Creation and Destruction

Julian silently left his parents' room at midnight. He paused at the door for a moment, taking one last glance at Regina, who was now sleeping soundly.

A warm smile crossed his lips as he closed the door behind him and walked through the dimly lit corridors back to his room. 

Once inside, he teleported and vanished to his personal world, appearing in the middle of the towering peaks of one of the mountains in his world. 

Hovering above the terrain, Julian descended gracefully onto the green surface below. He sat in the lotus position, the cool breeze brushing against his face, and began to focus his mind.

"System, absorb the mana," Julian commanded.

The system quickly responded, "Yes, Host. Initiating absorption." 

Julian felt waves of energy enveloping him, flowing through his body like a rushing tide. These energies were powerful than any he had encountered before, their intensity almost overwhelming.
