My breath intake was heavy and distorted, my panting drawing higher than usual. I fell to the ground, lying with all my limbs stretched.
"I won!".
My yelling was minimized so I wouldn't attract a dangerous beast.
"I won! Did you see that voice, I won! I like totally defeated that giant!".
The exchange was astounding and the experience was well worth it. The thrill of the event registered in my body and my thoughts constantly wandered through it over and over again.
Coming from someone who had just had his first fight, this was a moment that will forever be embedded in me never to be forgotten.
Yes, I saw. Though A Better Outcome Than This Would Have Been To Forcefully Subdue The Orc And Sign Him As Your First Legion Recruit
"...?".

"...?!".
"Ha- Haha. I could have, couldn't I?... But you know, he is an Orc, a Deaman and I am a Human. Our language wouldn't be the same so I can't communicate enough to convince him to-
I Have The Ability To Translate All Languages. One Of The Feature To Make Your Goal Easier For You
"...?".

"... ?".

"Why do you have to be this way?!".
What Do You Refer To
"That! I mean this! Why do you have to reign on my parade?!".
I Am Afraid I Don't Understand What You Mean
"I hate you, seriously".
Your Opinion Of Me Matters Not To Me. My Duty Is To Record The Advancement Of Your Civilization As Well As Aide You On Matters Concerning Your Civilization
"Right. That is true".
Due to how well the voice speaks, I sometimes forget what its purpose is and that above all else, the chances of it being a human are slim.
Being alone must have been getting to me.
"Next time when we meet a Deaman, activate the language translation function".
I do hope when that happens, my next encounter will not turn out to be so violent.
Due to the logical approach of the voice, whatever excitement I had welling up in me had died down. All I could do was lay there by the river bank while trying to recover my lost force energy.
My fight with the Orc had pushed me to the other side of the stream I came from.
"Oh right. Before I forget".
I quickly got up and ran to the stream, staring down at the flowing river.
"Hmm... It is normal!".
Earlier, my eyes had shown me something that could only be seen with an MRI scan. I would say it did even better than an MRI, fleshing out all the details to see.
I turned to look at the Orc's body. It was normal, I couldn't see past the tough skin.
"Is it because I am currently not infusing force?!".
I figured it wasn't bringing the expected result because I had not infused my force energy.
I infused my force and took another look at the dead Orc. Not a second after I did, I saw the fine details of the Orc's organs.
Disgusting?! You bet it is.
I could see his veins, see his heart, the blood pumping through his body. I also saw something close to his heart.
Sublime energy was gathering around there. It was hazy in the form of a very tiny wisp.
My thoughts immediately went straight to it being the force core. I managed to narrow it down to it not being the force core, but the process of the force core's formation stage.
A stage before it becomes a complete force core.
I assessed it this way because, during our fight, the Orc never used anything about force or an aspect.
What is stopping him from using what could have probably been the strongest weapon in his arsenal?!
My conclusion? Because he doesn't have it yet. He can't use what he does not have.
Now back to me. I rescinded my view of the stream and looked down.
This was when I discovered the changes that had happened to my eyes.
The black dot in my eyes had grown to the same size as the white yolk, now both colours were in a circled pattern with one colour occupying one side and the other occupying the other.
It is the same pattern as the depiction of yin-yang. Light and dark, positive and negative. Moving together but never catching up to one another.
"Voice. What is this".
I questioned, short of exclamatory expression to project.
Congratulations Relic Theophilus Alderman. You Have Attained Your Innate Trait
"Innate talent? You mean like an extra aspect".
No! Innate Trait Is Closer To Talent. One's Natural Gift From Birth That In Most Cases Awaken Alongside Essence And Vitality Merge To Create Force
Trait Holders Are Rare As It Is The Existing Traits, Ranging From Extraordinary Perceptual Senses To Instantaneous All Formulating Knowledge
"So you are saying of those cool existing traits, mine as a human is an eye that lets me see on a transparent level?!".
That sounds kind of messed up to me.
It Is Not Up To Me To Dictate What Your Trait Could Be
"Is that a roundabout way of agreeing that I have a shitty talent for a human".
Seriously. Never thought something like this was true. The thing about natural talent.
I believe one's effort is what determines the amount of knowledge possible to have in an area, not leaving it up to talent.
Innate Trait varies Into Four Categories; Common, Rare, Bloodline, and Unique. These are Further Broken Down Into Growth Type Trait And Dormant Type Trait
That Your Trait Of Current Appears Useless Should Not Be A Reason To Be Dejected
"So one's trait can grow from its initial stage?! What are the requirements for that to happen".
Of That, I Cannot Say. I Am A Sentient Designed To Assist You In Your Civilization Growth. Anything Beyond That Escapes Me
"I get it. But let's get one thing straight. You are telling me now that this eye pattern of mine is a result of my innate trait. Is that about right?".
Yes!
"And it is not like anything dangerous that can cause my eyes to go blind or explode".
That?... I Do Not Know For I Have No Knowledge Of What Your Innate Trait Is
"If you do not know, doesn't that mean my trait falls under the unique category?! I am certain it cannot be bloodline since you know... My family are very much normal.
Except bloodline here means something different from what I know".
Of That, I Have No Knowledge
Figured it would say that.
"So, which one of the four is stronger?".
This is important to note and it's totally not because I want to believe that I whose trait falls under an assumed unique would be stronger.
They Are All Equally Strong And Useful Depending On How One Utilizes
However, There Are Ancient Research That Has Shown Bloodline Trait Holders To Be Of Higher Capacity Than Others
"What why?!".
Now that was a shocker to me.
Their Trait Often Times Dates Back To The Ancient Times Before The Resurgence When Force Users Were Rampant And At Their Very Peak
At Said Time When The Bloodline Trait Holders Surfaced, Dominating The Ranks Of All Trait Holders
"You know for someone who refuses to release any information, you sure do know how to speak a lot about these ancient times".
I interrupted, a tad bit annoyed to know that my unique trait wasn't exactly all that.
Bloodline Trait Holders Also Have The Advantage Of Inheriting Trait Forms And Skills Left Behind By Their Ancestors
While Rare And Common Also Have This Advantage, They Pale In Comparison To Bloodliners Who Are Dictated Under A Clan With Specific Lineage Qualities Flowing Through Them
"Enough".
Listening to the voice speak only does well to bring down my inflated expectations.
"The brief rundown is, unique trait users have it the hardest. As to the uniqueness of their traits, learning becomes difficult to grasp since they will not have access to recorded research on their traits.
Right".
Yes! To Better Understand Your Ability And How Well It Works, Training Is Advised
Efficiency Is Also A Feature That Could Grow Your Innate Trait. Assuming It Falls Under The Growth Type Trait
I said it before and I will be repeating it; work. That is what this is
Why can't things ever be made easy for me?!
If The Bloodline Superior Potency Bothers You That Much, You Will Be Happy To Know That The Numbers Of Existing Varying Bloodline Trait Holders Do Not Make Up To A Percent Of All Existing Trait Holders
"And why would that be of concern to me?".
I said, grinning at the sideline with a rekindled hope.
"If it won't reduce the amount of work willed to me, there is no reason to rejoice o-
I felt something grab my ankle from the ground.
The surroundings as well suddenly turned hotter, the heat stronger on my right.
Turning there, I saw a burning fire round in shape and the size of three balls joined together, coming at me at an absurd speed.
