After the 9th day in detention and after the last two tortures he inflicted on me. My jailer took me to an illuminated room where a chair connected to several copper cables. What would be the next experiment? Hit me to death then collect my mana with these cables? In truth, it was none of that. He fixed me to the chair and hung what appeared to be suction cups with wires on my skin. Then he hung a purple device on my head. After a while, the man said to me:

"Little test! What does the mosquito do when it follows the purple light? Answer: it burns raw!" he exclaimed, laughing as he spoke. Another curious phrase I thought. Then I thought about a way to escape and a furious electric discharge burst through the suction cups on my skin. I clenched my fists and my face deformed with pain. Five seconds of discharge had exhausted me. My body trembled and I lost all sense of my senses. I reflected after a few minutes and a discharge struck me again. I was suffocating with pain. A smell of burnt flesh emanated from my bruised body whose skin was turning black in places. "What's going on?" I said to myself and I received another discharge.

"I can't take it anymore" and a new dump hit me. Then I had a flash of lucidity, every time I was thinking, the device was giving me a shock, I had absolutely not to think. I resisted ten minutes and a discharge touched me again. Then thirty minutes and a new discharge. Finally, I managed to hold on for almost two hours without thinking when a final discharge put me completely K.O. A notification appeared just before I fainted. Notification! Following a major disorientation that was suffered and resisted gain +1 point Mental Source" And I sank.

I woke up in my cell in the middle of the night. My body showed many electrical scars where the suction cups were attached. My body looked like it was hit by two lightning bolts in a storm. I ate the rice bread that was on a table and sat down, sore from the ordeal I had gone through. Then I remembered the notification I had received. What was the Mental Source? Then for the first time, I saw an explanatory video that was displayed before my eyes. Is that new? Since when we can visualize things like that. I looked at my statutes quickly when I stopped on a: 'Blessing of the great Wise Observer'. I had mysteriously obtained this status it is necessarily related I thought. I then looked at the video:

'The mental source is a capacity that can be obtained through unknown circumstances. It is the amount of absorption of etheric waves from the brain. The higher it is, the more powerful the resulting abilities of the Mental Source. These waves present themselves as micro-atoms that remain hidden as long as they are unused. Overload after heavy use of the mental source results in an overall decrease in stats up to 60%. Then the video ended, a notification appeared: "Notification! Adding the Mental Source to the system, calculating the current level. . . Level 3!. To regain etheric waves, practice meditation, use the awakening technique or steal the waves from the corpses of defeated enemies". You can steal the waves from corpses? Is it possible to steal the waves from corpses?What does it do to raise the level? And what is the technique of awakening? While I was asking myself all these questions, a new video appeared explaining the technique of awakening. You had to undergo what had enabled to obtain the mental source. In other words, I had to get electrified to gain levels in this area.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

After what happened, I don't think I'd be ready to do the electroshock thing again anytime soon. Remembering the experience, my mind calmed down and emptied very quickly, leaving room for the sound from outside the tower. My cell was on the 2nd floor but for some days, it was impossible for me to use my mana, perhaps because of whom I suffered.

On the 10th day of my detention, I stood up with my body numb and then grabbed the rice bread on the table and ate it. "Notification! After prolonged exposure to poison, gain +1 point Resistance to poison"

I spit out the rest of the bread on the ground, it had poisoned me! What were the effects of the poison? I lost my temper thinking about all the identical meals I had eaten. I had to leave and quickly! I kept thinking faster, I needed a solution at all costs. Then, in a slow noise, the door opened and the pumpkin-headed man was there, smiling.

"So little mosquito, do we still want light?"

I swallowed loudly. I hoped he was joking. And he took me back to the room where I had suffered so much.

"Here we go again"

After the second discharge, a notification appeared:"Notification! Following the increase of etheric waves gain capacity ' Etheric Projection', +1 point Mental Source.

Then to the 5th discharge." Notification! Following the increase of etheric waves gain capacity 'Etheric Barrier' +1 point Mental Source.

At the end of my torture, I had gained 3 points in mental source and two abilities. However, this did not remove the pain I was going through. And I sank again into darkness. On the 11th day I failed to lift my back from the bed. My body was littered with lightning-shaped scars and streaks and multiple burns.

My mind was calm on the other hand and I tried something. I had acquired these two abilities and they did not depend on the mana. Maybe they would work?

I then used the 'Etheric Projection' ability, a blackish smoke emanated from my whole body and I came out of my body. Or rather, I rose above, my body was made of thousands of atoms invisible to the naked eye and I could cross anything thanks to this body. I went out of my cell to finally contemplate the moon in all its splendour. The wind carried me lightly like a leaf on an autumn morning. I counted use this ability to find a fault in the tower. In view of the level of my current mental source, I could go up to 75 meters around me. After 30 minutes to look, I saw a fault: when I went down the stairs to the sub-Floor, there was a hatch that led to a hidden door and to the outside. I could use it to escape but how to reach it? Then as genius touched me. My new ability could be created objects?

I came out of my projection state back into my body. I still could not move however, I waited in the morning to recover and then tried to get up. I managed with difficulty. I walked to the door of my cell and then tried to create tools by the force of my thought. Nothing happened, so I tried several different techniques in vain. Suddenly, a blackish smoke escaped from my hand, and materialized crochet tools as if by magic, even if magic was common, it exceeded my expectations. I felt that my Mental Source was quickly exhausted as the tools were present. So I hastened to use them.

A *click* was heard and the door opened, opening the first step towards freedom.
