The eyes of the dark sclera humans.

It gave them the ability to see the entire electromagnetic spectrum, revealing to their eyes the boundless secrets of the universe.

Alex had those very same eyes he could turn on or off whenever he desired, but he never made it a habit.

For whatever reason, he kept this part of his abilities to himself. He wasn''t sure why he did what he did, he just did it.

But that was beside the point as he had the ability to see his surroundings the whole time. Because of his current situation, the ability had escaped his mind.

Alex closed his eyes and opened them as they took on a dark hue, almost shrouding the brown of his irises.

"!"

However, what he saw shocked and scared him in equal measure.

The expansive veiled space lit up as he finally regained his ability to see.

The space stretched endlessly and was a boundless canvas painted with the brushstrokes of eternity.

What appeared like gas clouds swirled in a kaleidoscope of colours—violet and sapphire, amber, crimson and gold—forming a breathtaking nebulae; an indescribable wonder that shimmered like liquid fire frozen in time.

Energy storms made of a blend of many colours danced all around him, bathing him in a dense sea of mana, void energy and other kinds of energy Alex didn''t even know existed.

X-rays and gamma bursts streaked across the space like ghostly, radiant tendrils, illuminating the realm.

It was a symphony of colour and light, a space of infinite beauty and chaos.

The chaotic aspect?

Broken and debris of shattered planets, some as large stars, moons and other celestial objects floated around the infinite expanse of wonders.

Then, there were planets and floating continents that were still intact and were teaming with plant life and other numerous resources the empire would drool over were present in this very space Alex found himself.

If there was one word to describe how Alex was feeling, it would be sublime.

The overwhelming beauty and awe he felt looking around him instilled a sense of vastness, power, and otherworldliness that transcended comprehension.

''I could get used to this...''

Time continued to tick, and Alex was still lost in that condition. He didn''t know how much time had passed and, in his state, didn''t care.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, he finally felt himself approaching his first bottleneck.

''Finally....''

His absorption speed increased as the vortex spun rapidly, feeding him the energy he required.

*BOOOOM!*

Alex felt an energy explosion from within himself and if sound were to be transmitted, it would have sounded like a very loud explosion going off.

''There it is...''

Alex revealed a small smile.

He could finally sense the presence of the core after his first breakthrough.

''But who knew it would be that small...''

His power core was the size of a grain of sand, almost unnoticeable if one didn''t pay close attention, but it was there.

It revolved in his chest, circulating void energy through his system in a way mana had never done before.

He could feel the strength flowing through him had increased greatly, and at that moment, he wasn''t sure how strong he was physically.

Finally, he opened his eyes and looked around.

''Looks like I''ve covered a lot of distance, but still no signs of outer space.''

What he saw the first time he used his dark sclera was now a different environment altogether.

His floating body did not remain in the same place as it seemed to be moved around by the surrounding energy.

Nothing that was essentially matter remained in the same place for long.

Then Alex decided to check the time stamp on his suit again. He put back his helm and checked the time.

*WHAT?!!!!*
