Chapter 7

Later on that day i still haven't found any nearby villages so before sunset i already search for a place i can rest on

And since i didn't find any, i just decided to rest on a tree branch again

After i ate, i decided to convert the time i took from the boars

And so i sat in the tree branch i would rest on and closed my eyes

Is this how you should do it? Or should i sit cross legged or in a lotus position? I really don't have an idea

[:The host doesn't need any special sitting position while converting the time stolen from the boars, all you need to do is focus and sit in a comfortable position]

I decided to listen to the system and sat in a comfortable position and tried to do the thing

Seconds become minutes, soon it almost reach an hour, still nothing happened

Uhm, sorry but i really don't have an idea on how to convert it, using the power is easier since it only need my will and mental....

As i trailed off i got an idea on how to do it

I closed my eyes again, this time much more comfortably and at ease, just like when i'm sleeping

I started thinking of my power, and tried to will the time stolen, although i felt something, its still not enough

[: Think of something that you can use to imagine your power more easily as well as the time stolen and try to connect or blend the two. Specially the chronoheart, think of the chronoheart as a vessel and your time stored in it]

Following the advice, i started thinking of my power, since its Temporal Power i tried to think of something related to it

First thing that came to my mind is a clock, and batteries can represent the stolen time, but i find it a little bit weird so i tried to think of other things that can better represent a vessel

Vessel, vessel, vessel hmmm

Other than a clock, clock tower? No. A bell? Not really. Maybe a pocketwatch? Nope its almost the same as a clock

Ohh wait!! An Hourglass!!

Yeah an hourglass would be good since the hourglass itself would be the chrono heart and then the sand inside is the time, hmmm while the stolen time would also be a sand that i need to put inside it

If that is the case then a half hourglass would be better

I think this would be a good one

I started to image the hourglass in my head as well as the sand inside and outside, hourglass as the chrono heart and sand as the time

As i tried to fill the hourglass with the time my mind wondered about my dream

It is said that everything started when a ball of mass energy exploded and started to expand, thinking about it, that must be space

And within space, celestial bodies are formed and have been given life, the concept of time has already started at the very beginning of the universe

Ohh, wasn't time i stole from the boars are their lifespans? Then doesn't that mean

At that moment i realized something

Lifespan is the time given to you on how long you can stay in this world, and sometimes these lifespans aren't being used till the very end because of sometimes you either die early or other reasons

Time can give life, but time can also take it back.

By giving meaning to time, we give meaning to life

["Your understanding of the concept and power of time has increased dramatically"]

["Your proficiency in handling the power of time has increased"]

["You have taken a peek in the "truth" of the universe"]

["The Dormant/Innate Spatial power has been partially unlocked"]

["You have taken a step towards enlightenment"]

[The skill "Temporal Eyes" has been unlocked]

[The skill "Blink" has been unlocked]

["The conditions have been met"]

["You can now hover and move in the air by the combined power of Time and Space"]

["Your inventory capacity has increased significantly"]

["Your body has been strengthened through the power of time"]

["ChronoHeart has expanded"]

Multiple notifications has appeared after i realized something about time

When i saw the notifications i was shocked there are so many!

Enlightenment, new skills, capacity and body too not only that but i can fly now?!

And what does taken a peak in the truth of the universe means?

After organizing my thoughts i finally calmed down and resumed what i am doing

Well this is understandable as i already read many novels and stories that includes temporal and spatial manipulation, sometimes i even researched what this abilities capabilities at max as well as sometimes i also think, wonder and question myself on what is time, how it exactly works, and etc.

If i can't even figure out this much then that would be embarassing

And so i continued what i am doing before

While converting the time i stole, i can feel that it really became easier, does that mean i'm now more efficient in handling my power?

I also saw that i partially unlocked the power of space? To think that i have the power of time and space, i'm really lucky

After almost 5 hours of meditating, i was finally finished. I now have 200 years of time, i can also live for 200 years now you know, that is if nothing goes wrong

After a while i decided to call it a day

_______

2 weeks has passed and in those weeks other than fighting beasts and searching for a nearby village nothing really happened much

At the day i slept after the notifications i also resume my search, and met a couple of beasts that are a little bit stronger than the boars, there are also some insects beasts that are really big too

There are beasts that i encountered at the next days that are clearly a level above the boars, in front of these beasts i didn't even contemplate and just decided to run away from them

Temporal Eyes and Blink are really helpful to me

Temporal eyes is like a scanner, since i can see multiple lifespans all over the place, i can clearly see the enemies that are strong and weak

Though there are some cases that the lifespans of other beasts specially the old ones, since they have weak vitality and a limited lifespans i thought they aren't dangerous so i often ran into them but thanks to blink and my power i was able to escape them barely

There are times that i would really need to fight, i decided to try the sword since i really wanna try it, but when i held it in my hands i know that i might have an affinity for the swords

I was able to incorporate my power to the sword, using my accelerated speed and power to decelerate them together with the blink i was able to hunt more efficiently than before

In the past week i tried to be more productive as much as possible so i tried to train myself too specially the ability to fly!!

In my first few tries i wasn't able to even lift myself in the ground but after focusing more i was able to do it albeit not for long

Right now my goal is to be able to fly higher, faster and much longer if possible forever!! After all who doesn't want to fly? Anyone will want to!!

So yeah right now i'm hovering in the air moving although not really fast, i'm trying to improve so i will practice it everyday more until i get better at it

While moving in the forest still in the air while humming a song, i saw a beast that looks like a tiger or something, although it doesn't look big, the aura it exudes is much more terrifying than other beasts i have encountered so far

I should avoid it really lets take a detour and proceed

I would have done exactly that, after all who will want to face that terrifying beast?! It looks so ferocious and strong just by looking at the aura it emits!!

But that's when i saw a ragged man that looks like he would die soon

I haven't been able to see him because the tiger beast is blocking my vision but when i step sideways to take a detour thats when i saw him

He should know where is the nearest village right?
