The mountain he found himself was incredibly lofty, but he had no problem breathing the thin air up here, although the air felt different somehow, as if it were missing a vital component, he chose to investigate those findings later.
He had two basic objectives, gathering Soul points and materials with dense energy. With Soul points, he would quickly evolve to the peak of Legendary and with energy, he could finally activate his Legendary Ability, and he could begin changing the chessboard. Moreover, with his enhanced physique, he may finally rid himself of this curse.
Above that basic need was to first find a valid source of information, in this brand-new world, details of him must be sparse or nonexistent, so he could move about with some freedom.
He left both Augustus and Lamia alive, also his father and the Order of the Broken Eye, who was controlled by a goddess no doubt would be hunting him at this very moment.
He was only at ease a bit when he saw that with distance, the Sigils had faded to nothingness, although they still bound the Primordial Record, they no longer emanated past the covers of the Black Book.
Rowan was ecstatic at this development, he may have a limited time of freedom before he was attacked once more.
Looking down at himself, the only piece of covering he had been the spatial bracelet he kept on his wrist. This thing was quite durable, and he had an idea of how to break it open to reveal its contents. He needed to be able to keep his valuables secure, but first he should reconnaissance, and understand his surroundings.
Inside the Mental Space in his head, he scrutinized all the Ability Runes inside of it, and focused on his Spatial Sight.
The goddess's descent had left him with a curse, and well, as a boon of a sort, for he knew that without the massive blank face inside his mental space that had stretched it open, thus giving him access to manipulate his Spirit, hence Aether, he would never have escaped the Nexus.
Even if he was still at the peak of his power, with Lamia's ability to control Aether, she would have forced him to make a deal in order to use the portal and Rowan would either have to accept or battle with her, and none of those options were especially pleasing to him.
The next great leap in the evolution of bloodlines, inside the First Great Circle, was when a Dominator created their Mental Space as they crossed into the Rift state.
The ability to visualize and manipulate your Ability Runes were just a single part of it, the Mental Space could collect and Store Aether, in accordance to the Spirit capacity of the Dominator.
So, a Dominator with a hundred points in Spirit would have far more stores of Aether than one with fifty points in spirit, although having more or less stores of Aether did not matter on how well you manipulated it, but that was an issue faced by Incarnation State Dominators who actively wielded Aether without the use of Ability Runes.
His Spatial Sight was an ability that was entirely dependent on his Spirit, and in conjunction with the field of energy his enormous vitality gave off, he could manipulate his surroundings in a limited manner, with the addition of Aether into the mix, that ability skyrocketed.
Although his Vitality was weak as it was holding back the Curse of The Flesh of Madness, it was still far more powerful than most and Rowan suspected that the reason he did not die from his crash was because he had wrapped himself inside a field of telekinesis, yet he was grateful that he teleported in the atmosphere but not in the center of the planet.
