One heart.

When hesitating to do what he just did, Nate has a few reasons for that and it's simply because of the question that popped into his mind the moment he summoned the whitebonez heart.

'What will happen if I do this, what if I turn out to become a whitebonez or even worse nothing happened and nothing changed, wouldn't I be losing this precious organ?' this was the question that was bothering nate.

Of course, he intended to change his former heart and replace it with the whitebonez heart. It was a risky act because Nate has no idea what the outcome might be. He might even turn into a crazy whitebonez and roam around the ice woods.

There is also a chance that nothing will happen and he will end up losing the whitebonez heart.

Not really sure of what will happen, Nate decided to take the risk of his actions and face the consequences later after.

The stabbing injury on his chest was still there, although it has closed up tight that one will not notice it, just it a small press, nate hand was shoved into his chest.

A wound sustained way before a person was turned into a zombie will remain there forever, the zombie self will take it as part of you and it will remain like that. Nate has taken the stab before becoming a zombie, although they have stitched by themselves, the mark was still there.

Regardless, it was still a strange sight to see someone putting their hand into their chest with the intent of bringing out their heart. Even crazy zombies wouldn't do such a thing to themselves. However, Nate was doing this to himself. 'It's a good thing that Max and Zuni are outside, while Cab seems to be more focused on absorbing the crystal,'

Since Nate was not feeling any sense of pain or anything of that sort, there is no way he was going to make a noise while doing this.

Soon, Nate's hand located his heart and he grabbed it and pulled it out.

[-20energy]

Nate's face frowned 9n seeing this. 'What does this mean?' Nate was not sure of what the system notification meant and dug his hand into his chest again and it was then he could feel it. 'Why! Why are you growing a new heart, are they still useful?!' nate almost shouted out.

His heart has just grown back. Nate pulled it out again and the same notification popped out. 'Can you at least ask for permission,' for the first time, Nate seems to not be sitting well with the fact that he has a self-healing trait, not just any self-healing power, rather but one that works automatically.

'Ist they really no other way for me to do this,' Nate wondered. However, they were still one thing he could do. Holding the whitebonez heart, Nate did not hesitate this time and shoved it into his chest.

'Nothing is happening,' Nate realized that the plan didn't work either. As he was about to take the heart out again, he felt a purple light illuminating his chest. 'What is this?' Nate started to feel something moving in his chest.

[Dose the host wants to blend the two heart]

[Yes/No]

'Is this what am thinking? Will I become a whitebonez if I choose yes?' Nate was confused at this moment. Regardless, Nate decided to go with the flow. 'Not like anything will change, if I become a whitebonez, I will surely still have the level of intelligence I have now,' nate thought and made up his mind.

[Yes]

[A heart of a whitebonez zombie will be mixed with the Wight zombie]

[New skill has been granted]

[One special effect]

'A skill?!' nate eye widened. He quickly checked the system.

[Air storage= This stores air for the host to power the king-level gauntlet]

'Should I just say that the system for ones has done something to please me,' Nate thought with a smile.

This was practically what he want and the system just granted it to him.

[30% Resistant to cold has been created]

'Is this all because I mixed the whitebonez heart with mine?' nate wondered. The whitebonez heart was something the system stated to be important for some reason, nate was yet to know why the heart was important. But after using this, he seems to have known a bit of how important the heart was.

With the air storage skill, nate assumed that his heart was kind of dead and alive at the same time because, with his heart, he will be able to pump air into his body and would use it when activating the laser blast power of the gauntlet.

The heart will die or to say will go off once it was done restoring the used air. Now was the 30% resistance to cold. This explains why the whitebonez were capable of staying out in the cold without having any problems.

'Now this makes me wonder how long I can stay out without worrying about the cold,'

Regardless of what the case may be, Nate was now sure that he would not freeze instantly if he was to go outside.

'Now let's go and test this thing out,' Nate summoned the gauntlet on his hand again. He had placed it back into his inventory while changing his heart.

Surprisingly, the moment the gauntlet appeared on nates hand, a one-eye pattern sketched out with red ink appeared on his forehead. Meanwhile, in his mouth, the blue line came out from the side and went down to his cheek.

Nate has no idea of this and walked out of the house. Max and Zuni were still testing out their new weapon even though it was already night.

"I will be going out for some moment," Nate said to the two and started running deep into the woods. He was looking for a target to test the weapon on.

'If there is one thing I hate so much about this place, it's the fact that one could hardly find a beast,' Nate thought as he ran through the woods.

However, he soon noticed a movement from the front and wanted to confront it that was went someone suddenly appeared before him.

"If you don't wish to die at this moment, don't go after that sound," Leo warned nate.

"You, what are you doing here?" Nate asked surprised to see Leo.

"Following some groups of whitebonez till I noticed that someone who was so much desperate to die for the second time was approaching the whitebonez also," Leo replied.

Nate already know what Leo was referring to. "The a group of whitebonez? Is this a great opportunity to kill them," Nate said wanting to chase after the whitebonez.

"Are you crazy, These are the matured ones, and you can tell how hard it was to deal with a premature one, not only that, these are in a group," Leo explained.

Hearing that it was the matured whitebonez, Nate seems to have a second thoughts about it. "But I now have two king-level weapons, it should be enough to deal with them," Nate said summoning the ice axe, he already has the gauntlet in his hand.

Leo looked at both weapons before lamenting. "This is not even enough to deal with Sin,"

At this point, Nate couldn't help but ask the question that has been stuck in his mind. "Who is this Sin guy?" he asked. Nate has been hearing the name Sin from the three people meets with and they have been ranting about how powerful Sin was.

"Do you want to know him? This might take an answer point from the missions you have completed?" Leo replied.

Nate looked into the question quest he has completed so far, he only has one more quest to complete before getting his gold medal from the system.

Regardless, he was looking at the ones he has completed so far and was wondering which one he should sacrifice to get the information about Sin.

"I sacrifice the answer of where I am," Nate demanded. He had a reason for doing this. If he was going to stay in the ice place too long, he would definitely get to know where he is, that's why he chose the answer to the sacrifice.

"Well then, let's convey back," Leo said and waved his hand and soon their surrounding changed into that of inside a house.

"Teleportation...!" Nate muttered
