Chapter 49: Officially an Editor
Chapter 49: Officially an Editor
He didn't know exactly what he was to do with it so he did the next best thing. He commanded it to flow through his body.
[Sir, it is yet to become yours to command... Like water, you do not command it but you can create a path for it to flow through]
"Okay" David replied fighting back the sacarstic reply, his head had come up with.
Following Nous's instruction, he simply performed the motions while constantly poking... Nodging or luring it towards where he wanted.
"it's not working" David said frustrated after almost an hour of trying.
[Don't force it.. Simply guide it towards where you want it to flow] Nous replied
"What do you think I'm doing?"
[Forcing it to move... It Is not yet yours to control as you like so you can't judge it in the direction you want... Simply create a path it should follow and it will]
"If you say so" David replied before he began again.
Starting from the beginning, he started his training again but this time he he didn't bother with trying to force the energy into his body. He simply focused on the training itself.
Nous already said it was sort of a cultivation technique. Cultivation techniques were meant to be guide to follow when cultivating. They tell you what path or pattern to follow to achieve certain levels of power.
He didn't know how he forgot about that but it seemed like Nous already prepared a path forward for him but he was too dumb to notice it.
Continuing his dance, David sensed some movement in him as a small smile appeared in his face. The excitement alone kept him moving as strength came from nowhere and he continued.
In doing so, he sensed his life force or some version of it slowly begin to move through his body. It was invigorating, it wasnt something he could explain but he felt more alive than
ever.
"Is this what tier one feels like" David asked when he felt the increddible power within his body
[Sir, you are not yet done, focus] Nous reminded him.
"Oh thats true" David replied as he focused on his training.
As he moved, he felt the new energy within him follow. It was truly as Nous had said, he didn't need to command it, it would follow him automatically just like water would when you create a clear path for it.
The energy followed his every move, enhancing it beyond measure. Pushing all his focus into the feeling he had as the energy moved thorough his body, David felt a transcendent amount of peace.
It was as though he and the environment around him were one. It felt surreal but David refused to be distracted as he continued his training.
His movements continued and changed the more he went on until he looked a bit more like some ethereal being. He could feel the earth beneath his feet to a greater degree and the air that passed by him in greater degree than ever.
Despite all these wonderful effects, he could feel. David knew the job was yet to be done, He had yet to officially enter tier one.
His movements quickened and continued with even more strength and power. He felt the energy flowing wthin him slowly begin to increase as his body grew even stronger however at the same time, he also felt his strength adapt to the energy input into him.
Various seconds later, David's skin slowly turned red and his body became bulky almost as though he was about to explode however the man himself, couldnt feel any of this instead he concentrated on the power within him.
Despite what Nous had said, he felt that at the moment, his duty was to restrain the energy within him to the best of his ability and that was what he did.
Minutes later, a bright pillar of light burst out of his body as he felt his body undergo a transformation like no other. He felt his muscles tighten and his heart beat faster. [Congratulations sir, you are now officially a tier one being] Nous said in a cheerful tone.
David however, was still lost in the transformation he had just undergone. It wasnt just a physical change, he felt that he was fundamentally different from before, he couldnt explain it but it was how he felt.
"Why does it feel like i became some sort of god or something?" David asked as he looked at his hands
[Each tier brings about an overall evolution that brings the person beyond what they previously were]
"Does that mean at the moment, i am already beyond the human race?" David asked trying his best to wrap his head around what had just occured.
[Yes and also, congratulations on offically becoming a true Editor... the universe rejoices at your presence] Nous said in a tone that almost seems as though he was worshipping him
"Why do you sound like that?" David asked surprised by its tone
[The Editor is a cosmic title that surpasses all...]
"Stop, I feel like you'll start some sort of lecture on what type of being the Editor is" David said cutting the Artifical intelligence off
David didn't understand much about the Editor apart from all Nous had said. However it now seemed as though he would only officially recognized as an Editor after reaching tier one.
Thinking about such a condition, it made sense after all Editors were very important beings. Their duty was still unknown but Nous and the administrator had made it out to be important. After some time, David focused his attention on his changes. It wasn't just a physical change as he had said... It was way more than that
The energy within seemed to be more under his control now and unlike what he expected, his life force was still separate.
It was almost as though the energy he had drawn during his training was different from what
he had now.
...
While David explored the difference between the previous him and now, observatories all over the world, recorded a new anomaly.
