Chapter 88: He is awake

Oliver was still in his mindscape, he was experiencing the vagueness of being in Abyss but he was unable to clearly feel anything.

He would shudder from time to time whenever a monster-like entity would be seen by him.

Creatures with shadowy hair as thick as leather, otherworldly faces bulging from the skin, and horrifying specifics that he was unable to see in the void.

As he kept falling more and more, the creatures became more and more menacing.

Suddenly as if something clicked, he felt an even deeper sense of connection with the Abyss.

He felt his body anew, as if he was now in a different body, he could feel power rushing from every corner of his body.

Unknown knowledge about many things suddenly rushed into his mind, he was unable to comprehended some while other pieces of the information were just as equally complex or disturbing in nature.

Information regarding his new self entered his mind, it seemed that he had become a creature of Abyss.

Or something more...

He was unable to tell.

The abyss energy, he could feel it inside his veins... flowing naturally as blood.

He was unable to understand many things but he felt himself calm.

It was an eerie calm, as if he was not much affected by things happening around him.

Oliver....

Oliver.

Oliver.

"OLIVER!"

He started hearing his name being called out, slowly drawing him out of the void.

"Umm..."

He groaned slightly confused, slowly opening his eyes, there was no pain in his body anymore.

A bright light assaulted his eyes as he slowly opened them.

'Beautiful...'

He said looking at the black sky, well, not exactly the void clouds but the countless colorful particles floating in the atmosphere all around.

Those were the espera particles, he could clearly see them, more defined and more detailed.

"..."

'You are shaking your head, this means you understand me, right?'

He could tell that the clan guardian was quite stupid at acting and her skills were below average so he did not mind her and just patted her head.

"How can that be?" he said. "I must have misunderstood."

The cat also glanced at his body and was momentarily stunned.

'He's already Rank-1?' she was shocked.

'What's with this ridiculous amount of espera,' she found it hard to believe, 'this is definitely not the espera level of a Rank-1.'

She could obviously feel the espera radiating out of Oliver's body, he had broke through Rank-1 for some reason.

'But how...!?'

He was a normal talentless boy with barely any espera and now suddenly he not only had abundant espera but also way more espera than any genius she had seen so far.

It would be hard to believe that this kid was the same kid who had barely any espera just a day ago.

If someone sensed through him, they would feel he was nothing but a genius among geniuses.

He put her down as he slowly got up.

He knew things were not simple looking at those fading clouds filled with those hollow particles.

And for the clan guardian to come here, he must be the cause of this.

'It seems she has helped me this time.'

He placed his hand over his chest as he felt the tremendous abyssal energy flowing inside him.

And looking over at her, he felt that she was not able to sense this.

In the novel, there was never been the mention of the Abyss or Abyssal energy so he was able to conclude that she was not aware of it.

Even though this was a complete mystery, he did not intend to tell her about it. He doubted that she had any clues about it either.

He knew things were about to turn troublesome, with all the disturbances and Nadia and other girl in the chamber with the elders, reinforcements should be arriving soon.

They might also be searching for him.

He looked at himself, he was drenched in sweat and his espera was leaking out.

He frowned, he could not go out like this.

If he suddenly showed espera ten times greater than Nadia, the clan genius, he would directly be sent to a laboratory where a group of people in white coat would operate on him.
