Chapter 184: The Mindscape(1) - His Reappearance (1/2)

Jake had no idea where he was.

He could only see himself floating in a completely black space. It was not what he expected. It was not the starry sky he wanted to see.

He could hear the almost inaudible voice of Kaley sounding everywhere.

'Limbo,' thought Jake.

If Kalyex's words were right, then he was in the Limbo state. That would explain the dark appearance of the state.

Jake sat on the cold floor of the black space. He was waiting for further instructions from Kaleyx.

As he listens to Kaleyx's warnings, he found himself more submerged into the black space.

The blackness was calling him to sleep, to cross over to the other side.

However, it didn't last long.

He found himself involuntarily drawn out of the black space. He was back in the sea of stars he was at before. Even having a feeling of wakefulness.

Kaleyx's voice got to him again, ”Seems like you are finding it hard to retain in the state. Try to recite the most soothing words you have ever heard, thereby, calming your mind directly.”

'Most soothing words, huh,' murmured Jake.

He understood what she meant by that. Jake had to meditate, calming his mind and body from fighting back.

Luckily, he had a superb meditation technique.

Surrendering himself to the spatial winds, Jake began, ”

One begets two.

Primordial chaos is the source of all life.

Without Order, its perpetual twin, Chaos cannot bloom.

Two begets three.

Chaos and Order are a cycle, a duality destined to eternally chasing one another, not understanding that there is always a part of themselves in the other.

Three begets four.

Chaos flows in a rhythm beyond comprehension.

But hidden deep in it is a beauty that transcends all.

Four begets five.

Primal, Origin, Chaos, Order, and You.”

The moment he said those words, they began ringing in the background. It possessed a melody that far surpassed any he had heard before.

It was the same mantra he always recited. Yet, he couldn't get over it.

Quickly, Jake found himself back in the fully black space.

With the chant ringing in his ear, he felt more comfortable than before.

He listened to Kaleyx's voice, ”It worked. Okay, I'm going to release the Dream Bloom. It releases a unique fragrance that can only be sensed by one's sixth sense, contrary to people's beliefs. The sixth sense ability comes from the mind. Hence, since you are in your body, you should be able to see the sense in action.”

Jake was about to turn around when he heard Kaleyx's last words, ”It should be in form of a trail, follow the trail and it will lead you to where you want.”

Immediately, Jake focused on his surrounding.

Everywhere was black, drowning any visual observation.

'Hmm…,' Jake saw something.

At first, he thought it was a blinking light, but later, he realized that was not the case.

It was a tiny pink dot that expanded into a thread that danced around.

No time to waste, Jake quickly followed the wispy thread

He had no idea of how much time he spent chasing the pink thread, but he saw hope eventually.
