Boom!
As the floodgates of memories burst open, Eric felt like a vessel overflowing with water. The sheer volume of experiences threatened to consume him whole, erasing his sense of identity.
He saw himself as a warrior, wielding ancient swords and fighting battles long forgotten. He saw himself as a sage, pouring over mystical texts and unlocking secrets of the universe. He saw himself as a king, ruling over civilizations and shaping the course of history.
The memories were not his own, yet they felt intimately familiar. Eric felt like he had lived them himself, as if his soul had been reincarnated countless times. The visions blurred together, forming a kaleidoscope of images that left him gasping for breath.
Desperate to regain control, Eric focused on his breath, drawing upon the Qi Refining techniques he had somehow inherited. He visualized his essence, spirit, and soul as three interconnected threads, weaving them together into a harmonious whole. Slowly, the maelstrom of memories receded, leaving Eric shaken but determined.
Suddenly before Eric could react, he felt as time stilled, air freezes and even himself brought to a halt as a moment latter;
Boom!
His eyes dulled as a vision that could be said to be a big file appears in his head. With golden mystical lights all around. Horns blaring, with drums beating as if a cacophony of glory.
A majestic white book appeared with strange golden symbols as it hovered inside His sea of consciousness.
Eric was left gasping for breath as he felt oppressed just by gazing at the majestic book but he also felt compelled to look at it.
The book hovered as mystical energy emanates from it, Eric felt compelled to read as he focused to read the strange golden symbols, and true, without any knowledge Eric was somehow able to understand the characters;
"THE ECHOES OF ETERNITY"
Boom!
He felt his mind go blank as he was astounded by such a domineering name. As he watched,he saw the book opening by itself slowly but swift as it opens to the fist page. Suddenly a domineering aura poured out from void and enveloped him completely, his legs turn weaky and trembling, it was as if he had been thrust into an ancient battlefield where gods and demons alike are slain.
As he tried to gain his footing under the oppressive Aura, Eric felt a rush in his mind as the recently gained memories from the orb emerge then divided into three portions.
As the first one entered into the first page. Characters started appearing on the empty page which also caused the radiating Aura to change.
As if imbued with life, the oppressive Aura changed to a soothing and gentle Aura as he felt his already strong muscles and bones gradually being strengthen again.
The remaining two portions of memories also rushed and entered the latter part of the book but Eric was so engrossed in the feeling of being strengthen as he didn't noticed that.
He then locked his senses onto the opened page as he tried to decipher the characters. Then,
Boom!
He felt as if he had been sent to an ancient battlefield, he saw himself as an ancient warrior, wielding swords and fighting battles long forgotten. He felt the rush of adrenaline, the weight of armor, and the sting of wounds. He saw himself as a fierce protector, defending lands and people against invaders and monsters. But long enough, he was himself again, panting for breath, he felt so excited that he was shaking all over..
"This is it! This is what a man should do everyday..haa haa"
He felt as if he should be left to experience these blood boiling memories all over again.
Eric inexplicably gained informations about the first page, a mystical technique of an unknown grade, which contains battling techniques, weapons proficiency of any kind, a moving technique and most of all, battle experiences of countless immortals.
As Eric felt the oppressive Aura emanating from him he then imagined a fierce looking broadsword with blood red veins all over and;
Whoosh.! He felt his energy reserves fluctuates slightly and a bloodthirsty looking broadsword was conjured in his hand from energy.But it looked so real.
"I'm sure when I comprehends more of the text and could still held onto sanity, then I could even materialize amours and many artefacts"
"So if the first page gave me this much, what about the rest of the pages and the book in whole?" Eric contemplated on the potential of the Mystical book, he had already tried opening the next page but the book didn't bulge.
