The Tales of Draconic Warlock - Chapter 27: My Sea of Consciousness

Chapter 27: My Sea of Consciousness

Damn it.

How can I forget to give the clone potions?

That was like the basic needs for a person to survive in wild. I emptied my bracelet and gave it to the clone forgetting to stock it with potions.

Well, anyway, this looks kind of damaged. I think I should just create a new clone, rather than fixing this one.

[Fusion]

The clone merged with me without any problems. Hmm, I don’t see any improvements. Well, it hasn’t been long since the clone went out to hunt.

[Split]

I created a new clone with the same parameters. This time I equipped it perfectly and also placed potions inside, after taking out the goblin cores that the previous clone was able to acquire.

Giving proper instructions to my new clone, I sent it off to hunt. The clone wouldn’t return, unless there was danger, or the potions were emptied out, or it was too tired to push forward.

The only gains I got from my previous clone are small after all. I wanted to get as much out of the clones as I could get from them. After all, only by doing this can I increase my [Split] and [Fusion] skills, and at the same time improve my other skills.

Now that my clone is away, it’s time for me to enter my Sea of Consciousness and open it for access.

Two Months Later…

I learned how to meditate and enter my Sea of Consciousness. This was not easy, as one needs to be in One’s state to achieve that. One’s state is what people refer to as the state where one would forget about their surroundings.

All their senses would be turned off externally and would be tuned to sense internally. You would clearly sense what was happening inside your body, to a minute detail.

This was not an easy matter, and it would take weeks if not months to even see any progress.

Probably because my INT value is very high or I unlocked my Soul Energy attribute, I achieved 100% One’s State within two weeks. I don’t if any of those two played a part or it is the benefit of having memories of past life.

Whatever the reason might be, I am happy with the outcome.

Within the next two weeks, I was able to I was able to enter my Sea of Consciousness. Entering was the easy part while one was in One’s State. It would be difficult to do so without entering One’s State.

The reason was not stated in any book that I have access to but it was said that it was important to establish a link, so that you can enter the Sea of Consciousness, whenever you want to. Only after that, one can see INT in status and be able to get a Tier-4 promotion mission.

Usually, this should be done in a safe environment, but I need to do this as soon as possible. I am already at Tier-3.

When I return, everyone would assume that I have at least reached level 100 by that time, and would take the promotion mission. If I was unable to take that, then I would be labeled as mediocre. That was a label that I didn’t want to be tagged with.

If I get that label, then the resources that would be allocated by the family to me will reduce in quality and quantity. Especially there are many Elders who stand against my father, they would make my quota smaller than it should be. So I should show them I am an qualified for those resources.

This is why I needed to open my Sea of Consciousness. Once I do that and each level 100, I will return home. At first, doing this in a forest was dangerous but my Split skill level improved and I was able to bring out two clones. One hunted outside, while one acted as my bodyguard.

When I first entered my Sea of Consciousness during my awakening, it had a plethora of colors, but now it was only two colors. Red and Black covered the skies and land in my Sea of Consciousness. There was a sliver of unknown color, which I believe to be Silver color at the edges.

Red and Black, I understand those because my affinities are Blood and Shadow, but the silver color, I have no idea. Maybe I am hoping that I had another affinity and am seeing things. Anyway, if there is a third color, either my affinity is minuscule or I would know the reason probably when I get access to higher level knowledge.

Finally after two months of hard work from both myself and my clones, not only I was able to establish a link to my Sea of Consciousness but also was able to improve many of my skill levels. They reached further than I anticipated.

The only bummer was, when merged with clones it only improved my skill levels. Everything else remained the same, including attributes and my level.
