Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 46: Unknown energy

Renan, who had returned to his room after the training session with Gracen, sat on his bed, still buzzing with excitement. He had learned so many new things today, things he hadn’t even considered before. His mind was racing as he thought about the possibilities ahead of him.

’Huh, I can’t wait to grow strong enough to destroy mountains with a single punch, just like those anime guys in my previous life,’ he thought, his heart pounding with anticipation. The mere idea of possessing that kind of power thrilled him to no end.

But as his excitement continued to build, something suddenly popped into his mind, interrupting his daydream.

’Oh, right, I completely forgot to ask Father about the strange energies I feel inside my body.’

He immediately grew quiet, his excitement simmering down as he recalled the odd sensation he had experienced when sensing the mana inside him. It wasn’t something he understood yet, but it was there—an undeniable energy within him.

’Should I check them out?’ he asked himself, his curiosity piqued.

However, another thought quickly followed, making him hesitate.

’But it could be dangerous. After all, I already know this world isn’t as simple as it seems. A single mistake… That’s all it would take for me to die.’

The realization sent a chill down his spine. He had seen enough to understand that carelessness could be fatal.

’Yeah, I shouldn’t mess with it. I’ll just wait and ask Father when he comes back,’ he firmly decided, trying to push the thought aside.

But the more he tried to ignore it, the more the idea of checking it out nagged at him.

’Didn’t Father say that dormant mana inside me isn’t dangerous? And when I focused on those energies before, they felt… similar to mana, almost the same, just with something different about them.’

His logic wavered as he reconsidered the risk. If they were similar to mana, wouldn’t that mean they were harmless?

’So, it shouldn’t be dangerous, right?’ he reasoned, his initial hesitation beginning to fade.

The desire to understand what was inside him was strong. He had already resolved to grow stronger, and knowing his own body was a crucial part of that.

’I’ll just take a look… No touching,’ he finally decided, convincing himself that observing wouldn’t hurt.

With that resolution, he adjusted his position on the bed, sitting in a lotus position. He closed his eyes, blocking out the distractions of the room, and slowly allowed himself to focus inward.

It didn’t take long for him to sense it again.

’There it is…’ he thought as he located the mysterious energies.

Floating within him were two distinct balls of energy, hovering side by side. One glowed brilliantly with a golden hue, radiating a powerful yet serene warmth. The other was a swirling mass of every color imaginable, constantly shifting as if it couldn’t settle on a single form.

Renan’s breathing steadied as he continued to observe.

’What exactly is this?’ he wondered.

’One is golden, and the other is a mix of every color,’ he thought as he observed them closely, but it didn’t take long for him to sense something different about them.

’Hmm... They have elemental properties in them,’ he realized, his focus sharpening as he tried to distinguish the nature of these energies.

’The mixed one has every elemental property I know of, and the golden one... it feels different. It also seems to have elemental properties, but something about it is unfamiliar, like an unknown element I have never encountered before,’ Renan thought, continuing to analyze them.

’Those two energies feel like mana with different properties mixed in, yet there is still something else that makes it distinct from mana. It almost feels like pure mana... no, even purer than pure mana, almost as if it’s a higher form of mana itself,’ he concluded in his mind.

His instincts told him these energies were not dangerous, and a thought crossed his mind. ’Should I try moving them?’ He hesitated. There was no sense of threat, no ominous feeling emanating from them—if anything, they felt deeply connected to his very existence.

’No, let’s not. Who knows what might happen? It’s better to ask Father before doing anything with them,’ he decided, playing it safe. He took one last glance at the floating balls of energy, preparing to withdraw his senses from them, but just as he was about to, something changed.

A strange sensation washed over him—like a silent call, a whisper he could not hear but could feel. His attention snapped back to the golden energy, and in that moment, it was as if the energy itself was compelling him to touch it, an irresistible pull, almost hypnotic in nature.

Renan clenched his fists, fighting the temptation with all his willpower, but it was not enough. That final push, that subtle urging was all it took. Against his better judgment, he reached out and touched it.

The instant his fingers made contact, his entire body erupted in golden light. A surge of warmth, almost like fire, coursed through him.

"Huh?" he muttered in confusion, his eyes snapping open as an intense heat spread throughout his body. The energy did not harm him, but it felt overwhelming, all-consuming, as though something deep within him was responding to it.

"I shouldn’t have touched it," he muttered, regret flashing in his mind, but it was already too late. The entire room glowed in a brilliant golden hue, illuminating everything.

Meanwhile, Namari, who had been walking toward Renan’s room after her conversation with Belinda, suddenly stopped in her tracks. Sensing an unfamiliar energy washed over her senses. Her sharp instincts immediately went on high alert.

’Huh? What is that energy?’ she thought, her eyes narrowing. It was unlike anything she had ever felt before. Strong, raw, and yet oddly familiar.

Without hesitation, she increased her pace, her casual steps turning into a sprint. In the blink of an eye, she reached Renan’s room and forcefully pushed open the door.

"Renan! Where are you? What was that energy?" she asked, her sharp eyes scanning the room for him.

But what she saw stopped her dead in her tracks.

Standing in the center of the room was not the Renan she knew. Instead, there was a fox child, seemingly the same age as Renan, with black hair and golden eyes, staring at her with an almost hypnotic gaze.

Namari froze, her mind racing to make sense of what she was seeing. Her confusion lasted only a second before it was replaced with something else—anger.

Her expression darkened, and she clenched her fists as she took a step forward, her voice turning sharp and demanding.

"Who are you?"
