After I threw the pill into my mouth, I felt my body relaxing a bit. Along with that, I also stopped yawning. There weren't any clear changes on my mind but I knew it had also relaxed a bit.
Now, the thing about seals...
It was a problematic matter.
First, he had practically no knowledge on constructing seals except he knew that it was based off on the principles of existence. It used one's soul, the thing that was exclusive to living beings, in order to construct things.
When constructing them, the soul had to possess various qualities. Not just the technique, it would also need the strength to produce it.
This was called the soul power.
The soul power of people varied for each but at the start, most of them were the same - weak and unable to influence reality by much.
His soul power was the same as everyone else from birth. However, due to the things he had understood till now, it turned out to be a stronger than others.
If measured by the value, the average person's soul power was 1 while his was 1.3.
It might look insignificant but the difference was actually big since 0 represented soulless beings, in other words, things that are not alive.
"It should mean I should be able to grasp its concept faster than others right?"
Thinking like this, I tried once again which also turned out to be a failure.
"..."
This was his 4th try. He knew that things, especially complicated things like seals required practice but this can't go on for long. Yesterday, he thought he was getting closer and closer but thinking about that feeling now, he was actually not improving one bit.
It was just the appliance of brute power up until now. It may have looked like he was getting closer but it was more like constructing without understanding anything which led to the randomness of it.
He wasn't a genius. It was just the doing of his subconscious.
However, just then, he thought of something.
The dark realm he saw before. There, he felt like he was at peace of mind making him able to understand things much easier and faster.
'Can I go there?'
Thinking of this, he opened the system and no matter where he looked, there really wasn't any option leading to that place.
If so, can I go there just thinking about it?
As I thought, I willed myself to enter a half transcendent state before willing myself to go that place again.
Just as I willed that, my surrounding view changed suddenly as I soon found myself in that dark realm again.
No light, neither any solid matter I could step on.
Instead, it was just space where I floated in. It even felt like I had no corporeal body and that I was just a floating orb.
Mostly importantly, it felt relaxing and peaceful.
It put my mind at ease and made my comprehension speed faster.
So staying within that dark realm, I floated there without end as my thoughts seemed to reverberate within the void. It was only after a long time was I able to comprehend the structure of a seal.
Now, according to his speculations, it should only take 1 try before I am able to comprehend seals.
Extracting myself from the dark realm, I went back to reality.
The bright colors of the world seemed to blind my eyes.
It was hard adapting to it so I just decided to do it with his eyes closed. Nothing would change anyways; the structure was too simple to miss.
I began drawing on the air with my eyes closed. After supposedly completing the drawing, I indeed felt the existence of a complete seal before me. It didn't even need another try.
Even with my eyes closed, I was able to see its structure and its fluctuations within the world.
It was a faint blue seal consisting of a circle and two dots. The connection between the two dots was mysterious and extraordinary as the people who looked at it couldn't help but not take their gazes away.
Besides that, the seal in its entirety was also sending out small wave like fluctuation towards its surroundings. They were gentle but fast.
[Task: Successfully construct a seal has been completed]
[You have received 5 exp]
[You have received sealing knowledge]
It wasn't like last time. Instead, it just appeared within his mind as if a key was inserted into a chest and the content within it appeared.
Along that, he also received some knowledge on constructing seals and what their basic symbols represented and meant.
It was practically a whole summary on the constructure of seals.
Along with that also came a line.
A line from the system itself.
[You have completed the initialization gift. There won't be any other gifts]
