Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 214: Path of Control (2)

The once empty and lonely room now had beautiful, expansive landscapes behind it that shouldn't be there.

It was not just a landscape. There were green and white forests, sea, and even volcanoes. It seemed like a surreal scenario, but everything these landscapes could give off reached both.

Even the smell of the sea or the fire from the volcanoes. fгeewebnovёl.com

"This... Is this my Father's God Controller?" he asked in shock. His father nodded, taking everything away and bringing it all towards a small ball in his hand, resembling a planet.

"I am controlling everything physical that exists. How far you can go will depend on your mind and ability. To reach this level, controlling your power internally is paramount. Then you can learn to control the outside."

"Father, if the Controlling God is the second level, how about the third level? You had told me the name of the God Controller, but you never told me anything about the third level." Asked the little boy, who was still sitting, looking at the ball in his father's hand.

"The root of Control is Controlling your power, isn't it?"

"That's right, Father."

"The root is the deepest thing, too." His father replied a vague answer he hadn't expected to receive.

His father knew, so he smiled and walked toward him.

"Once you reach the deepest level, you'll be able to understand what it means. But I'll give you a hint where you can start looking to reach this level." He lightly put a hand on his shoulder.

From one moment to the next, the small young man standing there began to feel the world grow smaller before his eyes. It was a strange feeling.

'What is it?' He thought and looked down.

Then, he could see his body stretch before his father's hand. That scared and shocked him, but then his father's voice came to him.

"You can control reality; that is the highest level on the Path of Control. Follow the path, and you can understand it." His father replied and allowed his son to see the world from this new height he had gained.

But after a few seconds of shock, he returned him to his original height and, in one motion, appeared in the doorway.

"My son, you must remember that you are the Heir of who I am. In the future, you must be prepared for everything. Fortify yourself well, but also enjoy a time that will not return. Follow your father's advice, and you can reach unimaginable heights." After saying this, the tall man walked out the door with a shake and disappeared from perception.

The young man inside was still pensive. Something in his father's words seemed out of place, but he could not understand why. At last, he sighed and went to sit down.

But his mind became clouded from one moment to the next, and he fell backward...

...

When Matt awoke, he was once again engulfed in confused thoughts that prowled his mind like a torrent of powerful energies. They pounded on every side of his head and made him feel confused.

It was a little strange what was happening.

'What is all this? Who is that man?' He kept trying to figure out what he had just seen, but nothing in his mind could answer him.

Soon, he stood up, slightly confused about seeing a different environment.

Everything upstairs and on the sides was dark, which was strange to him. Still, there were four strange paths in front of him. Only those paths were illuminated in a light silver color in this immense darkness.

It wasn't glowing, but it could be clearly seen from any distance.

Matt looked up in confusion; four different words were floating above the four paths.

-Control.

-Deception.

-Perception.

-Destruction.

'The Four Paths?' Deep inside, Matt felt he had to choose one of those four paths.

A specialization or maybe a momentary apprenticeship, but right now, he needed to choose one of the four.

That left him more confused than he had already been this whole time.

'Aren't they the Four Paths that man was talking about just now? The book says them too...' He looked at each path before him, thinking deeply about what they might mean.

Still, he soon turned his gaze back to the Path of Control.

'Not only does it seem to be the main one, but it's also the one that man explained in detail... Could it be that it's real everything he said?'

At this moment, various thoughts crossed his mind: about Reagan Cooper, about the old man in the library, about some books he had read, and later, about some books he had found in the Second Academy library when he was trying to understand more about control.

'I see. That's why the old man at the library told me to walk the path mentioned in that book. Although it's not explained too much in the library books, there's still enough information to walk it...

If what that man said just now is true, then it's possible that Reagan Cooper is in the beginning stages of this path; although I haven't seen him fight, I always get the feeling that he can do more things than meets the eye.' Matt thought, realizing this.

At this point, he had realized several things, but according to everything he knew, you couldn't travel all roads at once —or at least that's what Reagan Cooper told him.

But if he thought about it carefully, the feeling the man had given him a moment ago was one of overwhelming power. Reagan Cooper could very well be a child in the face of such a powerful presence. So, it would make sense that this man knew more information than Reagan Cooper did.

There were several things he needed to think about before choosing a path and the first of those was, why should he choose? Why not travel all of them at once? But that question was answered immediately when he remembered the man he had seen a moment ago.

He said that walking all four paths was necessary but that taking it one step at a time was best. Although he didn't know who he was, Matt felt deep in his soul that he could trust him.

That answered his question. So Matt started walking towards those paths, choosing one of them quickly.

'Come to think of it, without knowing it, I had already been trying to do that thing that man said... Seems like it wasn't bad, after all.' He remembered when he had been trying to control his power months ago when he would fight that Alumnus with over 5,000 power in the battle of halls.

That made him feel more confident that this was the path he should tread.

But as soon as he stepped on the path he wanted, his mind clouded over, and his consciousness disappeared.
