I opened my eyes.The scene before qasnlike that out of a movie.I found myself in a 'sea of stars'.Just the sight of it is enough to make one fully emerged in it. From the stars and constellations seemingly dancing in the sky to the seemingly endless ground beneath me,I just couldn't help but be amazed internally. It felt like I was stepping on ground but yet felt like I wasn't,like I could fall down endlessly anytime but yet couldn't.
"Is this for real.Am I...?"
And then in the midst of it,I heard a voice calling out to me repeating the same phrase over and over again 'I found you '.It kept echoing over the place,from all the stars to me.
Before I could even process what was going on,the sky above and below started to crack like glass.
"Krrrrrrrh!"
I could feel it.I was about to fall to who knows where.
"Is this how it's supposed to go.This doesn't make sense at all!"
I then heard a voice different from the one I heard earlier.It was somehow like a female but wasn't.Like a male but wasn't.It didn't feel like it was particularly any gender or distinction
"Integration of the soul to the Laws of the World.Integration complete!"
"Assimilation of one's power and recording to the Laws of the World. Complete!"
"Initiating soul...error,error...Correct,Initiating body and soul transfer to the specified coordinates! Successful!"
....
Upon opening my eyes,I found myself in a vast field of luscious grass and flowers. From the way the sun rays shone on the grass made it look ever so beautiful,it felt like a remedy for the headache I was feeling.
From dying to being in a 'sea of stars' to hearing strange voices to now finding myself in an unknown place.If one would hear me say any of this,they would simply brush it off as me simply being a lunatic.No one would listen to a story like that with a serious face.I couldn't even blame anyone for that because even I wouldn't believe it if.i didn't experience it myself.That's just how people operate.
As I slowly woke up from the ground feeling the soft soil,I started contemplating.
"Now,now.What should I do from here on out. Should I look around for a bit to get a good sense of my surrounding.There's no pint in struggling over something I can't control,after all."
In life,there is always some things that are always out of our control. Many people always scratch their head mindlessly over them,desperately trying to find a way out of the situation. It's part of human nature so it's understandable.We try to get a grasp over things of the unknown.But that approach is wrong and mostly spells immaturity.A calm mind takes a step back to see the situation clearly.
...
Time passed slowly as I was looking around.After sometime ,I found some run down huts in a place surrounded by trees.The trees themselves were massive and larger than any I've ever laid eyes on but that's to be expected from a guy who's raised near the towns.
Although looking amateuraly built,I wanted to stay around for a bit.The day was hectic for me to say the least so it didn't sound bad for me to just get some sleep under a roof. However it was getting late and.i knew better than to enter in an uncharted territory on the first day.Plus,something as simple as a simple as a black scarf and some dark torn up clothes couldn't keep me.warm for long so I had to look for a good area fast.Luckily,it didn't take long before I found a cozy spot near a tree to rest for the night.
As time passed and the sun set,I heard a strange-android like voice in my head.
"Connection with the individual,'...',with the Laws of the World,Confirmed. Process;successful!"
"Specified individual can now use their skills however they wish according to limitations placed by the Laws of the World."
It started to call on the names of the 'skills' I had.
"Mana attributes are the following:Fire and darkness.Through through the process of mana decomposition,one can..."
The more I tried to listen,the more my mind wandered off.It may seem wonderful to hear one's own attributes but that didn't mean I had the interest to listen on to that explanation.
Not long after,it started feeling like a blur and I couldn't hear it quite well but there was one in particular that stood.out to me.Its name was Flash Front .Just from the name itself,I could tell it was going to be of great help.
By the time the voice finished,another surprise hit me.I felt an abnormally warm heat from my chest. Like a pan slowly getting hotter from the heat or like a metal bench getting heated by the sun rays. The feeling was growing stronger and stronger that it was getting unstable. Before I could even take action but just then I heard the android-like voice again.
"Hold out your hand and put all your concentration on any target before you. Imagine focusing that pent up heat and letting it all out at once to hit your target."
I didn't quite understand but even though I tried my best to follow its instructions. I closed my eyes and tried to feel that energy.The feeling was like veins flowing with streams of energy as it coursed through my entire body as it even reached my fingertips. In front of me what formed was a small-scale fire wave which unleashed itself on some trees.The scale wasn't large but the fact that I was able to do it was already enough to put a wide smile on my face.
"Is this what I am capable of now?!"
