Atesh Sostid joined the community of elves. The blessing of Gaia gave him a lifespan of 10,000 years. He was only 18 years old.
"I have a lot of time." Atesh was worried about his future path.
"This world is a bit dangerous. I nearly capsized from some rather weak supernatural creatures. I need to somehow build strength." Atesh frowned.
Atesh was shown to his new home on Gaia by the elf that had given him the blood for his ritual. Atesh had asked how much he knew about the multiverse. But the elf didn't know much. He just reminded him about his promise.
Atesh spent all his time in tune with nature. The elves blessed by Gaia could live off just sunlight and water. They were deeply connected with nature.
Atesh enjoyed this feeling of peace. He had to think of a way to acquire power. Because without a way to protect himself. He would be at the mercy of others.
"Path of Somnus: God's Death."
"System Genesis." Atesh smiled. This was likely the key to explosive growth. The technique was originally developed to help the user explore multiple universes. It was planned to have the user generate a golden finger.
Atesh looked deep into his sea of consciousness. Hidden below his consciousness. There was a lattice. This was a layered visualization technique. There were over 300 layers at the moment.
[ECHO]: Technique has collapsed...
From what Atesh had read and based on the memorized text of the technique. The 'cheat' generated would be based on personality and feats of the host.
"I have to behave a certain way and cultivate a sense of purpose."
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
60,000 hours of contemplating existence began. Atesh spent his days observing nature and the weird ecosystem of this island.
7 years later...
"I should be 25."
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Perform System Genesis? Y/N?
His visualization technique had been completed! This was the first time he would REALLY be using system genesis.
[ECHO]: Evaluating actions...
[ECHO]: Supernatural power detected!
[ECHO]: Energy Particles...
[ECHO]: Searching memories...
[ECHO]: Creating golden finger...
[ECHO]: System Genesis successful!
[ECHO]: Sovereign Comprehension!
[ECHO]: Passive skill 'sovereign mind'
[ECHO]: The ability and foundation to understand the mind.
Atesh felt a switch in his mind. It was as if the world became more vivid. He could see the ants on a tree a kilometer away. He could hear every conversation of every person surrounding him. But that was about the extent of this 'cheat'.
[ECHO]: Passive skill is locked at 1%
[ECHO]: You lack sufficient mental energy to use this skill.
Atesh felt this ability vanish. His senses became more dull. He however felt relief from the overflow of information.
"Let's examine what the problem here is..."
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 1%
"I see. 60,000 hours is just enough for a unit of mental energy. I will need to gradually adjust and unlock the full extent of this ability."
Now that Atesh had done a full rotation. He restarted the animation.
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
7 years later...
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 2%
Atesh once again briefly entered this weird state. This time things were different. He could not only see a single strand of grass from a kilometer away. It was more then that. He wasn't simply hearing every sound from every location on the island. He heard more. He looked at his own hands. He could see the cells. He could see his muscular system and skeleton. He could see the flow of blood.
But just like before. This was short lived.
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
7 years later, at the age of 39. Atesh was attending the celebration of the birth of a new elf. This was quite a rare occasion. Elves manifested from the will of nature. Gaia was their ancestor.
As he was talking with one of his friends. He noticed he entered that hyper aware state again. He quickly closed his eyes to shut out most of the sensory information.
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 3%
But this didn't work. From the sound vibrations caused from the other elves talking. A perfect map was created. It was as if he didn't close his eyes at all. He could see the white blood cells flowing through his eyes. He could then see through his eyelids.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
He was overwhelmed with information.
"I must master this state. Every single increase in comprehension has made it more powerful. My brain won't be able to handle this going forward." Atesh excused himself and quickly fled to his house. This time the feeling didn't vanish as quickly as it had came.
He staggered towards his home in a confused state.
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
His senses returned to normal. But he could feel a model in his sea of consciousness. By focusing on this model. His senses would enter this heightened state! But it was only for a few seconds.
7 years later...
"I'm 46." Atesh had been observing his progress on this rotation. He knew he was about to gain more comprehension. So he left the island. He didn't go far. He just submerged himself in water to dull his senses.
"This time I'm ready!"
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 4%
Despite being in the water. He felt he had made a mistake. His senses were bombarded with aquatic life. It was almost as bad as being out of it! No. This was because the intensity had been raised. He almost felt as if he was looking at himself outside his body.
It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head. It was almost as if he was using spiritual sense. But he wasn't!
Soon... his senses became dull and he swam up to the surface.
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
"It is becoming more intense..." Atesh frowned.
Another 7 years...
Atesh was 53 years old. But his appearance hadn't changed at all.
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 5%
Atesh felt the model in his sea of consciousness become more complex. But this time he felt his senses had slowly adjusted. He could turn it on or off. He had gained the basic ability to control it.
The next seven years. He had planned to spend manipulating this 'model'.
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
7 years later...
At the age of 60.
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 6%
He had begun to develop the all around improvement to his senses into different functions. For example, he could focus his hearing or his sight individually. He was currently working on being able to control his nervous system completely through willpower. Things like pain and discomfort, he hadn't yet gained control of.
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
28 years later...
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind: 10%
At 88 years old. He had gained control over even his sense of pain. He could completely turn off his senses. He could also directly observe his surroundings as if he was a phantom. But he did this without even using beacons or a spiritual body to maneuver outside.
630 years later...
Something amazing happened.
He was only 718 years old.
[ECHO]: Passive skill is locked at 100%
[ECHO]: Transforming...
[ECHO]: Sovereign Comprehension partially unlocked.
Atesh felt a burst of information in his mind. But he had cultivated his willpower over these centuries. He was no longer the simple minded mortal with tricks due to his technique. He was a long lived species!
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind fully operational.
[ECHO]: Passive skill 'sovereign soul'
[ECHO]: The ability and foundation to understand the soul.
"What?" Atesh was surprised. But he wasn't too shocked.
"Unlocking 100% of a system genesis passive. It'll give me a new ability? I suppose sovereign soul is a part of Sovereign Comprehension."
[ECHO]: Stage 1 - 0%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Soul: 0%
"Here we go again..."
700 years later...
Atesh had stopped keeping track of his age at this point. He was over a thousand years old. It wasn't like he celebrated his birthday or anything.
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Soul: 100%
[ECHO]: Active skill is locked at 100%
[ECHO]: Transforming...
[ECHO]: Sovereign Comprehension partially unlocked.
[ECHO]: Sovereign Soul fully operational.
[ECHO]: Passive skill 'sovereign will'
[ECHO]: The ability and foundation to understand the will...
Just like with sovereign mind. Atesh had acquired some unique abilities from mastering soul. He could overpower other peoples souls. He could search them, he could manipulate his own soul. He had spent years studying this ability.
The application and flexibility was insane.
But he was confused about the next skill. He would need to spend centuries developing it. But it started with a single rotation.
7 years later...
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Will: 1%
"I see!" Atesh found out what this skill did. It was potentially more powerful then his mind or soul ability! He could directly use his will to affect reality. It was weak at the current stage. He could barely lift a leaf using his will.
"The growth over a few centuries should make this a rather powerful skill."
693 years later...
[ECHO]: Stage 2500 - 100%
[ECHO]: Sovereign Will: 100%
[ECHO]: Passive skill is locked at 100%
[ECHO]: Transforming...
[ECHO]: Sovereign Comprehension fully unlocked.
[ECHO]: Sovereign Will fully operational.
[ECHO]: All sub-skills of Sovereign Comprehension unlocked!
[ECHO]: Sovereign Mind
[ECHO]: Sovereign Soul
[ECHO]: Sovereign Will
At this point. Atesh could use his 'will' to even lift himself. He could ignore gravity and fly! He thought there was a lot of potential for his 'will'.
"Echo. How old am I now?"
[ECHO]: Calculating based on vitality...
[ECHO]: 2118 years old!
"I've gone through a fifth of my lifespan, huh?" Atesh smiled.
"I suppose I've grown up enough. This island is unchanging despite all these years. If I am to become a supreme being in the future. These peaceful and blissful days must come to an end!"
Atesh told his friends that he would be leaving the island.
"Be careful out there. Elves are sometimes discriminated against. Don't become a slave!" One of his friends told him.
"Don't worry... I'm strong!"
Atesh took to the skies. It was time to explore this supernatural world! If he stayed on this island for a few thousand more years... he would eventually die from old age...
He directly flew in a direction he felt souls gathering.
A sonic boom was left as he traveled. His body was protected by his will. His soul was used to navigate. His senses kept an eye out for danger.
He was enjoying himself.
"All those years in seclusion. This is freedom!"
