Chapter 23: Time to visualise

As the pain began to worsen, Zenn sat up from the ground and massaged his temples. Luckily though, it seemed that the pain in his head was only passing through and was not even comparable to a headache.

But even if it was, it would not later to Zenn. Simply because his earlier thoughts seemed to the been true. As he had believed, after 10%, something did happen.

Just like what happened before, knowledge was once again engraved in his head.

And once again he felt his heart get excited at the thought what the knowledge entailed.

Time...

A power that practically everyone has at least once dreamed of. This was not just nerds like Zenn who had fantasies of such a power. Anyone who is not a six year old or less should have once thought of this.

It may be a wish to go into the future an see it's beauty, or desires to go back in time to either relive the memories long past.

The main point is, no one would say no to such s power. And no one would be able to say calm with the possibility to control it in their grasp.

Well, except Zenn.

For unlike when he first got the reality related knowledge, he had already expected this. So he was not as anxious as last time to get fully grasp the power.

As such, unlike last time, he did not go running down a mountain and search everywhere for a pen or stick to write whatever was in his mind down. He also of course did not jump towards the ground and start jotting with his mere finger.

He was a lot calmer this time. Calmness was of course only what he had shown. Under he mask was curiosity and excitement. Anticipation to experience the truth of what is in his mind.

But he faced a little problem.

"Where should i write?"

He looked a the sand ground with had many written letters of all kinds and forms seemingly never seen before. Unlike what he had expected, days have passed but the writing he has made that night have still to yet disappear. Only a few letters have been washed away by the rising tides, but the others far from the sea were although not in perfect condition, were still readable.

But it only made sense, after all, unlike how he sees it, these writing were not mere doodles on the sand. To this world, these writings looked like trenches than anything else. So of course they would not disappear so easily.

As such, he was not sure if he should remove what is already written on the ground and rewrite the time knowledge instead. Or maybe he could just leave and find another level spot the write his things on.

'I guess I should cancel it all. All of this is already in my head aleeady so i won't be taking a step back.'

But as he was just about to get to that, he remembered something.

It was on that day when he received his reality bases knowledge. It was after that that he started jotting down these letters like crazy. At some point, Zenn had ended up passing out. But although he had passed out, he still remembers what happened.

Before he passed out, he remembered having run out of viable space to write on. In that moment, something interesting happened. The letters in his mind all formed in sky and started arranging themselves. Well, they weren't actually arranging themselves, they were actually under Zenn's unconscious control.

It was like how one would be able to calculate a very hard mathematical question in their heads without any need of a calculator or s piece of paper to write on. Zenn wanted to do the same.

So he asked himself, 'how did i do thst if the first place?'

As he had remembered, he had previously used his head all up to overdrive. He basically overexerted himself until he even passed out. So he couldn't help but cone to a certain thought.

'That time... was i crashing? Were all those letters just illusions then?'

Although Zenn was no computer, from the way thing happened that night, it seemed too much like how a computer crashes. The screen starts showing weird stuff(hallucinations) and then it shuts down(passes out).

But evening he was hallucinating at that time, something was clear.

'I don't need a surface to write down what's on my mind. I just need to use my head. The information is all still in my head, i just nees to...'

That thought was never finished as Zenn immediately closed his eyes and visualized the letters in his head.

In his mind, hundreds of different words and letters clustered together to form... a globe.

A globe so condensed in letters that it seemed to be a deep blue black than the light blue letter that formed it.

This glove in his mind, was the time knowledge in his head. Well, technically it was just how he saw it. Knowledge did not truly have a form. But visualisation of what he was working with is never a bad thing.

Whilst he was at it, Zenn even formed the reality based knowledge. Unlike the dark blue orb with few meters on its surface here and there, the reality orb was red. It was also dark at its center and seemed like blood than anything else, but there was another difference other than colour.

Around the orb, like moons on a planet or planets on a star, letters forming different words and meanings orbited the orb.

But this whole visualising thing was not done for the already learnt reality knowledge, bit instead the new and anticipated time knowledge.

So changed started forming in Zenn's mind scape.
