Spectral Regalia

Ch 35: Tutor & Events

Avrin, lets start with what you are" In an instant the table vanished and god was in front of a white board with what seemed like a humanoid drawing with half of having its organs and such revealed. God had a pointing stick as he pointed to it.
"You are a Spectral, this refers to a phantom, ghost, shadowy, incorporeal, but I picked it based on two things. One is it also means otherworldly, which I think suited you well, and the other being a secret you will find out on your own.

Being what you are, I made it so your body can stay up at much longer durations than a normal creature on Seleria would be used to, but when you do need to rest it is the minimum 8 hours required. "

Avrin listened intently. The reason was because there was no other being in existence that could tell him what God was telling him now. He would never find or discover this information unless he found out himself. God continued on.

"This body of yours also works hand in hand with dark matter. It doesn't produce mana and uses dark matter instead. In a video game that is black and white, imagine having that one character that is 3d and coloured inside of it.
That is what you are like in this universe."

Avrin spoke out, this somewhat confused him. He didn't see this as some important piece of information, more like unusual and random facts. But he figured every bit counted.

"As a Spectral you're capable of racial abilities and traits. I will give you a clue for one of each. One of your racial abilities allows you to do more with your eyes other than augmenting them. And a trait allows your body to be somewhat sentient to a degree"
Avrin was somewhat surprised. His eyes had more than one use other than augmentation. He would surely want to discover what it was and if it was something useful and if it was even suitable for dark matter. And the trait God spoke of was something Avrin longed to know personally.

He was somewhat right. His body seemed to remove any unimportant urges from how he felt if he didn't think of it. For instance, if he didn't want to feel pain then most likely his body would not allow the pain receptors to transmit.
If he didn't want to feel sexual urges then his body wouldn't waste the effort or energy in letting him feel aroused or stimulated unless he wanted to.

If he emotionally was confused or was pondering something then it would have a change in the way he was. No wonder he felt like he lacked emotions. It was because his body was trying to adapt itself to make him a better creature.
This certainly had positives and negatives. He would have to be careful and learn to harness it better.

"Moving on" God spoke as that was all he would tell Avrin. The picture on the whiteboard changed in an instant showing several different looking planets that seemed to be alive and perfectly made on the whiteboard as if they were holographic.
"What individuals call gods here are merely beings who have reached an immense state of personal power.

Creatures who have different body structures that allowed them to be as strong as they are, or they can even be born that way. As I showed you before.But I'll tell you now they are not gods. A God is an individual who knows all, sees all, is everywhere, can do anything quicker than an instant, and is beyond infinite. Other than me there is nothing like that.

But the benefit of the doubt has been given and they can be called gods in their own respect. You want to become like one but you currently lack what they have.That is power. Obviously you know this and I shouldn't be telling you this."
Avrin thought to himself carefully "If they are that strong and I'm only a mortal, you surely have a point to this...I'm guessing it is how I am going to reach that point of power. I dont even know when I will die or how long I'll live."

God's featureless face formed a mouth that smiled which was somewhat creepy "Very good. I didn't expect you to pick up on that. So I'll reward you with a final gift Avrin. Your cells are different, they never die for as long as they are inside you. With your body and dark matter you are capable of living for as long as you like. When you discover how to do so on your own."
