Chapter 13 - Practing Breathing Skill
I want to clarify something with you guys.
I saw that most of you guys saying that the second skill will have higher risks and that he may lose complete control of himself so I wanted to say.
The Baphomet's Blasphemous Body skill won't have that much risks to begin with and the costs of the power will be within the damage range and for story devolopment.
Also because the more he uses the power doesn't mean Baphomet might completely kill him.
Who knows. Baphomet might be a nice guy. Just saying not completely declaring. Wink Wink.

[What skill will you choose when you master the breathing art]
Thinking deeply about the system's question as I had no answer to it.
What will I choose indeed.
"I actually don't know what I will choose. Even though Baphomet's Blasphemous Body is very dangerous if I can control it's influence on me than it may be the most perfect choice for me."
"But still that depends on if I can actually control the influence or not. If I can't control the power's influence or deem myself not strong enough I will have to go by Gods Omnipotent Body. Even if Gods Omnipotent Body is slightly weaker than Baphomet's Blasphemous Body it still has it's advantage and will be quite useful against dark beings."
After having my conversation with the System I called back the bodyguards/Maids and Butlers to my side than went inside the branch family house and without looking left or right I went straight inside my room.
My room is now still the same wooden colored room that is 10 x 12 Foot. Which in comparison to other rooms in this house is quite small. Looking back I tell the fair looking chestnut haired maid "Emily I am going to practice the breathing skill so can you please kindly make me some chocolate soufflé. I think I will be quite hungry by than"
Emily the Maid nodded her head as she said "Yes, Young Master" after saying that both the butlers also left with her as knowing this was the their young master's way of telling them to give him some privacy.
Looking at their backs disappearing from his sight, he locked his door and went to the bed. Sitting in the at the center most place in a cross-legged position, he opened his stats.

Looking at my stats, In this 7 years my stats have only grown by a small amount. My HP or Health Points increased by 19. My Mana capacity increased by 11.9. My Mana regeneration increased by 0.459 which is not a lot. But Now I finally have some Strength and Agility. My constitution was the second lowest in increase with 2.9 in amount. And my luck did not increased but the good news is that atleast it did not decreased after what happened a while back, So that's a win for me.
Closing the system panel I delve in about what the Light and Darkness Dual Breathing Art truly is.
Just like it's name the Light and Darkness Dual Breathing Art is simply a breathing skill which shows a way to harness both the Light and Darkness attribute. In other words it simply helps someone balance their inner being and be in harmony. The higher the understanding the better the balance their will be. In the highest of it's form one may even achieve Zen.
What is Zen? Zen is a state of mind of being fully present, free from the constraints of the ego, and open to the wisdom of the universe.
Now how do I use the skill? I simply sit in a cross-legged position and clear my mind than think about the skill and just say activate. Yep that's it. Because it's the most basic of skills it simply is so easy. But because it is also the foundation of everything Mana represents, One must fully and completely practice it for if your foundation isn't strong from the beginning one will have problems down the road.
Now with that done I look at the time which is 11 AM and I stretch my body a little and close my eyes. I start to clear my mind, even though it sounds easy it clearly is not. After 15 minutes of trying it and finally knowing that I have done it I think about the breathing skill and say
"Activate"
Opening my eyes I see only darkness as far as my sight goes and I am floating in this dark place. Suddenly two small orbs made from a white themed light and a black themed light started floating in front of me. This two represents my adaptability with both attributes and right now both of them are barely the size of a marbel.
In my information about what I should I do next and by which way I do it will it be the most effective fills my mind. I look at both the orbs and use both my hands to hold them and start to give away my mana to them as by this way my affinity with them will increase. I can also do one at a time and it will be faster as well but by doing that way I won't be able have complete harmony with them but if I do it the way I am doing it right now even though It will take a lot of time and mana but I will have perfect harmony with them.
After what feels like 2 minutes pass by I suddenly feel a shock and my concentration with the skill breaks. I open my eyes and breath heavily. My body is soaked with sweat and I feel powerless. I look at the time and see it's 11:30 AM, so only thirty minutes passed and then thinking if their were any changes I open my stats.

My mana went to 0. So that is the reason why I was broken from my concentration. But the good news is my stats were upgraded as HP went by 2 points, Strength went by 1 point, Agility went by 1 point and Constitution went by .04 points. I also unlocked the Affinities option. And also my mastery with Light and Darkness increased by 1%.
But the only problem with that is my Mana Capacity. Because my Mana capacity is so low I can't practice more. I need to find a way to increase my Mana capacity even if temporarily.
As I thick about this I suddenly have a revelation and I slap my forehead while thinking I am such a fr*cken idiot, I have a bank with close to a blank check and a mall with nigh infinite stuff and here I am thinking about how to get a item which can increase my mana capacity.
I call the system and say "System open the shop and find me some elixirs which can temporarily increase my mana capacity with close to no repercussions"
