As he finished reading his notification, Priam reflected that his pain had disappeared. Or rather, that it had lessened. His mories had returned - at least partially. My na is... Priam. Yeah, that's my na now.
Priam activated [Aether Perception] to check his condition. Instantly, a wave of relief washed over him. In order to improve his mind, the System had regenerated part of his spirit. At least enough to give him a chance to create his Domain. Priam watched his spirit body for a second, calculating its fading speed. About two minutes. Maybe more once I've deactivated [Aether Perception].
Which he did before consulting his Trees of rits. He intended to take every advantage he could.
Trees of rit
Each new Title opens a new Tree of rit and allows you to upgrade a Tree of rit once.
Upgrading a Tree of rit to Tier 9 uses 10 Titles and thus condemns 9 other Trees. Be careful which trees you upgrade...
[Tenacious Spirit - Silver] - Tier 3: Your spirit begins to break free from your bodily limitations. It can now travel for a few monts outside your body.
ACQUIRED.
[Tenacious Spirit - Silver] - Tier 4: Locked. Requires a Gold Title.
6 Unused rit Points.
Satisfied, Priam felt his mind stabilize further. If he understood the rit correctly, his Title now allowed him to leave his body. The possibilities were nurous: he could spy on his surroundings, detach himself from his body to increase his concentration or rena himself Casper. From now on, Priam would no longer need to find a wyvern to vaporize his body before setting off on a spiritual journey. Baby steps...
Without wasting any ti, Priam tried again to perceive his mist. It seed even closer to him than before. The increase in willpower enabled him to better manipulate [Moon Mist].
After a few monts, Priam stopped his experints. Sighing ntally, he faced reality: his ntal state was still agitated. He had just co close to death, and the ordeal had been shocking. [He Who Eludes Death] had not yet been triggered to heal his mind.
The best cure for this kind of emotion was ti. A resource Priam didn't have. I'll ditate on my feelings later. For now, I might as well postpone the problem. Priam knew not listening to himself could be dangerous, but the situation left him no choice.
[Emotional Discipline]. Priam took ten seconds to observe his emotions calmly. He felt his fear, anger, rage, and then his relief. He had won - at least temporarily. Slowly, his harmful emotions began to dissipate, giving way to his excitent. He couldn't wait to test his new limits. His willpower crushed all negative emotions, and Priam's mind threw itself back into work.
All around him, the cloud of Damocles had closed in. Priam deployed [Moon Mist] again, using his Title and rits to reconnect fully with his mist. Hesitating for a mont, he also activated his Potential. It wasn't the ti to cut corners.
The mist welcod him back. A feeling of fulfillnt erged in Priam. His different assets were synergizing, strengthening the connection between him and the mist. Despite Damocles' hostility, the cloud seed almost a friend. It confided in Priam, revealing its secrets and those of the steam.
A notification arrived, but Priam ignored it. The only impulse left in him was to rge with the mist. Create a Domain and ascend. Since the Tutorial, most of his evolutions had been quantitative. Now, at this very mont, a qualitative change was within his grasp. A transformation.
A tamorphosis.
[Focus]. [ditation]. Both skills, boosted by the treasures he had previously swallowed, increased his concentration to an all-ti high.
With each passing mont, the world took on new colors, hitherto invisible to his eyes. The mist beca more familiar. His new sensitivity even allowed Priam to see beyond the do's barrier. Until now, it had always been denied him. To communicate, he'd needed a way through the mist. That was no longer the case - sothing had changed.
The wyvern attacked again. Indeed enraged, it delivered a second blast to the city below. Priam's emotions remained unaffected by the destruction caused. Right now, all that mattered was the mist. A mist that whispered even in the heart of the attack, where the blast had pushed back the air.
A mist that existed even when there was nothing left. A mist that occupied the void.
Priam's mind trembled as a realization crystallized: the Mist was everywhere. More than just water in different states, the Mist was a concept.
A final barrier gave way in the face of this understanding. A special, intimate bond opened up between Priam and the mist concept. From this bond, an epiphany erged. Priam began formulating thoughts, ideas that the mist was breathing into him.
Mist is an expression of aether at a given mont. If a higher being saw the world as it really was - an ocean of aether, the fundantal particle at the origin of everything - then this ocean could take on an infinite number of forms. A cloud, a tower, a single living being, a universe and... a mist.
Everyone's way of seeing the world was different. Perceptions, shortcomings, and brain wiring altered how the world looked. To each their colors and tastes. The color red was not perceived in the sa way by two different humans - without even ntioning color blindness. Similarly, an ant couldn't distinguish a lake from an ocean. The worldview was a matter of perspective.
Sotis, the truth was absolute: early n thought the earth was flat and were wrong.
Sotis the truth was multiple and in everyone's heart.
Priam's heart opened to the world and to the mist. More than just the water molecules of the atmosphere, it opened up to the mist of aether. An infinite fog in every sense of the word. A Mist that shaped Universes and Worlds. A haze that created lives, dreams and concepts. A destructive Mist, symbol of entropy.
For an instant, in a subli epiphany, Priam saw a tiny fraction of this mist.
A simple soul drifting on a misty current, Priam enjoyed the vision for a mont, transforming his mind and soul in the process. Every aether particle, all interconnected, was transforming the world. The software and hardware of all existence beca one. For the first ti, a human was contemplating the Truth. Priam's soul smiled, evolving under the impulse of the Mist.
The next mont, as if reluctantly and for safety's sake, his soul disconnected. His will was too weak. A re human was not ant to gaze into infinity. One day... Priam's heart raced at the thought.
If his deep connection with the Truth of the Mist had been broken, Priam felt that this vision had changed things. Feeling the mist and the Moon again, he smiled as he sensed the changes that had taken place within him. Firstly, he could now feel his soul. He no longer had to slip into [Mirror of the Soul] to see its reflection. His soul, the pure aether sphere at the heart of his mind, was weak. Small. Fragile.
That would change.
In the heart of this sphere, a stream trembled. Its Domain was waiting. Instinctively, Priam knew there was only one thing left to do.
Turning outwards, he perceived Damocles' cloud, the do barrier and the furious wyvern. Smiling, his Will connected to the stream of mist cradled by his soul. The fruit of his deep connection to the world. A tool capable of manipulating aether. Able to dominate the world. A future Supremacy.
Priam grabbed the misty current and pulled it out of his soul. With a ntal command, the misty volute gravitated around his soul. Priam shaped the mist to resemble a cloud. It enveloped his soul, protecting it and hiding it from the world. Tiny aether runes appeared in the mist before disappearing.
Connecting himself once again to the surrounding mist, Priam tried to use his new Supremacy.
His Perception encompassed part of the Damocles cloud. Priam gathered his will and pulled to him.
The Tribulations cloud trembled.
