"Godmother what is this" inquired Aetheris as he held a tangible holographic scripture
< Rank: Primordial Type: Can Evolve with the user A one of a kind breathing Art that specializes in nothing but absorbing Energy from the environment, although it gives no skills it is perfect for someone like you >> "It's a gift, now do what mother suggested I'll leave you be" chuckled Triny as she left Aetheris in the white cubic room "How odd, this breathing seems perfect for me… it's as if someone had given it to mother…is it perhaps Sebastian…no, he couldn't have followed me without my permission… I am just being paranoid, old habits die hard" Triny gave him a breathing Art so that he can fully awaken his core and choose a pathway, but the details of the Art are oddly suitable for him, thus raising his suspicions "Hahhh, it is what it is "muttered Aetheris as he sat down while taking a meditative pose Seconds passed as he began to breathe, the instructions were simple enough for him to understand Aetheris fell into a trance as each second passed, as he slowly opened his eyes, many small particles were around him to be precise, they filled the entire room. The small particles entered the center of his chest slowly as he concentrated "Hmmmmmmm… Nothing is happening I just feel the regular flow of Energy as usual" sighed Aetheris as he continued to absorb the small Mana particles: < "What do you mean by true sta.. ohh I see" Small horns protruded from his head as he regained his true state, his eyes shimmered as they glowed golden neon *Crack Crack Crack* "Mmmmm, that feels better, I doubt that I want to suppress myself again "muttered Aetheris as he cracked his neck and closed his eyes The power was better than when he suppressed his horn, Dark Golden Energy oozed from his body as he meditated Small particles of Mana entered his Origin core as he meditated, his body began to levitate as his hair began to defy gravity.

"URGHH…FUCK…rawr" grunted Aetheris as he felt an odd sensation all over his body A sensation that felt like Countless needles were stabbing his body simultaneously and constantly, many times A small tornado of Mana particles swirling at the center of his flat chest as gusts of wind were created, if this room was a normal area…the Mana in that area would have been sucked completely *Badump Badump Badump Badump* "GRAAHHHH!!!..rawrr..rooooaaaar" grunted Aetheris The Mana did not just enter his Origin core; in order to awaken, the Mana needs to have &@#@dragonic properties. Remiel suppresses it to true dragonic properties. For the awakening, suppression is no longer needed, but in the process, Aetheris might… no, he will explode into countless pieces… But.. < … Commencing… Circuit pathway creating…Error… Error… Error… Accessing the records for….

However, these tears were not just mere tears but an eye-opener that allowed him to understand the visions that invaded his mind and… What he truly experienced was. Red, blood, torment, red, blood, ruin, red, blood, despair, red, blood, agony, red, blood, affliction, red, blood, decay, red, blood, anguish, red, blood, oblivion, red, blood, suffering, red, blood, corruption, red, blood, misery, red, blood, annihilation, red, blood, sorrow, red, blood, collapse, red, blood, grief, red, blood, desolation, red, blood, dread, red, blood, void, red, blood, despair, red, blood, extinction, red, blood, silence, and the darkness consumed all, unending and absolute.... the cycle continued endlessly Each hand gave him countless Visions that induced uncontrollable madness, he was feeling grief and regret because… Each death was the one he caused. "Why did you kill us" "I had a wife and children who depended on me, and you took me away from them" "I didn't even erase my hard drive " Countless voices and visions of the people he killed kept on taunting him, each voice took a chip of his sanity while he felt regret and despair… Things he always suppressed. "You burnt me alive" "You pushed me off a building" "You spared no one, not even my children and my dog" The voices kept increasing as time went on, each voice drove him deeper into madness "I…had to do it, I had no choice in the matter… she forced me to do it" replied Aetheris as he gritted his teeth, he felt profound culpability that was unending. "LIAR LIAR LIAR !!!! SHE WAS LONG DEAD BEFORE YOUR CRIMES " " YOU DESERVE TO SUFFER ETERNITY IN UNENDING SOLITUDE" "WHY DID YOU KEEP KILLING DESPITE BEING FREE FROM YOUR SHACKLES OF SLAVERY" "I…i…i." despite trying to reply, nothing came to his mind, but the voices kept on driving him towards insanity. " ENOUGH!!!" The Visions and Voices began to disappear as he regained his sanity, the rising emotions of regret, sorrow, and remorse began to stabilize "I will not be bound by the chains of mediocrity, Nor silenced by the whispers of doubt. Today, I rise from the ashes of fear, Tomorrow, I shall soar on the wings of courage. I will traverse the valleys of challenge, And climb the mountains of adversity. I will find the sword of my inner strength, And vanquish the dragons of weakness. I will defy the limits of the ordinary, And shatter the boundaries of the impossible. I will laugh at the face of fear, And triumph over the forces of despair." < Only those who can withstand and accept madness can wander the ABYSS… Initiating pathway… Error… Accessing the invitation to the ABYSS… The door to the ABYSS has been opened… Rewards will be received after forming a pathway>> The hands pulled him to the ground as they accepted him and welcomed him into the Formless Absolute Eternal Void.
