Gu Fanyu had solved one problem, but a much bigger one was still ahead of him.
After a moment of thought, he spoke up. "System, this world is too dangerous. It's not a place for an ordinary person like me. My chances of survival are slim. I need to awaken my powers quickly to stay alive here."
The System responded, "When you were sent to this world, we chose the nearest one to save energy. But yes, this world is dangerous. To help you survive, I suggest you spend 500 world origin points to speed up your body's absorption of Mana. Normally, it would take two months before you could awaken, but with the System's help, you can awaken your powers immediately."
"Do you know what kind of power I might get?"
"The System doesn't know yet. But don't worry—once you get stronger, you can gain any kind of supernatural power you want."
"Alright," Gu Fanyu decided. "Let's do it."
As soon as he agreed, the System's voice echoed, "Ding! Starting Mana absorption process at 10x speed."
In the blink of an eye, Gu Fanyu felt Mana rushing into his body, filling every pore. After a while, the Mana absorption slowed and finally stopped. He felt a cool energy flow into his mind, refreshing his entire body. His skin, muscles, organs, and bones all felt tougher, and his mind was clearer than ever.
But something puzzled him.
"What power did I awaken?" he muttered to himself.
The System's voice answered, "You can check your personal information to see your attributes. Do you want to open it?"
"Sure, open it."
Ding!

When Gu Fanyu saw that his special ability was spatial power, he frowned, feeling a bit disappointed. From Brian's memory, he knew that spatial powers were considered among the weakest. They lacked attack and defense capabilities, falling into the category of support abilities.
In a world where people could destroy cars with a single punch and monsters as big as houses roamed, this was troubling.
Sensing his disappointment, the System spoke up, "Host, in this world, there is no such thing as a useless ability—only useless people!"
The System's words calmed Gu Fanyu. "System, is there a way to quickly master my power?"
"To master spatial power, you need to study everything about space."
"Hmm, that could take a month if I study on my own. That's too long!" Gu Fanyu muttered.
"Don't worry, Host. The System can directly send all the knowledge about spatial power to your brain. Do you want to receive it?"
Gu Fanyu felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. "Yes," he replied.
Suddenly, it felt like countless needles were stabbing into his brain. He fell to the ground, clutching his head, trying not to pass out. His veins bulged as he endured the pain, but eventually, it began to fade.
"D-damn it! System… what was that? Why did it hurt so much this time?"
"It's not the System's fault!" the System replied. "To help you fully learn and understand everything about spatial power quickly, the process was more intense."
Gu Fanyu's mouth twitched. "You call that 'a little painful'? If my body hadn't transformed, I would've passed out."
After a while, Gu Fanyu stood up, his body drenched in sweat. But as he calmed down and felt the changes within him, he realized it had been worth it.
Now, he knew how to use his power.
When he activated his ability, he sensed everything within a 2-kilometer radius. This was his space domain. Within this range, he could manipulate space itself, warping it and even controlling gravity.
"Wow, this feels amazing," Gu Fanyu said, marveling at the sensation.
"There are no weak abilities, only weak people. If I use this spatial power right, it could be even stronger than psychokinesis!"
He burst into laughter, overjoyed. "Finally, I've got my own superpower, my first goal… achieved!"
"Cough… cough… Host, control yourself. Don't overdo it!" the System interrupted.
Gu Fanyu paused, startled by the System's voice. His expression quickly turned serious as he tried to act like nothing had happened.
