[They're not Eden Morton's affinities; they're your affinities, Neil Sullivan's affinities].
The system replied, delivering a revelation that sent a jolt through .
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
"What do you an they're my affinities?"
My uncertainty grew as I pressed.
Affinities were bodily traits, not soul attributes, and as an extraterrestrial entity forced into this world, I shouldn't have them.
[Your space affinity isn't like most—it's connected with your ti affinity, making a one-of-a-kind combination that makes it one single affinity rather than two separate affinities.]
"That doesn't answer my fucking question: how the fuck did I acquire them".
I asked again, this ti expressing my frustration and the urgency of my predicant.
Despite my interest in these amazing affinities, I was aware of the pressing issues at hand.
I'd been brought here by an unknown entity for a purpose, one I hoped to do without becoming a pawn. My unusual affinities provided a possible advantage as well as a threat, offering power while inviting control.
[Do you rember how much ti you spent flying across space?]
It asked in an impartial tone, as if my previous scream had no aning to it.
"Yes," I answered, clamming down and cooling my head with my palms.
[You unwittingly influenced a fragnt of space and ti during that ti. As your connection to space and ti increased, your soul grew stronger, and you unintentionally acquired these affinities.]
"What does that even an?"
I asked again, a little perplexed by its explanation.
[You weren't supposed to be conscious during your space travels. However, the years you spent in space unintentionally strengthened your soul. This adaptation to space and ti enabled you to understand these affinities on an inherent level, but it's vital to stress that your affinity isn't a result of the world's rules—it cos from the fabric of the universe itself.]
"So, it's my fault that I have more affinities than Eden from the ga."
I said this as I massaged my forehead.
[It is a result of your specific circumstances.]
The voice responded, accusing of everything.
"But I was struggling even to sleep there."
I responded that I was genuinely attempting to sleep there but couldn't for so reason.
[That is not my concern.]
My stillness was followed by my inability to grasp the more complex network of information that the system had disentangled.
[Don't think about it too much, host. It will be so ti before you can use your affinities properly.]
"Why?"
[Theoretically, your body needs 2-3 years to acclimatize before your affinity becos operational.]
"Why so long?"
[Let's get into the specifics of your affinity now.]
Those statents piqued my interest as I awaited an explanation of the particular features of my affinities.
[A standard space affinity allows for transit across spatial nodes while retaining a consistent temporal context. Your space-ti affinity, on the other hand, allows you to travel between spatial nodes with varied temporal intervals.]
"Essentially, I can ti travel—but only if I have a strong enough body to withstand the turbulence of space and ti disturbances that are unavoidable because I am interfering with ti and space." That's why you said I could use my affinity, but it's only theoretical, right?" I figured it out.
[Exactly.]
"It's overpowered, isn't it?"
[Yes, it is a significant advantage.]
"Of course, but there's a clause. What exactly is it?"
I sought the loophole, knowing that such powers would not be free.
[Energy—a considerable amount of energy is required. Similar to that of a star.]
"Because stars can disrupt the fabric of space and ti."
I posed, recalling how, while flying through space, the stars disrupted the fundantal nature of ti and space around them.
[Precisely.]
"So how do I acquire this 'star energy'?"
[You'll figure it out in ti.]
"Tch."
My thoughts raced through my mind, an abundance of possibilities and problems rushing forward.
[Are there any other questions for now?]
When the system asked, my thoughts shifted to the practicalities of my newfound abilities.
"Can I use my space and ti affinities separately?" I inquired, hoping for so flexibility.
[Yes.]
"That's a relief," I whispered as I collapsed into the bed, my body heavy with tiredness.
