บท 13: Chapter 13: Mental Energy
Its been a few minutes since Damian began reading the book Entering Your Mental Domain. It was hard for him however as he thoughts of Savina and wondering what happened to her kept on entering his head. He persisted however and forced himself to focus. He even got an Active Skill called Focus.
[Focus]===>(An Active Skill given to the user after he tried to ingnore all distractions so he could focus on the task at hand. It allows the user to ignore Physical and Mental distractions up to a certain level. It uses mental energy at a rate of .1/min. If this energy is fully drained the users brain will shut down.)
Damian quickly read the description and wasted no time in asking the system "What is mental energy and how do I get it?"
"Host, mental energy is something that every sentient being has. You get mentally exhausted because you've depleted your mental energy. Mental energy is used in thinking, focusing, dealing with emotions, and its used in superpowers based on the mind such as telepathy. Mental Energy is slow to deplete normally, even while studying hard your mental energy can last for several hours. However when dealing with emotions, such as sadness or anger, it depletes much faster. This is the reason you feel 'emotionally drained' and want to go to sleep after experiencing them. Whenever your Mental Energy is drained you pass out until you have enough of it to function. One way to train this up is by repeatedly draining it over and over again. There are also certain training techniques that can help increase it." The system told Damian in its mechanical voice.
"If its a type of energy I have how come I can't see it in my status? Nevermind I don't have time to deal with that. System, show me how much mental energy I currently have." Damian commanded.
<Hosts current mental energy is: 7/10>
"System why has my mental energy depleted so much?" Damian asked in a slightly worried tone. He needed as much mental energy as he could get so he could save Savina.
"Host has been worried about the A.I. you named Savina. As I have stated previously, emotions drain mental energy faster than normal. By worrying about her you have drained it faster than normal, you also have been focusing hard on reading which worsened your consumption of mental energy." said the system.
When Damian heard Savina's name a pang of worry went through him, but he remembered what the system said and knew he needed to focus. So he ignored his growing worry and read the book.
30 minutes later
Damian was both frustrated and exhausted. He had thought that with [Perfect Mind] and [Focus] skills that he would be able to quickly read the book. He didn't account for the fact that he would actually have to comprehend what it says. From what he had read, the way to enter your mental world was very similar to the meditation techniques back on his Earth. You have to calm your mind and rid yourself of any distractions. One thing that was different however, was the fact that you have to utilise mental energy to into your mental world. By circulating the mental energy in a specific way inside of your mind it allows you to enter your mind. This technique requires a small but constant amount of mental energy to utilise it, around .001/sec. The reason why you have to clear your mind and free yourself from all distractions is because if your interrupted while inside of your mind it can cause a small backlash due to the small amount of mental energy going out of control.
"System what is my current mental energy?" Damian asked. He was feeling quite tired and wanted to make sure that he had enough mental energy to stay inside his mental world.
"Your current mental energy is: 2/10" the system stated.
"Lets see with a consumption of .001/sec multiply by 60 to get the amount per minute...that means .06/min divide that into 2 which is 33.33 minutes. Shit! I don't think that's enough! I also have to factor in any emotional changes I might go through in there." Damian muttered to himself "System how much time is left before the emergency quest fails."
"The quest <Preventing An Emotional Tragedy> ends in 5 hours 54 minutes and 30 seconds...29 seconds...28 seconds." The system droned,
"System stop counting down and tell me how much time I need to rest for so I can get full mental energy" Damian demanded
"Calculating...host needs approximately 3 hours of sleep to refill your mental energy. It would normally take longer but host has the skill <Perfect Mind> which speeds up the recovery."
"Alright, system set an alarm for 3 hours from now or wake me up in case there is an emergency." Damian said as he drifted off to sleep.
