บท 5: Accessing the Information Dimension

Few days had already passed since Tatsuya had woken up from his deep sleep. Although, he wanted to make some moves and try to gather some information about the place where he currently resides in. He deemed it dangerous to do so, after all thinking about it, this whole place is controlled by Xia Hongyi. And, he was only an outsider that would only receive stares and silent reply even if he asked something from others (clansmen of the Xia Clan).

"Getting back my emotions is a good yet bad thing for me, huh."

Tatsuya mumbled to himself, as he sat on the chair positioned beside the opened window within the room the Xia Clan allowed him to use. He had always made contact with Xia Yuanba, and noticed the decrease of his distinctive sensitivity.

In the past, his emotional sensitivity was rendered useless because he didn't possessed any emotions that would affect his distinctive sensitivity, in which he uses to categorize people into hostile and non-hostile groups. He noticed that his emotions would affect some of his thought in an indirect way, that normal humans that hadn't experienced being literally emotionless before wouldn't notice.

Although, he was kinda relieved that having emotions somehow suppressed his despair and grief over his loss for Miyuki, he was kinda bothered by the fact that his brain now works in a peculiar way. In which he needed to be more familiar and adept.

That's why he used this past few days getting quite adept in using his now emotion-full brain. Upon noticing that his superior analytical capabilities didn't got affected in some way, he felt a flow of relief tread across his body.

"Still, just doing nothing about my current situations is bad."

He continued his whisper to himself, as he pondered over the fact of, whether he should use his innate ability, Elemental Sight, to access the Information Dimension. Information Dimension is the place where every single piece of information about the world resides in, including data about objects and living beings.

However, using Elemental Sight carries some risks with it. There's the risk that someone might detect him accessing the Information Dimension and that would be really dangerous in its own right. After all, if someone managed to learn that he's kind of omniscient, they would be at frenzy of capturing him for their own use.

(Sigh, at the moment, if I used my Elemental Sight, it would be different because I can now use its full capacity to access the Information Dimension. Unlike in the past, whereas I spend more or less 50% of my capacity in Elemental Sight for Miyuki…)

(But considering the current situation, using the Elemental Sight is better compared to not doing a single thing. Then, I shall do it, give and take, eh.)

Tatsuya reluctantly agreed to his own decision of deploying one of his innate abilities, Elemental Sight. He knew that staying motionless and doing nonsense stuff within the house would be more dangerous.

(Elemental Sight, Activate.)

Tatsuya's innate ability, Elemental Sight, activated per his orders. His physical body stayed motionless, as it stayed within the chair. If someone were to saw him now, they would think that Tatsuya is daydreaming about something.

His ethereal state, and could be said soul disengaged from his body. From his eyes, the whole world turned into numbers and letters which meant different information that specifies different being. He used his soul-state and gazed upon those information.

(Gah!)

A sound of pain leaked out of his soul-state, as those information forcefully entered his mind. It was always like this when he uses Elemental Sight for general-uses. He forcefully endured the pain, as his soul-state gritted its teeth.

(Profound Energy. Profound Veins. Cultivators. Cultivation Ranks-)

Different information gradually carved itself to his mind, while he endured the pain that he was constantly receiving due to the large amount of information entering his brain. Thankfully, his brain was more than capable enough to embrace those informations.

More than half-a-day had passed, and Tatsuya's soul-state finally received the last bit of pain. The informations finally stopped entering his mind, as he felt exhaustion coming from the depth of his soul occupy his body.

(Thankfully, no one seemed to have detected myself accessing the Information Dimension…)

Tatsuya said while in his soul-state. His voice was only heard by himself since he's within the Information Dimension. A flash of relief crossed his eyes, as he decided to cut off his link to the Information Dimension.

(Elemental Sight, Deactivate.)

The ethereal form of Tatsuya converged with his physical body once again. His unmoving fingers moved slightly, confirming that he was back in the reality. He heaved a deep sigh of surprise and shock, as he recalled the information he had received.

(I can't believe that I got thrown into some-kind of unknown place where even a Magician like me would be shocked. Although, my emotions are partly to blame, most of the blame could be pinned into this world's ungodly power balance.)

(People could actually fly without the aid of devices? Whereas in my world, people had spent centuries trying to figure out the mechanisms behind flight.)

(Furthermore, an energy that could endlessly strengthen someone just based on that someone's talent? This is just… kind of unfair. I experienced experimentation to get my 'augmented body' but its only as strong as maybe the lowest cultivation stage? Sigh…)

(Troubles really like me, huh. It's now forcing me to create another innate ability. Last time, I was only lucky to have seen Brionac in its active state so I was able to create Baryon Lance. But now, I need to reverse my fate and somehow modify my genome.)

Tatsuya again, heaved a sigh of not-relief. It seemed that even before he began exploring this world of fantasy and legends, he had already started to complain. However, no one could really blame him, because they don't know his thoughts and origin either.

(Thankfully, I had already thought of 'genome modification' in the past. I only need to investigate the profound veins in detail and maybe get an inspiration. Even acquiring the most normal profound veins, I would be thankful.)

(But, fate seemed to have assigned me in this place. Xia Yuanba and Xia Qingyue, what an interesting pair-of-siblings.)

He slowly stood up from his chair, as he decided to walk up to his door. Excitement flashed across his eyes, as he found the 'experimentation' a bit exciting. In an instant, Tatsuya had already reached into a conclusion. And that was, investigating the two individuals profound veins, and maybe he would get enough information to advance a single step or maybe leap from the beginning and immediately acquire the veins.

Accessing the Eidos of those two, would let him view their genetic structure in an instant, and would let him investigate it in detail. Profound veins are a must for Tatsuya to survive within this world. After all, it's the catalyst for him to absorb the profound energy and hopefully convert his source-energy from psions to profound energy.

Although, he still doesn't have a clear goal within his mind. Tatsuya's current utmost priority is to survive within this world. After all the trouble he had gone and experienced, and finally getting out of the leash. Tatsuya doesn't want any single bit of it to go to waste, as he decided to at least enjoy his mundane life within this world.

(Miyuki, guide me and help me accomplish my initial goal…)

Tatsuya wished to himself, as he touched his chest feeling his heart beat. Although, Miyuki had already vanished from existence, her memories and feelings for Tatsuya will forever reside within him…
