Come on! Come on! Shit! Leo hissed as his Essence around a small piece of wood evaporated. He had felt it, the pull of something trying to enter his soul. Yet, just when it seemed like the process worked, the entire technique shattered into pieces.

Okay… Don’t let the anger consume you, Leo. You are close now… Must be close after all those hours.

With a firm nod, he calmed his breathing and picked up the wooden piece again. Essence rushed out, enveloping the thing in a crimson cocoon. With another sharp tug, the energy tightened around the object.

Step one. Done. Next.

The energy of the cocoon slowly slipped into the wooden surface—deep enough to create an even stronger hold without destroying the object. Making a mistake here could lead to a disaster. This, he had learned the hard way when another piece of wood exploded into splinters in his hands.

Good that I’m not practicing with Crystalized Essence. Leo grimaced. Now, for the third and final step… Please work. I’m really running out of ideas.

The base of this particular plan came from Devour, or rather, the last step of it. A step that he now had to execute to perfection.

One. Two. Three.

At once, every single bit of Essence filling his body pulled at the energy enveloping the wooden object. Just like Devour did it, Leo led it back to his soul even as the glow around the item grew brighter and brighter.

The stronger the pull got, the harder the sea of Essence was to control. It begged to be unleashed, to be let out into the world, but he didn’t let it. He gritted his teeth, keeping 100 percent of his mind focused on the war of attrition.

The battle continued for minutes, maybe even longer, but then, something clicked. All of the Essence he possessed surged back into his soul, the glow in his hands fading. The System also acted, a notification springing into existence.

Leo ignored it and just looked down at his open palms.

“It’s gone,” he muttered. “Holy shit… I did it.”

However, before the euphoria could consume him, a single thought crossed his mind. Instantly, the smile on his face vanished.

Wait… How the hell do I get it out? System?! Hello?!

Right away, he summoned the System notification back, hoping for the usual rush of knowledge. Only, it never came, and he was left staring at the description of his new skill.

Shit…
