"Remember what the Monarch said..."
"Maybe, I need to meditate in here too? Let's start then..."
Samiel started doing the things Monarch has shown, surprisingly this white, colorless world helped him to enter the meditative state quickly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, all of the white space started to circle like a typhoon, circling around one point, if someone looked closely they would see the white space shrinking and being absorbed at an alarming rate.
Then, Samiel's baby body slowly appeared in this white space again. It was shining in white light, maybe because he was crazily devouring this white space. And white space continued to shrink but it was still huge, if he was awake now, he would say nothing had changed by looking around. After all, he still would see the same white space.
On the outside of his mind. His baby body was shining in white light as well, thankfully there was no one in here to see this phenomenon, or else they would question what was happening undoubtedly.
A lot of time passed in Samiel's mind...
While only two hours passed in the outside world.
The white space was now in the shape of a medium-sized planet.
One hour later. On the outside, in real-time.
Hazel entered Samiel's room again to feed him, but she saw him sleeping soundlessly in a cute manner and instantly forgot the reason why she came.
"C... C... Cuteeee!" She thought inwardly. She couldn't control her emotions. {If the little master is this cute, then he will become the most handsome man in this world... I need to forge this moment in my memory!}
"System, open. Capture moment. Countdown 10." She muttered and using her system's function she took many pictures of baby Salamander and her together with him. Her actions were really fast.
Suddenly, the baby's eyes opened and they instantly wandered around in search of a living being. Then they spotted the frozen figure of Hazel. They showed a relieved look and the baby closed his eyes.
"What-what happened to the young master?"
"Did he see a nightmare?"
"Should I wake him up?"
"No, I shouldn't bother him." Hazel panicked as she didn't know what to do.

An unknown amount of time passed inside Samiel's mind.
Slowly his deep blue eyes opened and he awakened from the meditative state.
"I feel like I have slept for eternity..." He murmured.
Then he looked around him and several question marks appeared on his head. He couldn't help but ask again.
"Now, where the hell am I?"
It seems he appeared in some mysterious place, again.
Now, he saw endless dark space instead of white space. However, there were countless lights in this dark space. He could also see many mysterious magic circles and runes all over the place he was standing.
"Wait! I can feel it!" He said. "I can feel my... my... what?"
"Mind?... No... My soul! Yes, I can feel my soul!" He exclaimed.
Then, he remembered Monarch's words.
"Every person's mind space differentiates from each other. They may contain their thoughts and personality or their inner desires. For example, a swordsman's mind space may contain a space that is full of swords or anything related to it, or it may contain things the swordsman even doesn't know. Or it may even be empty - however, those who have an empty mind space won't have a soul talent... Moreover, everyone has mind space capacity from Soul Birth... Every mind awakener must start from the beginning..." (Monarch's words in Samiel's dream)
Then Samiel remembered the most important detail of those words.
"... However, there are people whose mind space is abnormal or have never appeared in the universe at all... They also may have infinite mind capacity or powerful mental abilities... They are called The Cursed and Blessed Minds or Souls... Their way of cultivating the mind is not the same as the others... As for how only they can figure it out by themselves..." (Monarch's words in Samiel's dream)
"So according to him, am I one of The Cursed and Blessed Minds or Souls? Is that why my space was different?" Samiel asked himself.
"If I can feel both my mind and my soul in here, does that mean this is my soul's place with the merging of mind space?"
"But then, how did this happen?" Samiel was bewildered at the situation.
"Hmmm... Let's calm down... There is no need to panic... I just need to think..."
"First, let's check if I can move my soul here..." Samiel spoke.
Then he tried to move his soul. At first, he sensed nothing, there was no connection between his mind and soul... {Or did I understand it wrong?}
"No... I just have to try again..." He spoke to himself.
Then he tried, tried, and tried...
After a long time...
"Finally... I am doing it..." He muttered slowly. It seems he was out of mental stamina*?* or whatever it is.
Now, he could move his fingers easily...
"But, whenever I try to move, something will try to restrain me and... and... and there will be resistance..."
"I need to break that..."
Samiel muttered and he collected all the willpower he had left and tried again.
"Urghhh!" Suddenly unbearable pain assaulted both his mind and soul...
"No... I can do it... I know... Arghh!.... If I break this thing... something that benefits me will happen....!" He muttered as the pain was trying to take over him.
Snap!
-Crackle! -Crackle! -Crackle! -Crackle! -Crackle!
Suddenly loud sounds of something being cracked started to across all over the space.
~Crack!
Finally, something broke and Samiel's right hand moved with fast speed.
"Haha... I don't know what that was... but finally, I did it..." He muttered with the little willpower he had left.
Then his vision started to blur, darkness started to take over his consciousness...
"Wh... at.... the... se...?" He muttered before his soul went unconscious...
He saw many little red things while his vision was still blurring and that was why he asked that question.
Suddenly both of his eyes opened and shone in white light then he disappeared from that place...

In Samiel's room.
Hazel was still sitting beside the baby Samiel.
"Two hours passed, yet the little master still hasn't woken up yet..."
"What should I do? Should I contact the Lady?"
"But, he looks like he is sleeping..."
In these two hours, she never left his side and waited for him to wake up. But after that possible 'nightmare', Samiel still hasn't woken up.
{Ha-Hezel?} (In Hazel's mind)
Suddenly, Hazel heard an unknown voice inside her head.
