《Irregular Awakening》Chapter 03 - Learning the Basics
Advertisement
Sokar awakens from his dream in a cold sweat, his mind racing with uncertainty. Slowly he shifts his vision towards the back of his right hand, and the sight again sets his mind racing.
No way… That dream was actually real?
The Eye of Ra proudly lies on his hand, looking as if it had been there since the day he was born. Sokar quickly jumps out of his bed and runs into his bathroom, taking off his shirt and staring at a mirror on the wall. His eyes quickly locks onto his chest, where a brand of an ouroboros lies.
So all of that was actually real? This is hard to believe but… the evidence is all there. I need to calm down and think. That dream was real, nothing will change that. I should focus on what I was told. That voice, the spirit of the Jade said that I would receive supernatural abilities. Though, I don’t have any idea how to use them.
Sokar begins to go about his normal morning routine all the while mulling over how to use his ability. While he was lost in thought a cool feeling began to fill his body, which Sokar quickly took notice of.
This feeling, it’s filling my entire body! It’s like nothing I’ve ever felt before.
As the cool feeling begins to circulate throughout his entire body, the archaic voice from his dream echoes throughout Sokars head.
“Focus on the feeling flooding through your body, and try to direct it to one of the brands on your Gabody. That is how you will summon your power.”
That was the spirit of the jades voice! I’m lucky I haven’t left the house yet, I can test this out right away. I’ll start with the Eye of Ra.
Sokar begins to focus on the feeling inside his body, and then simply with a thought the feeling begins to move through his body towards the Eye of Ra. The feeling begins to funnel into the brand, and above Sokars hand a small ball of light the size of a fingernail forms.

Woah! It looks like the sun, and it’s putting off a bit of heat too. I don’t really think this could protect me though… Maybe if I put in some more it’ll change.
He begins to funnel more of the feeling into the brand and the ball of light begins to get bigger and bigger. After about half of the feeling enters the brand, the ball of light now the size of an apple explodes in a blinding flash of light.
GAH! What the hell!? Ugh… That came out of nowhere, there were no warning signs at all. I guess that could be useful, maybe? I probably won’t need a flashlight anymore, at the very least. Well, time to test out what the ouroboros can do.
Again Sokar begins to focus on the feeling on his body, this time making it move to the brand on his chest. The feeling funnels into the ouroboros and an invisible hand forms in front of him that’s the same size as his own. The hand grows until it’s about double its original size, and all of the original cool feeling had vanished.
This is incredible, even though I can’t see it with my eyes, yet I can tell that it’s in front of me. It feels like a third hand, and I think I can move it.
Sokar looks around the room, and spots a water bottle sitting on his living room table. The invisible hand begins to move, and it grabs the water bottle and lifts it, bringing it over to him.
It feels so natural to use it, it’s like I’ve had the ability to do this my whole life. All of that feeling from before is gone though, how can I replenish it.
After a minute the feeling returns, however it doesn’t spread out as much as before.

It’s back, but it doesn’t feel like there’s as much of it. Maybe if I wait it’ll come back?
After another 5 minutes the invisible hand disperses, and the water bottle it was holding falls to the ground.
I guess it has a time limit, that’s good to know. Well, as this feeling begins to replenish I should think about what these abilities are. I received two abilities, the First Day and Greed. My brands both represent one of my abilities. If I had to guess I’d say the First Day is represented by the Eye of Ra, considering that it created light when I funneled the feeling into it. And that would mean the ouroboros represents Greed. The only thing I really don’t know about is this feeling, what exactly is it? I don’t think the spirit of the jade will tell me, it probably would have already.
Time passes and the feeling continues to fill up his entire body, until eventually it reaches the same quantity as before.
It’s back to the same as before I used any of my abilities! It doesn’t feel like it’s increasing anymore though, is this the limit of how much I can have in my body at once? That took about two hours, I wonder if there’s any way to make it refill faster or increase the max amount I can have? Well, those are questions for later. What I should focus on now is… What exactly to call this feeling. Just calling it the feeling would sound weird, I should give it a proper name. Though what that name should be, I have no idea. Hmm… Both of the brands on my body are Egyptian in nature, so the name for this feeling should be Egyptian too. I guess the most suitable name would be Ka, the vital spark of the egyptian soul! That definitely sounds way better than just calling it the feeling.
Sokar continues to test out his abilities throughout the day, testing out exactly what he can do with his abilities. As he tests it out he learns that he can create multiple hands of Greed if he temporarily stops funneling his Ka into his brand and then continues after a moment. He also learns there’s no upper limit for greed, it can take all of his ka and will continue to grow in size unlike the First Day which has a limit. While Sokar continues to test the applications for his abilities, a man in a scarlet suit stands in the depths of Isolde city over a bloodied corpse with a look of disgust on his face.
“Having the audacity to exist in the same world as god with your level of purity... How disgusting! But now… I’ve saved you! Your life was a miserable existence yet you still cried out at the end as if you thought you had any value. Despicable, truly despicable! When will I find someone with worth…
