BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 What Is Sun?
We look up at a nearly perfect ball of plasma which mostly looks bright yellow, orange, or red.
We all know it is the most important source of energy for the life inside this nature.
Though it\'s just a mass of gases and, in my previous world\'s cases, it was made of mostly hydrogen and helium.
The nuclear fusion reaction at its core was the reason it produces energies in the form of different radiations.
The formation of the sun had happened a long time ago with a gravitational collapse of an enormous dust cloud.
But...
We believe the sun in this world to be part of nature and this \'nature\' may probably be the entire observable universe.
Humans know little about anything outside this planet, and there is no need to even know.
There is no way of space travel in this world.
They mostly left the idea of outer space itself out of normal academics.
It\'s truly like medieval times in this aspect.
Despite that, the ideas and explanations regarding nature are way different in this world.
In this \'nature\', the world holds the supreme authority, and it has a will of its own.
This fantasy concept might sound familiar, and it is the same.
A world that can think like a higher existence or quantum computers.
It\'s more different from the concept of any AI and... it is not important right now.
Trees, plants, mountains, rivers, lakes, rain, storms, volcanos, the sun, moon, and stars, or even the observable constellations, are all part of this nature.
A [Origin Skill] might be something like a link connecting these natural elements and a person.
As the power of this link grows, the power one can use from this source might get bigger.
These natural elements hold a significant amount of power in this \'nature\' or \'world\', just like gods who have broken some bounds of this world or have become part of this nature itself.
They might also hold a \'will\' just like this world, but not as great as the world.
The [Origin] might be a starting point in this \'nature\' and it might be true that everyone has an origin, but ones with a [Origin Skill] are the only ones that can use the power of these origins.
If that\'s true, then we can explain spells like (Reincarnation) in simpler terms.
It would be like recreating the body from its [Origin point] and inserting back the [Soul] that is still intact inside nature in the body.
So, this soul might just be like the ghost after death from games where the other team member has to cast (revive) to put it back inside the body.
As I thought more deeply about it, this world was more and more game-like.
There were no levels, but there were stats.
There were no specific ranks for other jobs like mage, knight, or priest, but there were specific ranks of [Origin Skill].
It showed how special these unique skills were in this world.
Raising the mastery or the Rank of these skills was much harsher than I originally thought.
For the past few months, I have practiced, thought, and experimented.
It was a productive time as I got to know many things about the skill and the world.
I was now close to making a breakthrough with my original skill.
I had thought about everything I could about the natural entity called \'sun\'.
I didn\'t actually know what I had to do to practice this [Origin Skill] because there wasn\'t much information on them in the books I read.
All I was doing was meditating and trying to understand my skills.
I thought it was just a futile effort, but as time passed and I played with my eyes and heart skills, I actually grew stronger.
Today was the day, and I was excited about how much I will grow after this breakthrough.
Crossing my legs, I closed my eyes and focused all my attention on myself.
I could now imagine or maybe feel the [Origin] and see inside myself if I reached the state of extreme concentration.
My consciousness passed through a humongous dark sky and stopped at an open space.
This sensation was almost like floating in space.
My imaginary body was now floating in the wide-open space.
It was before the very sun that I saw every day in the sky.
It was big and warm.
It wasn\'t as hot to me as I imagined.
The warmth was the same as my heart, and it was constantly moving.
The sun looked after every life form on this planet.
I could see far away, just like this Sun.
It wasn\'t like I can also look through some trees or walls but I can at least see more than any normal person.
The calmness and dynamics of my heart weren\'t as perfect as the sun before me, but it was still good.
There was a lot of space in between the sun and me, enough to fill anything in there.
Many types of energies fused and increased or decreased in strength inside its core.
Using those melting metals as materials inside its core, it converts them into many natural energies.
Though it was a celestial body and not part of the \'world\', it was the reason the world was there.
As someone from this world might think the sun was only part of \'nature\' because of its substantial presence, it was a more integrated element of nature than that.
A small link like a river that connected an ocean and a small lake was getting bigger.
The level of water flowing through the river was also increasing.
The space between myself and that great celestial body before me was crumbling, and I was going back.
I had gained something and broken a wall hindering the continuous path of the river.
This was a distinct feeling from last time when I gained [Dynamic Heart].
Right now, I could feel I had gained a lake.
The vast feeling of having something so big feels unfathomable.
It was strange, but it was also the same feeling I got when I saw the great distance between the sun and myself.
It wasn\'t like something inside me was changing, but I was gaining a totally new something.
A pure white and blinding light enveloped the quiet cave.
This light was bright, so bright it almost blinded anyone seeing it.
Sitting crossed-legged inside the cave, drenched in sweat, I threw up a mouthful of blood.
My hair was long again, longer than the last time I had cut them.
I was now taller, and my eyelashes were also longer.
With calm breathing, I opened my eyes.
My red, ruby-like eyes were glowing with the glowing lights from plants inside the cave.
My unblemished skin is also brighter than before.
It has been almost seven months inside this cave for me.
This time was longer than I thought and my progress with [Origin skill] was a lot slower than I expected.
I knew I was close to something, but reaching there without any help was harder than I thought.
I didn\'t go outside that much.
I had the duck, and I also hunted a black ear rabbit-like my first time.
All this time, all the things I came up with and the ideas that crossed my mind intrigued me.
This world was something very different from normal games and something deeper than just simple novels.
Understanding this world wasn\'t actually my goal, but understanding an important part of this \'nature\' was.
Sun was a lot of distinct entity here compared to my previous world\'s scientific models.
I didn\'t know if the answers I gave myself were right or if the questions themselves were right, but I had definitely reached a destination in the end.
Unlike last time when I broke through (tier-2), I wasn\'t alone this time.
I had a friend and companion.
But, there wasn\'t anything she could help in this as even she didn\'t know much about the [Origin] aside from her instinctive response to it.
But that also somewhat helped me.
And now... I had results before me.
Clearing the blood and washing with some (water), I called out \'screen\' with expectation-filled eyes.
