When the blast finally dissipated, I was left with an unfamiliar blue sphere hovering next to me.
I slowly walked closer, my curiosity overpowering any fear I had.
The red orbs stopped glowing as soon as I approached, and for a moment I couldn't comprehend what was happening. But I soon realized that something had changed inside me - I was lighter, and I had gained access to my first level-stage of Soul Force.
I wasn't sure how to use this newfound power-boost yet or if it would help me in a fight against my father.
As the evening came upon me, I was reminded of the mysterious book that was passed down in our family – "The Dawn Record." It said that unlocking the first stage of Soul Force meant being designated as a "Seedling" - but what secrets did this new title hold?
However, "This Problem; since that black-hole spirit left, that was best to describe that spirit, it was like a ghost that come from somewhere else, and never saw a spirit before. I guess, I must know more about it for a while." I was thinking.
For the sake of my knowledge, I need to do something about it.
How can I escape out this Spirit habit realm, that spirit did call me out here, but where did that spirit goes off to?
As I walked around to search for something that can help me find a way to get back home, it felt like an hour or two for me.
I can see a white shining light, but it wasn't really helpful for me.
However, amidst my mind came with the ordinary, there lies something truly extraordinary - a vibrant, bright-blue shining fruit that emits a captivating glow. Its unique hue and radiant luminosity make it a remarkable spectacle to behold. This astonishing fruit stands out from the rest, casting a mesmerizing aura that captures the attention of all who encounter it, as i can tell, cause it was shining through my eye.
In the middle of the glowing orb, was a small hole that leads into an endless abyss of darkness. I was curious, so I tried reaching out to touch the fruit; however, before I could even lay a finger on it, a voice echoed throughout my mind, saying: "Don't you dare to touch that,"
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind me.
It was none other than the mysterious Spirit, standing right next to me with its arms crossed.
"You see this fruit? It's called the Forge Fruit," the spirit spoke, "and you will never touch it,"
I stared at it curiously for a few moments before speaking up.
"What does this fruit do?"
"I'll tell you later, for now you must find a way out of here," the spirit said.
"Since you're still here for too long, I will find a way to send you home, but you must not eat the Forge Fruit, for it can destroy you for good, Hiro."
"I won't let that happen to me, don't worry about me Spirit. I am just a child, but I can handle anything you throw at me," I said with a smirk
"Huh, then I suppose you can handle this then," The spirit said with a grin
The spirit snapped its fingers and suddenly, I felt an intense pain coursing through my body.
It felt like I was being torn apart from the inside out.
"This right here, i am doing is called an Incantation - a spell that uses your own mana against you.
The spirit explained.
I tried to fight back against the pain, but it was too much for me to handle. I fell to the ground, unable to move or speak.
I can't help but to think if it was a wrong choice to take the Forge Fruit for myself, but I wasn't gonna let this pain stop me from achieving my goal.
"There is a negligible probability of survival in this situation. Historically, no individual has demonstrated the ability to overcome this challenge effortlessly."
As the pain intensified, my mind began to drift off into a distant place - a place where everything was calm and peaceful. I could hear the wind whistling gently as it brushed against my cheek, while the soothing sound of waves crashing onto a nearby shore filled my ears.
But suddenly, I felt a sharp jolt of pain course through my body once more; my consciousness snapped back into reality and I realized what was happening: the spirit had begun casting another incantation on me.
"Plea..se stop," I pleaded weakly, barely able to form the words.
"I am afraid I cannot do that. It's either you die, or you suffer from immense pain for all eternity.
And judging by the look on your face, I assume that you will choose the latter," the spirit said nonchalantly.
"However, I'm feeling generous today, so I'll give you one last chance: surrender now and accept your fate, or continue to resist and suffer the consequences," The spirit gave me an ultimatum.
I didn't want to give in so easily, but I knew that I would die if I continued fighting against the pain. I had no choice but to comply with the spirit's demands.
I hung my head in defeat, letting out a sigh of frustration.
"Fine, I surrender," I muttered through clenched teeth.
"Excellent choice," the spirit said with a smirk. "Now, if you don't mind, I'll be taking my leave,"
Before I could respond, the spirit disappeared from sight, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
In my mind I wanted to challenge that spirit for a moment, but my physical and mental strength had been drained.
I wasn't ready for anything now, especially since I wasn't supposed to be there.
But- After receiving such a response, I am left wondering: why does the spirit keep disappear.
Nevertheless, I am curious to know the contents of this spirit realm cave. What sort of things are present inside?
Whatever it could be, it must've held some significance history or significant to that cave itself.
It's not like I can leave yet, but I have to find something useful to help me escape.
If only I could access my magical powers, then maybe I'd have a better chance at getting out of here...
That spirit was mysterious, it kept on disappearing all the time, but i need to know about it, before I go back to my home.
After searching for a long time, I find something strange, it was an ancient tablet with some unknown writing on it.
I touched the tablet to see if it would react in any way, but nothing happened.
Then, I decided to take a closer look at the writing. It looked like it had been written in the old language, but it was so faded that I couldn't make out any of the words.
"That paper was called the Book of Wisdom, it was the most powerful book ever existed," a voice echoed.
I turned around confused, who was speaking with me, is there some kind of magic to talk with me?
"Who are you?", I asked, trying to hide my fear.
"It's me, the spirit," the voice replied.
"I came back to see if you were still here. It seems that you're still alive, which is quite a surprise," the spirit spoken
"What do you mean by that?", I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, you've been in this spirit realm for almost an 3 day," the spirit explained.
This revelation surprised me. How long had I been here?
"How could that be possible,I don't remember being here for that long," I said, feeling a sense of confusion wash over me.
