It feels cramped all of a sudden.
I try to make out a way, but honestly, the information overload really makes me feel completely hopeless, like a child that can't understand no matter in which way it tries to understand a concept.
I am lost.
I don't know what's up, what's down, all I see are constantly changing colour pallets, some I don't even recognise.
I don't even know what I am looking at.
[But there seems to be a misconception in your thought process, Host.
It's not the hole, but the Host who has been passing through the 'World Barriers'.]
That's what the system said, in response to my troubles and and asking for solution.
Isn't it just trying to turn over the problem back to me like that time?
Hah...what's my intelligence stat by the way?
[Intelligence: 234]
"Whatever.. so what now, no matter how smart I become, I can't move forward with no information, right?"
That's right I realise I still don't know anything about this world, which fills me with a sense of uncertainty, something that I dislike, that is the only thing I am sure of.
[Host, there isn't much that can be done here, but since you can travel through World Barriers, there is no other way forward except moving until you chance upon some clue, at the same time, I will be deciphering the dimensions you pass through.]
Reading that I stabilize by thoughts and try to make an immediate goal that I will pursue for now.
If the World is being unreasonable than I'll just ignore it! That way I won't doubt my ownself and keep my reason at the very least.
...
That's how it turned out after all that motivation.
Walls are blocking me.
All around me I feel like an insect who got squeezed inside an egg roll, it's still movable- as in squirming helplessly in the same position.
But I can't seem to move any further, or backwards.
[Host, the force acting on you has been scanned to a sufficient degree: 35%

You can now apply the APs for creating a suitable Skill]
Skills huh, well a system has got to have a Skill Tree.
Show me
[Skill information:

1) Ability- Tempered Evolution-

original form.

2) Root Skill: Barrier Penetration.]
The Barrier Penetration...I still don't remember how I created it. As far as I am aware, it didn't take much AP for the kind of Reality breaking skill it is. Only 10 AP.
It was my first spending, I didn't even know until it was out of my balance.
[Available Primordial Aether : 1,799,983 AP]
I click on the new Option that appeared since I started spending AP- My transaction History

After some thinking in this cramped space, as if waiting for something to happen while taking a dump in a toilet.
I finally come with a suitable name:
[Skill Name: Adaptative Tendency -
Gathers samples and adapts to any situation outside the physique.
(Can go back to original physique with time) -23 AP]
At least now I don't feel so bad about doing nothing and floating on my ass.
Eventually, I'll be able to make a new skill, or find atleast a solution to get out of this situation.
...
Grab
Hahaha
I am getting my History back.
Just in time. System, open it.

That one.
Dimensional Compass. A skill I created using the corpses of Eldritch's, those parts that survived the Dimensional Phaser at least.
It's similar to their navigation ability, through which they were able to chase me time and time again, no matter what stealth skill I created.
Immediately, I feel like I can make out the way, though it is still very much all Red, I can understand it now.
After setting the Direction I walk forward looking beyond the horizon that has appeared all of a sudden, and finally I can see what has been happening all this time.
The Red screen is made up of a Power-System, a very strong one, and the essense of my Dimensional Phaser's attack-
'chop'.
It feels like I can hear that last attack from every corner of this Red Space.
This is completely nuts. Nothing should be able to stop or withstand it, except my own Primordial Physique, but this Power-System is merging with it?
It isn't just merging in the sense of copying or absorbing the Dimensional Phaser, that's impossible, it is not a Power.
But a moment, between the conversion of Primordial Aether into a real Existence. It's the process of manifesting my Proof of Existence-
Even if it's a totally broken power that can converge other Powers towards it to merge them in its system, it shouldn't be possible with Dimensional Phaser!
The possibility being so slim and chaotic, that without Tempered Evolution as my status and the History of already having a Primordial Physique, I would not even fare any better than the average Eldritch hit by it.
I am witnessing something almost as unlikely as my own First Evolution.
But it's still not a complete merger, besides, I have already made sufficient preparations, before coming here, now it's time to reap the benefits.

I must thank her for giving me so much.

A Deep Black colour emerges.
Outside
"I understand it...now, what I have to do".
The veiny grip of the mosaic effect, known as Dimensional Phaser, that the girl has come to know, envelops the last bit of her 'self', and scatters her Proof of Existence, into fragments, like tiny sand-particle sized puzzle pieces, never to be solved again.
It only took 5 seconds for the girl to come to this conclusion. And that would be all the time she would be allowed.
BOOM!
