Chapter 4: Survive
Viewing the message he realized that he had been healed from all the injuries he underwent and next another message came up.
{Pick out weapons and supplies needed and leave the building within four hours.}
After looking at the message Nix cursed at Dark Nix.
'Siege? What the Heck? Dark Nix, why didn't you warn me?'
[You had an unread message, but you didn't check that out and I can't open it only you can but you didn't do it. You have to survive every day without depending on anyone as I did back then without any cheats but you have cheats now that's the difference.]
'Okay, I need your assistance, so help me out.'
[okay, First analyze other survivors inside the building]
Two female survivors came rushing towards the door and shut it immediately after Nix entered in. Nix looked around inside the building. There was a total of nine survivors inside the building, adding Nix there were a total of ten people inside the building, and it was spacious and large.
He turned towards Nagendra, and Nix knew that he would have survived because Dark nix told him that he was the protagonist of these so-called survival ordeals and scenarios. Nagendra was in conversation with Other survivors. They all had the weapons they preferred except Nix.
There were six male survivors and four female survivors inside the building. Among the two survivors who shut the door was the woman who proposed her opinion When Nagendra started talking about teaming up. Nagendra walked towards Nix and opened his mouth.
"I am glad you survived the siege Nix."
And continued
"And I am sorry Nix I got into the building and left other survivors even though I suggested that we should group and survive."
"It's okay you did something anybody would have done therefore don't feel bad. Everybody needs to survive with their own abilities. So don't feel responsible for other people's problems."
"Thanks for understanding Nix."
Nix turned his gaze towards the middle-aged man who said that they have to help the others who stuck inside the compartment.
"You are not like certain someone who delayed down the group's decision making."
The middle-aged man's face turned stiff upon hearing Nix's words.
"Okay, I will pick up weapons and supplies, and then I'll meet you."
"okay"
He turned his eyes at the corner of the building and he encountered two weapons and an armor suit there. Nix stepped towards it and he found two gauntlets. But, they were kind of different. He picked up both gauntlets and one possessed a crossbow attached to it. He wore it on his left hand after wearing it. He didn't know how to use it so he twisted and made weird hand signs and on the other hand, he clicked a button on the gauntlet.
"chkk"
Suddenly a bolt shot out from the crossbow after examining it he found out how to use it. Next, he started examining his other gauntlets which he wore on his right hand. There was a space beneath it for a certain purpose, so Nix raised his hand and made hand signs similar to how spider man use to shoot webs in movies.
'Maybe a laser will shoot out this?'
[Shit, stop it is embarrassing.]
'Then what should I do?'
[It is called Hidden Blade close your thumb and twist your wrist upwards]
"shinn"
A sharp blade protruded from the gap under the gauntlet.
'How can I use this as a weapon? I think it won't be useful for battles. '
[You are right these types of weapons are useful for assassinating not for battles but, it will be useful so take it.]
'Assassinating?'
[Yes, assassinating and things far more cruel will be absolute in the world where you are going to be teleported.
Mere assassinating is normal there plus don't worry about those things now and my assistance will end within this forest after you awaken your abilities if you choose to do so.]
'What you won't be assisting me after I awaken my abilities?'
[Yes, Now choose other items. I'll talk about it later.]
Gauntlets was a set item; what's left now is a short sword. Nix picked it up and took a sheath and tied it behind his back since it was comfortable for him and wore the combat suit. Lastly, he picked a bag and took the necessary supplies he needed.
'Dark Nix what should I do next?'
[First, open your status window.]
'How to do that?'
[Just think or say open status window.]
'open status window.'

'This looks like a detailed description of myself like something from a game and... By the way, what is soul manifestation? Does it say merge conscious? how should I do that? '
[As I thought I wished that you would ask me what it is. If I assist you as the system for a long time, my consciousness will fade away but If you merge my will into the ability I can't assist you but the advantage is you can use your past life's abilities but it will invoke at random.] and added

It is a feature most people don't hold. you'll know soon...}
"I see, Now Should I merge?"He questioned.
Suddenly Dark nix's voice started to sound like a robotic voice.
[Choice of the person who lives in the present is the priority. Requesting permission of the owner...]
'My choice huh? Okay, I want to survive and need to be strong so...'
'Commence merging.'
After that, a message appeared.
[Do you wish to merge the will of the past with the ability?]
'Yes'
[Nix, be wary of g....]
Seems like Dark Nix wanted to say something but Nix couldn't understand what he wanted to say. Before he could hear the full sentence of Dark nix another message popped up.
[Merging under process...]
After a few seconds, several messages started popping up.
[Merging completed]
[Nova energy is reacting with conscious manifestation.]

Nix didn't understand what the process was, but he felt more potent after the process. He didn't check his stats window instantly after that. He walked towards other survivors because Nagendra appeared to be waiting for him.
