The Path of the Mind(2)

Deep in the ancient mage's cave, the sound of weak grunts echoed rhythmically.

The origin of the noise belonged to a certain sleeping cat that was finally waking up after its much-deserved sleep.

"Ahhhh," Reve winced as he felt a weak but sharp pain in his head.

The pain subsidized immediately but he still felt weird. It was as if something was different in him…...the feeling of hangovers that humans always got.

After calming himself, he discovered that his worries were not unfounded. Truly, something had changed in him.

His sight had been enhanced and he could now spot the tiniest detail in his field of sight and he could distinguish a few colour spectrums.

His other five senses; Nose, Ear, Touch, Taste…...all of them had been significantly improved, which cultivated the weird feeling he felt.

If anything, he was now a stranger to his own body.

He would have to take his time to adjust to his newfound self.

"Hmmm….what is this feeling?" mused Reve.

Right after he had dealt with one issue, he landed in another.

A sharp tingle occurred to him for unknown reasons. Due to his upgrade, he could tell that it was different from the previous. This one wasn't violent. Instead, it served as a sort of….warning.

The feeling of trepidation? It started from my head…..,'' thought Reve.

"Hmmm….so this is what I felt. An intrusion on my mind….," realized Reve.

He was finally understanding the methods of the world administrator.

Her method of contact was through a forced entry to the mind of the second party. However, she was quite soft with her means. She didn't harm the second party or else, they would have died due to brain damage or mind-related ailments.

]

"Hmmm, this is too much for me to process," sighed Reve.

With the help of Nixy, he started breaking them down into smaller bits. From the top to the bottom.

First, his level hasn't changed much. It hasn't even increased by one. It was only the exp that was influenced.

Second, just as he had been notified, his paths have been updated.

About the "paths", Reve was already gaining an idea of what they meant due to his encounter with Amethyst. Most likely, the paths signified one's road to power. The roads weren't all the same but when accessed they could all bring out raw power.

Reve's first path lacked any thought behind it; Magic. He jumped into this path without understanding the pros and cons of said magic.

Even to this point, he still had no idea what magic was.

His second and new path was also forced on him. However, this time, he had an idea of what it entailed.

[Path: Mystic Wanderer(Path of Secrets)

-> You have opened the Door of the Mind and accessed this dangerous path. It has endless potential and endless death.

-> A mystic wanderer is a special one with the potential to unveil all corners of the obscure path.]

[Title: Enigma

-> The title of a Mystical Wanderer.

-> It grants this status;

1. Mind-related skills stimulation

2. Mental Paradox: a certain ailment that comes with the forceful opening of one's Door of Mind. It appears randomly and in the form of any mental sickness.]

" Well, that is certainly one way to excite and threaten someone," Reve sighed once more.

He had been informed by Amethyst of the possible curse that would follow him down this path, but Nixy's description of it was much scarier.

Apart from that, the path of secrets was quite sound. It seemed to be the ultimate support path for Reve, especially when he had the magic path for offence and defence.

Reve mentally noted, "The path is unclear. I will have to be careful when traversing. There's nothing to rely on….."

Afterwards, the cat took a look at his attribute window and nodded.

It was pleasing to the eye.

He moved on to the skill window, another window he was curious about.

[Skill: Supernatural Sense(Lv.1)

-> The sense of one who has delved into the supernatural.

-> Just like it's predecessor, it peels off a veil of the world ]

[Skill: Seventh Sense(Lv.1)

-> A skill developed from [Sixth Sense]. It contains the aforementioned [Sixth Sense] and it's innate attributes.

-> It is the sense of a Mystical Wanderer, which enables them "listen" to the perpetual mysteries of the cosmic.]

The rest of his skills were either the same or had increased a bit. He would have to check them out during battle.

As for the dormant skill, he would have to find a way to awaken it

Reve jumped from his chair as he left the cave.

His previous plan was to seclude until he was strong enough to traverse the forest, but now, he had some things to experiment with.

Moreover, Amethyst's words still rang deep in his ears, "You are the weakest candidate….."

Knowing the chaotic god's mindset, he would be forced to fight the other candidate when the time was ripe. Hence, his desire to improve before the said time.

With the knowledge of Arcadish Language, Reve should be able to fortify himself.....he hoped he would be able to.

He now had a real goal that ignited a flame in his heart. He had hope of seeing Myrna again. His dear attendant....

Reve smiled as he focused on that. The cool light granted from above smite his face the moment he was out of the cave's mouth....
