Chapter 23: The Shell
He could not breathe and he was dying, but the nature of his new body ensured that his state of perishing would extend for a long duration.
It would take hours for him to die, but at least there was a silver lining. I an, he could now move around.
Although he could not afford to die anyti soon, he would lose a valuable lifespan, and he might have already used his final chance for resurrection.
His new state of detachnt made these assumptions distant from him, and he did not panic. There was a hint here that he was not seeing, he focused his mind and he realized an important detail he missed.
He had not been breathing inside the shell before, and he was fine what was the reason for that?
It did not take long for him to co up with the cause —The golden liquid. When he pushed soul point into Ouroboros, it had created more of that golden liquid for him. Did that not an that if he had more soul points, it would be possible for him to breathe?
Rowan called up the Primordial Record and nearly scread in anger because of the new state of his being.

Rowan's annoyance broke through his calm disposition, and he nearly scread at the sky.
Stay calm and breath …. breathe. Do not focus on the negatives. Don't look at the double amount of Soul Point required. Who cares about a journey of a thousand miles? We can walk two thousand miles..... Just breath.
Lord Are's sweet tush! No problem, great idea all around, just phenonal, but you see there is one problem with that, Em. I Can't BREATH!
Okay just, I don't know, sigh? We need to look at the positives here okay?
Positives. Positives. Yes. We can look at that. I must be going crazy, what with all this "We business" I got going over here.
Anything to keep you sane, boyo. Calm down and assess your situation.
Okay. He could do that.
The growing pains in his lungs ant he may have two hours or more before he beca lethargic.
In the spirit of using ti wisely, let's see what I missed in my panic. He saw the growth of his stats, and it did not take long for him to see a semblance of how it works, only further experints would prove if his inferences were incorrect.
He pushed twenty-eight points of souls into Ouroboros and was rewarded with an exact increase of 2.8 in the Constitution, it did not require a genius to figure that out, every ten points in Ouroboros gave him a one-point increase in his Constitution. What that could an further down the line was terrifying. His Strength and Agility grew by a single point, he guessed that they increased by every twenty points into Ouroboros.
The Bloodline had changed, with a new prefix beside it—Atavism. There was no description of its aning, but it had extended the amount of soul points he needed to be legendary.
Finally, the last valuable hint that had been tugging at his consciousness. His soul points. He watched idly as it clicked forward to .9999 and finally turned to 1.
Soul Seizer passively collected Soul Fragnts, and it appears that when he was in an area of conflict, the collection capability increased. He did not think too deeply about it but pushed the single point into Ouroboros, and waited in tense expectation. Soon, a trickle of golden liquid secreted from the skin–tight shell and was absorbed into his body.
The golden liquid brought a rush of clarity and gave his lungs a burst of sweet release that he nearly cried. The pressure began to build, but it was distant, he may have ten minutes before he began to feel the bite of suffocation once more.
Great. So that golden liquid is my amniotic fluid and without it, I am a stillborn.
"Well at least he now had mobility
