As Merel began to fed him Nathaniel's eyes wandered into dead space behind him his interface coming online, a progressive loading bar, Merel didn't notice so he paid no mind to it 97% configuration, he had noticed her horns they had a quality to them like a goats etched with runes that glowed a soft green his eyes roaming over her and his surroundings his eyes glowing a mild green, unnoticeable so unnoticeable that it didn't raise any alarms yet the percentage rose 99%., this happened without his knowledge her forest green hair glistening with life energy, her neon green eyes staring at him as if disecting him with her gaze, she fed him bite after bite, turns out he had forgotten what food tasted like, he savored the food enjoying the nuisances in the taste the seasoning used with in the sausages. After all this was a private luxury wing expenses paid by the government.
He had reviewed the information on his phone, he was supposedly a part time biome raider and because of the loot amassed according to his work ethic and schedule spending his free time either studying or working in biomes , and by his age yes it was a small fortune to himself the persona and identity of a hard working orphan making a name for himself, a freelance contractor who too on biomes on his own and keeping the profits to himself with a keen eye on the most profitable materials, there were pictures of him standing over high b rank monster carcasses when he was a mere high C-rank yet he still took them down with precision all and efficiency , it was all simplified to a science after all a gun always takes out moose yet its much smaller just more efficient, this would also depend on their skill and he was pretty skilled according to the reviews from the supposed buyers he knew at the guild exchange commenting on the minimal damage on the products. he smiled while looking at the photos of him hauling carcasses to the nearest guild station after all were he operated in song zero , an area close to his university the Atanaka institute to allow the his of his operation.
He had finished his breakfast and two hours had passed with him hearing a knock on his door Merel had entered with a visitor, a woman he had recognized Ginah, brown eyes connected with sliver as she walked in. she came in moving to wards him and hugged him instantly , Nathan just looked on confused as he slowly hugged her back, she was worried the dark circles around her eyes showed the extent of her care. yet he felt numb , he didn't know this woman yet the evidence suggested that they were more than close friends. he felt the warmth of her skin against hers she had nestled herself in the crook of his neck. His face flushed as he had forced a smile it was small yet genuine he was happy someone in his life and his close circle had come to see him in such a time of vulnerability, she gazed at him with an analytical look in her eyes a soft frown at the change in his behavior and the mannerisms she was used to , more quiet as if he Nathaniel was thinking planning how to navigate a situation he wasn't familiar with, she was hurt , she sat up as she straddled him caressing his face, feeling her fingers passing over his features as she began to cry tears falling from her face as she tried to keep herself composed, she told him how grateful she was to see him alive and well again she kissed him as she found his mouth left open in the middle of a gasp, she felt her tongue intertwine with his, he responded instinctively the glyph glowing, with equal intensity and vigor, they separated from each other leaving a trail of saliva between their faces she blushed after the experience, she was happier than she was when she came in.
She told him that he would be discharged later on and that she would take him back home, the following day he had given his number to Merel who requested it to notify him on his test results, he sat down on the bed as he closed his eyes only to hear an electronic buzz at the back of his mind and feel a tremor passed through his body the interface loading bar had reached completion 100%, time seemed to slow around him as the interface's colour inverted shifting from total black undertones with dark grey screens to including a mix of white and gray on each of the multiple windows, this mechanism was shaping up to be real challenge to understand especially to an amnesiac as a white glow emanated from his eyes.
He was now looking at his dashboard. and the analytics of his body and performance some how the data in the glyph attached o him was incorporated as a stable foundation without his knowledge as it was a more stable preset mentality compared to his previous identity.
