'[Also, just so you are aware, your Soul Power is not the ultimate, highest of all. There are many above it for you to explore and learn.]'

'What do you mean? What other types of energy are there? In what way are they considered 'better'? Can I obtain them in some way? What will that mean to my Primal origin?'

After such an information bomb was dropped, Enya had to suffer the relentless barrage of questions after questions from the passionate Aiden. The thought that there was an even better, stronger… more 'potent' source of power out there, strangely excited him. He wanted to grab, to obtain, to make it his own.

Even he himself was surprised by his own sudden outburst. Was he getting more and more power-hungry? He didn't know, but he was sure that the mere thought of a more 'potent' source was a very thrilling, tantalizing idea to him.

'Anyway… There's still a lot to check…' He sighed a moment later, shaking his head lightly, and shifting his attention back to the floating screen in front of him, where he quickly tabbed through the other three sub-options under the 'Main' category.

As expected, for Skills, he was greeted with a simplified, slick, new look at his available skillset. Still, it did carry a couple of surprises.

Interestingly, this page now also gave a quick list of all the available currently available forms he possessed, even listing their statuses, ranking, and their current Mastery levels.

Also, just like previously, even though the details were hidden, once Aiden focused on any of the particular skills, the text itself would slightly increase in size and the previously seen details of the current progress towards the next level would be shown.

Taking a quick look at his skills, he had to admit that he was still way too impulsive during combat and relied mostly on his Draconic skill set rather than anything else.

'Huah… I'm still too immature it seems…' Aiden sighed, selecting the third tab under the Main category, Analysis.

Just as he was about to move on, he noticed two new skills that he had never seen before, whilst one of his oldest and most important abilities was now nowhere to be found.

Still, instead of panicking, he reminded himself of the small fact that his [Dark Sense], probably his most important ability to date was ready to be upgraded to something new because of his sudden completion of the acquired Dark Essence back in the underground temple.

'Oh right… I wonder, is this 'Dark Gaze the new ability? I dunno… It sounds different… Ominous somehow.' He muttered mentally, as he focused his attention on his newest innate ability.

[Dark Gaze: The power of darkness enhances your sight, giving you the ability to see in complete and utter darkness without the use of any sources of light. As an upgraded version of [Dark Sense], it provides the same 'mapping' features as its predecessor with the added benefit of being untraceable at the lower level energy sources than it was used with. It also has the added ability to delve deeper into the souls of the detected life forms and automatically analyze some preliminary information about their strengths and weaknesses.]

As for Dark Essence, it was quite cryptic in its description, only providing a short sentence.

[Dark Essence: The power of darkness courses through your very soul, making you gradually more accustomed to it…]

'Woah… This…' Aiden was astounded, stunned as he read the description of his newest skill. If he understood the description correctly, he gained some form of inspection-type ability. He should be able to understand more information from those that he detected and what was even better, was that it should be completely invisible, unnoticeable to those using Mana, no matter how strong of a caster they were!'

Quickly, he focused some of his [Spirit Power], and like before, he sent out a pulse of energy, letting it pass by the wooden walls and explore the surrounding rooms.

Like before, in a couple of moments, he could feel a slew of information appear in his mind, slowly building up an image of all the other rooms and what their residents were up to in his surroundings.

Just as he expected, he only detected signals from two rooms. One to his left where his sister was now lying on the bed with Galina sleeping at her side. However, at the next instant, his eyes went wide as new, previously unseen information appeared over the two green dots in his minimap.

The small tooltip window frames held only a bit of information but it was already quite incredible.

[Source: Lily ????

Power: Light, Nature, Martial Arts

Threat Level: N/A

Affiliation: Friendly, Family]

Looking over the other window, he was greeted with even more shocking revelations.

[Source: Galina Voragon

Power: Primal, Light, Nature, Martial Arts

Threat Level: N/A

Affiliation: Kin, Family]

'Galina Vordragon… Kin and Family?! What the…' He mumbled as he read Galina's information in his system's minimap. 'Just what happened to her during her evolution?!'

'[I would not want to ruin the surprise… Although you already have a pretty good guess in your mind.]' Enya's teasing, a chuckling voice resounded in his mind, earning Aiden another headache. If his hunch is correct, Galina evolved into something unexpected… something that should have been impossible.

Sighing, he looked away from the room, towards the room opposite of his, where his friend Drake was already lying on his bed. Just like with Lily and Galina, as soon as his focus shifted over his signal on the map, his small card appeared in the next instant.

[Source: Drake Aquina / Draco Draquilea]

Power: Light, Fire, Martial Arts, Sword Master, Royal Bloodline

Threat Level: Minimal

Affiliation: Friendly]

Just as he expected, Drake was mostly a sword fighter with some added small knowledge around fire and surprisingly in the light-based magical attacks. Also, for some reason, his royal bloodline was considered a power…

'Hmm… He may be hiding a couple of secrets… Interesting.' Aiden muttered, not minding that his friend wasn't completely honest. After all, he himself was hiding many of his own.

His gaze only lingered on his friend for a second longer before it shifted to the room to its left, opposite of Lily's.

Scarlet was like his brother, already in her bed, probably sleeping, resting for the day.

Her title card, however, brought quite a few surprises for Aiden.

[Source: Scarlet ???? Draquilea

Power: Martial Arts, Dagger Master, Assassin, Royal Bloodline, Bloodlust, ????

Threat Level: ????

Affiliation: Friendly]

Scarlet's card wasn't complete, there were many sections, even in her name' that held question marks instead of providing useful info. Also, it seems there were more secrets tucked away, dormant in her thin body that caused the system to be unable to correctly gauge the actual threat she meant. Who was she exactly? Wasn't she the little sister of Drake?

"Hmm… These two are getting more and more interesting…" He muttered, not completely sure how to react to these new revelations at all. Luckily both were considered as friends, even by the system, and did not hold any ill intention, or malicious thoughts against him or his family.

Still, until he could correctly gauge all of his secrets and could trust them more, he should be wary and aware of the two.

In the end, he could only shelve these thoughts and move on. He couldn't grow really suspicious of the two and suspect ill-play from them. After all, even the system considered them as friendlies and was displayed on the map with green color.

Adding to that, both of them were always honest, -sometimes even too honest even-, only showing their trustworthy nature and desire to build a friendly relationship.

After thinking everything through, Aiden shook his head and decided to move on. He quickly navigated to the third sub-option and watched as the screen in front of his eyes had begun to change.

He did not expect anything new, apart from the same information that was previously tucked into the end of his Status Screen in its separate, new section.

[Name: Aiden Voragon

Rune Magic - Current Progress: 97%,

Alchemy (Basic) - Current Progress: 52%,

Sword Mastery - Current Progress: 20%,

Wind Magic - Current Progress: 10 %,

Spirit Magic - Current Progress: 1% ]

Just as he expected, there was nothing too surprising here. Though it was still a welcome change to have this moved to its own section, making it easier to digest and keep track of.

Giving it one last quick look, Aiden gave a quick check over his inventory before finally focusing on the completely new feature of his System Screen, the 'Lab' option…
