The Irregular In ATG

Eidos refers to individual information body. It is the place where everything about an entity's physical self was stored. This was also the domain in which Tatsuya specializes at, to the point that no one could come near when it comes to his ability to tamper with this domain.

While, that was the storage for physical information about an entity, Tatsuya hypothesized that there should be a place where the ethereal forms or souls of entity are stored into, and that is the mythical Quintessential Domain / Dimension.

There was only one time where Tatsuya had the chance to encounter this dimension, and unfortunately he encountered it while he was mentally dead. He could recall the encounter using his innate magic, Regrowth, but the essence of personally facing or entering the dimension would be forever lost.

Tatsuya felt regretful over the fact that he doesn't have any access to that dimension. His only key at the moment was Xia Qingyue's rare oddity that was hiding within her body, and that was the Heart of Snow Glazed Glass.

But, there was no time thinking about that now, that was what Tatsuya thought. He had already experimented the creation of his new innate ability, Eidos Modification. Normally, for Tatsuya to create an innate ability just like Baryon Lance, he would need an inspiration and enough information. At the moment, all Tatsuya had are the information that could allow him to create the ability.

He was trying to make up for the inspiration through experimentation. However, it seemed that whatever method or process he tried, it just wouldn't work out.

"Sigh, I should just stop this worthless approach. It seems that I have reached a bottleneck."

Tatsuya tapped the table while he sat on the chair situated before the table. The tapping sound endlessly echoed across the room in which he occupied. It was already night, but he wasn't still able to advance and pierce through the wall that was preventing him from creating his new ability.

(Irritation. I hadn't expected that I would ever even feel this emotion. As expected, it's really irritating to fail every single time, eh. Now, I understand why those magicians in the past would always grumble when failing.)

Tatsuya thought to himself, as he continued to tap the table. He was pondering on what he must do next, since he couldn't make any progress in the making of his new innate ability.

(Sigh, I should just go out for a walk and relax for a little bit, or else I'll really get stressed out at this rate…)

Deciding to go out for a walk, Tatsuya slowly stood up, as the tapping sound within his room completely ceased. The peaceful night descended on the room, as Tatsuya slowly left the place through the door. He walked through the hallway and picked up some sounds.

"What is…?"

He mumbled to himself, as he opted to follow the sound. He slowly walked through the hallway, as he leisurely followed where the source of the sound lies. After more than a minute of walking, he finally arrived in the courtyard of Xia Clan.

What lied on the courtyard was a random man practicing his sword skills. Tatsuya felt interested, as it was the first time that he would see someone practice, and not Xia Qingyue nor Xia Yuanba.

*Wooosh*

*Bang!*

*Bzzt!*

Different sounds appeared and entered Tatsuya's ears, as he just quietly watched the man practice his skills and profound arts. The man already noticed Tatsuya watching himself, but he blatantly ignored Tatsuya, and just practiced.

Gradually, without Tatsuya even noticing the peculiarity about himself, his eyes were completely focused on the man's moves and form. The focus in which Tatsuya experienced surpassed the level of humanly level, as something heavenly seemed to have helping him.

Tatsuya was experiencing something that any cultivator would be envy of. It was the state in which every single existence within this world would kill for.

A series of unhurried footstep appeared in the courtyard, as a beauty with peerless grace appeared. She was Xia Qingyue. She immediately noticed the immobile Tatsuya that was standing like an idiot.

"Hello, madam Qingyue…"

"Mm. Continue your practice…"

The man who was practicing noticed Xia Qingyue out of the corner of his eyes, as he hurriedly cupped his fists and slightly bowed at the beauty. Xia Qingyue only nodded in response and advised the man to continue his training.

(What is that man doing?)

Xia Qingyue inwardly asked herself, as she stared at the immobile Tatsuya. She tried to reach out for Tatsuya, as her hands gradually approached Tatsuya. However, her snow-white hands were stopped by an another jade-like hands.

"Master?!"

"Shh. Quiet, Qingyue."

A woman who was taller than Xia Qingyue suddenly appeared in the courtyard, yet the man who was practicing was completely unaware of her presence. Only the people who were authorized by the woman could see her.

The woman's vermillion lips and long graceful black hair emanated a charm of her its own uniqueness. Her elegance would make every single person declare that she was an angel who descended into mortal plane. She looked like a fairy and was undeniably very beautiful. Her name is Chu Yueli.

"That man… do you know him, Qingyue?"

"Why do you ask, Master?"

"That man is currently experiencing the state of enlightenment…"

"What?!"

"Shh. Quite, Xia Qingyue."

Xia Qingyue had her eyes widened out of extreme shock. Surely depending on her expression, she knew what 'enlightenment' meant. It was something that allowed a cultivator access the state of extreme comprehension, and would basically boost that cultivator's chance to breakthrough in cultivation or in practicing an art.

"But…"

"I know what you want to say, Qingyue. That man… has monstrous comprehension. I don't know how he did it, but since he's crippled. His talent in that field is useless…"

"I see…"

For some reason, Xia Qingyue felt a little relieved. Her master, Chu Yueli saw her attitude and only looked at her with an emotionless gaze. Chu Yueli turned her gaze again at Tatsuya, as an imperceptible envy flashed within her eyes, but it soon vanished.

It was at this moment that Tatsuya's slender yet tall body shuddered once. Chu Yueli's presence vanished into thin air, as Xia Qingyue hid herself out of reflex. Although, Chu Yueli already vanished from Xia Qingyue's gaze, she knew that her master was still standing beside her.

They both watched Tatsuya ran to his room in haste, as Xia Qingyue opted to follow the guy. But, she was once again stopped by her master.

"Qingyue, don't be like that. I'm sure that you will also experience that state. There's no need to feel obsess over someone who would be forever cripple…"

"…Mm…"

Xia Qingyue felt that her teacher was quite right, as she nodded her head, and instantly tossed aside the idea of following Tatsuya. Chu Yueli smiled at her disciple, as she felt quite satisfied that she was able to dissuade Xia Qingyue.

God knows how wrong they were…

…

"This is funny. Very funny!"

Upon entering his own room, Tatsuya immediately locked and closed the door. A self-mocking smile escaped from his lips, as Tatsuya laughed. He was currently experiencing different emotions, but it was mostly positive.

"So, that was the reason why I was failing in creating my innate ability! So, that's why!"

"I was a fool for not noticing such a simple fact. Really, haha."

"This world isn't that world anymore whereas everything revolves around magicians. This world revolves around cultivators that could split apart any mountain and even skies."

Tatsuya's self-mocking words continuously left his mouth, as the smile continued to hung on his face. At this moment, Tatsuya was experiencing emotions that he was stripped of in the past.

"I don't need to create Magic Sequence any more, just like how I created some magic in the past. In this world, magic sequence or psions are useless."

"What I need is to directly contemplate on how I will make the Eidos Modification's concept and power, mine!"

The moment Tatsuya said that very specific fact, the psions within his body unceasingly vibrated, as every single psions that was sleeping within his body condensed and moved into Tatsuya's chest part. They occupied very little space, as it lied docilely and peacefully in that small space.

[Eidos Modification, Activate.]

Tatsuya manually activated his new innate ability, Eidos Modification. This specific innate magic now completely followed a very different path compared to his other abilities. This was his innate ability that worked using the concept of profound chants.

Using the information that he had initially gathered through luck and effort was now being assimilated and condensed into a single huge body of information. And that huge information body was the very concept of his innate ability, Eidos Modification.

If everything about physical information about an entity lied within the Eidos. Then, the Eidos Modification allows Tatsuya to completely modify every single thing about his physical body, from surface to atomic level.

And, after a few minutes, the huge information body stood still. Tatsuya's new innate ability, Eidos Modification was completely functional.

"Whooo…"

Tatsuya heaved a sigh of relief, as beads of sweat could be found on his body. It was the exhaustion that was effect of the heavy process that had undergone within his mind. However, Tatsuya wasn't planning on stopping now.

(Finally was able to completely the first step. But now, I need to finish the last step and gain my own profound veins…)

He inwardly thought to himself, as his innate ability, Eidos Modification, was still running. His indifferent eyes was soon replaced with a determined eyes. At the moment, Tatsuya completely oozed out extreme amount of confidence and determination…
