The Mental Void Method

[What is the mental void method] asks Lex.

{Ding, The Mental Void Method - A cultivation method that pulls on the void and space itself and links it to your mind, emotions and eyes and was formed due to host attempting to suppress and understand his emotions and accidentally tapping into the void at the same time} the system explains.

{Ding, due to you accidentally using it, the host has unlocked the Mortal Mental Void Method that can be learnt at any time and is within the inventory} the system announces.

As he heard this Lex was overjoyed but felt one thing that he couldn't forget.

After seemingly appearing in the void, then returning to his body, Lex felt that he had an extreme feeling of emptiness and for the first time felt clear-minded.

{Ding, an effect of cultivating the Mental Void method is the feeling of emptiness while cultivating, which encapsulates your emotions and uses them as a fuel for you to manipulate space itself, but the more it is cultivated the more suppressed your emotions will be}

As he heard this, he was happy that he would no longer have to feel negative emotions, but he realised it also meant he couldn't feel happiness, love and other positive emotions.

{Ding, emotions cannot be removed and as an Eye Master you should know that the most, but they can be suppressed which depending on the situation can be a good or bad thing}

Hearing this, it reminded him of Eye Masters, but from what he knew of the continent he was on is that there weren't any Eye Masters.

[Just what the hell is the system and how large is the world exactly] he thinks to himself.

Despite currently being on the Lower Plains and everyone being much more powerful than in his past reality, one thing he couldn't get rid of was the feeling that he was secluded and people were still scared to explore and widen their horizons out of the continent.

[I am the first cultivator on this continent and will be the first to explore the rest of the Lower Plains, and will also protect Angela in this reality and will make Ella fall for me and make sure she never has to worry again] he decides.

[System show me my status]

{Ding, the host's current status is:

Name-Lex Black

Body Power LVL- Mortal LVL 2

Energy Power LVL- Mortal LVL 6

State- Healthy

Eye Powers- Spacial Eye, Scouting Eye

Skills- None}

Seeing his status Lex found that his body was lacking behind his energy and currently he was lacking a cultivation method for his body and also didn't want to follow what others call levelling because he could sense it was a longer process with weaker results.

[I will have to make do with only levelling my energy until I gain a cultivation method at LVL 100 like last time] he decides as he opens his eyes.

Looking around him he saw that all the orphanage children and the old lady had gathered around him and sat down watching Lex closely as his facial expressions and his body would randomly have outbursts.

"How long has it been," he asks.

"Around a day and a half" answers the lady.

GGRR

His stomach rumbled loudly after not eating, and despite the absorption of energy, Lex's weak body would still require food.

All the orphanage children began to laugh at the weird boy with long white hair who sat in the corner for an entire day.

Getting up off the ground, Lex felt sore all over as he began to stretch.

"Granny I will be back in tomorrow and I have left Ashura with you guys anyway," says Lex as he leaves receiving a furious look from Ashura who was being played with like a pet by the children.

[I was once the god of war and chaos, yet now I am in the form of a raven and begin played with] thought Ashura to himself.

While the old woman stood there in thought.

"This kid must have one of those legendary methods to increase their strength like those in the royal families" she mumbles.

Currently levelling would only use energy in the most basic way, by either revolving it around your muscles and bones after training your body, externally, or by absorbing energy and circulating it within your internal body and strengthening your energy storage and the energies density, internally.

Cultivation, although fundamentally the same thing, would give the energy an elemental root and also additional unique abilities and functions which are unlocked through following the method.

Skills are used the same by both levellers and cultivators, but their strength when using them has a large gap.

{Ding, information report - the royal families have cultivation methods according to the woman} announces the system.

Hearing this Lex was even more curious to explore the inner and core countries and realised he wasn't the first real cultivator, but currently, in this large continent, he was still a weak cannon fodder and on the Lower Plains was an insignificant speck of dust.

Although it was day, Lex didn't have the time to waste and felt that he was saturated of energy after cultivating for a day and wanted to battle and complete some missions and wanted to earn spirit coins for food and the orphanage.

[Time to become Ashura again] he states.

Rushing into a nearby alleyway.

"Kano"

A white robe appears out of thin air and was floating before the youth with long white hair.

The robe engulfed the youth and wrapped around him forming a long white robe around him.

Putting his hood up, Lex rushes out of the alleyway and heads to the third mission he had accepted from the Voltiac Guild.

[Another wild beast in the slums that needs to be defeated and it is in a similar area and there were also other beast hunting missions in the slums] thought Lex.

Lex went by the idea that once is random, twice is a coincidence and three times is a sign and more than three times is a problem.

[There must be a beast den in the slums for there to be so many beasts in the slums]

"Well I guess everything just got serious"
