Chapter 4 - Watch out prey, I'm getting stronger!

Calmly I opened my eye's. You could sense great sageness within. Absolutely, I spoke "Status!"

[Insufficient authorization]

Instantly I was rejected. As a small message with a blue background screen popped up. Like a stone wall, it firmly denied me from continuing. Though it looked more like a error message to be honest.

(hmm kind of veered away from the point there.)

Anyway, I was not feeling discouraged. Even though I didn't get to view my status. As I ended up getting a response. Instead of being completely ignored, and left to believe I was crazy. Which would be a serious blow to my ego.

Continuing, I instead shouted with determined intent. "Stat page!"

Immediately a blue screen, larger than before appeared. Scanning the screen like a page, I saw.

Hmmm, interesting. I thought, as I narrowed my eyes.

* From my recent enlightenment. I can confirm that you distribute. Un-assigned energy through here. But how exactly?*

Looking at the plus(+) signs. Distant. yet absolute knowledge, flowed into my mind. * If I recall correctly these plus signs. Should be hinting that I can add value...*

Clicking on strength, I saw the digit change. And it was like a string of energy flowed through my "veins" if I have veins., and into my muscels. Causing them to lose wariness and be more energetic. Though if I were to be more specific. It's like, If I had the impression that I could feel a semi-tight white-T trying to contain my might before. Whenever I was flexing before.

Now It would felt like the white-T was trying to restrain me. Instead of just containing me. which was a noticeable difference. But not "too" impactful.

Anyway, seeing the result. I decided to think about what I really needed/wanted right now. To reach my end goals. Which was honestly just existing at this point. I have to make sure that the void doesn't suddenly devour me. Or at least that I would have some type of defense against it.

Thinking hard, I decided that I would first need a solid form of detection. As of right now, I could only sense things within a small radius that my "aura"? reached.

Hmmmm, looking back at my Stat Page. I noticed that something seemed... Strange, about the stat's displayed. Yet I couldn't put my finger on it. Probably because this is just a {Stat page}. And not {Status}, but who knows. Maybe it's nothing (#foreshadowing?).

Anyway, looking through my options. It would seem that the only thing that would correlate. With my senses right now, is "Soul". But feeling the effects of a single stat point there may be tricky.

Mainly because I'm surrounded by void. I mean, how am I supposed to notice the effect. When my senses are getting suppressed in this giant realm of void?

Thinking about this problem, I was tempted to do something really rash. *What if I just... add a bunch of stat points into Soul. So that the effect is more apparent?* Maybe I was making a sh*itty decision but hey. It's not like a had an intelligence stat.

Still, I feel like adding stat points into Soul. One by one, would be ineffective. Mainly because from what I recall. Distributing additional stat points, into a specific stat. Had an instant result.

So wouldn't adding multiple stat points like that. Just be adding single stat points within quick succession. Therefore leading to the feeling of just slowly increasing? Well duh, didn't I already know that would happen?

*Still that wouldn't be what I want. Let me re-read it, and see if I can gain any insights.* Looking back towards the single blue screen in front of me. I realized that the error message before. Which denied me from using {Status}. disappeared on it's own. "Well, that's convenient. But I wonder when it disappeared exactly?" Even after thinking for a while, I still couldn't come up with an answer. So I just pondered my options. searching for sudden inspiration.

In the quiet void, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. Not the feeling one would have when they missed affection. But one similar to boredom. It's sad having nobody to destroy. Or nobody to help destroy. But I will find a solution soon. So I moved my aimless eyes back towards the {Stat page}. Which surprisingly never disappeared.

Focusing towards the bottom of the {Stat Page}. I stared at my Additional stat points. Or more specifically, the numbers behind it. Interesting, now what are these number here for?

It's as if they are page numbers? I clicked on the #10, since I figured if they really were page numbers. Then #1 wouldn't do anything.

I was greeted with a prompt showing me.

After reading it. I immediately clicked on Soul.

Whoosh, a wave of energy flowed into me. Feeling me up like water in a sponge. It 's like I was on low-power mode before. Or something, and right now I'm on 100 percent performance. I felt so wholesome. So rejuvenated, I kind of wonder how the other stat's would feel. "I think I'm getting addicted to this already." I chuckled.

But my mind was already going elsewhere. I noticed something mind boggling. I can sense something again!

I don't know how long it's been sense I discovered my self i this void. But after destroying the now-a-corpse(I think that nickname is going to last. But, I'm sick of thinking about the now-a-corpse. After all, I have new prey now... Hopefully)

Determined. I used every last ounce of my energy to investigate. The source of whatever I'm sensing. Hmm, it seems that I'm sensing something behind the void. Opening my eyes, which I never knew closed. I stared in the direction of what I'm sensing. But I couldn't see anything but void. Annoyed I tried harder. Forcing my greedy spirit into the void. *I shall have what I want!*

My raging mindset practically jumped out. "You can't contain me!" I shouted. As I rammed at the void. Bang, the void was actually solid? It seemed like it was trying to stop me from continuing. "F*ck off!", I slammed my fist at the void over and over again. Yet instead of getting weaker. I hit harder each time.

(hehe, #In the bed)

...

(Ignore that DX)

In a fit of rage, which appeared after multiple failed attempts. I lost all reason, and winded far back. Away from the spot I was continuously hitting. And then I charged towards it with all. My strength. (And I mean every ounce of strength, I had)

Then, right before I crashed into it. I used my soul energy too. And focused them on my fist. Raising them, as I suddenly leaped. Using my momentum,

I clasped my hands together into a fist. leaned my body forward while still mid space. And pulled my legs back, kind of like I was in a squatting position. Only my arms were bended upward, hands closed into hammers. And I was angled forward.

Hammering my fist at the targeted spot of the void. Which I was previously focused on hitting. The Void exploded open! Followed by a huge.

-Boom!!!!!!!!-
