Figuring out how to move wasn't that hard with sanity on the line. I can actually move extremely slowly in one direction when concentrating on the concept of motion in that direction. It didn't make sense but who I'm to judge this place?
After a few failures I finally reach a ripple and for a moment I thought it was a failure. My surroundings was the still dark but the ever-present remnants disappeared except one, my own remnant body felt somehow less exposed, more complete. I suddenly recalled the almost alien memories, the feeling of my flesh, cold, being able to feel my heart.
Feeling relieved I instantly fall asleep.
Waking up I realised what just happened, sleep after months of floating in the darkness of remnants.
Although being able to sleep was excellent but I was still in a dark place.
As saying goes from a hard place to a rock. Despite the fact that it was dark and slightly cold and I can't even move, this place was very comfortable.
With insanity out of the window for now I finally have time to relax, the past few months wasn't as calming you might expect. Floating in a strange dark place without a body or sleep is a recipe for quality madness and don't forget the scarred orbs of supper complexity. Still being slightly depressed at dying and world travelling I tryied to bring up the system windows.

Being slightly surprised being responded I tried again filling in my name but nothing happened, concentrating on my one of my three attributes, mind . Instead of some vague sense, I seen a small pach of dirt with a sapling on it, covereing little more than each half was a little fire that looked like it was made of the night sky. The dirt represented the depth of my mind and wisdom, the sapling stand for my intelligence and the knowledge I'm capable of using, finally the fire symbolized my ambitions, emotions, will, and influence over myself and others.
Next I chose origin, feeling my perception shift again, I found myself as now my familiar remnant form suspended in an empty white space with uncountable amount of constantly shifting transparent strings. At my center a seemingly weak white fire burned with a little abyssal black in its center, gaining a sudden understanding that the flame represented my very existence and its strengths and my origin ability to last. At the edges of this white fire was another flame that constantly changed in density, size, brightness, colors, symbolized my origin flexibility and my luck. Understanding that there should be another from my previous experience, I observed the ever present ever changing strings but no information or understanding come. Changing my approach I began to analyse my origin and its flames, after what seemed weeks and moments at the same time in this mysterious place I found almost invisible strings around my flames, the strings looked broken, melted, faded, around myself. They represented my influence on everything and my vise versa, they also represented my origins structure and initiate ability to heal itself.

The broken strings most likely represents my Unbound Trait, meaning I don't have the connection but others don't have a connection to me either through the lines, whatever that meant.
The body stats didn't bringed me to any mysterious space or given me anything except a very generic description what they meant. By generic I meant thousands meanings what strengths means, in short it represents my body ability to endure damage, its material strength, my general ability how much stamina I have, and of course how hard I can puch or how much weight I can bear.
Agility symbolized my body flexibility, reaction time, malleability, explosive power, and physical senses.
Constitution symbolized my whole body structure and it's general ability to sustain damage without breaking down and its ability to repair itself.
Although all three of them was somewhat responsible for everything but they obviously did better in their own things.
Did I go crazy to personifie my body certain aspects? I really should take a look at mental health skills.
Still having nightmares about The remnant sea and it's scarred orbs was still better than not being able to sleep at all but I need help. Are there any psychologist skill?
Opening the now only store, the restricted Trait shop triangle disappeared and now only the skil shop was shown.
Maybe I need trait points to get it back?
Feeling nostalgic at how similar was this to online shopping I spent hours browsing for skills without noticing.
I realised that most skills that were offered was something that I'm already capable of, be it meditation or mathematics, having nothing better do I bought Introspection and Meditation.
Until I meditated again nothing happened but oce I began everything seemed easier, calming my mind, visualising, feeling my new body.
I was some type of fetus with four limbs and a head but other than that I cannot fell more. Trying to feel my origin feelt much harder but with the prior abysa experiences I finally found myself in my head. With each hour of meditation I feelt it easier to maintain this state of mind. The only reason I could reach this point was the skill seemed to help remember with anything related to meditation, be it psychology or even seemingly unrelated memory's from my childhood. The skill didn't give knowledge how should I meditate but rather helped me with collecting my thoughts on it. It seemed the skill is exactly what it is, my own skill and understanding. The introspection skill worked in a similar manner but it was slightly different, while meditation worked in tandem with it and fullfiled very similar roles, the former given me vague feelings of currents in my head and in my body, at first I thought it was my blood it moved sometimes too slowly or too fast to be my blood since my own heart was beating at a constant rate.
After a day off meditation I got my more proficient in my skills, it wasn't anything insane but it was noticeable to even me.
