Race found himself in a dark place wherever he looked all he could see was darkness.
"Where am I ?" Race thought to himself.
" The host is currently in the mind/conscience of the host, Here the system is able to explain on things for the host when the host reaches a higher level. This also serves as an observation point for the host to see what is going on in the Host's body. The Host can enter or exit this place at will. This is the amount of information the Host is currently able to access. The information module is shutting down."
Before Race was even able to ask any specific questions, he was kicked out of his conscience. Race though having experienced something like that he was rather excited to see what he was about to get. This system was something that he acquired due to his reincarnation. Something that was able quantify his growth. Something that held knowledge of things that humans never knew existed. It was definitely not of human origin.
Since it was able to measure his growth then it should also be able to guide him further. That is what Race was looking forward to. He was trying to gain access to a power that was previously unknown. A little bit of guidance can be the difference between gaining more strength or dieing.
Race called the status screen using his mind.
" System UI updated".
The blue holographic window that appeared before Race was different from the one that he had seen so far. There were much more information about him as well various new tabs with different purposes.

=================================
Race was quite happy to find that the next part of his training was in manipulating the primal magicules in his surroundings.But before going through that in detail Race decided to quickly go through all his newly acquired skills and abilities.
He used his mind to select each of the newly available tabs. First he checked what Normal and Acquired Skills were.
[ Normal skills]:- They are skills that a person acquire when they achieve a particular level.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
[ Acquired skills]:- They are skills a person acquire due to their own actions.
" That makes sense.[ Autonomous Mana Refining](A); [ Technokinesis](A); [ Circuit Mapping](A); [Apprentice Mechanic Level of Knowledge](A) are skills that are directly related to my profession or my recent activities. While the rest of the skills are things that I never expected to get."
" Now What do these skills do"
[ Energy Detection](N):-(Togglable) This skill allows the host detect the nearest source of energy as well as the strength of the source. By constant use the host can also filter unwanted energy sources. It can also be used to search for energy signatures. It is a Passive skill that can toggled on and off.
[ Aura Detection](N):-(Togglable) This skill allows the Host to sense the aura of other beings, providing an approximate value of their strength, their physical condition, e.t.c..
[ Autonomous Mana Refining](A):-(Passive) A skill awarded to Race Smyth for him using Primal Magicules to strengthen himself. This skill will continuously refine a fixed amount of mana. The mount may be increased when Race concentrates on Mana refining.
[ Technokinesis](A):-(Active) It is skill earned by race due to his particular profession. It allows Race to control all kinds of devices to a particular limit. The limit can be improved with constant use.
[ Circuit Mapping](A):-(Active) A skill brought into being because of Race's extensive study in this field. It allows Race to understand the circuit of ant device in his vicinity. The speed of the skill is related to the knowledge Race has acquired.
[Apprentice Mechanic Level of Knowledge](A):- This is just representation of Races current level as a mechanic.
=====================
Race sat stunned as he completely read through the uses of his new skills. The two Acquired skills [Technokinesis](A), [ Circuit Mapping](A) are completely overpowered considering the current society is completely dependent on technology.
" I could see myself becoming invincible if I grow these skills to its limits. The [ Autonomous Mana Refining](A) will constantly provide me with a constant supply of Primal Magicules, It will lead to further strengthening of my body, as well as keeping the amount of magicules topped up."
Race decided to check on his new leveling condition.
" Magicule Manipulation. It simply means learning the ability to control the Primal Magicules. But the simple question is How?" Race was stumped since he was not given any clue on how he could influence the Primal Magicules. He could control them when they were in his body, That to was in a very limited range.
So Race decide to use his new skills. He activated [ Energy Detection] to see what happens. All of a suddens he was able to see a very bright light from presumably the center of the ship. There were also a large amount of flickering lights of concentrated on the walls of the ship as well as in area that seemed to be a storage unit on the ship.
" The large light should be the generator of the ship, while the smaller ones should be the various armaments of the ship." Race then tried reducing the range of detection. He was successful. Since the range was reduced the skill was able to pick up even small energy sources like batteries on his communicator or other little devices.
Race then decided to try Technokinesis instead of aura detection since there was no one near him. " Lets see what it does to the lights in the room". Race used technokinesis on the lights, He was able to feel that he could turn it on or off at will. Race then tried it on his communicator something more advanced than the lights.
Technokinesis was able to easily access all the functions available to the user all the other more intricate settings were not available to Race." Wait, if this all what technokinesis is capable of then there is not much use other than helping me in using my gadgets more easily. I was hoping I could hack stuff." Race was tad bit disappointed.
Then Race proceeded to use circuit mapping. Instead of trying it on the ship Race used it on his communicator, The entire circuitry of the device slowly became transparent to Race. " This is more focused on helping me access the inner working of a device. What if I use Technokinesis along with circuit mapping."
Race did just that. This time however he was able to change the inner workings of the communicator. With the help of Circuit Mapping, Race was given access to the core functions and process of the communicator. He could essentially change how the entire device functioned.
Race was ecstatic at this new discovery." This awesome. I can be someone who the present society dare not to cross. Now how can I manipulate Magicules. This is something that I must find to a way to do." Race put his all in finding out in what way he could manipulate the Primal Magicules.
"Wait a second, Technokinesis seems to be using magicules to interact with the devices. If I am able to understand and copy how it happen then I can also use Magicules for other purposes as well."
Race then entered his conscience while he was using the technokinesis. He was then able to see the changes that allowed him to interact with the Magicules.
