art, what say you?"

Before Adrian could even finish four messages appeared.

[Original System offers 0.001% system efficiency]

[Cursed Writer offers information on the art of Runic Bodies]

[Constellation Lonely White Moon offers a moon spirit evolution manual]

[??? offers the Mythos Eyes Cultivation Art]

The first three seemed unique, but reasonable for each to have; however, the fourth offer seemed to have been perfectly designed for him.

A cultivation art made for those with his unique bloodline and predicament, it seemed way too coincidental…

However, no matter what Nexus couldn't offer something impossible.

With that in mind, Adrian accepted all four offers instantly as if afraid that someone would steal them from him.

Instantly a flood of information shot into his head nearly forcing him unconscious as his brain tried to understand the complex information revolving around the evolution manual.

Once his mind calmed from the process of processing the moon spirit evolution manual, a manual about "the Art of Runic Bodies" appeared in his mind.

During what felt like the pain of a million migraines occurring all at once Adrian's system forced itself open.

[Efficiency System Status]

[System: 0.00175%]

[Endurance 100%] (Mortal)

[Wisdom 100%] (Natural)

[Communication 1.23%] (Natural)

[Breathing 12%] (Natural)

As the panel appeared his previous headache intensified, knocking him completely unconscious.

Adrian's mind was almost sent into his Pantheon when finally a book adorned with a yin-yang symbol appeared in Adrian's mind with the words "Mythos Eyes Cultivation Art" along its spine.

When this book appeared Adrian's soul and bloodline buzzed as his mind was fragmented and scattered only for Wisdom to have to slowly piece them back together.
