?
Northern felt the pain even though he wasn't feeling material; he felt every part of his immaterial body experience the agony.
Northern's essence trembled, every fiber of his being quivering as if gripped by an unseen hand and wrenched taut.
His immaterial form, unbound by flesh but somehow alive with sensation, throbbed with a pain so raw it was a symphony of agony.
Each note struck like lightning, racing through him with relentless ferocity.
It was as though his soul had become the heart of a storm, cracking under the pressure of an electric surge that shredded through him.
Bolts of pain tore across his essence, relentless and wild, splintering it in jagged fractures, each one sharper than the last.
His vision or whatever senses existed in this realm of formlessness-shattered with each pulse, each searing wave more violent, more unforgiving.
The agony didn't simply hit; it twisted. The bolts of torment coiled into his soul, drilling deeper, vibrating with a force that seemed intent on unraveling him, cell by ethereal cell.
He felt every inch of himself tearing, felt it with a clarity that was too vivid, too real, as if he could hear his very soul screaming in response.
The air around him pulsed with an eerie crackle, resonating with his suffering, amplifying it, until he was drowning in it, a cascade of scalding shards that left no corner of his spirit untouched.
Then, as another torrent ripped through, so violent it felt as if he'd been split open, everything flickered into a different darkness, a merciful darkness.
The world faded, and with it, the pain ebbed, leaving Northern to fall, weightless, into the quiet, unconscious void.
After a while of being unconscious, Northern was woken by the sounds of numerous rushing notifications.

Void Tendrils: [Your connection to the Void manifests physically as tendrils of dark energy that emerge from your body. You can summon these tendrils to attack, defend or siphon life energy from their target. These tendrils have an almost liquid quality, capable of slipping through armors or barriers to reach their targets]
Fading: [You have gained the ability to partially phase out of existence, becoming a flickering, incorporeal shadow. In this form, physical attacks pass through you harmlessly, though you are still vulnerable to certain types of energy-based attacks]

[Chaos Thread has been promoted to Chaotic Regeneration]
Chaotic Regeneration: [Your body becomes capable of regenerating at rapid rates when surrounded by chaos. The process might be imperfect or unpredictable, potentially leaving small chaotic marks or distortions on your body, yet accelerating your healing]
[You have 4,340 talent fragments left]
[You have progressed without copying ANY talents]
[You shall receive a penalty]
Northern felt himself strain a little bit; he was struggling to put his consciousness all
together, but the information so far was registering in his mind.
'Chaos and Void negotiated... those darned tenants, what gives them the right to be negotiating without my own consent?'
The more he tried to rise in agitation, he felt himself fall weak.
Things had progressed tremendously, and he wasn't even expecting it.
However, he was still a bit concerned about that penalty that was mentioned. It was all that was said, and the system stopped ringing.
'I guess I'm allowed to progress to another rank copying at least one talent. The other slots are converted into talent fragments, but when I don't copy any talent, I get a penalty. Something smells fishy.'
Northern's thoughts went silent for a bit then rose again. 'I wonder if that darned trickster is gaining something every time I copy a talent. Or else why would he have given me this as a gift? Nobody just meets a soul and gives freebies.'
Which was why he felt the strong need to rely more on Chaos and Void.
Chaos and Void were uncalculated and unexpected variables. If he used them right, they
would be his weapon to shape himself out of any being's expectation.
Which was the exact thing he was doing. But these two entities were just doing their own
thing and dangerously branching out.
Now, that was another danger he wasn't sure how to manage.
'I can't always have it all my way. I guess I just have to choose what danger I want to better
deal with. I guess that settles it then.'
Northern was slowly, even though he didn't have an idea, choosing his path.
Such thoughts and acceptance of the void and chaos brought about an understanding of not
just two but three entities.
The Void, which was his soul, The Chaos, which was his body, and his mind.
This gave birth to a new development totally outside Northern's expectations. [The understanding between Chaos and Void has taken its root in your mind]
[A three entity unification has been formed]
[Your mind has blended into the synergy between Chaos and Void]
[Your knowledge of the Void and the Chaos is improving]
[UNIQUE SYSTEM ABILITY (COPYCAT) IS UPGRADING...]
