seamlessly diving into Ryo's preparations, stat upgrades, skill unlocks, and the first experimental use of his new power as they prepare to
Back in his quarters, Ryo sat cross-legged in the center of a glowing sigil circle—an ancient Uchiha meditation ritual fused with Ophis's void teachings. The events of the last 24 hours lingered heavily in his mind, but now was the time to prepare.
He opened his system interface with a thought.

Ryo grinned. "That's new."
To test it, he marked a tree across the training yard, focused on the space around it—and vanished in a swirl of flickering dark light.
He reappeared with a quiet snap, crouched beside the tree trunk. A single scorch mark remained where he had once sat.
He grinned, vanishing again—reappearing midair above his previous position and flipping into a clean landing.
"Smooth," he muttered, activating his Sharingan to test how it interacted with Void Blink.
Sharingan Activation… Complete.
Void energy detected. Eye mutation in progress.
Temporary Boost: Perception Enhancement x2
New Visual Layer: Energy Threadlines
The world around him shifted. He could now see the flow of chakra and energy rippling through trees, buildings—even faint remnants of the Archon's dimensional trace, pulsing like scars in the air.
"This… changes everything."
Just then, a system notification chimed:
Quest Update: "The Abyss Stirs"
Ryo has prepared for the journey to Kyoto.
Void Trace Detected: 73 km outside Kyoto, buried beneath Mt. Kurama.

Ryo closed the interface, mind buzzing with anticipation.
Departure Plans
The next morning, Ryo met Sona, Ophis, and Issei at the teleportation altar on the academy grounds. Issei noticed a different energy in Ryo—calmer, heavier, and more refined.
"Whoa. You level up again or something?" Issei asked.
Ryo smirked, pulling his cloak tight. "Let's just say I'm not the same person who taught you to throw punches."
Ophis stood beside him, silent but visibly intrigued by his new aura.
Sona raised a brow. "You look like someone who's seen too much."
"I've only just started looking," Ryo said, stepping into the portal field. "Let's go find out what's hiding in the shadows of Kyoto."
As the portal activated and swallowed them whole, Ryo's new eyes flickered, scanning the flow of dimensional energy around them.
The next chapter had begun—not just in their battle against the Void...
But in the evolution of everything they thought they knew about power, reality, and destiny itself.
