Born in apocalypse

Chapter 22: Creation Stone

[Do you want to open the Diamond chest?]

What kind of question is this? Of course, I want to open the box.

Holding his breath, Dhruv said 'Yes'

As soon as Dhruv said yes, the diamond box slowly disintegrated into a golden glow and disappeared, leaving three items and a notification for him.

[You have received 100K CC.]

'Sweet..!'

Dhruv couldn't control his emotions and smiled after seeing the notification. Thinking about how much he could level up his stats with this much coin, the smile on his face got wider and wider.

Calming himself down, he looked at himself and found himself in new clothes—not exactly clothes but armor. He walked to the nearby glass window and looked at his

He saw where his prisoner's uniform was supposed to be, but instead of that, a new leather armor had taken its place. The design of the armor was simple in itself, but beautiful nonetheless. It was gray in color, and... and, there was nothing else to add. The armor was so simple in design that some could confuse it with a suit of the exact same color.

But who says Dhruv was interested in the design of the armor? He was more interested in its capabilities.

"How can I check its enchantment..?" he said.

And as if the cosmos was listening to his thought the description of the armor got displayed in front of me.

Name: [Leather Tunic of Unholy Souls]

Rank: Rare

Tier: III

Type: Armor

Description: [The Leather Tunic of Unholy Souls is a masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship, yet so simple. Created with souls for the purpose of destroying it.]

Dhruv didn't know why but he got chills after reading the description...

Enchantment: [Resilient], [Self-clean], [Soulward], [Soul flare]

[Resilient: The souls within the armor keep it bound together, making it more durable.]

[Self-clean: The souls within the armor keep it clean all the time.]

'Huh..'

Dhruv thought for a bit. So the leather armor is more durable and on top of that, it can clean itself... shouldn't that be a good thing..? Then why am I getting chills?

With a heavy heart, he displayed the other two enchantments.

[Soulward: It can protect the soul of the wearer from the attack directed towards their soul.]

[Soul flare: After providing the armor with mana, the wearer can enchant his attack with soul damage.]

'So, these two Enchantments cover the defense and attack prospects... nice!

It has three passive enchantments and one active Enchantment. The passive enchantments will be activated all the time, whereas to activate the active enchantments, I've got to provide the armor with mana.

'...and how would I do it

After thinking for a while, he got the idea that it could be possible with the help of the skill of mana manipulation. He activated the skill and started flowing his mana toward the armor, and to his surprise, it worked.

After manipulating the mana and letting it flow in the armor, he felt slightly warm.

He started preparing a metal arrow to check its effect when he fired the spell. To his surprise, there was a small fire on the tip of the arrow.

'Huh..' freēwebnovel.com

After traveling for a bit, The arrow stuck on a wall, and the damage it caused was the same as before—Of course, it would be, as walls don't have souls.

Without even knowing its true effect, He was pretty happy with the result.

Satisfied he shifted his gaze toward the spear that was lying in his hand.

Name: [Bloodrage]

Rank: Uncommon

Tier: III

Type: weapon

Description: [...hungry for blood.]

Enchantment: [Razor edge], [Thirsty], [Blood heal]

"Only three this time; these better be good."

[Razor Edge: The blade of this spear is extremely sharp.]

[Thirsty: ...absorb the blood of the opponent.]

[Blood heal: Heal the user with the absorbed blood.] freēwēbηovel.c૦m

So, basically, this spear is extremely sharp, can absorb the blood of the opponent and use that blood to heal me. Which means the more bloody my opponent gets, the more rejuvenated I will get. Talk about a broken item.

With anticipation, he looked at the other hand, where an octagonal-shaped stone was lying.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary stone, but it was anything but that. If you looked deeply at the stone, you would see that it was filled with little stars and something weird but mystical.

Without wasting any time, Dhruv looked at its description.

When Dhruv looked at the description, his eyes widened with shock... and he couldn't believe what he had seen..

Name: [Creation Stone]

Rank: Unknown

Tier: Unknown

Type: artifact

The first shocking thing was why its rank and tier were unknown.

Description: [A Divine artifact that transcends the boundaries of imagination and unleashes the power of creation like never before. This divine stone bestows upon its possessor the ability to create anything their mind can conceive, limited only by their own strength and boundless creativity.]

'Create anything..?'

Dhruv couldn't believe what he had gotten his hands on. The mere fact that he could create anything left his mind in shambles. Dhruv couldn't fathom the possibilities the stone could bring him.

This is exactly the thing he had wished for...

With a weird smile, he continues...

Enchantment: [Creation], [Loyalty], [Protection], [Destroy]

There was no fancy word for its enchantment. It was simple and normal, but Dhruv could feel the power behind these simple words.

[Creation: It can be used to create anything the user wishes for.]

[Loyalty: The Creator Stone's influence extends beyond mere creation, for it grants absolute loyalty and devotion to all that is brought into existence. Any item, place, or sentient being crafted by the wielder of this remarkable stone becomes forever subservient, bound by an unbreakable bond of loyalty to its creator.]

[Protection: The Creator Stone safeguards the existence of its creations, rendering them impervious to complete annihilation unless confronted by a force mightier than the very creator of the stone itself. Destruction may tremble at the presence of these creations, for they possess an innate resilience that defies complete obliteration.]

[Destroy: This isn't a wishing stone but a creation stone, so think accordingly. Any wrong command for creation and the stone will destroy itself.]

Dhruv trembles with excitement after reading its description. But manages to calm himself down after reading the fourth description, as any wrong move will cause the stone to destroy itself. It's like the stone is mocking and saying how efficiently can you use me.

'First of all, let's calm down.'

He took a deep breath and calmed himself.

After a while, he started going through his future plans and how he wanted to proceed from here on out.

After calming down and thinking with all the energy his brain could muster, he decided what he was going to do with the stone.

He brought the stone to his mouth and spoke softly

"Create an ability that can help me fuse any and everything"
