Finally VISION!

"OUT OF EVERYTHING, A METEOR!? YOU COULDN'T EVEN TURN ME INTO A SLIME?"

[SYSTEM]

We would be killed with copyright.

"...Good point."

[SYSTEM]

.... Would the host like to experience vision?

"You read my mind but, really? Since when can meteors see?"

[SYSTEM]

It wouldn't be seeing in the conventional sense. You would have an invisible zone around you, allowing you to perceive everything within that zone.

"What are you waiting for? Get it up and running—I wanna finally be able to see!"

[NOTICE]

Zone vision would cost the host 200 celestial energy.

"Huh? What's celestial energy and how do I even obtain that? I can't even move!"

[SYSTEM]

Celestial energy is the energy needed for your path to evolution and the currency for system functions. It can be gathered from celestial energy powered objects or entities, a source of energy more commonly known as "cosmic energy."

Carter thought. "Wait, so I just... float around and gather energy from space? Is that the deal?"

Correct. However, there is an alternative method: You may shrink your size to gather 5 celestial energy per foot reduced in size. THE host is currently 300 feet in size, which means you can shrink 40 feet to acquire 200 celestial energy for the vision function.

Carter groaned. "So pretty much what your telling? I can either shrink like some kind of… I don't even know or suck energy from stars? This is ridiculous. how am I supposed to do that when I can't move!?"

[NOTICE]

Host does not have any celestial energy. Would the host like to shrink to obtain 200 celestial energy?

"Sigh, yeah, I don't really have a choice. Goodbye, darkness!."

Carter felt a strange twinge of movement, as if his entire form was compressing. The sensation was odd, but not unbearable. Slowly, he began to shrink, the immense 300-foot size dwindling in increments. His body—well, meteor—compressed, reducing to 260 feet in length. He felt lighter, a sense of—well, nothing; he was still suspended in the void, drifting.

[SYSTEM]

200 celestial energy acquired, 200 celestial energy deducted.

Zone vision available.

"Alright, let's see this vision thing,... Ha get it see...vision... nevermind" Carter muttered. "Let's finally get some light in this... whatever this is."

[SYSTEM]

Activating Zone Vision.

Carter waited, but at first, nothing changed. His world remained a vast, empty void. Then he felt it—his awareness expanding in all directions, like the ripples from a stone thrown into water. He could sense things, though not yet able to see them and his sight wasn't much different from before, the limits of his perception were clear.

"I can... see things," he said, more to himself than the system. "But it's not like I can see them. It's more like… I'm aware of them."

[SYSTEM]

Current range of Zone Vision: 10 miles.

Carter frowned. "Ten miles? That's it? I thought it was going to be something more but beggers can't be choosers.

[SYSTEM]

The host's current size limits the range of perception. As the host grows larger or upgrades the skill, the radius of vision will expand.

"Well, that's a bit anticlimactic," Carter muttered. "Ten miles isn't much for a cosmic entity, is it?"

He tried to make sense of his new abilities. He could feel the energy of objects within his 10-mile zone—faint, wandering meteors, and the gentle pull of nearby planets. Everything was there, but just out of direct sight, like knowing something was happening on the other side of a wall.

"Still, I guess it's better than nothing," Carter sighed. "And it's not like I have many options."

He focused on a nearby asteroid, feeling its mass and energy radiating within his range. It was like he could sense its presence, even though he couldn't actually "see" it.

[SYSTEM]

Would the host like to begin gathering celestial energy from nearby cosmic phenomena?

Carter glanced around. "Yeah, sure. But I can't exactly start anything; I can't move, but assuming you're next question will tell me how...hell yea"
