This was late at night. Solace was training in the park, Because of his blindness his training also had to change instead of going for Sword techniques. He decided it was better to just learn the foot work.
He was also doing this near the lake because whenever water was present in his surrounding he would get an immense headache just from sensing numerous outlines at once.
It also happened when his surroundings had loud noise or Echo's. He felt like he needed to train his sense a bit more before the exams.
While training, he noticed an outline weakly walking at the edge of his senses. The outline looked downwards. As if it was tired or exhausted, for a second the outline stopped as if observing him, later it moved and started walking away.
After spending some more time in the park, he decided to call it a day.
While On his way back, He thought of his life in this world.
Looking back at his adventures in this world, He was feeling a bit up. He never would have imagined in his previous life that he would feel this satisfied one day.
'I mean.... I am blind. But who cares'
In this Life, He had Loving Parents, who were financially stable. Two loving siblings and most of all, He had friends.
In his previous life, Solace had been a loner. He never had good friends that he could hang out with.
At one point, He also got bullied, But he never let that decide his future. And one day, after having enough, he beat that bully to the deaths' door. That's why because of his bad past. He had a hard time getting an internship. But guess what, His world ended before he could even attend his first day of work.
Remembering those memories, He suddenly noticed something.
He had changed. He remembered that Ever since waking up in the body of Solace. His previous life had felt like a dream. His life as Alexander Quill felt like a distant dream. Alexander was never such a calm person, Rather he would always make rash choices, he was a person that would curse a lot. He was a person that tended to use violence if needed. Comparing to the Solace, He was today. He was drastically different.
He was empathetic, was overly kind and was way too calm.
'Am I different?' He thought
As someone said that, it's hard to find change within yourself. But thinking about it, He definitely felt something was weird.
Solace thought about it for a while. Thinking, was he really different?. He tried remembering if there was something wrong with him after waking up as Solace. But he could not find a single thing or accident happened to him. Other than Aeons attack.
He remembered how devastating Aeons attack was, he was basically dead if not for the ring on his finger. It was an attack on his soul. The ring of Cassia protected him and kept him just above the threshold of death.
Suddenly something came to his mind like he found a piece of a puzzle.
'Is it... Is it related to my soul? The description of my ability did say that my soul is one third of its original size. What does this mean?
I also remember the pull I felt from the seal. We also ended up stranded in Ishtara because of me. As if something pulled me towards it.
Am in some evil god's scheme. Like it usually happens in novels.
I remember reading a novel when an ancient outer god makes himself a vessel by transmigrating a young Chinese dude.
OMG, Don't tell me I am a vessel'
Before he could continue his thought. He arrived in front of his dorm.
He yawned and said to himself.
'Whatever mysteries the world has to offer, It will be after a good night's sleep.'
