Chapter 392: The New System (2) (1/2)
'[Also, just so you are aware, your Soul Power is not the ultimate, highest of all. There are many above it for you to explore and learn.]'
'What do you mean? What other types of energy are there? In what way are they considered 'better'? Can I obtain them in some way? What will that mean to my Primal origin?'
After such an information bomb was dropped, Enya had to suffer the relentless barrage of questions after questions from the passionate Aiden. The thought that there was an even better, stronger… more 'potent' source of power out there, strangely excited him. He wanted to grab, to obtain, to make it his own.
Even he himself was surprised by his own sudden outburst. Was he getting more and more power-hungry? He didn't know, but he was sure that the mere thought of a more 'potent' source was a very thrilling, tantalizing idea to him.
'Anyway… There's still a lot to check…' He sighed a moment later, shaking his head lightly, and shifting his attention back to the floating screen in front of him, where he quickly tabbed through the other three sub-options under the 'Main' category.
As expected, for Skills, he was greeted with a simplified, slick, new look at his available skillset. Still, it did carry a couple of surprises.

Interestingly, this page now also gave a quick list of all the available currently available forms he possessed, even listing their statuses, ranking, and their current Mastery levels.
Also, just like previously, even though the details were hidden, once Aiden focused on any of the particular skills, the text itself would slightly increase in size and the previously seen details of the current progress towards the next level would be shown.
Taking a quick look at his skills, he had to admit that he was still way too impulsive during combat and relied mostly on his Draconic skill set rather than anything else.
'Huah… I'm still too immature it seems…' Aiden sighed, selecting the third tab under the Main category, Analysis.
Just as he was about to move on, he noticed two new skills that he had never seen before, whilst one of his oldest and most important abilities was now nowhere to be found.
Still, instead of panicking, he reminded himself of the small fact that his [Dark Sense], probably his most important ability to date was ready to be upgraded to something new because of his sudden completion of the acquired Dark Essence back in the underground temple.
'Oh right… I wonder, is this 'Dark Gaze the new ability? I dunno… It sounds different… Ominous somehow.' He muttered mentally, as he focused his attention on his newest innate ability.
[Dark Gaze: The power of darkness enhances your sight, giving you the ability to see in complete and utter darkness without the use of any sources of light. As an upgraded version of [Dark Sense], it provides the same 'mapping' features as its predecessor with the added benefit of being untraceable at the lower level energy sources than it was used with. It also has the added ability to delve deeper into the souls of the detected life forms and automatically analyze some preliminary information about their strengths and weaknesses.]
As for Dark Essence, it was quite cryptic in its description, only providing a short sentence.
[Dark Essence: The power of darkness courses through your very soul, making you gradually more accustomed to it…]
'Woah… This…' Aiden was astounded, stunned as he read the description of his newest skill. If he understood the description correctly, he gained some form of inspection-type ability. He should be able to understand more information from those that he detected and what was even better, was that it should be completely invisible, unnoticeable to those using Mana, no matter how strong of a caster they were!'
Quickly, he focused some of his [Spirit Power], and like before, he sent out a pulse of energy, letting it pass by the wooden walls and explore the surrounding rooms.
Like before, in a couple of moments, he could feel a slew of information appear in his mind, slowly building up an image of all the other rooms and what their residents were up to in his surroundings.
Just as he expected, he only detected signals from two rooms. One to his left where his sister was now lying on the bed with Galina sleeping at her side. However, at the next instant, his eyes went wide as new, previously unseen information appeared over the two green dots in his minimap.
The small tooltip window frames held only a bit of information but it was already quite incredible.
