After the intense light subsided, Tess opened his eyes slowly his vision returned and he can see his sroundings, he was in place full of grey Fogg, he looked around to see if there is anything other than this fogg, unfortunately he only saw Fogg so vast it obscured everything.
Tess's breath hitched and his heart started to beat fast, he can hear his own heart beat, Tess tried to move ,he stepped forward his foot hit water under his feet,that's when he noticed there is body of water underneath him , although the water level is low, reaching his ankles , the water was pich black and also tranquil.
Tess looked above him ,he noticed that there was something there looming a place above him,he can't tell it's shape, but it was as large as two story building.
'where in the world is this .....is this the after life or something ' Tess though 'this place is too other worldly for it to be real... aren't I supposed to be in the first tribulation, is not like i know everything about them , but I would have heard it if there is something like thi....)
His thoughts was intrubted by the feeling that something shift deep inside his body, his body suddenly started heating up slowly, while Tess was trying to figure out what is going on, sudden voice of an old man rang through in the fogg ,the voice has a dignified tone ,and full of wisdom like some great sage ,the voice was coming every were like the whole space was talking.
[ Starting the awakening process]
[ Initiating Body purification ]
Tess's body was hot his temperature was rising, his blood pressure also rised as well, he felt euphoric,his body was relieved of the tiredness from his training earlier ,and became light, his mind cleared from his earlier stress.
while tess was experiencing those feelings, something guey and black was released from his skin ,covering his whole body, he tried to take a look at the black substance that seaping out from his skin , his nose suddenly become numb ,he was assaulted by a horrible smell.
"Augh...what the hell"Tess shouted while trying to hold his breath so he will not smell it "does this come out of my body.." .
the moment all of his impurities were expelled,the black substance covering his body started to shine and turn into particles of light despersing in to the fogg, the voice resounded once again.
[ Body purifying complete]
[ Starting mana core formation ]
Tess was traying to pin point where the voice is coming, while he was doing that ,he saw blue and black energy coming from the water beneath him and enter his body, the energy felt warm and southing,the blue and black energy was going directly into his chest ,after it entered it started rotating and forming ball of rotating energy, the rotation speed increased more and more ,the southing feeling increased as well .
After one minute the blue and black energy stoped entering Tess's body ,the rotating energy in his chest rippled violently cousing Tess to yelp in pain ,the pain was intense and fly like his whole being is been torn apart ,the energy rotated and rippled repeatedly before splitting into two spheres ,one blue and radiance ,othe black and violent, the blue and radient energy shifted into the lower abdomen and condensed in to blue, elegent ball of raw energy, the black and violent energy also shifted and settled in the center of the chest , condensing into pich black ball of energy, that pulsing with raw power.
The sound of the old man tore through the fogg once again ,the voice was dignified and one full of wisdom.
[ Anomaly detected ....]
[Due to your mixed race , two innate energies cannot co exist in a single core]
[ Creating two separate cores ]
[ Dual core creation complete ]
Tess was bewildered, "mixed race" he muttered what race wasn't he a human , he was sure that he was a perfect human , both his parents were humans , not mixed .
"Let's not rush here ,may be the system is wrong ....maybe" he said traying to ease his anxiety and confution "hey old man stop playing and tell me whats going on ....why am I mixed raced, which races I am mixed of " Tess voiced out loud .
No answer.
Tess sighed and said. "At least awaken my innate ability, so I can get the hell out of here ,this place is too eerie, and nauseating" Tess's trought tightened ,and his face flushed ,his anger was bubbling, having the urge to tear down the whole space ,skin the old man like a fish....if he is real and has body.
he felt rage .
Tess always had an anger issues,in the past he always got angry at something so trivial, something small ,but the one he is feeling right now it is too much ,Tess tried to calm down by biting his tongue ,the pain eased his anger, he always used this method .and some times he obeyed his anger impulses and ended up in a fight , after couple of seconds tess come to his senses,at the same moment he heard the dignified old man's voice again.
[ Innate ability awakening ]
[ Innate ability: Black genesis ]
[ First seal broken ]
[ Awakening inherited ability ]
[ Inherited ability: Wrath ]
Tess was listening to the dignified old man's voice, not surprised anymore, he thought about inherited abilities,they aren't uncommon there are abilities people inherited their parents or ancestors, or some rare cases ,their great ancestors.
'Black genesis ' Tess though 'but why is it sound like ominous.....I don't care about that if it's powerfull , the strong decides what's wrong and right anyway'
As Tess was pondering this, the fogg suddenly moved , swirling around him , the whole space shifted ,tess was confused what was happening, braced for the worst .
"Does the system have grudge against me, what hell , one second it transported me into this earie place , another was inflicting me with sudden pain,it make me doubt my origin ,and now the whole place is shifting....hey old man are you mistaking me for some one else" Tess shouted at the top of his lungs.
The grey fogg swirled violently and suddenly dispersed ,vanishing completely, as soon as the fogg disappeared.tess felt cold wind hitting his body ,he was standing cold marble stone floor ,he looked at his sroundings, rubles of marbles was srounding him all the directions and above him as well ,the rubles was so pig each one as big as udult elephant ,there was place a person could stand in the middle that was where Tess was standing.
The world was dark so it was night time
"so the real tribulation begins huh" tess said "what's this ruined place and I am surrounded ,I have to push these to get out ... Aren't I blessed with bad luck,..what a great blessing that is" he said bitterly clicking his tongue
