(Maria's POV)
When I woke up, the sun was already rising from the horizon. The light of the sun was warm and comforting, and for some reason it really felt nice despite being a ghost. It felt as if it permeated my "skin" very deliciously… Wait, deliciously?
There's something odd. I feel more… real than before? It seems that this might be related to a Skill- Wait, right! [Materialization] had evolved into [Embodiment] last night! I forgot about that… Is this why I feel so "real" now?
I looked into my hands, and touched them, they felt so fleshy it was slightly frightening. I had the impulse of grabbing a knife, cutting myself, and seeing if blood would come out, and I did. But what came out was just bluish phantasmal essence. And the "wound" wasn't even one, as everything healed automatically.
