Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Chapter 254 253: Mystical Abilities of The Veinweaver's Dreamgrass

(Three days later)

In a beautiful and serene garden, a tall, buff, and handsome man sat in a cross-legged position. He had his eyes closed, and his breathing was so faint that if not for the rising and falling of the man's chest, one would think this handsome man with a peculiar aura had died while sitting in a meditation position.

This man was non other than Corey.

The day after the two weeks period was over, Corey immediately went into seclusion in Rosa's home so as to absorb the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass.

He did not want to wait for another day before his mana veins and poison infinity core was fully restored.

The feeling of powerlessness, and having to rely on another person for protection always left a bitter taste in Corey's mouth.

Due to his damaged mana veins, and poison infinity core, Corey had to rely on Rosa to protect him from harm, and although he trusted Rosa to a certain extent.

He still felt uncomfortable.

Especially when he knew what one could lose due to insufficient strength.

He had lost his family because he was weak, and he hated being weak.

Weakness… disgusted him.

Corey's first step to regaining hsi strength, and attaining more strength was the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass.

When Corey saw the Veinweaver Dreamgrass in the Emporium treasury, he was delighted.

Even Nina told him he was lucky when he found the herb.

The Veinweaver Dreamgrass was a herb that would even pique the interest of beings above the mystical realm.

Why?

Because, asides from healing the mana veins and mana core of an individual, it could give an individual an ability, or in extremely rare cases, two abilities.

Absorbing the magical essence of Veinweaver's Dreamgrass could grant an individual various mystical abilities related to mana manipulation and dreamlike qualities. The abilities that the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass ould give were:

Mana Weaving: The ability to manipulate mana threads, weaving them into protective barriers, energy constructs, or enhancing physical abilities.

Dreamwalk: The power to enter and explore the dreams of oneself or others, gaining insights, extracting information, or even influencing the dreamworld.

Illusory Camouflage: The capacity to blend seamlessly into one's surroundings by manipulating light and creating illusions, rendering oneself practically invisible.

Dream Healing: A healing ability that works on both physical and mental levels, allowing the individual to mend wounds, alleviate pain, and provide emotional comfort through dream-infused energy.

Temporal Perception: Enhanced perception of time, enabling the individual to slow it down or speed it up within a localized area, providing a tactical advantage in various situations.

Veinlink Communication: The power to establish a telepathic link with other beings, communicating thoughts and emotions through the manipulation of magical veins.

Memory Weave: The ability to manipulate and alter memories, either erasing or enhancing them, granting the individual control over their own or others' recollections.

Dreamfire Manipulation: Control over ethereal flames generated from the essence of dreams, which can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes.

Dimensional Rift Creation: The skill to create temporary portals or rifts between dimensions, allowing for swift travel or the manipulation of space.

Emotional Resonance: The capacity to influence the emotions of others by tapping into the dreamlike essence, instilling feelings of calm, joy, or fear as the user desired.

When an individual absorbed the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass, they would randomly gain one of the ten abilities or in extremely rare cases, two.

According to the book of alchemy given to him by the Paragon Ancestor, the ability one gained from the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass was completely random, and it depended on luck.

Or, sometimes, ones affinity to dream essence.

As for what dream essence was, Corey had no idea.

And Nina didn't bother telling him since he didn't need such unnecessary information.

Although, the abilities gotten from the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass were random, the number of abilities one could get from the herb was dependent on the potential and strength of one's body, and the strength of an individual's soul.

When Corey remembered this information, he was anticipating the number of abilities he would gain from the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass.

He had the best body in the entire universe. As for his soul, he wasn't sure.

Although, the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass had very powerful and mystical abilities, there was a certain aspect of the herb everybody hated.

The herb was extremely bitter, and the herb made a person experience their worst experiences.

When somebody absorbs the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass, the person would enter a place called the Nightmare Realm.

The person would keep on experiencing their worst experiences, along with extremely terrifying nightmares.

The stronger the individual, the stronger the nightmares.

The nightmares would not end until all the dream essence of the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass have been absorbed, or the individual wishes to exit the Nightmare Realm.

Although, one could exit the Nightmare Realm prematurely. If an individual exited the Nightmare Realm without absorbing at least 25% of the dream essence in the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass, that individual would experience tremendous mental and physical pain.

Also, the person would not gain any of the mystical abilities of the herb.

Unless the person had priceless treasures that could heal the mental and physical damage done to the individual, the person would essentially become a cripple, and probably mentally deranged.

Although, the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass had mouth-watering benefits, the repercussions of failure was worse than death.

Corey did not know, but he was incredibly lucky he found a mana vein healing herb like the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass.

The reason why such a priceless herb was left in the poorly protected treasury was because the appraisals the Emporium Manager- Calista, employed to appraise every object entering the treasury, thought the herb was a different herb.

The Veinweaver's Dreamgrass was so rare to the point that even some top tier forces that had leaders above the mystic realm had never heard of the herb before.

But Calista was an individual that chased knowledge with a fervent desire, and she definitely knew of a heaven- defying herb like The Veinweaver's Dreamgrass.

If Calista ever knew that a herb like the Veinweaver's Dreamgrass was right under...wait... on top of her nose. She would definitely slaughter every appraisal and Emporium guards she had hired for their absolute foolishness and incompetence.

Two more days went by, and the winds, waters, and earth trembled slightly as Corey opened a pair of eyes that had drastically changed.
