Chapter 4 - Becoming a Nexus

He can travel to the mysterious place of the blue mist…..

Later, after returning to the real world from the mysterious place of the blue mist, he feels tired and falls asleep in bed.

In the morning, Stella wakes up and finds a letter written by Kalvin. Kalvin came home at night and wrote a letter for Stella telling her that he had arrived home and that she should not wake him up before noon. Stella makes breakfast for Kalvin in the morning and puts it on the table before she goes to her work. Due to Kalvin's unemployment, Stella has to work outside the house to support the two of them. Kalvin wakes up at noon and finds breakfast prepared for him on their dining table.

Kalvin thinks to himself that his sister works outside and supports the two of them. He should do his own work and keep his sister away from this work because it is very dangerous for girls to work outside the house like this. Although Stella is not his own sister, but in a sense, Stella is his sister. So he has to be aware of her.

Then Kalvin sits at the table and starts eating his own breakfast. Breakfast consists of a little white bread, milk, and some boiled potatoes. While eating breakfast, he feels that low-class families usually don't have very good food. After finishing breakfast, Kalvin goes to his room and starts looking for the book he read last night. But he can't find any pages except the cover.

He is surprised to see this. Today, only the cover of the book he read last night was left. Later, he guesses that the book might have been restricted by some magical ritual that would have made it disappear after reading.

Later, he thinks, no, if that were the case, then when Alsem read this book, it would have disappeared. But when I took the book from him, it was in good condition. I won't think too much. When I go to meet Alsem, I will talk to him about it. Now I will perform this ritual a second time to get the mysterious Nexus power. As a result, Calvin builds a new altar and prays to the Goddess with his eyes closed to grant him the Goddess's power, which is essentially the Nexus Power.

After a while, Kalvin saw a huge, blurry statue of a woman in front of him, who was looking down at him from above. Then the woman smiled slightly at Kalvin and extended her hand. As a result, some golden light came out of the woman's hand and entered Kalvin's soul, and Kalvin's real body was instantly illuminated, and he returned to the real world.

As soon as Kalvin's soul entered his own body, he began to gasp and thought to himself, What did he see? Is that woman the Goddess of Evernight? No, why would that be? Why would the Goddess herself appear in front of me?

Kalvin, I don't know who she was. But I definitely know that she was far stronger than I. After she extended her hand to me, a golden light entered my soul. Is this the Nexus power that I learned about in the book tomorrow? Probably, yes, it is that power. Cause I can feel that my body is absorbing something, and this thing is causing all sorts of changes inside me.

I believe that other Nexus beings will be able to sense the Nexus power within me. They might come to visit me. Will they kill me? No, they won't, because their numbers will be very small now. I don't think that those with such mysterious powers will become extinct so easily. In that case, if they find another partner like them, it will be very beneficial for them. However, there is a risk of losing control, but if I want to be strong, I have to take such risks often.

He rests for some time and goes out to the market. He went out to the market to look for work. But there are no suitable occupation for him in the market. After traveling for a while, a group of three or four men wearing black coats and round hats approached Kalvin. They introduced them as police officers. They ask Kalvin to help them, and in return, they can give Kalvin a job. Kalvin hesitates a little but later agrees to help and goes with them....
