Chapter 269: A Leisurely Day
Reivyn got a good night’s sleep. Even though he had apparently been in a coma for nearly a week, his body was still hale and hearty. His mind was taxed from the vision and stress it had been through, though he had no recollection of the events that caused his mind to break, necessitating the System to step in and fix it directly.
He had never seen a situation where the System took direct action other than the very few times it had run into apparently novel situations. Like the time he had been separated from the Veridical Realm’s System, implying each Realm had their own governing System, but the language of the Notifications indicated there were protocols in place this time around.
More and more evidence showed that the System wasn’t some passive thing. It appeared to actively monitor situations and had directives it followed. It could manipulate the Veridical Affinity, and possibly other Affinities as well. The Veridical Affinity seemed to be the bedrock upon which all other types of Mana sat, at least within the Veridical Realm.
Reivyn woke up refreshed and ready to go. He turned his Divine Sense Skill on as soon as he got up. I’ll have to get used to taking a more active role in its utilization. Until now it’s been completely passive.
He “saw” his father already awake and preparing a simple breakfast. His mother and sisters were still asleep as the sun had not fully crested the horizon. There was no reason to wake them. They weren’t part of the physical training he and Refix partook in everyday.
He made his way downstairs where Refix silently slid a plate of breakfast toward him, nodding for him to eat.
“It’s good to see you ready to get back into the swing of things,” Refix said.
“What else would I do?” Reivyn asked back. “Sleep? Hah! To me it hasn’t been several days without training, so it’s just a normal morning to me, anyway.”
“Makes sense,” Refix nodded his head as he ate.
