The Last Primal
534 Chapter 534 - Unexpected Changes
While the residents of the camp slowly succumbed to their daily struggles and laid their heads down and rested, far to the northwest of them, somewhere under the ground, in a dimly lit chamber, a special holding cell, a long black-haired boy sat in a meditative pose, cross-legged.
His eyes closed his hands resting over his kneecaps, his mind clear, focusing on the mantra, the teachings of his dear master. He was focused on trying to recoup as much energy in the time he was left alone as he could.
With no true understanding of what was going on, where he was, and most importantly, who were his captors, and why did they take him alive, he couldn't allow himself even a second to relax, to feel at ease. He needed to be ready for when his captors would come to his jail cell.
Aiden didn't know how much time had passed with such quiet, peace, and calm when suddenly his focus was abruptly put to a halt with several bell-like sounds coming from his system, informing him of the arrival of new messages.
Surprised by the sudden updates, Aiden's body trembled as his concentration was utterly broken and his meditation session have ended. His mind swiftly returning to reality, he first took the moment to glance at his current [Soul Power] levels, only to flash a satisfied, contented smile as he saw that he was once again back to full. Though he was still injured, his condition only regenerating to 80% of his maximum, his Soul Power was once again glowering at the dominating 1250 points.
Even without the system, just taking a moment to check himself would probably give a similar result. His previously pained-ridden and weary body was now almost back to yesterday's vigor and on top of that, he no longer felt exhausted, his mind wasn't like a drudging mass but was bright and brimming, ready for action.
Still, unfortunately, he still didn't earn any points towards breaking through the current level he was stuck at. His [Soul Power] was still at the second level, with a 99.99% Affinity, just 1 point shy from breaking through.
Yet, just as the system warned his host back then when he earned the [Meditation] skill, to break through and surpass this current mental block, this seemingly unsurmountable wall, he needed something else, something more. He needed to reach a state of comprehension, a higher level of understanding before anything could happen.
As the system said back then in the description of the skill:
[Meditation: Active Skill. Gain 1 XP to [Soul Power] for every second spent meditating in the clear, perfect state.
Note: Depending on the comprehension of the host, reaching this state may take some time. Before that, there is no XP to be generated.]
It seemed that despite his diligent work and regular sessions, he still haven't taken a single step in the right direction. Aiden could only sigh, and made a mental note to visit his Master, now residing in Haven in her very own temple, and ask what he needed to do.
That was a task for the future. Now, however, he had some other, more pressing matters to solve. Coming back to his senses, Aiden switched over to the Activity tab in the system, and brought the messages section up.
His eyes went wide with shock as the feed appeared in front of his golden gaze. Since he didn't bother taking a look at this portion of the system before and hasn't changed or customized anything, all four types of messages were displayed. Though most would have gone silent, there were other 'higher ranked' messages as well that have finally earned his attention.
As he checked over, he could see that the messages were coded in a way that it would be easy to differentiate the most information 'Info' type grey-colored text from the normal white system news, updates, quests, or the orange warnings and finally the incredibly rare, Critical Red updates.

Reading through the long list, Aiden was beyond stunned at what he was reading. What exactly happened with his cheerful little girl to gain so much in the span of just some hours. What danger could they have fallen into?
Almost instantly, he focused on their shared mental channel and activated it. As soon as the connection turned live, he reached out with his mind, trying to get a feel of her beloved little girl's current condition. He didn't say a word, afraid of breaking her concentration and interrupting her rest.
When Aiden felt that other than incredibly exhausted, she was fine and healthy… only then could he visibly relax and heave a sigh before he silently closed the channel and returned his focus on the newsfeed once again.
'What did that girl do…' He sighed, quickly navigating through the system interface and bringing up Galina's status page in the next moment.
Just as he opened, another message came that once again earned a shocked, disbelieving expression from the boy.
