New Start

Getting up in the infirmary bed he looks around to find he was in a small room and apart from his bed there was only a nurse in the room who had her back to him.

"I have used some saint arts on you and you have now recovered so may leave," announces to him a voice he recognised but didn't know why.

Pondering on the voice, he finally recognised who it belonged to.

"Angela" he blurts out.

"Please do not call me by my first name, although I have helped you out, we are not close enough for that and I am also a royal so you may be punished by somebody if you talk to me in such a direct way," she warns him with her face drained and from her eyes, one could tell she was going through extreme hardship.

Seeing her like this, he grits his teeth and clenches his fists as he walks out of the room with his skinny, malnourished body. The memories of watching her die flooded his mind, and she also had that expression of loneliness and depression she had before.

[It must be the same in this reality and she is being forced and used as a tool by her father, but I won't let it happen this time] he says to himself.

{Ding, the host has a random Eye Power draw and has a beginner packet to open} announces to him the system.

[So, this really is like a second chance at life, I won't make the same mistakes twice and will protect those I care about in this life] he vows to himself.

Leaving the infirmary, he follows all the signs and after walking for a few minutes finds the exit out of the awakening centre.

He knew this body had nowhere to go or stay at so just found a nearby alleyway and sat within it wanting a quiet and empty area to use what the system has given him.

Sitting in the dark alley which was the complete opposite of the bustling streets full of those who were celebrating their powers, Lex was ready to open his eye power draw.

[System draws a random eye power] he says within his mind, hoping for something good.

{Ding, random eye power has been drawn...}.

{Ding, the host has gained the spacial eye} announces the system.

As he heard this, he almost screamed in joy, but calmed down and gained composure.

{Ding, the spacial eye was gained due to having travelled through the void and breaking space which has increased hosts affinity towards it}.

[What rank is the spacial eye] he asks.

{Ding, the spacial eye is a growth type similar to lightning manipulation eye, and the stronger host becomes and the more host understands, the stronger it will become} explains to him the system.

Knowing this, he felt that he was ready to begin levelling, but realised he didn't know how to get stronger in this reality.

{Ding, similar to cultivation host will need to absorb energy, but you use your power as the centre to become a power leveller and body levellers strengthen their bodies with the energy} tells him the system.

With this, he realised despite his body being malnourished and he would sometimes go days without food, yet was still able to survive due to him unconsciously breathing in energy and sustaining his body.

{Ding, the host is correct energy is everywhere around you and in some areas that naturally have an abundant amount of energy, and to LVL up you use your affinity with energy to stream it into your body in order to strengthen either your power and energy reserves or energy}.

He could feel that the tingling sensation in his eye was different and this reality's universal laws were very different but he wasn't strong enough to comprehend the difference. As his eyes transformed into the spacial eye he could feel there was another space within his eye and there was space all around him.

He was excited to look at how he looks and how his eye looks but didn't have a mirror near him. Staggering his weak body out of the alleyway there was a store on the corner that had a glass front.

Looking into the glass there was a brief reflection and could see that his eyes were completely black including the cornea like a black hole and reminded him of the void, and he had scruffy white hair.

"What the hell, why is my hair white" he exclaims seeing himself.

Others walking past just saw him as a crazy boy with his ripped and dirty clothes and his extremely skinny body, everybody could tell he was homeless.

Realising everybody was looking at him in disgust he lowers his head and scurries into the alleyway and was embarrassed.

{Ding, hosts hair is white due to extreme sadness and malnourishment which drained all the nutrients from your hair as a sacrifice in order to sustain your body} informs him the system.

This made him furious that people could be treated this way, but he learnt from his past life to only care about himself and those he cares about in this cruel world.

"Now to begin levelling as only strength overshadows everything and allows me to accomplish everything I need" he mumbles to himself.

Feeling that his inventory was empty he was upset that everything that he had in his past life that was valuable was lost in the void and destroyed with his body but remembered it was due to his recklessness and stupidity.

"This is my second chance of life with my past experience I won't let the same mistakes happen twice" he declares to himself.

[System open the beginner packet].

{Ding, beginner packet being opened}.

{Ding, the host has gained 5 food pellets, 5 mortal body tempering pills and 5 recovery pills}.

[With this I have enough to strengthen and recover my body and also begin my journey in levelling in my new life] he announces as he feels 15 pills appear in his inventory.
