After he accepted the use of the item called the Book of the World, he received a skill called the Voice of the World. It had the same voice that appeared in his head when he touched the orb. But the only difference is that he could not ask the voice questions then. It seemed that the skill allowed him to ask the voice questions.
He learns about various things that he learnt from the use of the book. His brain was loaded with information like a pen drive is loaded with files. He fell unconscious after a minute. When he woke up, he felt as if he had a very hard hungover.
" What happened? How many days have passed? " The surrounding grass was now the home of tree saplings.
The voice spoke in his head " YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD. YOUR BRAIN HAD PASSED OUT FOR A MONTH UNDER THE PRESSURE OF THE KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS INSTALLED INTO IT ".
It was the same voice, but it was still different. The voice that spoke before was sensed by his soul it was like it spoke in a distinct voice to himself, but now the voice was sensed by the brain. It was like a different person entered his head and started speaking.
He moved back and forth, thinking about the knowledge his mind was dumped with at the center of now a patch of tree saplings. He seemed to know the name and rarity of the tree saplings; he figured out that it must have been the noble rank skill that allowed him to sense the information of all things that are not sentient. He spoke out in a whisper, telling himself all the things that just popped out of his head.
" So, this world is called the throne world. Rather than a world, this is a group of worlds or planets in a solar system far away from Earth. There is magic here, and the technology is also much advanced than the place I come from. " He sensed that he did not feel any tiredness while walking. Then it hit him.
" It seems that the body I have now, resemble my original body, but it's way different. I can't feel tired, hunger and thirst. I don't have to excrete. This is like an actual magical body. Am I still human?"
He asked himself the question, but the voice answered. " YOU ARE AN OMNIARCH. "
Alex's eye glowed with a childish sparkle as he asked his next question " What does omniarch mean? ",
" AN OMNIARCH MEANS A PERSON WHOSE BODY WAS CREATED BY HIS SOUL RATHER THAN A REPRODUCTIVE METHOD, YOU ARE A NORMAL RANK LEVEL 0 OMNIARCH. YOU NEED TO REACH ROYAL RANK TO UNLOCK YOUR FULL RACIAL BODY." Alex's face twitch as he heard he needed to reach royal rank to unlock his all-racial abilities.
" There are 7 ranks, and if I am correct, royal rank is the third highest rank." he looked around thinking.
He started moving into the forest. As he placed his foot onto the dry leaves, making sounds under his feet as he left the patch of grass for the first time.
" YOU ARE ENTERING A SOUL DOMAIN; YOUR ABILITIES WILL BE SUPPRESSED. ". He felt his body becoming heavy. His eyes glowed in black, gold and silver as his eyes turned into a smaller version of the orb that he consumed.
By the time Alex regained his senses, he was running without any sense of direction or end.
" NOBLE SKILL - ALL-SEEING EYES, RECEIVED, " the voice spoke. His vision exploded as his new skill came into use. He fell to the ground, holding his hands over his eyes as he screamed in pain. It was like an electrical driller drilling into both of his eyes. He could see in 360°, but the vision behind his head was mostly black with few gold lights, which he realized were trees. He continued his sprint in the direction where his vision skill pointed a silver arrow.
" At least I have a point where I can move towards. " He thought increasing his speed.
Alex was moving through the forest at speeds his legs previously could not attain. " I should have been more careful, " he spoke to himself.
Alex sprinted for a week straight. He halted at the entrance of what seemed to be a tree city that was ravaged. Half of the tree houses were burned, and the rest were covered by an Overgrowth of vines. There was an unusual building in the center of the city not on trees but on ground, it was made up of a black stone with streams of gold and silver occasionally appearing on the stone. He was unconsciously pulled to the building.
" What is this place?" He asked, half expecting the voice to answer, after a moment, he turned to be correct as the voice spoke,
" THIS IS THE TEMPLE OF ANCIENT".
" A temple." He nodded, realizing the similarities.
As he entered the building, the voice spoke again
" YOU ARE ENTERING A PLACE WITH ITS CONNECTIONS SEVERED FROM THE WORLD. THE SKILL VOICE OF THE WORLD WILL NOT WORK WHEN YOU ARE IN PLACES WITH THEIR CONECTION TO THE WORLD SEVERED.".
" Even If I don't feel tired, I must take rest " Alex sat down as he continued his thoughts " SHEESH, THIS IS A VERY LARGE FOREST. THIS FOREST MUST BE BIGGER THAN NEW YORK."
He returned to his open thoughts as he turned to look at the entrance to the tree city " I have been running nonstop for a week, and I am not even half the way out of this forest if my vision ability is accurate. " He sighed.
" Next, I need to explore this temple first and start my moving again. This is a really big forest after all." He slept on the stone.
