Chapter 2: a grasp of power

Hey everyone I'm back, it's been like week I guess? I don't fucking know I don't got a way to tell the time. I mean I could if I WASN'T BURIED UNDERGROUND. Like for fucks sake.

I was just expanding my border and thought "you know what maybe I should try to find the surface." turns out I'M UNDER GROUND. Like bruuhhh I expanded like 50 feet above and below, I found another cave before I found the surface. Also turns out the border is like my area of influence.

I was doing some test with some rocks and found out I can do literally anything so long it's in this border of sorts. But when things go beyond that border I immediately lose all connection to it.

I've also figured out how to 'manipulate' things. I can float, fling, shatter, and anything else I can come up with to a rock so long as I have 'energy'.

Whats this energy you may ask? Well you can think of it as like mana, but I won't call it that because it sounds cringe and I'm very based..... I think.

Anyway this energy is the thing I've been passively accumulating over the course of my time here. I've also just learned I can make things with energy. Like say more stone.

Energy is spent to make said stone, but here's the neat part, it's a 100% refund of energy when I want to absorb it back. I mean I could just use energy to break, which I also figured out, but here's the thing I use energy to break it and get nothing back. I don't like this method. Although the former method is slightly harder than the latter. A small difference in convenience is nothing compared to getting a full refund.

Balls

Why the fuck did I just say that? I firmly believe I am mentally insane. Not that I had doubts before though, all the games I played with my friends and classmates is more than enough for me to realize that.

I mean like come it was funny, why do they gotta be like that for real.

Anyway getting side tracked there. With the absorbing method I can reuse the mana to create something else. To be honest I tried turning the stone into diamond once. Hoo boy I was out like a light, don't know for how long, BUT TIME IS IRRELEVANT WHEN I CAN MAKE PURE DIAMONDS APPEAR OUT OF THIN AIR.

I lifted up a tiny diamond That was on top of a stone block the size of a table. I will not call it a table, it does not have legs therefore it is not a table, bite me I dare you.

Anyway the diamond was fucking tiny. It was the same size of my "heart". The heart being the glass marble that for some reason looks slightly bigger now. Anyway the diamond was, although not shining due to the lack of sunlight, it was a perfect diamond, even with my untrained eye I can tell you it was beautiful.

Streamlined sides slid down perfectly symmetrical with each other formed a perfect cone at the bottom, in which had a faint luster of deep ocean blue. On top of it was a evenly flat surface, smooth to the touch and eye candy to the biggest of perfectionist.

All in all, all I could say is.

Sheeeeeeeesh

Back from the brief eloquent description, which I believe is the incorrect use of the word eloquent, wait a minute NO... I KNOW is the incorrect use of the word eloquent, I look around the room and sigh.

I put back the diamond to where it was and criticize the room I am in. OK I know I'm a simple man, but goddamn is this room to simple, how can someone expect a man from middle-income household and from the 21st century to live in these conditions. Or well exist may be the better word.

Huh, looks like my narcissism came along with me. Baah it wouldn't be problem.

So I do the only thing I can do, try to absorb the ambient energy around me. I groan at the small trickles of energy come towards my heart. Yeah I just figured out how to see the energies in this world.

Although yes they were small trickles, if wasn't for the fact that there was a shitton of energy that I for some reason isn't absorbing is frustrating. Is this what it feels like to have asthma? I don't like it.

I offer my condolences to the people with asthma, I promise I will never bully the mentally handicapped ever again.

*cough* gays *cough*

I'm such a fucking asshole. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

Wait a minute, WHY AM I APOLOGIZING TO A WALL? YOU LITERALLY DO NOT EXIST RANDOM VOICES. I think. BUT THAT IS BESIDES THE POINT, I AM NOT GAY, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME.

Maybe I should have gotten psychological counseling when I had the chance like what my parents and friends told me to do. Oh well, it is what it is.

If you ever have a problem in life just bury it all down and let bubble so that you can have one heck of a outbursts when it finally goes kabluwee.

And when you do have that outburst, you do the next best thing, walk it off. If you don't realize I'm joking, seek help if you don't feel alright, don't let it boil, I've had enough experiences of finding out my friends or family being sent to the hospital, because it was too much to handle.

The more you know. Insert meme.

Anyway BACK TO WORK. I want to find a way for me to absorb all of the energy around me, not just the specific kinds of energy, I want all of it.

So my first experiment was of me forcing it into my heart, I got a bit of mana, but it unexpectedly hurt. It didn't hurt that much, it was more of a pinch, although it did feel like getting pinched continously all over my body. Needless to say I crossed that one out.

Next I tried making some sort of filtration system. I don't even have to tell you, that it didn't work. It was basically just experiment one, but with extra steps.

With no other option I decided to do the most common tactic I employ in a pinch. Shoving all down my throat and hope I don't barf it all out or die.

And so I did. Well I mean I haven't done it yet, but I was going to. This massive ball of dirty energy isn't standing there just to be a decoration.

OK now, commencing shoving. In 3... 2.... 1..... SHOVE.
