Ethan shrugs. "It's not something that has ever been documented, but who knows? With enough understanding and control over Arcana, anything is possible. However, it's important to remember that power can corrupt and lead to destructive consequences if not wielded responsibly."
Ethan leans forward "That's why the Elder Arcana Council exists. The council consists of a group of ancient Arcanists, each possessing an unfathomable amount of power. They have the authority to create and enforce rules governing the use of magic, and their decisions are final. Only the King or powerful Arcanists can ignore their rules"
"Well, that is all I'd like to know for now" l look outside the window and notice dawn is coming "What time is it ?"
Ethan's gaze shifted down to his wrist, where he tapped a seemingly empty spot. Suddenly, a wrist guard materialized, displaying the current time in bold numbers.
"Looks like it's 4:00 AM," he muttered to himself, his eyes scanning the display. "And breakfast will be served at 7 in the main dining hall."
With a deep sigh, Ethan shook his head and turned to face me. "I better get going. It's a long walk to the dining hall, and I need to get ready before we meet the rest of the family."
Ethan's smile was small but reassuring as he turned on his heel, his steps purposeful. "I can sense that you've gained control of an ability," he said. "I don't know how, but use this time to get used to it."
With that, he strode out of the room, leaving me alone to contemplate his words. I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and trepidation at the fact that he saw right through me
"Host, my analysis indicates that the entity in question displays a genuine concern for you. I concur with their recommendation that to utilize your newfound ability more effectively, you must first improve your proficiency. I advise purchasing skills from the system shop."

I stared at the available skills and weighed my options. The Infinite Sword Technique and Reaper Knife Technique were tempting, but I knew it was beyond my current financial status. Melee Combat Skill, on the other hand, seemed doable.
"System I notice that I don't have any Arcana Energy to purchase any skills at the moment so I've decided to get the Meditation Skill first. It's free, and it might help me understand how to use my abilities better."
The System responded with a neutral tone, "Acknowledged, Host. The Meditation Skill has been added to your skill stab."
I nod and close my eyes focusing on the meditation skill on my status page, I felt a subtle shift in the air around me. It was as if the world slowed down, and I could feel the pulse of life all around me.
With each inhale, I drew in the energy of the world, and with each exhale, I felt my energy flow outwards. It was a strange sensation, but one that I found incredibly calming.
As I continued to meditate, I felt my body start to tingle, and a warm sensation spread throughout my limbs. It was as if Arcana Energy was coursing through me, filling me with vitality and strength.
Finally, I opened my eyes and took a deep breath, feeling more relaxed and centered than I had in ages.
I nodded again, satisfied with my new skill. I decided to check my status window again to see if anything had changed.

"System, I've made a decision. I want to purchase the Melee Combat Skill from the system shop," I said with determination in my voice.
"Very well, host. The transaction has been completed, and the skill has been added to your tab," the system replied.
Suddenly, a rush of energy flowed through my body as if I had just unlocked a hidden power. My senses sharpened, and my reflexes improved. I could feel my muscles twitching with anticipation.
It was as if I had been transported to a different realm, one where the art of combat was a dance, and my body was the instrument. Every movement was fluid, every step was precise, and every strike was deadly.
I opened my eyes, feeling rejuvenated and more confident in my ability to face the next challenge. I was ready to complete my mission.
As I approached the door to the bathroom, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I focused my mind on my breathing and cleared my thoughts. I could feel the energy within me pulsing and vibrating with each breath I took.
I opened my eyes and pushed the door open, ready to face whatever awaited me.
I couldn't help but grin as I flexed my fingers and got a feel for the newfound strength and dexterity in my hands. Without further delay, I made my way to the bathroom to take a shower and prepare for meeting my new family.
As I stepped into the shower, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Remembering the Meditation Skill I had acquired earlier, I focused on the pulse of Arcana Energy that flowed through my body. I let myself sink into a state of relaxation, letting go of all thoughts and worries.
At that moment, I felt as if I was floating, weightless and free. I could feel the energy coursing through my veins, almost as if it was alive and moving with a life of its own. I opened my eyes and saw the steam from the shower swirling around me, seemingly alive and dancing to the rhythm of the energy that flowed within me.
I couldn't help but feel invigorated and alive as if I had tapped into something primal and powerful. With a deep sense of satisfaction, I finished my shower and prepared to meet my new family. But even as I walked out of the bathroom, I knew that this was only the beginning of my journey. There was still so much to discover and so many skills to master. And with the power of Arcana Energy at my fingertips, there was nothing I couldn't achieve.
