It was a small female creature with features like that of an elf with four wings on its back looking at Ast with eyes full of amazement.
Initially, Ast was also surprised but it suddenly dawned upon him that the skill had placed too many restrictions on him (only two senses available, node etc) and he didn't know if the creature in front of him was hostile.
So the question was how to defend himself within this dimension. But before he could ponder on his thoughts the pixie in front of him suddenly made some weird sounds, there was panic in her voice and eyes, and then it vanished completely. Ast was now wondering if the creature was truly gone, he tried using his 'all-seeing eye' and the space was truly empty. (Ast does not know much about this race).
Ast was thinking that maybe that pixie was also scared of him as he was of her. Ast then tried to look at his own body.
Ast found out he had nobody. He looked down and saw nothing. It was as if only his consciousness was left and everything else was gone. But then he remembered the information that the skill dumped on him and it did say that his body would be deconstructed.
Thinking along the lines he wondered why was the pixie scared of him if he had no body at all. 'Was it because it could sense me? Or am I visible in some other form? Uhh, too many questions and no one to answer... Let's just find the answers later' Ast thought.
If Ast could perceive how he truly looked at this moment, he would be surprised as well. Maybe even scared.
Ast body was truly gone all that remains was a pair of eyes. Golden mysterious eyes glowing with various colours. At one instance they would be of deep blue colour, the next instance pitch black. And it wasn't an instantaneous colour change, it was a slow fade-away effect. Anyone looking at these eyes would be caught in a trance.
These eyes were mysterious and scary as well. Imagine coming to a semi-lit room and to find out these mysterious eyes looking at you, but the scary part was there was nothing else but these eyes, looking as if peeking at your very soul.
Ast forgot about this incident and then began to satiate his curiosity by exploring this new dimension. Ast had always wondered about the central region of the orient forest.
The elders of the tribe have been very clear that it was very dangerous in the central regions of the orient forest and no one dared to venture this far out, but now Ast could sneak a peak at the mystery of the orient forest.
Ast swiftly made his way towards the central region while keeping his skill 'All seeing eye' active. He did that as he knew that his skill 'zero dimension' was not invincible.
While moving towards his target area Ast observed a lot of strong beasts along the way but up till now, they didn't notice his presence at all. Ast also came across a nest of bats. They looked harmless at first but then he observed them hunting three strong Fire Leopards and completely sucking them dry within minutes.
Ast was scared by the horrendous scene as he had heard about the mention of these strong Fire Leopards in many legends he heard in the chrome clan. So he knew how strong they were, but in front of these bats, they seemed quite docile.
Now while moving towards the central region Ast observed a lot of weird runes and circles drawn at various places. Ast was now on full caution mode as he didn't want to be involved in something dangerous. He had just got his life-changing opportunity through his sss grade talent and he didn't want all possibilities of his glorious future to go away.
When Ast was just about to leave he got a pop-up message on his talent panel.
[Detected an ss grade talent ????** do you wish to copy]
Ast was surprised by this message and he saw that it didn't even show the name of the talent. But Ast didn't mind he copied the talent.
[SS grade talent 'Blood Monarch' copied do you wish to install
This was the first time the system asked for an installation request, otherwise, he would just show his intent towards a section and the talent would be copied. But Ast didn't mind that either because now he had an opportunity to have his first permanent talent. But the only lingering fear in his mind was why was a blood talent available again. Twice in two days... Ast was scared by the possibility that came to his mind.
