The air around me trembled ever so slightly, a soft vibration that made the hairs on my skin stand on end. I could feel myself slipping into a state unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was as though I could feel the very aura of the world itself—a sensation I couldn't fully explain. This mysterious state was like a delicate caress of the world, a gentle yet overpowering touch against my skin. It was soothing, yet it carried a weight, as if the world itself was pressing in on me, demanding that I yield to its presence. Perhaps I wasn't yet strong enough, but that didn't stop me from giving it a try.
With a deep breath, I focused all my energy, controlling the soul energy that swirled around me. I extended my consciousness outward, feeling it stretch far beyond my physical form. My awareness expanded like ripples in water, pushing farther and farther, until I could feel myself intertwining with the world itself. I wasn't just connected to it; I was it.
