Chapter 8 - Chapter 7 — Awakening in the Real World

The early morning sun spilled across John Bloodford's room, catching the floating holographic data from his test capsule. He yawned, stretched, and for the first time, glanced at his full profile in the system interface. As his eyes scanned the displayed information, a small detail caught his attention:

Name: John Bloodford

A strange sense of recognition stirred within him. "Bloodford…" he whispered. It's not just a name. It's a legacy… a thread connecting me to something I don't yet understand.

He ran his fingers along the letters, feeling a subtle weight in the name—as if it carried history, strength, and perhaps a hidden purpose. For a moment, he pondered whether this identity had been part of his reincarnated self all along, a hint left for him to discover.

Bloodford… I'll live up to it.

Training Beyond the Capsule

Today, John decided to take his training beyond the safe confines of his room. He stepped outside, the city alive with soft hums of energy. Even though humanity lived under a single unified banner, the world pulsed with an intricate network of technology, neural links, and energy currents. John could feel it all—the power of energy flows intertwining with the city, almost as if the entire environment was alive.

SYSTEM: "Outdoor energy integration recommended. Multi-stream perception: enhanced. Base Power Level: Stage 4.7/5."

John stretched and focused, sensing the currents in the ground, the air, and even distant devices. He lifted a small rock from the sidewalk and concentrated. The energy from his fingers subtly pushed against it. It lifted slightly, hovering for a moment before gently settling back.

This is just the beginning… I can manipulate energy beyond my room. Even small objects respond to me.

He experimented further, moving to larger objects—a discarded metal pipe, a container, a hovering drone passing overhead. Each interaction required precision, but with his capsule amplifying his neural interface, even complex manipulations felt possible.

SYSTEM: "Physical and energy synchronization: 82%. Energy Controller stage approaching completion. Base Power Level: Stage 4.8/5."

John smiled. Perfect Body… soon.

Observing the World

Walking through the streets, he noticed subtle phenomena no one else seemed to perceive. Faint energy currents traced patterns in the air. Holographic displays pulsed slightly in rhythm with unseen energy flows. Even the drones' flight paths seemed to follow hidden lines of force.

This world is more than it seems. There are patterns, structures, things hidden beneath ordinary perception…

He paused at a small plaza, extending his senses. The energy streams hinted at pockets of concentrated power scattered throughout the city, possibly linked to secret organizations or hidden families. Though he couldn't fully decipher them yet, he knew he would one day trace these currents to their sources.

Bloodford… I have a name, a purpose. And now, I have a path to follow.

Dyson Sphere Reflections

Returning home, John spread out his Dyson Sphere schematics. The capsule hovered beside him, softly pulsing as he mentally simulated energy flows through the Sphere. He visualized how energy circulated, how modules connected, and how each segment could be synchronized with planetary systems.

SYSTEM: "Dyson Sphere integration potential: minor resonance detected. Energy flows partially synchronized with user. Recommended: incremental simulation exercises."

He focused, linking his current energy mastery to the blueprint. Faint arcs of light traced along the holographic schematics, responding to his mental commands. Each pulse felt like a conversation with the Sphere itself—a whisper of potential, a glimpse of power far beyond his current stage.

I will unlock this… piece by piece. The Sphere will be mine to understand, just like my own body and energy.

Reflection and Determination

Exhausted from training, John sat cross-legged in his room, the city outside alive with hidden energies he could now perceive. He realized that his name, Bloodford, his capsule, and his reincarnated knowledge were all part of a larger design. He was no ordinary child, nor an ordinary cultivator.

This is only the beginning. Today, I walked beyond the simulation, felt my energy in the real world, and glimpsed forces hidden from ordinary people. Tomorrow… I will push further.

John closed his eyes, meditating on his powers, the Dyson Sphere, and the currents of energy around him. Somewhere out there, the hidden families, secret clans, and distant civilizations stirred—oblivious to the small but growing anomaly named John Bloodford.

I will awaken fully. I will master my body, my energy, and my destiny. And I will uncover every secret this world has tried to hide.

The capsule hovered silently, its soft hum echoing his heartbeat, a constant reminder that training, discovery, and power awaited him at every step.
