Liz was frozen, her blue eyes wide open as she stared at nothing. Her body wasn't moving at all, she was completely focused on her soul. The essence of her being, an ethereal orb that existed inside her heart, but also out of this plane.
Notice: Eternal will (Passive) effectiveness has been increased.
Notice: Skill: Soul awareness (passive) has been acquired.
Notice: You have levelled up to level 4
She didn’t hear those words, right now they meant nothing to her. Everything in this world apart from her soul had vanished.
She could see inside of it, witness the essence of her being, of someone who had crossed the border between worlds. She saw a seemingly endless pool of mana but she knew it wasn't even half full.
Notice: several functions of Advanced mana affinity have been unlocked.
She felt those words distant, as if her ears were in the bottom of the ocean. Yet they felt so close, as if they were said directly in her ear.
She inspected the walls of the pool, rising higher and higher in this endless void. Carved with magic patterns, connecting each part of her soul, of her being.
There was a hole in the walls. Then it grew, larger and larger, it was a cave now, a cave in which she slowly entered. She saw her skills inside the cave. She saw Advanced mana manipulation and Advanced mana system shining bright as a lighthouse, too bright for her to distinguish their shape. She saw a little orb of light, its glow paled in comparison with the other 2.
Finally she saw a massive sphere, bigger than any of her other skills. But this one didn't shine. It was chained thousands of times, only a slight part of its surface could be seen. The chains sprouted from the floor and the ceiling from the left and right wall, but all of them were borned from further down the cave.
Liz stepped forward, wandering farther inside the cave, but when she tried to wander beyond the sphere, a hand grabbed her shoulder.
“You shouldn’t go further in” Said a woman behind her.
Liz’s eyes opened wide as she realised who was talking to. “Rouge!?” She turned around, trying to see the red haired woman.
“I’m sorry, I’m not the real one.” A faceless woman said. Her body was like a manikin, almost as if it was done only with the slight reference of her body.
“Why can I go further?” Liz asked.
“Cause I won't be able to protect you from it” As Rouge said that words Liz was pulled out of the cave, she saw how it closed behind her, preventing her from going back inside.
Notice: Soul awareness (passive) has levelled up.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Notice: Eternal will (Passive) is exhausted.
Liz was surprised, how can a skill have stamina. She thought.
She finally became aware of the rest of the notifications. Surprised by having levelled up just because of her revelation. Status.

Notice:...
Liz collapsed on the floor, her head hurted a lot. Her nose and eyes were bleeding. However, her heart felt as if a rope that choked it suddenly loosed up.
“Liz!” Kancor screamed as she passed out. “Fuck, her brain overloaded”
Kancor placed Liz next to the wall of the cave and sat down next to her. He knew that becoming aware of your soul could cause some damage, but he never expected a spirit to get this amount of damage.
“If I remember correctly, Kala said that the bigger the epiphany the stronger the hit. But when she had hers she didn't bleed this much.” Kancor was scared for the first time since he arrived at the deadlands. Scared not only for the fate of his apprentice, but also of the uncertainty of her revelation.
What has she seen to be in this state? What kind of skill will she develop from this? How strong is she going to be? When he chose her as her apprentice he did so because she had potential, but this was something he never saw coming.
“She might even become as strong as us” He said, remembering his old friends, his powerful party feared all across the world. Then he remembered his corpsreps, how they all were overcome by only 1 man, if that could be called a man.
His status popped before him, he was sure he didn't summoned it, he knew it was there to torture him. He tried not to look at it, but his eyes moved on their own.
