Power of Runes-Chapter 393: Singularity
[An almost heaven defying transformation has begun with the user’s body as the core.]
[The physical body has entered a state that does not exist within any recorded biological, spiritual, or conceptual evolution path related to any living being.]
[All physical structures inside the Host have dissolved into pure primal matter, losing their previous form and structural identity.]
[All energies have lost separation and are merging into a single converging center, abandoning their original distinctions.]
[All internal matter and energy have collapsed into a single convergence point, compressing into one unified existence.]
[Atomic boundaries have disappeared, removing the separation that once maintained stable matter.]
[Subatomic structures have begun merging into unified existence threads, forming deeper foundational strands beyond conventional particles.]
[A Singularity has been born with the body as the core.]
[The Singularity is consuming mass, energy, rune authority, and existence itself, drawing everything inward to sustain its formation.]
[Density has reached a level capable of bending space and fracturing time perception, causing distortions in spatial and temporal flow.]
[Dark matter layers have formed naturally to prevent premature collapse, stabilizing the immense internal pressure.]
[Radiation pressure is rising toward irreversible ignition as compressed energy continues to accumulate.]
[....]
[....]
[....]
[....]
[Critical threshold has been crossed.]
[The Singularity has detonated into an Origin Expansion, releasing its compressed essence outward.]
[Plasma composed of raw creation energy is spreading outward, carrying unstable fragments of primordial existence.]
[Fragments of primal universal laws are being born within the expansion, forming incomplete governing principles.]
[Minimum Expansion limit has been reached.]
[Reversal has begun.]
[All released energy, radiation, matter, and dark substance are collapsing back toward the singularity, undergoing violent reintegration.]
[Heart Formation has initiated.]
[The original biological heart concept has been erased, as it is no longer compatible with the Host’s state.]
[A self sustaining universal heart is being constructed, designed to function as an independent core of energy and existence.]
[The heart operates through continuous cycles of collapse and rebirth, mimicking universal creation.]
[...]

[The internal universe remains incomplete.]
[Dark matter distribution is unstable, creating irregular gravitational disturbances.]
[Radiation storms continue forging permanent energy laws inside the forming Heart.]
[If stabilization succeeds, Host will possess an independent and ever evolving energy source.]
[If stabilization fails, Host existence will collapse completely.]
[Reconstruction in progress...]

Ash had no words to describe how he was feeling right now. Should he be angry? Depressed? Happy? Sad? Thrilled? So many emotions brushed past his mind, yet none of them stayed long enough to truly settle within him or take a clear shape.
Ash had no idea what he was supposed to feel, so he stared at the notifications with an impassive gaze, his eyes quietly scanning the glowing words while his mind remained strangely calm, almost as if it had grown tired of reacting to things that were far beyond normal understanding.
At this point, Ash had become too used to surprises, threats, and dangers that always seemed to surround him, appearing even in moments when he believed he had finally reached some peace. Every unexpected event now felt less like a shock and more like an unavoidable step in his path.
In reality, Ash was changing too much, both inside and outside, and it was becoming harder and harder for him to find anything that could truly stir his emotions.
Each overwhelming experience seemed to slowly smooth out his reactions, leaving behind a deep and quiet stillness that even he could not properly explain.
If someone were to say that the Soul Tree within his soul was a Mythical Treasure of existence, hell, Ash would believe even that, because he had already witnessed too many impossible things to doubt such a claim.
At this point, his mindset had become strangely indifferent to most things like life and death, and he found himself observing everything as if he were standing slightly away from it, watching events unfold rather than being completely consumed by them.
Well, looks like that energy that I saw was the first light that was released from the explosion of singularity...
I remember writing about the formation of my heart, and it was somewhat similar. Though there are many variations present here, true....but most of it is same...almost...
Ash carefully analyzed all the information he could gather from the texts in front of him, reading each notification slowly and trying to connect them with the vague memories and sensations left behind by his experience.
After all, he was still not able to see outside and could not perceive his own body, making these messages the only reliable source that could help him understand what had truly happened to him.
After going through everything, Ash quietly closed his status window.
Well, it will be fine, I guess the destabilization is either because the environment was not suitable for the formation of a miniature universe, but I cant say for sure after all I have no idea what environment is suitable for it...
Or the other reason could be because my imagination was just too wild, maybe? I don’t know. Or may be because there was some other issue that I have no idea of...
Ash had no idea how he could stabilize his situation. His hands were tied, and he could do nothing. Even if he somehow gained the ability to interfere, he still lacked the knowledge required to act correctly.
So, after weighing his helplessness and the lack of any clear solution, he simply decided to ignore the problem itself, knowing that worrying without action would only waste his focus.
And left it to fate.
I hate leaving anything to fate, but alas.....sometimes life just plays with your feelings, and you could do nothing but just enjoy the show....
With a self deprecating laugh that carried both resignation and faint acceptance, he appeared back inside the Dark Space, surrounded by all the Runes that floated silently around him like ancient watchers observing his return.
He had earlier decided to take a break for a year, believing that stepping away from the relentless strain of Rune comprehension would allow his soul to recover properly.
However, after seeing the information regarding his body and the unpredictable transformation taking place, he decided to end the break much earlier than planned. And his soul was stronger than before, so it will be fine he guessed.
Three months of break was enough for him.
In fact, he wanted to keep himself busy so that nothing could distract or disturb his thoughts. Rune comprehension was the only thing that could fully occupy his focus and suppress the uneasiness lingering in his mind.
He checked the Total Rune Comprehension before beginning, wanting to clearly understand his current progress before continuing forward.

[Rune Comprehension]
Rune of Space - 0.000000772% (0/25,920 glyph)
Rune of Truth - 0.4227% (110/25,920 glyph)
Rune of Balance - 0.000000386% (0/25,920 glyph)
**
The numbers were pathetically low. He had not even achieved 1% comprehension of Rune of Truth. Ash simply smiled bitterly while looking at those absurdly small percentages, feeling the weight of the long path that still stretched endlessly before him.
Well, it was not his fault, to be honest. In reality, Ash was simply that weak compared to beings who had walked this path before him.
His only true specialty was that he was tenacious and fearless. He was never afraid to put in effort, and he never gave up easily, even when progress felt painfully slow.
The comparison between the Demon King’s comprehension and Ash’s comprehension was simply too different, almost like comparing two entirely separate levels of existence.
Ash was weak. He did not have his body and was using only his soul to comprehend and bear the burden that came with understanding the Runes. The process demanded endurance that pushed the limits of spiritual stability, and each attempt placed tremendous strain on him.
Souls were inherently fragile compared to physical vessels, which was why he always fell unconscious after every attempt. Of course, this problem could have been easily salvaged if his Soul Library was of a higher rank, which could only be achieved through the comprehension of Runes.
It was a deadlock.
There was nothing Ash could do. If merely glimpsing at a Rune forced him into unconsciousness, he simply did not possess the strong soul, body, or rank that the Demon King possessed. Because of that limitation, he could not dedicate as much continuous time to Rune comprehension as the Demon King could.
But if Ash were placed in the Demon King’s position, it was almost guaranteed that his comprehension speed would not be this slow. His persistence and mental endurance would have allowed him to advance much faster under proper conditions.
Ash then summoned a clock and carefully set a timer. He wanted to confirm whether his soul being strengthened had affected his durability and resistance against the overwhelming knowledge carried by the Runes.
With the timer set, Ash’s eyes turned golden, their glow deepening as he directed his focus toward the Rune once again. Soon, the familiar wave of pressure crashed into his consciousness, and he fell unconscious as the Soul Library trembled under the massive influx of knowledge pouring into it like an endless flood.
Time passed...
And before long, Ash opened his eyes.
The first thing he did was check the time, and upon seeing the result, a genuine smile slowly blossomed across his face, carrying a quiet satisfaction that he could not hide.
