Chapter 218: The Waves (1/2)
It felt like teleportation; The trip back to his mindscape.
Having been teleported before, Jake recognized the feeling of losing his balance.
His mental mind slurred as he got catapulted to his mind. Everything became black as his body fell on his bed.
The man was born in darkness. Man shall live in darkness.
It was a phrase that depicted the world of darkness as the natural home of mankind
Granted, Jake wasn't human, but he was still a living being.
Beneath the natural instinct to fear the world of darkness was the warm feeling one gets from it.
Jake was all alone there. He could see nothing. He could feel nothing except the dark.
No thoughts. No disturbance. No complications. No light!
It was just him breathing….
He had no idea whether he was walking or flying. It felt like walking but he couldn't feel any sense of balance…...a sort of gliding.
It shouldn't be like this.
It shouldn't be this easy….this smooth...this alluring.
'No!'
His first complicated thought broke him out of his deep sleep.
It drew him out from the sea of darkness that desired to submerge him.
'I need to g--go now….' His thoughts were garbled.
However, following his thoughts, Jake found his body thrown up by a mystical force.
The movement was so brutal that Jake instantly blacked out.
By the time his eyes opened back, he was in a grey world, boasting of more light than the previously dark world.
'Another level of unconsciousness?' thought Jake.
He looked around and ascertained he was truly on another level.
However, he didn't like this.
'Not this one...'
With one thought, he was instantly transported to a deeper level.
This time, he found himself in a much brighter world.
The scorching of the light particles caused him to instantly transport himself away from the level.
'Not this one, next..'
'Next'
'Next..'
'Next..'
'What a sad life? Next…..'
He had already lost count of the number of levels he had crossed.
However, the good thing was that his intelligence was coming back to him.
With that in-store, he figured out something about the different levels; they were randomly arranged!
The first level he visited was completely dark. The second was grey. The third was bright.
Yet, astonishingly, the fourth was a grim world, one that rightfully hated light.
If an over-thinker was to analyze everything, they would overheat.
However, Jake didn't panic at this abnormality.
This was because he knew he was in control of this mind dive. He wasn't the initiator.
It was the potions that Kaleyx prepared that made him able to access his mind.
Nonetheless, he had to make sure everything was worth it.
That was why he forced himself into the deepest level of unconsciousness.
It was a familiar level, the one that automatically put him in the [Limbo State].
However, contrary to what he had thought before, the level wasn't dark.
It was safe to say it was colourless. Maybe that was why he assumed it was dark. His perception deceived him, but it wasn't a big issue.
He looked around the colourless world for something.
What he could see were two white doors, one smaller than the other.
Seeing this, Jake sighed. This meant he was in the right place and on the right track.
Going by Kaleyx's words, one of these doors should lead to his mindscape, while the other should be the spiritual entrance of the cord.
'Hmmm….the smaller one?'
It was a guess but Jake was willing to bet on it. It wouldn't make sense if the artificial door was the larger one.
Jake moved to the door and attempted to touch it.
Yet, seemingly after he moved, the door shined in annoyingly bright light. Jake had to block his eyes to protect himself.
He placed his hands on the door but didn't predict what happened next.
As soon as Jake touched the door, he got sucked in a dramatic manner.
It was then he understood that the door was just a portal and not really something he should be placing his hands on.
However, the deed had been done and it wasn't like he would not have done it anyway.
The entire ordeal lasted for a long time….at least to Jake.
