UNLIMITED SPEED

Noah found himself floating in a familiar dark environment.

"Am I dead?," Noah wondered, then he realized that he didn't have his body, only his consciousness.

Sadness surged in his mind at that point, regret for his rash actions raged in his consciousness.

"Am I going to get reincarnated again," Noah thought, "I barely spent three months in Creagar," He added.

"It seems I was destined to not live long in any life," he sighed.

"I wish I could pay those damned royals for their actions. But this the reward for my actions. I brought this upon myself."

Noah felt himself float in that familiar darkness for what felt like hours then eventually days, Noah beginning to lose hope in returning. But a change suddenly happened.

[ADVANCEMENT PROCESS COMPLETE]

[Integrating users body and mind]

[Five seconds till complete integration]

A automated voice boomed in Noah's environment, shock washing over his existence.

Before he could react in any way, a bright white light slammed into his senses, Noah felt his consciousness speed through different environment until he stopped.

Snapping his eyes open, Noah sat up while he frantically inspected his body using his hands, a wave of shock and joy spreading in his mind.

Before he could rejoice further, mulitiple system panels appeared in his eyes. It took him a few seconds to sort through them.

Noah stared at the messages for a few minutes, his mind feeling numb, he understood only a small portion of the messages.

He hadn't felt the new changes the system is talked about, but most especially.

'I can't use Mana, and I have a new elemental affinity!'. Noah screamed in his mind.

Quickly standing up, Noah suddenly felt an immense feeling of strength like he had never felt. His eyes widened in surprise at that sensation.

Opening his palm and closing it, Noah saw sparks flicker from that simple action.

Throwing a punch at the space in front of him, Noah watched, as ripples spread through the air. The force contained in his casual punch demsolising tens of trees, even the ground gave way for that power.

Excitement ravaged his mind at that sight, but then he noticed something else.

His consciousness instantly expanded, Noah finding to his surprise that he could cover a radius of around a kilometer.

Every nook and cranny of that space, he saw, and his mind didn't get stressed from that influx of information.

Noah also noticed that his thoughts had reached new levels of speed.

Marvelling at his new level of strength, Noah was about to explore more when a green panel appeared.

[You now have access to your Soul core realm]

Mild confusion spread in his mind, but he didn't let it get the best of him, after all he knew that tier 3 brought new things.

Thinking of going to the soul realm the system talked about, Noah suddenly felt his consciousness get pulled into his body.

Noah opened his eyes, or rather mental eyes inside a white, almost empty space, vast in size.

At the center of this white environment was what looked like a small island. His mental body or soul, floated towards this island instinctively.

Stepping on the small island, Noah felt a sharp pain that disappeared as fast as it came, then he opened his eyes in seemingly another environment.

A wide space of around one kilometer entered his sight, in the middle of this space was a spinning black object, the size of a man's head.

Multicolored lights swirled around this black object but Noah's focus had been snatched from it, his eyes on a massive box that floated above the core.

The box's size stretched for far more than the island itself. Noah even wondered how he had not noticed it earlier, that thing was immense.

After gazing at the white box for a while, Noah confirmed something, 'I don't know anything,' he thought.

Walking closer to the core, Noah suddenly saw a wisp of red light depart from the core and touch him.

Memories suddenly surged in Noah's head. He saw flashes of moments he remembered to be from his time on earth.

Opening his eyes in real life, Noah realized that had been standing, and only around a second had passed.

'Is that my memory box or something,' Noah thought reviewing the memories he had almost forgotten, a feeling of nostalgia filling his mind.

[[That is your soul core]]

A panel suddenly appeared in Noah's eyes.

[[It's the core that holds all your spells and memories. The bigger it is the powerful spells your spells are, and the powerful your mind becomes]]

More words flashed in his eyes. 'What about the white box?,' Noah asked the system or so.

[[ME]]

Noah stared at this word when it finally dawned on him. The system had become sentient!.

'Wait am i talking to you for real?,' Noah asked taking a step back mentally.

[[Yes you are Noah]]

[[Unfortunately you can't hear my voice since you don't have access to that function yet]]

Noah blinked multiple times, this time he truly became excited. 'Deos that mean you can answer all my questions,' Noah asked.

[[Yes, but only those that you have access to]]

A wide grin appeared on Noah's face after those words, 'Then why didn't you help me stop the effects of the drink,' Noah asked with a chilling expression.

No answer came for a few seconds, Noah not knowing what to do, he was about to say or rather think something when another panel flashed.

[[You misunderstood Noah. I don't detoxify anything, I was only made to simplify your rise to power. Your body deals with the detoxification, I only Inform you about the process]] The system explained.

Noah could only get silent at that point.

[[But I can bestow upon you abilities]] The system added.

'I don't totally understand,' Noah said.

[[You don't have to. Just understand that, that is my general function]] the system wrote.

A few seconds passed, Noah not saying anything to the system.

'So does this mean you will continue to read my mind,' Noah asked.

[[Yes. But you can turn off this function anytime]]

[Do you want to turn off the sentient part for the system]

[Yes/No]

'I'll pass,' Noah shook his head, 'For now,' he added.

'Currently I need you to explain this new state of mine. And every new thing i can do with my new tier,' Noah said sitting in a cross legged position.

[[Where do I start]]

'Anywhere you see fit,' Noah replied.

[[I advise you to leave this area before I start. It might take a while]]

'Oh....Okay,' Noah replied standing up.

Sweeping his gaze on his environment, he chose a random direction to go.

Taking a deep breath, Noah activated the speed forces effect, but something different happened.

Rather than his body simply emitting energy, he felt an object spin in his stomach, energy rushing up his body as his blue eyes blazed with a yellow light.

His skin seemed to harden, as his hair now white in color gained a yellow hue to it. His now hardened skin eventually began to emitt yellow sparks.

Noah felt this same energy move into his soul core, the object spinning intensely, while yellow sparks flickering madly on its surface, as Noah's environment practically stopped moving.

Forming a fist, Noah watched as electricity poured out of his fist. He seemed to have become a powerful mass of energy.

[[Take a step forward]] the system advised.

Doing as he was told, Noah Instantly vanished from his position.

The wind tried to move in a powerful explosion, but the bracelets effects on Noah didn't allow that. Silence reigning instead.

All that could be seen of Noah was a rapidly moving streak, yellow in colour.
