Talented And Awesome

Jayden stopped in his tracks making Draven who was following closely behind almost bump into him.

"Illusion? How is that even supposed to work?"

[Illusion is an aspect of reality that allows you to bend what you make people see and perceive to your will]

"I can't conjure my affinity, so then how am I meant to even make use of it? Are there skills that are related to illusions, if there are, it'll make things a lot easier."

[Easy, you do not need skills, use your hallucinogen]

[In this case, you are able to conjure and control your aspect of reality unlike others]

[I told you previously that the hallucinogen that made you feel like you were falling for days in the Devil's Abode and made you temporarily loose all your senses originated from the Creation Orb, so if you find a way to make the Creation Orb produce hallucinogen at a fast pace at your will, it will be like you can conjure and control your aspect of reality]

"I see, but why do you keep calling it an aspect of reality, I don't think it is an aspect of reality unlike time, space, life, death, gravity and the likes."

[It is an aspect of reality because when you attain a high mastery in your control of your illusion powers, you might be able to control reality itself]

"That's.... OP!! I feel like the gods are trying to pacify me after going through all the shit I went through recently." Jayden smiled and looked up to the sky.

A bird the size of Draven, fleeted above Jayden's head as it headed towards Jayden's previous position with breakneck speed.

The beasts he had met on his way had surpassed the number of twenty and this was just one direction, he had made a wise decision by leaving that place in time, if not, he didn't know what could have happened.

__________

Jayden came to a stop at the base of a fairly large tree, the dense maze of trees had reduced slightly, which meant that he was slowly leaving the forest.

His throat was dry after running and fighting for hours, it was a surprise that he had not passed out from the lack of water, he only noticed now that his thirst wasn't what he expected it to be like.

"The Creation Orb." Jayden came to a conclusion.

[What was that?]

"Nothing, I'm just wondering why I'm not hungry or thirsty even after a whole day had passed since I last ate or drank water."

[That is the Creation Orbs doing]

[It is sustaining you and keeping your body from deteriorating]

"I better not test my limits now and find a clean water source to quench my thirst." Jayden's voice croaked slightly.

He glanced to his side at the almost invisible Draven to finally study his new looks.

Jayden could properly see Draven due to his night vision and the Mech Suits night vision which overlapped, giving him a proper view of everything under the dark night sky.

"Nahshon, can you tell if he has any new skills?"

[No, not until he uses it]

"Open the Void Space." Jayden said.

Without any delay, a crack in space was seen, it expanded into Jayden's size and stabilized before Jayden walked into it confidently, not without scrutinizing it properly.

Draven jumped after him into the Void Space.

Inside, Jayden stepped into a dark space that stretched for as long as he could see, it was void of light and the only source of light was him, his body glowed in an ominous purple hue that could have made his enemies shudder in fear, but he only attained that form when he entered the void Space and he didn't even really need light as he had night vision.

He deactivated his Mech Suit and sat cross legged in the lotus position.

[What are you doing?]

"Using Peaceful Mind." Jayden said before continuing. "Because you almost turned me into a vegetable, after forcefully imparting a martial arts in my brain."

[It was a dire situation]

"I could have just escaped into the Void Space, isn't that what it's for?" Jayden said a little angry.

[THEN WHAT?]

"Huhh...." Jayden was taken back at the Rogue Systems reply.

[If you always chicken out and escape into the Void Space, you will never be brave enough to face the dangers that awaits you]

[And if that is the case, you are not brave....

....because men are brave]

[Besides, I am the one who controls the Void space, you can not get in without my permission hehehe]

Jayden heard the mocking laughter of Nahshon resound in his head.

Jayden ignored it and soon found all sounds disappearing again as he entered another state.

[Mental Recovery+20%]

[Physical Recovery+20%]

[Energy Recovery+20%]

[If you circulate energy through your brain, you can ease your pain and speed up your Mental Recovery by another notch]

"I can't even concentrate properly not to even talk of drawing energy from the Creation Orb, so ho... "

[You drew out energy from the Creation Orb during your fight with the Lone Wolf Hunter]

Nahshon blatantly interrupted Jayden. Jayden was pulled out of Peaceful Mind after replying to Nahshon's remarks but what he said after, shocked him, slowly fractured memories of what happened during his fight came back to him, he remembered doing something that made the Radianium Sword glow and tremble with power, and now that Nahshon mentioned it, he realized that he had actually controlled the energy from the Creation Orb.

"How?!! Wasn't that just the fourth or fifth time I tried pulling energy out of the Creation Orb, so how come I did it in just four tries, isn't it supposed to be something hard?!!"

Jayden felt that he was now cheating, he had been blessed with all manner of powers only to find out that he was talented in another area.

"I knew from the beginning, I always knew it."

[Knew what?]

"Isn't it obvious?"

[...]

"That I'm awesome."

Jayden heard a loud sigh come from Nahshon, if Nahshon had a physical body, he would have face palmed at Jayden's bold utterance. Sometimes Jayden acted like an adult that had gone through many ordeals, and sometimes, like a child.

"By the way, the martial arts you forced on me, is that the only one I'll learn?"

[For now, yes]

"So how many do I still have to learn?" Jayden asked, eager about the prospect of besting any swords man in a fight.

[Infinity]
