Awakening & The Basics Of Power Conduit.[1]

Tom pushed open a wooden door and entered the brightly lit room.

A Pleasant smell filled the room, surprisingly calming Tom's mind. The air he he breathed in felt so pure and cold, but not actually cold. He felt like he could concentrate on anything and achieve zenith.

"Sit here," An aged person could be seen sitting in lotus postion on the wooden floor. He had a straight white beard giving off a Taoist vibe. Obviously, this was elder Jom who beckoned Tom to sit infront of him.

Exotic plants surrounded Elder Jom in their own pots with colourful flowers and shimmering berries. Some kind of purple stone could be seen surrounding the pot this plants were placed in. Tom identified these purple stones, they were mana stones used for currency and cultivation.

Tom went head and sat infront of elder Jom in a half lotus position.

Elder Jom folded his sleeves and placed his plam on Tom's back-neck.

"Inhale long breaths and exhale shallow breaths," Elder Jom instructed while preparing something.

Tom did as elder Jom said, Soon the pleasant smell of those exotic plants around Elder Jom entered through Tom's nostrils, giving more focus to Tom's mind.

Soon, Elder Jom's hand which was placed on Tom back neck glowed purple. His blood pressure sightly increased, but Tom didn't notice it, he was more more focused on the hand placed on the backside of his neck.

Like a heater when first turned on, Tom felt his chest slowly heat. It felt like hot water slowly moving downwards from his neck to bottom.

Slowly but surely he felt like his blood started boiling, it was literally raining sweat around him. However suddenly he felt his spine ran cold and his entire brain screaming danger.

This was foreign mana entering his vital parts like brain and spine this would naturally trigger ones instincts for danger against this mana.

He bit into his lip, desperately trying not to run. It was proven really hard going agaist you instincts, especially for someone who relied basically on survival instincts in his previous life.

Soon, he was able to adapt. Reason laying in the mysterious plants near him.

"Calm your breathing and try to discern the warmth inside you," Elder Jom continued.

"Now the mana is going neck upwards to the head. Embrace the blessing of the world. Accept the mana inside you. Become a part of it,"

Elder Jom's voice felt waves in a calm ocean. Wave are ment to be violent, Disturbing coming from the source of something diffrent.

But surprisingly his voice felt like a wave he could surf on, it felt clear, very clear. The ocean was cold. Only warmth can remedy the cold.

Tom searched for the warmth. Reaching out towards the warmth he felt warmth. The warmth felt like it could contain life but at the same time also contain anti-life.

The warmth had many properties.

It holds a key to surpass mortality, but, also the same time can be personification of death.

It was immortal and indestructible.¹

it was deconstructable and constructable². It was not humble, not having a hit of respect.

Everywhere it went the lands were conquered by it, Yet it was silent, holding many secrets.³

It was pure force and undeniable.

It was the master of transformation, changing into its brothers and sisters on the whim of others⁴.

It is the humble servent of the soul And the master of ASCENDENCY!

It is known as the PURPLE EMPEROR!

It is MANA!!

Badum! ~ Badum!~

Tom's heart beat loudly.

Crack~!

Suddenly he found himself in a cloudless white space. He was not in his body, because he could clearly feel his body outside?

'Wait outside! where is this?'

Tom felt really wierd now. It's like existing in two perspectives at the same time.

' It felt like some sort of internal thing or internal world that's kind of new' Tom calmly looked around with a tint of exitement.

In this white space he didn't have a body just visualization. He could also strangely feel the entirety of this white space.

He looked up feeling something there, where ever that direction was. There was glowing purple trails in the sky following towards a deep dark abyss.

No it was not just one abyss there are many abysses. These things are like black holes in this white space completely standing out, consuming the purple otherworldly smoke and emitting purple smoke towards other black holes.

The crazy thing about this black hole that seperate it from conventional black holes was, it was exited. It was powerfully vibrating in its own fixed space like someone pinned it down from leaving that specific area.

Tom could also feel this black holes, it acts as somewhat of a storage device for the purple smoke and also a conduit. The black holes felt dense and heavy. He could felt the entirety of the white space and he could also feel that he could move things but this black holes felt really heavy but doable.

Soon Elder Jom's elderly voice was heard,

"Imagine a Starry sky. Let the Magicules be the stars in the sky and let me know after you are able to visualize your innerself"

'Innerself? is this what this state is called. I have already visualized it. The purple smoke is obviously mana and that overly exited blackholes are Magicules which store Mana'

'Should I tell him that I accomplished it already? Nah! It doesn't really hurt to try does it?' Tom thought trying to be an experimentalist while awakening.

Others would think that Tom was crazy doing such things, after all awakening was a delicate and important event, not everyone was daring. But Tom was different 'Nothing dared nothing gained'

He imagined turning the white space into something dark, then he imagined Magicules to be stars in the sky.

Nothing happened in an instant. Maybe, perhaps it was because he already visualized his Innerself.

But then suddenly, everything changed. Magicules shrank into small specks of lights, the white sky suddenly turned dark just like the void of outer space.

Mana ( glowing purple smoke) could be seen moving from one spec to another slowly, forming a beautiful network of purple.

'It would've be even better if there was more Magicules... 1,5,24...100. hmm there're about a hundred Magicules, slightly above average' Tom thought.

Ding!

Eziekiel's voice was heard after a ding.
