Jack ponders in his mind. As he reflected on these words, some familiar memories began to surface.

He remembers something from the past. He does not belong to this world; he belongs to a world named Earth.

He does not know much of the details for the time being.

"My soul power increases my natural power and the power of my soul directly."

"Which makes me stronger, and things that were previously hidden rise to the surface."

"I will deal with it later."

"Now, my priority is finishing stages and having some power to defend myself."

He knows that in this world he lives without power or backing.

"My fate will be decided by others."

He needs a fundamental level of power to protect himself and decide his fate.

With motivation, he starts to feel a power surge in his mind and soul. His imaginative stage progresses even faster.

Seconds later, he starts to see information about himself before his eyes.

"Jack Enigma"

"4.0 Soul Energy"

"Anomaly: Beginner; Low"

He laughs as he sees his information.

"In just one day, my soul energy volume doubled." "It seems like practice gives fast results."

He knows and can imagine that others are not going to increase their soul energy volume like himself.

The reason for his rapid increase is not because of how smart he is or anything else.

It is because he is an anomaly, and anomalies are, as the name suggests, different from others.

Right now, according to the book introduction, he should be able to start using soul energy.

He takes a deep breath and looks at the table. On the table, there is a wooden knife that comes with breakfast. He closes his eyes, focuses, and starts to remember the words and information in the book.

"The control of soul energy depends on stages and imagination."

"Imagination filled with stages is the way to control soul energy."

"According to the book, I need to do two things."

"Wrap the object with my soul energy and control it with my imagination."

He thought.

He concentrates on the wooden knife, and the wooden knife starts to vibrate, and then Jack, with a clear and calm face, points at the wood wall with his finger.

"Fiivs"

The wooden knife shoots at the wooden wall, piercing it slightly before falling to the ground.

He takes a deep breath, and then this time, by just willing the wooden knife to fly, it levitates and starts circling in the air, up and down, left and right.

The wooden knife is controlled by him.

He could not help but smirk.

The wooden knife then starts to crumble piece by piece, and in five seconds, it turns into pieces of wood on the ground.

He then begins to experience pain in his head and body.

He feels weirdly weak and not competent enough. "Oh, my confidence is hanging on a thread." He smiles at his thoughts.

Controlling the knife is a simple thing, but the later technique I used to destroy the knife must have spent too much energy; my reserves and mastery of soul control are not nearly enough to do it without harming myself.

"This is just a wooden knife that I destroyed only using my soul power, and I felt too much pain in my body and head, especially."

"What if I wanted to do the same technique on a complex and powerful creature like a human?"

Just the thought of it made him feel powerless.

"But this is enough for the time being."

"More practice and more acclimation will give me more power."

"What I did should be in the category of a controller."

He then remembered something.

"Let's try a different thing."
