I woke up in the same place I was before sleeping, it was midnight and it seems that mom and dad went to sleep together today.

Before the thoughts of existential dread managed to sneak in I decided to enter my soulspace to truly experience magic for the first time in my life.

I closed my eyes and this time I didn't have to spend too much time in order to find that little dot of light.

My mind went blank for a moment and here I was, in the grassland once more.

The sole difference being that the crystal that once floated in the weird void outside the soulspace was now in front of the white orb I turned into here.

How am I floating like this? And how can I move without any limb?

Anyway, recalling what I was supposed to do I tried emptying my mind and looking into the void outside.

...

Absolutely nothing. I went near the crystal and it showed my status which was exactly the same as it was the last time I checked except the addition of Ignia's blessing and the fireball under the skill section.

I noticed many things I hadn't before, first was the fact that the grassland was black and white, the second that the size of the soulspace was not as big as it seemed in the first glance, it was about as big as a 3m sphere if my perspective was the same as in the real world.

I went near the barrier that while I didn't notice while with Ignia, was grey in color and everything past it was pitch black.

I moved a little closer to the barrier and noticed water like waves that started from seemingly nowhere and rippled throughout the barrier. It was kind of like a pond in light rain but with the rain drops not being visible.

They looked colorful without any colors and beautiful even after looking like a everyday phenomena. I felt a strange compulsion to touch the barrier so I did. Then I suddenly felt my perspective change.

One moment I was a orb and in the second a huge sphere. I looked around and found many white points of light surrounding me.

I found mana!! I will become the greatest pyromani... I mean mage in the world.

Truthfully speaking the biggest fantasy I had as a youth was to conjure fires huge enough to match entire countries in size.

I was kind of discouraged by the things Ignia said but one thing I learned while roaming the world looking for a glimpse of supernatural was the fact that the outside world was not in man's control, what he can influence is his actions.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

While the actions might ultimately turn out to be useless, what would matter in the end when you are lying on your death bed is fact that even if you achieved absolutely nothing in life you would have lived by your heart.

I willed with all my imagination for the specks of light to move towards me and they did.

I expected them to be blocked by the barrier but they passed without resistance. Strangely enough I didn't feel anything at all.

I saw the orbs that I absorbed get replaced by more orbs that were originally further away and I also noticed the fact that the barrier that was originally blocking the orbs that accidently touched it was now absorbing those orbs.

I felt my perspective change again, I was once again the small white orb in the grassland.

Why am I suddenly back here? *Sigh* it's not as if I am getting any answers.

I noticed that there were now specks of white sprinkled around the soulspace and they were slowly but surely being consumed by the crystal.

I waited for a while for something to happen and as soon as the crystal absorbed all the orbs a screen appeared in front of me.

NOTIFICATION!

Congratulations to player for becoming a awakened. Player is awarded with the passive skill 'mana attraction' and basic mana related knowledge.

Start transfer of knowledge? (y/n)

Finally, I am going to get some answers, yes!

As soon as I thought the yes the screen vanished and almost immediately I was rushed with a torrent of information.

It was not painful but uncomfortable nonetheless. And as soon as the torrent had swept me up in it's currents the whole procedure stopped

...

I finally have some answers! Not to many questions but answers nonetheless. First thing I understood is that I can practice spells here in a simulated room that can be accessed by touching the crystal and thinking about the spell you want to practice.

When you enter the soulspace your body enters a sleep like state and if woken up you will instantly exit the soulspace and appear in the real world.

The white orb I exist as in the soulspace is my consciousness and the grassland is the rest of the soul. Casting any spells directly inside the soulspace is highly dangerous as it might tear a hole in the barrier and any damage to the barrier will kill him.

And lastly there were some pieces of information about the system itself.

The spells I have is called a invocation spell and can be casted by saying 'Fireball'. I called out to the screen and it appeared in front of me.
