Pain
The first thing that i thought of when i regained my consciousness.What had happened? i slept in my bed in the embrace of my extravagant bed.
[Aspirant.Welcome to the nightmare spell this is you're first Trial...]
A teenager was laying on the bed his curly hair spread on the pillow, his eyes were sharp and defined, his nose was round and plumby, his skin was the perfect balance between white and brown.
Suddenly this teenager opened his eye...
"What the fuck?! The nightmare spell? Shadow Slave? Was i transmigrated? Holy shit..."
I looked at an unfamiliar ceiling , the rays of sunlight were cascading through the vitraux glass , there were depictions of a tree being worshiped.
"Where the fuck am I?Could it be…The World Tree"
Thoughts upon thoughts were being produced in his mind, and countless emotions were experienced rapidly ; however the most prominent one was excitement.
He thought to himself 'I'm finally going to leave my boring old life and experience being isekai'd!! '
While I was thinking to myself the door of the room opened "Sir…You have finally awakened!! Wait I'll go call you're parents"
The maid was about to leave he called out to her " Hey where exactly are we?"
She looked at him with a confused gaze her plumb figure and curves were accentuated by the dress she was wearing ."Sir, we're on the seventh branch of the tree. She said before she left quickly."
"Since im in the SS world then I have to see my ruins …"
I thought about my Ruins, suddenly a set of words appeared in front of me:
Name: Iglesius
True Name -
Rank: Aspirant
Soul core: Dormant
Memories: [???]
Echoes: -
Attributes: [Pain Conductor],[4th Wall],[Scar Memory],[Last Stand],[Transmigrator]
Aspect: Thought Reader
Description: [The wielder can have glimpses upon the thoughts of others, breaking through all mental defenses and ignoring all mental defence abilities]
Iglesius saw his aspect and his eyes shined brightly a slight smirk appeared on his face unconsciouslly.
"Although this aspect has no clear offensive power, it has immense possibility, I have to get a high rating from the spell during this nightmare to evolve it!'
He got up and tried to explore the room but he felt tremendous amounts of pain all over his body and collapapsed on the floor making a loud thud.
Hearing the loud noise his parents opened the door with their breathing hitched and sweat beads running all over their faces.
"Iglesuis you shouldn't move on you're on! you've been in a coma for 2 years…son youre gonna hurt yourself" His mother exclaimed with a worried gaze, Iglesius proceeded to ask her about his current situation,after 20 minutes he finally understood everything.
He finally got an explanation for his terrible state and fragile body. His parents carried him onto the bed and his father did some checks on him, apparently he is a famous healer and he's the reason why Iglesius is still alive till now, moreover his parent are both awakened!!
This was a huge buff when it comes to his safety.
After his parent left Iglesius started racking up his brains trying to remember what had happened in the course of history, because if he wanted to get a high enough grading from the nightmare spell he was gonna have to change fate!
'First of all I forgot to check my attribute descriptions'
He said this as he thought of his attribute ruins; with a soothing chime some ruins appeared infront of him:
[Pain Conductor]
Attribute description: Youre body is built for pain and can transfer it rapidly between body parts.
[Scar Memory]
Attribute description: Youre body never forgets any scars that has been inflicted upon it, it assimilates them and develops to resist them in the future.
[Last Stand]
Attribute description: Through perseverance and immense willpower, you're body developed a new mechanism you when on the brink of death all pain is delayed and you feel revitalized; however, after battle you feel all the pain threefold.
[4th Wall]
Attribute description: Having read the story of this world, it has been imprinted in youre brain thus you can recall any detail flawlessly.
[Transmigrator]
Attribute description: Having traveled across realities with you're soul, you're existence is welcomed by all realms and you face no dejection.
'Mmm…these are actually good my luck hasn't been so terrible, apparently I get special treatment because I'm a transmigrator, and also [Pain conductor],[Scar Memory] and [Last Stand] seem to be related, they must've been this bodies original attributes.'
'Alright I need to plan, If this is the world tree, Then I must be in heart gods realm. So that means the thing that is gonna happen is? Hmm…oh it must be the corruption of the world tree with that Cursed Terror. But…how am I supposed to stop that?! Im merely a single person im not even a Master yet!!'
'Ok first of all I need to gather more information but this fragile body is too useless'
Iglesius tried to step out of the bed again but as soon as he stood up he was met with tremendous pain; however it was slightly better than last time atleast he could support his own body now, he tried walking a few steps to loosen his muscles with every step the pain decreased slightly he then tried doing some stretches and immediatley stopped.
'Oh hell nah, if I did stretched one more inch my legs are genuinley gonna shatter'
With this thought in mind, he grabbed a stick that was in the corner of the room and headed out while limping on it.
He was met with a cacophony of sounds and his sight was assaulted with the bright rays of sunlight, after he opened a slit of his eyes he saw a wondrous scene; children running around happily, countless stools arranged with folks buying from the here and there, but the most out of place thing was that the ground was made of wood!!
Afterall this is a branch of the world tree, 'so big!' the branch was as wide as town!! The size of this tree heavily induces the feeling of insignificance, however to think that this World Tree will be taken down one day it truly shows that nothing in this world is impossible.
'The people in nightmares are not real so if I happen to find someone with a good memory' an evil smirk appeared on iglesius's face.
He started walking towards a nearby stool that had all sorts of weapons on display, from a tiny dagger to lenghty naginata.
He looked for the shopkeeper and saw a short bulky man with a thick beard and a bald head the shopkeeper saw iglesius and his eyes almost burst out of their sockets!
"Mr Iglesius you have awakend from youre slumber!" said the shop keeper as he embraced iglesius in a hug,"I am extremely thankful that sir has finally recovered"
Apparently iglesius's family was an extremely affluent one with countless connections and iglesius's father had once healed the shopkeepers daughter free of chargeother than that the shopkeepr was trying to get on iglesius's good side perhaps he would be a great figure like his father.
"Son since you have finally healed, you can pick any weapon from this shop, consider it a recovery gift", said the shopkeeper with a smile.
'Is he being serious, this….this is actually a tremendeous boon' Iglesius was lost for words his luck was just too good he immediatley started examining some weapons, while silently hoping this good luck doesn't cost him his luck in the future.
After sifting through some weapons, there were only 8 in the shop that piqued his interest: Ashfang dagger, Ironmaw spear, Whispercoil Bow, Nightveil sword, Iceblight Axe, Emberlash Whip, Frostbite halberd.
Each one of these weapons has its own specialty; however, Iglesius used to have tons and tons of archery classes as a kid so he was leaning towards the bow, thus he took a look at its ruins:
Memory: Whispercoil Bow.
Memory Rank: Awakened.
Memory Type: Weapon.
Memory Description: [It's a bow made with the wood of the World Tree]
Memory Enchantments:[Independant], [Sturdy]

[Sturdy]
[Made from the wood of the World Tree ; This bow is extremely durable]
'So this bow is a Semi-Echoe this is actually very useful, it's a pity I can control its movements, however ill take it!'
While iglesius was about to get the bow when a weird weapon caught his eyes, It was a rock on a stick!!
The rock was smooth and black in colour, it was attached to the handle of a sword, what type of joke is this!!
He asked the shopkeeper about it and he told him that he found it at the foot of the tree but couldn't inspect it so he just kept it there and it has been collecting dust.
He immediately inspected it without expecting anything he was just doing it out of curiousty:
[MEMORY UNVAVAILABLE]
'What?'
He tried inspecting it again, suddenly Iglesius felt agony in the centre if his chest and golden light seemed to step out of his body.
'It hurts hurts hurts hurts' He screamed in a muffled noise

Before he could grasp the rest of the ruins he lost consciousness.
