Chapter 205 - Triple-digits
Chapter 205 – Triple-digits
"Something is wrong…."
Yet, nothing was wrong.
How best could he describe his situation?
There was a certain strangeness that loomed over him. Yet, he could only perceive it, not see it.
Everything was in place. His book was arranged on his shelf, just the way he liked it. His bed was positioned beside the sidewall close to the window. His closet was left slightly opened.
The drinks were standing beside the bed in case he woke up with a light head. The room was with no artificial light. It could only be radiated by natural sunlight.
There was nothing weird here.
So, what was it that made his heart palpitate?
Why was he so unnerved?
Reve jumped down from his bed. He was about to—
Wait, he jumped down?
Instantly, Reve blitzed towards his mirror and took a good look at himself.
"Oh, fuckery!" he cursed.
The problem had not been with his surroundings. The problem lay with him.
Reve could see a feline structure looking back at him in the mirror. The creature boasted of a height of seven feet. The room seemed to not be capable of holding him in any longer.
Nevertheless, that was the least striking trait of the feline beast. Accompanying its majestic white fur were trails of green streaks that seemed to move with meaning.
If one looked closely, one would discover that the green streaks formed strange symbols wherever it went.
Right now, the green streaks was glowing intensely. It augmented the beast with an ethereal aura that released a voiceless hymn into the world.
Reve looked past that and noticed his antlers had also grown three inches longer than before. The pair of antlers looked just like a tree branch, with its slim structure and forked path.
Luckily, there weren't that tall, so the antlers had only gone through one series of forked path. Reve was also conscious about that. In a battle, his pair of antler would be so easy to attack and he reckoned that might be a weak spot for him.
He thought of magic beasts that had lost their horns. It never ended well for them, so he didn't think it would end well for him if his antlers were destroyed.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Reve had a lot of things going through his head.
'So, this is what I was feeling? I had transformed back to my real form.'
This bit worried him. Reve had perfect control over all his transformations. He should be aware of his transformation.
What more was the fact that he did that in his sleep, during his strange ordeal with the frost tree?
One does not simply sleep and wake up in their real form!
'Yet, I seem to have grown. The difference is glaring, even though they were just improvements on my other features.'
Could it be….that this was a growth phase?
The major feature backing this idea was his enormous size. Reve was accustomed to being small. As a white arcadian cat, he never thought he could get big.
However, was that still the case for a [Nexus Cat]?
The 'cat' in it implied it belonged to the feline family, not that it was a small domestic cat like he once was.
The more he thought of it, the more he was convinced that it was a growth phase. He wondered just what was next for him and what stage he was currently at.
Suddenly, large screens actualized in front of him. Reve sighed, as it had been long since he had seen the Nixy windows.

'Hmmm…..the change in stats is a bit too much.'
Just as he had expected, the key change was his magi and psi-force. The two energy forms had easily increased by a factor of 100.
This was understandable, as the innate trait of [Nexus Cat] was his abundant raw power. His lack of impressive skills was compensated with a violent energy reserve and destructive potential.
Reve quite preferred it like that. He wasn't someone that massively relied on skills. As long as he had a good few, it was okay.
The other thing he noted were his attributes.
Reve had to say, he had come a long way from the ignorant cat with single digits attributes. Now, he had one triple-digit, if magi and psi-force were not counted.
How godly was that?!!
As expected of a cat emperor. Now, the cat empresses would admire him more.
Anyways, Reve realized that he had surpassed Lv.90. This was a big change as, just a few more levels, and he would be beyond Lv.100.
To an arcanist, this was the perfect time to advance to a Grand Mage, a fourth circle arcanist.
However, to a genius like Reve, he could begin his advancement process now, opting to become a pseudo-grand mage, just like he did for his previous magic ranks.
Reve had everything he needed. At least they were in his grasp.
His level was good enough
His magi reserve was well suited for advancement.
His mana control just needed dedicated training.
His body was ready for another upgrade.
Lastly, his mind was ready for another spell.. This time, it would be a domain spell, the intrinsic spells of grand mages.
