Ding!
[Due to the effects of the Mystic Vial, the remnant energies from the True Rebirth Pill have been awakened, causing its effects to rise once more.]
[You have gained the following stats: +20 VIT, +20 STR, +20 AGI, +20 DEX, +20 INT, +20 WIS, +20 PER, and +20 LUK.]
"So, it's called the Mystic Vial, huh…" Reading through the first few notifications he had gained from consuming the vial's contents, Valyr raised his eyebrows in surprise after finding out that the vial did complement the pill's effects.
Though, if he thought about it, it would be more correct to say that the vial had enhanced the pill's effects even further, considering that he had gained an additional 20 points each on all of his stats.
However, that was not all.
[Due to the effects of the Mystic Vial, you have gained 2 points to Mana Purity.]
[Due to the effects of the Mystic Vial, you have gained 2 points to Vigor.]
'Even the hidden stats have been improved by the vial.' Continuing to read through the notifications he had gotten, Valyr soon came across the ones that talked about his unlocked hidden stats gaining points.
"All in all, I gained 100 points each on all stats, as well 5 points to both Mana Purity and Vigor because of this vial." Faintly wondering how much 5 points in both hidden stats would affect his journey into the inheritance that he and the others would be exploring next week, a faint smile crept up onto the young man's lips as he moved onto the remaining notifications on his screen.
"…huh. I guess this was what Mystia was talking about."
[Due to the effects of the Mystic Vial, you have gained an affinity towards the Mystic Plane, grabbing the attention of its Overseer.]
[The Overseer wonders for a bit as to why you have the energy of its Saintess, yet it decides not to inquire any further, knowing what the Saintess wants it to do.]
[You have gained the recognition of the Mystic Plane, allowing you to use its energy as if it were your own.]
[You have gained the passive skill 'Mystic Energy Empowerment'.]
[You have gained the passive skill 'Mystic Energy Vessel'.]
[You have gained the active skill 'Basic Mystic Energy Manipulation'.]
Slightly scratching his head as he read through this series of notifications, Valyr more or less understood what was going on, thinking about his experience with Noel in the Shadow Plane.
"In a way, this is similar to the process on how I obtained Shadow Energy," murmured the young man to himself, visualizing what had possibly happened to him while he was unconscious. "However, unlike with Shadow Energy, I didn't have to consume a corresponding item, nor did I have to enter the corresponding plane to obtain its recognition."
"Guess that has a lot to do with the Overseer and the Saintess these notifications are talking about, huh." Taking a look at the notifications once more, it did not take long for him to gain an idea of who or what the Overseer and the Saintess was, basing it off from the knowledge he had gained from visiting the Shadow Plane.
With that, Valyr easily came to the conclusion that the Overseer would be none other than the Mystic Plane's founder and creator, as well as the one who gets to decide who and what has access to the Mystic Plane's energy, aptly named Mystic Energy.
On the other hand, considering that she was the one who had given the item to him, it only made sense for the young man to think that Mystia was the Saintess of the Mystic Plane, wondering how she had obtained such a title in the first place.
'Is she the first one to discover the Mystic Plane or something…?' thought the young man to himself, feeling like only a feat similar to that would allow one to be granted such a level of authority.
Pondering about it even further, he then wondered if Noel had a similar title like that in the Shadow Plane, recalling that he had introduced the existence of Shadow Energy to many people.
"Hmm…" Rubbing his chin as he wondered whether or not to contact Mystia again, Valyr eventually decided to contact her the following day, even though he had told himself that he would contact her once he was done consuming both items.
Though he had a feeling that the woman had set some time aside for him so they could talk about the Mystic Energy he had just unlocked, Mystia's words of her being an Imperial Alchemist and an imperial adviser lingered in the young man's mind, prompting him to think that such time would be better off completing tasks related to those.
With that, he grabbed the crystal he used to contact Mystia earlier and placed it inside his spatial bracelet, only to then grab the now-empty vial as he made his way out of the private room he had occupied. While doing so, he commanded the system to bring up the descriptions of the three skills he had gained, deciding to satiate his curiosity with Mystic Energy through it for the meantime.

[Mystic Energy Empowerment] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: Rare+
You have gained access to a type of energy that many people sought to claim as their own, touting its capabilities to make the impossible possible, to make the unreal real, and to make the unbelievable believable. With this energy, feats that would normally be difficult to achieve with mana, will now be simple, expanding your abilities to nigh-infinity.
This skill increases the efficacy of techniques under [Basic Mystic Energy Manipulation] by 30%.
[Mystic Energy Vessel] (Lv. MAX)
Rarity: ???
Mystic Energy: 1/1
Grade: Impure (Common)
A myriad of energies exist throughout the universe. Some of these energies are attuned towards such as destruction, such as Chaos Energy, while some of these energies could be attuned to go both ways, such as Primordial Mana.
Mystic Energy is a type of energy that is attuned towards creation, a type of energy that one could only make contact with through the Mystic Plane, a plane that hails from ancient times. Due to its ancient origin, it is a type of energy that's highly sought after by many beings throughout the ages, all of them touting its capabilities of making the impossible possible, the unachievable achievable.
Thanks to the blessing of the Mystic Plane's Saintess, you have gained the recognition of the Mystic Plane from the Overseer itself, allowing you to tap into this energy as if it were an extension of your limbs.
This skill allows the user that has been recognized to improve the amount and quality of the Mystic Energy they control, eventually giving them the ability to achieve more things with the energy.
This skill also allows the user to tap into Mystic Energy at any time, not needing to form a connection with the Mystic Plane anymore whenever the user wishes to do so. This skill also allows the user to store a small amount of Mystic Energy within their bodies, which could be improved by absorbing Mystic Energy from the plane itself, or by slaying beings of the Mystic Plane.

[Basic Mystic Energy Manipulation] (Lv. 1/10)
Rarity: Common
Mystic Energy. A type of energy that many people believe to make the impossible possible, to transform make-believe into reality.
This skill allows the user to harness and utilize the power of Mystic Energy in all sorts of ways, gaining the ability to have Mystic Energy take on a tangible form, as well as manipulate the energy into whatever form the user sees fit.

Conversion rate between Mystic Energy and the resulting element depends on the element chosen, the amount of Mystic Energy available, as well as the quality of Mystic Energy used. Cooldown: 10 minutes. Cost: 2,500 MP.>
'In other words, Mystic Energy is the exact opposite of Shadow Energy in terms of purpose.' Closing up the screens he had brought up, Valyr inwardly nodded in understanding after he was finished reading through the skills' descriptions. 'If Shadow Energy was a type of energy whose origin is the concept of destruction, then Mystic Energy's origin would be that of creation.'
"Then again, the first skill that allows me to use Mystic Energy actively already makes that concept obvious," muttered the young man to himself, walking through the corridors of the auction house as he made his way to the exit.
"However, I wonder if this energy would truly allow me to make the impossible possible at some point," asked Valyr to himself not long after, thinking about how amazing it would be to create items out of thin air.
At some point, he also thought about the possibility of using the energy to resurrect the dead back to life, though he soon discarded the thought, thinking that it had nothing to do with the concept of creation anymore.
'In any case, I guess I'll only be able to head to the Mystic Plane and increase my Mystic Energy once I talk with Mystia more about it.' Placing his thoughts regarding Mystic Energy to the back of his mind for the meantime, Valyr eventually arrived at the auction house's entrance, only to find that Julian was already there waiting for him.
