An endless azure sky stretched before him.
An airship cut through the white clouds, traveling beneath the vast blue expanse.
Kevin sat in his seat, took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and watched the scenery outside the window.
To be honest, before researching, he had never imagined that aerial transportation in this world would rely on airships, something completely obsolete in his previous life, rather than the airplanes he was familiar with.
Ground transportation, however, was exactly the same as in his previous life.
Alas, perhaps this was simply the difference between worlds.
"Dear passengers, we will soon be arriving at Saba City. Passengers whose destination is Saba City, please prepare…"
Hearing the announcement, Kevin stood up and got ready.
He had quite a bit of luggage, having packed all the strange items from the jeep and brought them back.
He had only sold the jeep.
After getting off the airship, he collected his luggage, hailed a taxi, and arrived at his "home."
To be honest, the location was quite remote, almost at the outermost ring of the city.
Colloquially known as the suburbs.
However, he was very satisfied with this detached house.
"Look around, brain. Give me some memory fragments. You're a top student, don't act like an idiot."
The building was approximately three stories tall, with white exterior walls and a yard enclosed by a two-meter-high wall.
Next to the yard was a separate garage.
After exploring inside and out for a while, Kevin relied on fragmented memories and found a basement underground.
It was very spacious, estimated to be half the size of the building including the courtyard.
Aside from the stairwell partition, the entire basement looked like a laboratory.
Not an evil laboratory, but rather a place meant to research some kind of chemical agent.
There were droppers, beakers, and a large number of unfamiliar materials.
A dedicated storage room was filled with biological specimens soaking in an unknown liquid: unidentified animals, gigantic limbs, brain matter resembling human brains, eyeballs, and internal organs.
"It seems I'm not exactly a good person," Kevin quipped.
It looked far too sinister. After exploring the house for so long, only here did some fragments surface in his mind, all of them showing him refining something at a potion table.
Now he understood why, out of everything in the jeep, only various herbal powders had been meticulously sorted and stored.
However, he had also discovered something in his personal file.
This body had graduated from the Royal Medical Academy of the Kukan'yu Kingdom, which Kevin had checked and found to be one of the top-ranked medical academies globally.
He was undoubtedly an academic prodigy, specializing in pharmacology.
He had indeed just seen several potions neatly arranged in a small refrigerated cabinet.
"Wait. If this was for experiments, wouldn't there be a rigorous lab journal?"
Kevin's eyes lit up as he realized this and quickly began searching.
He soon found a large number of experimental journals in a nearby cabinet.
They were meticulously organized and contained various experiment records.
The entries were not strictly formal, with many casual notes and bursts of inspiration scribbled throughout.
Then, among these documents, he saw several striking terms.
"Life energy. Energy. Nen. Soul…"
As he delved deeper into the files, the most profound memories surfaced in his mind, almost like instincts. They were as fundamental as common sense, language, and speech.
A superpower that felt almost innate after graduation.
It was so deeply ingrained that it felt instinctive.
He could clearly feel the emotions attached to those memory fragments: joy, madness, pride.
Kevin raised his hands.
This time, even without deliberately using the techniques Ging had briefly introduced earlier, he could clearly see his "Energy" surging outward.
The Energy gathered and condensed into a tangible form.
A balance scale.
But this balance scale had three pans arranged in a triangular formation. The main structure was crystalline, and only the pans differed.
In clockwise order, they were made of gold, silver, and copper.
Below it was a base about ten centimeters thick, hollowed out with a circular opening in the center.
"A Moment of Dream," Kevin murmured.
That was the name of this item.
And he knew exactly how to use it.
It looked like a balance scale, but it was actually a potion-making device, similar to a witch's cauldron.
A "Potion Crafting Station."
Each use required placing three different "Materials" onto the gold, silver, and copper pans.
In the hollow space below, a suitable empty potion bottle had to be placed.
By activating the Nen Ability, a potion with a certain degree of randomness could be created.
Wait.
"No, that's not right."
Kevin rubbed his head as his memories began to conflict with his current understanding.
When he activated the Nen Ability, "A Moment of Dream" had already shown him how to use it.
But the method in his memory differed from what he now knew.
Why?
In his original memory, the "Materials" that could be used for potion crafting were limited to tangible biological products.
Now there was an additional category: minerals.
Of course, all materials had to be something he owned, something that belonged to him.
Previously, the effects of a potion were only known after it was crafted and consumed.
Now, he could roughly understand the potential outcome simply by placing materials on the scale.
He could perform an action called "Estimation."
In any case, this appeared to be an enhancement.
Why? Was it because of his transmigration?
To be honest, he did not understand, nor did he fully comprehend the deeper principles behind Nen Abilities.
However, this helped him understand why those who used Energy were called Nen Users.
The object before him was undeniably generated from Energy.
To be honest, this overturned part of his worldview.
Energy could materialize into a physical object and possess creative capabilities, not merely strengthen the body or fuel attacks.
Was that reasonable?
Who cared? Perhaps this was simply how other worlds functioned.
Kevin accepted this setting with surprising ease. After all, transmigration, possession, and body-snatching had already occurred. Compared to that, this did not seem so outrageous.
He began experimenting tirelessly with his "superpower" while also gathering information.
The temptation of an ordinary person in a normal world gaining superpower-like abilities was simply too great.
If Kevin had not been worried about encountering others with similar powers and causing unnecessary trouble, he might have started training anywhere at any time.
Now that he had returned to this "home," he finally felt a sense of security.
Even though he was anxious, his body naturally relaxed.
Controlling Energy as it flowed through his body was something he was already becoming proficient at. Perhaps due to muscle memory, it felt smooth and natural.
Since Energy was the power of life, strengthening his body with it seemed like the most basic application.
He completed it easily. It felt smooth. Was that also muscle memory?
Expelling Energy, however, proved slightly more difficult.
Time passed amid such training and experimentation.
