Is this really a Game?!



"Of course, I can only allow you to do so, with you being a Nephilim, it will be easier for you to sense and even take some wisps of world energy in your body if I was to allow any of your friends to do so right now, I'm afraid the chances of things going wrong would be high, and their lives could very easily be in danger," Cyrus said before motioning to Reign to follow him as he made his way over to the pillar of world energy.

"All the world energy that exists on the planet flows through here, the core of the world, this is also the easiest place for one to sense world energy and get used to it, if you were to ask your friend about it, he would probably start telling you how impossible it is for the world energy of our planet to be so powerful, but alas, I cannot tell you why," Cyrus said as he shook his head while looking at Reign, seemingly passing through him and staring at Aethion who was still in shock.

He had never heard of a human becoming the will of a planet, nor did he ever think of something like that being possible. The pillar of world energy in front of Reign was another thing that shocked him as the sheer volume and power of it were far larger than what a planet like Earth was supposed to have.

"Sit here and meditate, and do your best to sense the world energy, once you're able to do so, sensing world energy outside of the core will be much easier and you will have an easier time compared to others when it comes to sensing and gathering world energy."

"Don't worry, I will of course summon your friends, as well as other talented and notable people here in the future, but only when I am certain they can safely do the same you are about to do," Cyrus explained as he walked behind Reign before sitting down and placing his hands on Reign's back.

"I'll instruct you how to sense the world energy, now close your eyes and focus on my voice and the pillar."

Reign did as instructed, closing his eyes, he did his best to sense the world energy, but he could sense nothing. Without the visual confirmation that the pillar was in front of him, his senses were simply passing through it, as if the energy didn't exist.

"Mana is a part of world energy, it is the foundation of not only the world energy but most energies in the universe, only that it is simple compared to the others, making it the easiest form of energy that most can perceive and utilize," Cyrus spoke with a calm expression as he took a wisp of world energy and brought it in front of his face.

"The reason why it is so difficult for a person to ascend is not only the fact that you need to be powerful enough, but you need to be able to sense the world energy and slowly start gathering it, thanks to the fact it is a higher form of energy compared to mana, not only is it much more powerful, but it is much more dangerous to be utilized, as well as more difficult."

"World energy is not mindless like mana that simply exists to be used, it is part of a world, it is what most things in a world are made up of, it can give life, but also take it, it is formless and sometimes seems so feeble while at other times it is as powerful as one could ever imagine it to be, as well as volatile."

"You can't simply take control of it as you can with mana, you need to slowly get accustomed to it, making it recognize you and start bonding with you, once you have done that crucial part, you will be able to sense and utilize a minuscule amount of world energy no matter what planet you find yourself in, with the end goal being a creation of a small planet inside your body that can create world energy by itself, allowing you to Transcend." 

Cyrus started pushing the wisp of world energy slowly toward Reign. The wisp was barely noticeable, but the power hidden inside of it was great, much greater than mana was.

"Make no mistake, having a world inside of you is not what it seems like, it is small, contains barely any life, and compared to a true planet, it is nothing worth talking about, but that is the crucial part of Transcending, after one becomes a Transcendent, that is what they have to focus on, developing the pseudo planet inside of them so that they can have more world energy and be able to empower their body with it."

"You're still far away from that step, for now, you need to do your best to withstand the wisp of world energy that I am about to inject into your body, I will help you with controlling the wisp so that it doesn't harm you, but it will be up to you to start familiarizing with it."

"The moment I find that things are about to go out of control, I will remove the wisp."

Reign and Aethion barely had time to comprehend what Cyrus said before the wisp was sent inside Reign's body. The immense power it contained immediately made Reign's body go through a shock as he quickly started focusing on the wisp and tried using mana to get in touch with it, as well as doing his best to contain the damage it could do.

"Mana is a part of world energy, so you can use it to cover the wisp, slowly getting familiarized with it," Cyrus said while Aethion stared in shock at what was happening.

"That mad bastard, what the hell is he doing?!" Aethion shouted inside Reign's consciousness, but his voice was unable to reach Reign as Cyrus had blocked him.

"He is still far too weak to get in touch with world energy, even if he is a Nephilim, sensing it is a different story, but forcibly injecting a wisp in his body could kill him, just what kind of madman is this guy?!"

"But it seems like it works, Cyrus is containing the wisp, making it much more docile than it would usually be like, allowing Reign to slowly get in touch with it," Jared said from the side with a calm voice as he inspected what was happening, eager to find out more.

"I know, but one small mistake and Reign can die, there is a reason why people can transcend later, it's because their evolution needs to be at a certain point in order for them to be powerful enough to contain the immense power of world energy!" Aethion said as he worriedly stared at Reign and what was happening inside his body.

The wisp contained power that was beyond what Reign expected, and it was only a wisp, a negligible amount of world energy compared to what a Transcendent could use.

"That is why Beast was so heavily injured after the Transcendent had simply used his aura to pressure him, world energy is so powerful that a little bit of it can deal immense damage to us." Reign thought as he utilized mana to slowly bond with the world energy.

'I have heard stories of those in the leveling realm that were able to defeat Transcendents, how in the world were they able to do something like that?' Reign thought for a moment before Cyrus's voice echoed inside his head.

"Because they had world energy with them, you will be able to do the same in the future, if you are on Earth, of course."

"The planet itself will help you fight back, allowing you to utilize the world energy from your surroundings and fight evenly against a Transcendent."

"Now focus, and don't worry about how much time passes, inside this space, days can pass and only minutes will pass outside, you don't have to worry about your friends." Cyrus's voice once again echoed in Reign's mind, making him relax and fully focus on dealing with the wisp.

Hours trickled as Reign's body was covered in sweat. Even though he had done his very best, he was still unable to get any response from the wisp that was now peacefully floating inside his body. It had no reaction to the mana he was sending over and was merely ignoring it.

After a couple of more hours, Cyrus suddenly took the wisp out while Reign opened his eyes and stared at him in confusion.

"Check your body." Cyrus calmly said as Reign did as he was instructed, only to be horrified upon sensing just how weak he was. His body barely had any mana left and was weakened immensely compared to before. Without him even noticing it, he was actually in his Nephilim form, he had been like that for hours now.

"I can stabilize your true form and allow you to be in it here indefinitely without you suffering any consequences, but your body can't contain the power of the wisp, which is why it utilized everything to merely survive." 

"Here, eat and rest, our little 'experiment' has proven to be a success, after spending hours with the wisp, you should be able to sense world energy now."

Just like Cyrus had said, after Reign tried sensing the world energy, he was finally able to, albeit barely, and that was while he was in front of the pillar which contained an ungodly amount of world energy.

"For now, this is the most you can do, practice by yourself outside, we will meet again once you are powerful enough to continue," Cyrus said after Reign had filled his stomach with food and water and rested enough before waving his hand and sending him away without the latter being able to even say a thing.

After doing so, Cyrus stared at one spot in the cave before it started shaking. Cracks suddenly appeared in the air as a hand suddenly emerged, breaking the air as if it was made out of glass.
