Chapter 1768 Chapter 1768. Peace

Jack couldn't tell how long he had been in this void. The pain came and went. It was unbearable when it came. But when it was absent, a different kind of torment replaced it. Emptiness. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Jack could no longer see the black mirror, the void, or even himself. He had lost his vision. Not only that, he lost all his senses. He couldn't hear, smell, taste, or even feel any touch. It was as if he had lost his physical being. All that was left was his consciousness.

He panicked at first. Because without a physical self, there was nothing he could do but think. What good was a thought if he couldn't transform it into action? It's no different from a dream that never realized. So, he just floated in this sea of nothingness for seemingly forever. He couldn't gauge any sense of time here. He even wondered if he had died a permanent death. Was this what happened when one died? Nothingness?

The thought unsettled him. He wouldn't be able to stand such an existence for eternity. If there was nothing after death, shouldn't his consciousness be gone as well? Why did he still have this sense of self and the thought that tormented him?

His series of thoughts were disrupted by the occasional pain that tore his very essence. This cycle of pain and emptiness gave him a certainty that he was not yet dead.

He tried to piece together what had happened before he came to this place. He remembered there was a war. What the war was about, he couldn't remember. His memory was hazy. He also remembered a pair of dark eyes filled with malice. He couldn't tell who possessed those eyes. He had a feeling those eyes were the one responsible for his current state.

He took a deep breath to calm himself, before realizing he did not need to breathe. He possessed no body here. All that was left was his mind.

"A new world...? A game world? World Maker? Master? John? Jeanny? Everlasting Heavenly Legends? Paytowin? Grace...?"

The memories seemed to come at a breakneck pace. He couldn't make sense of them at first. It was like watching a fast-forward recording. The memories started to connect, making more sense. The sensation of what he was experiencing came to him then.

It was mana. This sensation was the same as when he did the training in the attempt to fuse with mana. During the past training, he never truly fused with mana. They came as close as possible but then scattered as if shy animals. This time, it was different. He sensed that they were already one with him.

During the moment where he lost himself, he became empty enough to not drive the mana away with his convoluted thoughts. He was as if an empty cup, ready to be filled. The mana filled themselves into him.

He couldn't describe the sensation he was currently experiencing. He felt complete. There was nothing to be worried about. Everything would be fine. He had never felt more peaceful than what he was feeling now.

This peace was Mana's message to him. They didn't communicate with a language but with sensations. This sense of peace was like the sensation a mother gave when she was cradling her child. A feeling of safety and comfort that nothing in this world could hurt him.

He opened his eyes then and saw the faces of his friends staring back at him with wide eyes.
