Chapter 92: Three Years of Growth
After Theodore left, Nova told Rieka and Asia that he would be heading home.
He had just returned from a three-day guild mission, escorting a group of rookie adventurers through their very first A-Rank dungeon.
William had personally asked him to oversee the mission. As one of the guild’s promising and very young Gold-Rank Adventurers, Nova found it difficult to refuse his request.
Although his mother already knew he was away on guild business, Nova still didn’t want to make her worry any longer. Just as he was a devoted husband to his wives, he was also a loving son to his parents.
Rieka decided to stay behind with Asia to help prepare for the birthday celebration.
After leaving the Duke’s estate, Nova made his way back home.
As usual, Edward was away on duty, overseeing one of the neighboring cities under Duke Frost’s jurisdiction, not far from Forstholme.
The moment Jenna saw Nova walk through the door, her face lit up with joy.
"You’re back, son!"
"Yes, Mom," Nova replied with a smile as he stepped forward and hugged her.
Jenna happily returned the embrace, but after a moment, she glanced behind him as though searching for someone.
"Where are my beautiful daughters-in-law? I haven’t seen either of them since yesterday."
Nova chuckled before answering,
"They’re at the Duke’s estate. As you know, tomorrow is Asia’s birthday, so the two of them are helping prepare for the celebration together."
He let out a tired sigh."I came home because I’m exhausted. I haven’t slept for four days because of the guild mission."
Jenna nodded with a motherly smile.
As Nova looked at his mother, he couldn’t help but smile.
The wrinkles that had once marked Jenna’s face due to growing age had completely disappeared. She now looked no older than a woman in her late twenties, her beauty becoming even more striking than before.
The same was true for his father.
When Nova had first brought home the Evolution Stones, he had truthfully explained how he had obtained them.
At first, both Jenna and Edward refused to accept such priceless treasures, insisting that Nova use them on himself instead.
However, Nova explained that, because of his unique innate skill, the Evolution Stones were far more valuable to them than they were to him.
After much persuasion, his parents finally agreed. That wasn’t all.
Whenever Nova returned from hunting, he would bring back severely wounded demonic beasts stored inside his inventory.
Rather than killing them himself, he let his parents deliver the finishing blow so they could gain experience and level up safely.
As a result, Jenna had now reached Level around 200, while Edward had climbed to around Level 300.
Naturally, Nova had no intention of stopping there.
As he continued to grow stronger, he would make sure his parents grew stronger alongside him. He refused to watch them grow old and pass away while he continued living for centuries—or even millennia.
If he was destined to walk a long path, then he wanted his family to walk it with him.
"Alright. Go get some rest first. I’ll prepare a delicious meal for you when you wake up."
Nova smiled and nodded.
"Thanks, Mom."
He then returned to his room. Compared to the one in his old house, it was nearly twice as large and elegantly furnished, making it both comfortable and spacious.
After returning home, Nova entered the System Training Space, a place where he had spent most of his time in these three years.
Armed with Rouve, he relentlessly trained in every weapon he could think of—swords, spears, halberds, bows, daggers, axes, greatswords, whips, and countless others.
Thanks to his Eternal Weapon Sovereign skill, his talent with weapons was nothing short of monstrous.
Techniques that would normally take decades of practice to master were learned in a matter of days, while true mastery came in only a short time.
By now, every weapon Rouve could transform into had become as natural to him as his own hands, allowing Nova to switch between fighting styles seamlessly in the heat of battle.
Nova also devoted countless years inside the System Training Space to mastering all of his skills, especially his S-Rank abilities. He repeatedly pushed them to their limits, refining every aspect of their usage until they became second nature.
Many of those skills consumed an enormous amount of mana, but his skill Vitality core recoverd his mana instantly, and also the mental pressure after using high level skills grew less because of that his mental strength grew after every training session.
Allowing him to wield even his most demanding abilities with far greater efficiency. One skill that had particularly surprised him was Blood Manipulation.
At first, he hadn’t thought much of it. However, after experimenting with it on living demonic beasts in dungeons and throughout the Verdant Forest, he gradually uncovered its true potential.
The more he explored its capabilities, the more he realized that Blood Manipulation was every bit as terrifying and versatile as his other S-Rank skills despite being a S-rank.
It wasn’t merely a powerful offensive ability—it was a frighteningly adaptable skill with countless applications, making it one of the deadliest weapons in Nova’s arsenal.
{"Why are you here again...?"}
Liya spoke as Nova turned around. She looked as beautiful as ever — her voluptuous, mature body just as alluring as always. This time she wasn’t wearing any cosplay.
Over the past three years, she had shown him every kind imaginable, from bunny girl to maid outfits and beyond, always finding new ways to keep his mind entertained during training.
She was always there to accompany him in his training sessions so he wouldn’t get bored.
Now she simply stood in her usual white futuristic bodysuit with glowing blue patterns, staring at Nova with a teasing smile.
"What? Are you sick of me already? After I spent most of those ninety years with you~"
Liya giggled.
{Of course not... I could never get bored of you, my host~}
"Then why did you ask that?" Nova replied.
{Because I felt like asking~}
Nova let out a helpless sigh.
"Sigh...Nobody would believe me if I told them I have a System that acts like a weird girl all the time."
Liya giggled more proudly.
{Hehe... of course they wouldn’t. I’m one of a kind! And I mean that in the best possible way.}
Nova rubbed his forehead.
"Sigh... never mind."
He had long since grown accustomed to Liya’s unpredictable personality. Sometimes she behaved like an all-knowing guide, while at other times she acted like a mischievous young girl who loved teasing him for no reason.
Shaking his head with a faint smile, Nova muttered under his breath,
"Show me my profile."
