Aron wasted no time at all as he immediately opened the systems shop and searched for the said knowledge.
[ (Knowledge assimilation)

(Price: 100 million sp)]
When he saw the price he became happy, as he realized that he could buy the technology if he just collected a few million more sp.
"Good, now if I finish collecting the sp, I will have nothing to worry about. My clones will be learning the runes in my place and all I have to do is assimilate what they learned. HAHAHAHA" Aron started laughing like a maniac and Nova didn't see it as anything weird, as she became used to Aron's weird antics a very long time ago.
[Congratulations Sir but you need to start practicing your runes, you still have 4 days in accelerated simulation universe time(ASUT) until your meeting time with Rina Rothchild] Said Nova reminding him that he still had to start practicing by himself until he had enough sp to buy the assimilation technology from the system shop.
"Okay" Aron agreed to her words and returned his focus back to practicing runes which had been interrupted by his sudden revolutionary idea.
Aron sat down and sat cross legged followed by closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves and calm himself down to be able to focus.
He needed to calm himself down because he needed all the focus he could have, because he knew that despite having the knowledge of runes in his mind, wielding them was an entirely different matter.
Aron cleared his mind, then closed his eyes and began to focus all of his attention on his Runic heart, its voice low and rhythmic, causing him to feel a deep sense of calm wash over him.
He started visualizing the rune he wanted to train in, when he started visualizing the rune; inside his brain Runes lit up attracting Nova's attention who was watching and documenting everything that was happening to Aron.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen the runes in his brain lit up, Aron started hearing faint whispering in his mind, guiding him toward the path of accomplishing the realization of the Rune.
With that his runic heart started lighting up and releasing energy and dumping it through his veins.
Aron focused on the energy while trying to shape it into the rune he wanted to actualize.
He felt a sudden jolt of electricity surge through his body, forcing him to open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a golden runic word 'LIGHT' levitating in front of his eyes which kept getting brighter and brighter as his heart was still pumping out energy which he was still focusing it on the runes.
When he realized that he was still adding energy to runes, he immediately cut the supply of it, resulting in the rune stopping to increase in brightness.
Immediately after stopping the supply of magical energy, he said in his mind 'activate' for the rune to start doing what it was supposed to do.
With the order given, the rune activated with a sudden burst of intensity, the light from the rune erupted outward, filling the surroundings with a brilliant but blinding glow
Golden light lit his face and became the only thing he could see, the light continued getting brighter and brighter forcing him to close his eyes to avoid being blinded.
'Deactivate' Aron said in his mind for the rune to deactivate as its blinding light was getting bright enough to cause him discomfort even with his eyes closed.
The runic word started dimming.
After waiting a few seconds for the rune to deactivate and the surroundings to return to normal, he opened his eyes again.
[Congratulations Sir] Nova immediately congratulated him for succeeding in activating his first rune.
But Aron couldn't hear her, as his eyes were focused on the blue screen that appeared in front of him.
DING!!!!
[(First Rune)
Congratulations on officially starting your journey to becoming a Runemaster...
Rewards: 10 million sp.
]
The system rewarded him 10 million sp because it deemed it as him officially beginning his journey into runic mastery and it wanted to congratulate him for that.
[Sir!! Sir!!] Nova repeatedly called for Aron.
"Mh" Aron replied as returned his focus back to his surroundings due Nova's consistent call.
"What were you saying?" He asked again after realizing that he had ignored what Nova was saying.
[I was congratulating you Sir]
"Thank you"
[But what were you looking at?] Nova asked Aron, wanting to know where his focus went.
"You didn't see what I was looking at despite having access to my brain?"
[Your system seems to be actively preventing any and everything that can lead to the discovery of how it works.]
"If it is even altering and hiding some of my real time brain data, then it means that it really doesn't want us discovering how it works" Aron said then returned to answering her first question" As for what I was seeing, it was the systems notification and reward for me succeeding in activating my first rune and beginning my first step into the journey of becoming a runemaster"
[It seems like the system puts a very high importance in rune mastering] Nova added after hearing Arn's explanation.
"Yes it seems so based on the rewards. Anyway, let's start analyzing the records of my activation." Aron ordered as he wanted to try and see all the process his body took from calming his nerves to activation of the rune.
This was because he wanted to know what he was doing wrong and what he did right to optimize his system and avoid wasting his time training with inefficiencies in his training process.
[Yes Sir] Nova immediately executed the order and created 4 boxes within those boxes containing 3d real life rendering of both inside and outside of his body.
One box had the 3d real life rendering of the inside of his brain, another one showed the inside of his heart, another one showed the entirety inside of his body and the last one showed the normal him sitting down.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe could control the speed of the footage, the angle at what he viewed them, he could even zoom in for clarity.
He could do this because all of the simulation data was collected and could be replayed completely in whatever way they wanted.
When Aron looked at the length of the video he was surprised "It took me nine hours to finish creating just one rune?"
[To be exact it was nine hours and a half. How long did you think it was?] Aron asked, wanting to know how much time did Aron think passed.
"Two minutes, no longer than that" Aron said as he tried to remember the amount of time he felt had passed when he was focusing on the rune.
[I think this rune is responsible for that] Nova said as she zoomed on Aron's brain until it started showing lines of runes that were written on his synapses, then she played the footage which showed them starting to light up meaning that they become active the moment he started his runic practice.
[These runes seem to be the result of you gaining the Runic body.
From your description of it, you said it allows you to learn runes at a much faster pace than normal people right?.]
"Yes" Aron answered her question.
[ These runes seems to have functions such as guiding you to the right path in your runic use and training.]
"So this is why I felt like someone was leading me throughout the process" Aron nodded as he remembered something guiding him in his runic training.
"Anything else that is out of the ordinary like this?"
[Yes Sir, This time it is in your heart.]
Nova replied as he highlighted the box with the 3D footage of his heart.
[Some runes went into action to allow you to have perfect control of the magical energy that was being pumped into the rune you created.
It seems to be in the same category as the runes in synapses.] Aron focused on the runes in his heart trying to at least get a glimpse at what their meaning is, but due to his runic knowledge being low he understood shit.
But Nova didn't stop there; she continued fast-forwarding the footage until when Aron stopped supplying magic energy to the rune he had created, then she started zooming into his heart deeper and deeper until she reached the atoms making his heart.
What surprised Aron was that there were runic lines even at that level of zoom. But before he could ask his question Nova played the footage.
The moment he stopped supplying the magic energy to the rune and activated it, The atomic size runic lines in his heart lit up and started collecting magical energy from the atmosphere to refill his magical energy tank.
"Are these runes the result of gaining a runic body too?"
[No these are the first line of runes etched in your body in order to form your runic heart to allow the use of Runes.]
