Chapter 28 Regaining Awareness
In Kailey's soul space, the Existence greedily absorbed the mana in the space. Using the mana it absorbed, the Existence began to form what it believed to be a body it could inhabit. In reality, the Existence was unconsciously reassembling its memories by using Kailey's incomplete soul fragments as the blueprints. While the Existence continued to absorb the mana from the unknown source, it sensed an anomaly—the source of the mana it fed on had slightly changed.
The Existence didn't pay much attention to this change because it couldn't retain complex thoughts. However, it suddenly flinched when the world exploded with flashes of scenes depicting a father and a son working the field, a man in knights' armor with a contingent of other knights fighting wolf-like beasts. While absorbing the strange new mana, the scenes that played in its head became more varied, and emotions started flowing into the scenes, causing them to last longer and become more vivid and clear. The memories it saw were few, but they exponentially grew in number as it began absorbing more of the strange mana that had flooded into this space. The scenes that filled the spirit-like Existence intrigued it.
The inherent instincts of the spirit-like Existence yearned to discover more memories. The only way it knew how to witness more scenes of memories was to absorb more mana and consume more fragments that fell into its small realm. With each absorption and consumption, the scenes became more diverse. It continued this uninterrupted action, solely absorbing mana and consuming the fragments. Eventually, it witnessed the most vivid scene it had ever seen before and the most heavenly voice it had ever heard before resonating throughout the space. "I am Aleshia, a magician who wields the powers of the elements - an Elemental Witch, you could say. Since I have introduced myself, what is your name, little miss?"
The memory bestowed its name upon the Existence. With its newfound identity, the memories scattered in the sky experienced a surge in vibrancy and color. They extended delicate threads that connected to the Existence, now named Aleshia. These threads anchored the being, imparting thoughts, a voice, and a purpose. The will of the memories bestowed a new grandiose goal, filling the space with an imposing atmosphere.
Aleshia, who had just been an unaware beast with no consciousness moments ago, now had awareness. She immediately began observing her surroundings upon regaining consciousness to understand the situation. Then she remembered what had happened before all this happened. She tried to speak to collect her thoughts but found herself unable to. She tried to move but found herself unable to. When she looked down, she found only sky and white space. She soon realized she had no legs, torso, arms, or anything beneath her!
