Bab 3: 0003 Chapter 3 - Awakening
Jasper awoke in a state of disorientation, his new Nyz form feeling like a dissonant blend of alien sensations and abstract consciousness. The cave's darkness was no longer a mere absence of light but a suffocating void of incomprehensible depth. Panic surged through him, though his perception of it was now distant, as if watching from a remove. The sheer strangeness of his existence in this Nyz form struck him with overwhelming force.
Warning: Energy Reserves Critical
The system's announcement cut through his panic with chilling precision. Jasper's sense of self was suddenly bombarded with a sense of urgency. His new existence as a Nyz was precarious, and his energy reserves were critically low.
Current Energy Reserves: 13 Hours, 13 Minutes, 13 Seconds
Jasper tried to grasp the concept of time as it applied to his new reality. His human mind struggled to reconcile with this new metric of existence. "How can I increase my energy?" he thought, though he was aware that his thoughts had become more like abstract impulses than coherent queries.
Options Available:
Locate a Natural Energy Source: Eldritch beings like yourself might already be utilizing such sources. Attempting to access it may result in a hostile confrontation, as others will defend their resources with lethal intent.
Generate Energy from Human Emotions: This process requires large-scale emotional energy, which is not feasible given your current state. Attempting this on a smaller scale would be inefficient and perilous.
The system's response was stark. Jasper's mind raced. He could almost feel the immense pressure of other eldritch entities potentially lurking in the dark corners of this reality. His survival depended on finding a viable source of energy quickly.
Warning: Unusual Energy Spike Detected Nearby
Jasper's attention snapped to the new alert. An energy spike had occurred close by. It might be his only chance for survival. He could sense the urgency and seized on the hint, focusing on locating the source.
He practiced his newfound ability to traverse dimensions, an unsettling process that twisted and contorted the fabric of his existence. As he attempted to move through the dark expanse of the dimension, he found himself enveloped in a stygian abyss where visibility was almost nonexistent.
The system's prompt brought him back to the present: Energy Spike Proximity: Close.
Jasper decided to traverse through the dimensions to reach his destination more efficiently. He maneuvered through the darkness, feeling the oppressive weight of the void pressing against him. The sense of being watched grew stronger, an almost palpable awareness that sent shivers through his being.
Suddenly, he felt a menacing presence—something massive and hungry. In a desperate bid for survival, Jasper pulled himself out of the dimension just as an enormous eldritch maw snapped shut behind him, narrowly avoiding being consumed.
He emerged on the other side, finding himself on a rocky terrain that bordered a rushing river. Across the water, a sprawling cityscape came into view—a stark contrast to the bleakness of the wilderness. Towering skyscrapers and fortified walls surrounded a glowing metropolis of sleek, cyber-style architecture.
Warning: Energy Reserves: 9 Hours, 10 Minutes Remaining
The drop in his energy reserves was alarming. Jasper had thought that not much time had passed, but traversing dimensions had evidently consumed more energy than anticipated. The cyber-city was his immediate focus. He needed to find the source of the energy spike before his reserves were depleted completely.
Jasper rushed toward the river, floating over the river. He though "Well that sure it something, I guess I am Jesus now." As he got closer to the city the shadows absorbed his body concealing it from view. The sight of the sleek skyscrapers and illuminated walls offered a strange contrast to the dark, eldritch realm he had just traversed.
As he crossed the river on a narrow, makeshift bridge of stone, he contemplated how to navigate the city. His new form allowed him to sense the ebb and flow of energy, and he hoped that the city's advanced technology might harbor a substantial energy source.
With a renewed sense of determination, Jasper ventured into the city. The streets were lined with neon lights and bustling with activity—an odd mixture of organic and mechanical life. The people moved quickly, their lives seemingly intertwined with the very energy Jasper sought.
As he entered the city's outer zone, he "sensed" the energy spike intensifying. It wasn't long before he found himself standing before a towering skyscraper, its spire pulsing with a strange, vibrant energy that seemed to resonate with his own depleted reserves.
