As I left the dining room after breakfast, a surge of excitement pulsed through me. I couldn't wait to explore and experiment with my newfound power.
Making my way back to my room, I felt a sense of anticipation building within me.Gazing out of the window, my eyes fell upon the gardener diligently tending to the vibrant green lawn.
I took a deep breath, preparing myself for the task at hand. Opening my mind's eye, I focused my attention on the gardener, allowing the floodgates of information to open.
But instead of clarity and understanding, I was met with a torrent of overwhelming data that cascaded through my mind like a raging river. The sheer volume of information bombarded my senses, causing an intense and splitting pain in my head.
It felt as though my brain was struggling to process the vast amount of data streaming in.The intensity of the experience quickly became unbearable, causing my head to throb with an excruciating pain. Gasping for air, I instinctively closed my mind's eye, feeling drained and weakened. My face turned pale, resembling a blank sheet of paper and my back soaking wet, as the consequences of pushing my abilities to their boundaries became apparent.
Unable to fully comprehend and analyze the intricacies of living beings, my brain seemed to protest against the overwhelming task. It was a stark reminder that my power had its limitations, especially when it came to the complex nature of living organisms. The pain and weakness in my leg served as a physical manifestation of the strain I had put on myself.
Recognizing the need to streamline the information, I realized that I had to establish specific parameters and filter out unnecessary details. I pondered over the best approach, searching for a way to condense the information into a concise and easily understandable format.Suddenly, a realization struck me.
Memories from my past life, particularly the countless hours spent playing video games, flooded my mind. In those games, characters were often presented with clear attributes and abilities, neatly organized in a status screen. It was a format I was familiar with, one that simplified complex information.
Drawing inspiration from those games, I devised a set of parameters that would allow me to grasp the essence of what I observed. As I refocused my mind's eye on the gardener, a transformation occurred. Instead of an overwhelming deluge of data, the details took on a structured form, reminiscent of a video game status screen.
The gardener, identified as John, appeared before Arthur's inner vision, accompanied by a set of parameters that defined his attributes and abilities. The details were concise and easy to understand, resembling the status screens of characters in video games.

Excited by this breakthrough, Arthur realized that he had unlocked a powerful tool for appraisal and understanding.

With practice and refinement, he could further harness this ability to gain insights and make informed decisions in his upcoming plans.
After having my experiment successful I wanted to explore more of this newfound powers.
As I walked through the castle hallways, I caught sight of two guards engaged in a conversation. Curiosity piqued, I discreetly approached, trying to eavesdrop on their discussion.
Guard A: "This year's winter is going to be brutal. The temperature is dropping rapidly, and I've heard rumors of barbarians lurking near the duke's territory."
Guard B: "I fear for the people. Will the duke come to their aid? Baron Joseph even requested his assistance just yesterday."
Guard A: laughs "You're too naive, young one. The duke doesn't care about the poor. In fact, he'd be glad if they all perished. He wouldn't have to bother with taking care of them anymore."
Their conversation painted a grim reality, one where the suffering of the impoverished was seen as inconsequential to those in power. It was a harsh reminder of the feudal society in which I now found myself.Opening my mind's eye, I focused on the guards.
