2024-10-29 19:42:56“Hello, teacher. I am here for the yoga class!”
“Mr. Vincent, I am your instructor. From now on, please put aside two hours each day for yoga practice. Since you have never done yoga before, we will start with the basics!”
Phoebe was a 25-year-old yoga instructor. She had her long hair twisted up into a bun and she exuded an air of classic elegance. Vincent had signed up for a VIP package, which included personal yoga training sessions. He came to learn about meditation, and had never expected to meet such a beauty. Vincent had a crush on Phoebe, but he had certainly paid a high fee for it!
Vincent felt that, when he was practicing meditation, he could feel his blood circulating. On top of that, he could gradually sense every part of his body. He realized that he was able to focus and control his mind power as time passed by. Originally, he could only send his mind power toward the outside world, as he strengthened it, he was also able to conceal the power.
Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that originated in India. It involves various postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. Yoga has many benefits for the mind and body, such as improving flexibility, strength, mental health, stress relief, and reducing inflammation.
That was his reason for taking up yoga meditation, as it could help him control and sense things better. Not many people were able to grasp the essence of meditation, and it was after much research that he had found this class.
Meditation is a practice of focusing one’s attention on a single object, thought, or sensation. Meditation can help calm the mind, enhance awareness, and foster positive emotions. Meditation can be done in different ways, such as sitting, walking, chanting, or using guided audio.
Ever since he had started to meditate, Vincent became able to discern the thoughts of others when he wanted. After he released his mind power, he could still sense the brainwaves of others. This was mind reading!
Take the instructor, for example. Vincent knew that she had just broken up with her boyfriend. Although she was smiling, her mind was in turmoil and she was not concentrating.
Vincent followed Phoebe’s instructions and began to move through the postures. He felt that yoga and qigong were similar. Both were good for blood circulation and enhanced the senses of one’s body.
This was exactly what Vincent was looking for. He took up yoga, not because he wanted to improve his health, but because he was hoping to gain insights into his body through meditation.
After following Phoebe’s instructions and going through the postures, Vincent was able to sense a bit of what he was looking for. Entering meditation through postures seemed to make it easier for Vincent to observe the status of his own body. The two-hour class quickly came to the end, and Vincent noticed that it was almost night time.
“Coach, you look troubled. What is bothering you?” Vincent asked, as he stood up and relaxed his body.
Phoebe was shocked and asked, “Oh? It is so obvious? I’m so sorry!”
Vincent quickly replied, “It’s alright. But, if you are troubled, it might be better for you to go out and take a walk. If you keep it in all bottled up, it will be worse for you and won't be any good for your health!”
Phoebe smiled and said, “Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind!”
Vincent looked out of the window and saw that it was getting dark. “Is it time for you to finish work? Shall we have dinner together? I would like to treat you to a meal to show my appreciation. I will need plenty of your help in the future!”
"Is he interested in me? Although he is quite good-looking, he is not really my cup of tea. Moreover, he is too direct. And I do not want to eat unhealthy food."
As Phoebe was about to reject him, Vincent quickly asked, “Am I being too blunt? I know of a restaurant that does organic vegetarian food. The style and ambience are also quite nice. This place came to mind since you are not in a good mood. It might do you good to have a change of environment. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Phoebe became interested and said, “Alright. Why don’t you wait for me downstairs? I can leave in 20 minutes!”
Vincent nodded and said, “I will wait for you downstairs!”
The two of them had an enjoyable dinner together. As Vincent had expected, Phoebe liked the style and food of the restaurant. During their conversation, Vincent found out what interested her and made her laugh. Her unhappiness and dazedness from earlier in the day completely disappeared as she laughed.
“Let me tell you, when I was in college back then, I did something stupid exactly like that!”
“Really?”
“Really! Back then, I was with a…”
Throughout the night, Vincent was humorous, confident, and a bit artistic. He was good-looking as well. Suddenly, Phoebe felt that Vincent knew her very well. Never had she enjoyed talking to someone so much. She felt that it was even fine for her to pour her heart out to him.
When they left the restaurant, they were already very comfortable with each other. They were chatting and laughing. Vincent drove her home. As Vincent was about to leave, she suddenly turned back to ask him, “Would you like to come to my house?”
Vincent was taken aback. He was only trying to build a good relationship with her, so he had not expected things to move so quickly. He knew that Phoebe felt empty after her broken relationship and needed someone to lean on. He had come at the right time to capture her heart. Vincent did not want to miss this opportunity.
“I am actually quite curious. What kind of person is a goddess like you like in real life?”
“Oh no, I think I am having some regrets now. A woman should not let a man know her personal life!”
Phoebe lived in a relatively large place compared to the rest in her development. She had probably lived here with her boyfriend previously. Her place was classic European style, and the furniture had been carefully chosen. One could tell that was very particular about the way she lived.
What happened after that came naturally. Both of them cuddled together and rolled onto the bed. This was different from the time Ruby was drunk and Vincent had to take her home. This time around, Vincent felt very strongly toward his partner. Especially since Phoebe practiced yoga and had an athletic figure. She was like a leopardess, leaving him wanting more.
After leaving Phoebe’s place the following morning, Vincent felt that he was despicable. He had used mind reading to go after girls. It was similar to cheating in an examination. This was truly a powerful weapon!
After getting into the car, Vincent looked at the rear-view mirror and tidied his hair then saw a love bite on his neck. Phoebe was wilder in bed than she was in real life. Vincent quickly buttoned up to cover the bite mark.
At this moment, his mobile phone rang. Vincent looked at his phone and saw that it was a message from Phoebe, which read: I love being with you!
Vincent shrugged his shoulders. She was happy, he was happy. They had both gotten what they wanted.
After all, one should not make the relationship between men and women too complicated. Only youngsters would pledge their undying love for each other and be madly in love. Both of them had passed such an age! He remembered what Ruby said.
“Enjoy life when you can. If you wait until the end of your time to figure out what was missed, you wouldn’t have any opportunity to make it up to yourself!”

Thump! Thump! Vincent could hear his own heartbeat. He mentally ran through his whole body. He could feel his blood circulating, and the senses that seemed vague previously had now become clearer. Ultimately, a strange looking picture appeared in front of his eyes. There were no colors, only structures in this picture. It was like a three-dimensional model or a planar graph created using CAD. The skin, muscles, bones, arteries and internal organs were all shown in the picture, formed by multiple sub-units. Vincent could even feel the thickness of his skin, the length of his bones, and the sizes of his internal organs. However, as his mind power was not powerful enough, he was still unable to reach the cellular level. He could only vaguely sense it. Vincent could see the dark shadow in his lungs. The cancer cells, which had been separated from the healthy cells, had been increasing. Amassing, they had started to form a tumor. Cancer cells are cells that divide continually, forming
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure A Bittersweet Romance: Vincent’s Breakup with Phoebe.
Over the past two weeks, other than attending the personal yoga classes and going to Phoebe’s house, Victor had been mostly staying at home. Today, while he was out, he found something amiss. Everyone who walked past him turned around to stare at him. There were even a few times when he actually caught sight of people secretly taking photographs of him. He looks so handsome! Is he some comic character? Is he a celebrity? He is so elegant! He seems to have a mixed ethnicity. He looks so gorgeous. His eyes are so charming! Oh no! I have been lovestruck. He’s looking at me! Along the way, weird thoughts flooded Vincent’s mind continuously. When Vincent looked at himself in the mirror, he only felt that he looked good and was not really bothered. However, when others looked at him, it seemed that Vincent had undergone an astonishing change. For instance, when he went to the café for a meal, the waitress actually secretly passed him her mobile number, and many girls came up with dif
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure Change in Body and Life.
Vincent was lying on his bed, playing with his mobile phone when Ruby suddenly approached him. Staring at his face carefully, she asked, “Why did I not realize earlier that you are so handsome? You were good-looking before, but now you are stunning…” “Tell me honestly, did you have plastic surgery?” Vincent pushed away Ruby’s head which was almost touching his face. “Previously, my work environment has greatly affected my health. Now, I am recovering and I have been training every day, so that may explain it.” “It’s such an amazing transformation!” Ruby was simple-minded, so she believed what Vincent told her. However, because of Vincent’s flawless appearance, she still stayed beside him. “Hey, Vincent, I have just broken up!” “Oh!” “Should you not comfort me?” “Should I? I don’t think so!” Vincent put down his mobile phone and glanced at Ruby, feeling somewhat strange. Ever since he was able to control his mind power, he did not really read another person’s thoughts unless it
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure The Genesis of Insect Dominions: Evolution and Power in the Painting Space
Vincent entered the painting space and immediately discovered that the very first queen insect had died. It was jointly attacked by a few other queen insects that appeared later on, dragged out from its nest, and died a horrible death. It was precisely at the moment this insect queen died that the measure of the Source Form in Vincent’s brain increased. Vincent then brought his consciousness into the painting space and gradually discovered that the Source Form’s increase did not only occur when the insect queen died. In fact, every time a living thing died, the measure of the Source Form would increase subtly. He did notice that there was a great difference between an ordinary insect and an insect queen. As the changes were minimal for ordinary insects, Vincent had not noticed the difference before. It was only when the insect queen died, and the measure shot up, that this great difference caught his attention. The entire space in the painting became the playground of the insects.
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure The Crucible of Life: Echoes of Creation
Vincent felt that something was about to grow out from between his eyebrows. Finally at the end of his meditation, with sufficient mind power, the thing broke through and came into the real world. Vincent saw the external world, not with his eyes or with the introspective senses that he had been using earlier. Instead, he was actually observing the world from an entirely different angle. His mind power had broken through the limitations of his body and was influencing the real world. The real world that he saw through his mind power was made up of information formed by dots and lines. There were no colors or light, only information in the form of dots and lines. From the moment Vincent extended his mind power to explore the world, he could feel a vast amount of external information flooding into his brain. The humidity of the air, the size of the room, and the length, structure, quality, and density of his bed all continuously gushed into his brain. Suddenly, Vincent realized that
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure The Genesis of Krynnspace: Crafting Order from Chaos
Vincent hunched over his cluttered desk, the now-familiar hum of the silver hourglass thrumming beside him. Plans for the painting space sprawled across his notebook, a testament to weeks of tireless brainstorming. Vincent came up with plans for the future of the painting space based on his ideas. Since he had 1368 units of Source Form at his disposal, a number painstakingly accumulated through past experiments, Vincent yearned to craft a world more intricate than anything he'd attempted before. Vincent had decided to create a world with a bigger framework of rules, so that he would not need to keep changing and adjusting it in the future. Of course, that was merely the framework. Vincent would not be able to design a large-scale world for the time being even if he wanted to.Vincent had spent a long time thinking about it. He envisioned a robust framework, a Krynnspace world built upon multiple planes, a universe entirely separate from his own. Gone were the whimsical ideas of parall
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure The Price of Ambition: Lessons from a Lost World
As the echoes of the failed experiment faded, Vincent's lab, once a crucible of hope, lay shrouded in silence. Yet, within that stillness, the seeds of determination took root. Vincent knew that the path of a pioneer was paved with setbacks, each a stepping stone to the pinnacle of discovery. With the painting space stirring, Vincent turned his gaze to the canvas of creation that lay before him. The space, a mirror to his ambitions, rippled with the potential of the untapped. It was a realm where the laws of nature bowed to the whims of the creator. A tremor rippled across the canvas of creation before him. The painting space, a reflection of his ambitions, writhed with the raw power of the untamed. Here, the shackles of reality loosened, bending to the will of the creator. And Vincent, for a moment, was its master. He stepped through the shimmering portal, the air crackling with nascent life. As he stepped into the painting space, the air thrummed with the power of life itself. The
The Dimensional World: A Journey of Discovery and Adventure New World
Vincent looked at the space within the Scroll of Creation, his brow furrowed in surprise. He had never thought that the planes could be blown up like a balloon. Gone was the confined canvas he'd known before. Instead, a vast expanse stretched before him, a boundless plane that seemed to mimic a real world. It was so huge that Vincent could not even see the boundary of the plane. It seemed boundless; Vincent felt as though it was a real world. The implications were staggering. No longer was he limited by a tiny stage; he was now a sculptor with a celestial canvas. Vincent could feel a large amount of energy and matter welling within the plane. He could simply apply the rules and he would have been able to sculpt this world to how he wanted it to look like and create the world that he wanted. A thrill of exhilaration coursed through him. He could feel the raw energy and pulsating matter within the plane, a blank slate begging for his touch. This was the crucial step, the metam

Because of how useful the biological chambers were, Vincent returned to Earth to order more components. After four days, the materials finally arrived. He took them back to Gaia’s World and finished assembling them.Vincent’s laboratory changed significantly again. The room was now filled with standing biological chambers, various medical equipment, drawings of genetic templates, and a freezing chamber filled with many labelled genetic samples. It really looked like the kind of laboratory only an alien would have!Vincent put Sakuma’s deified body in one of the smaller biological chambers. He had forbidden the ant-people from approaching the particular biological chamber. Even though it had lost its consciousness and only the instincts of its physical body remained, it was still very dangerous.On the other hand, in another larger chamber was a more beautiful creature. It was the result of his experiments for the past few days. Inside the biolo

Final Showdown With Sakuma
Vincent arrived on the southern sea, looking for traces of Sakuma. He knew the whereabouts of the creature using the Scroll of the World, but he did not want to capture it with a dimensional door. He wanted to catch it off guard and see if he could draw it into his dream world.His boat shimmered and disappeared. He used the dimensional door to teleport himself hundreds of miles and reappeared in another area of the ocean. Vincent immediately discovered Sakuma. It was currently playing under the ocean, boiling the area of ocean hundreds of meters around himself. A layer of dead fish floated on the water, and Sakuma began feasting happily. Water vapor hung over the ocean, covering the world in a layer of mist. The water of the ocean was bubbling. Vincent approached Sakuma slowly on his boat. Sakuma did not notice anything!Vincent found that Sakuma was five to six times bigger than the last time he saw the creature. Sakuma now looked about half as tall as a full-grown p

Dream Space
“Assimilate!”“Copy the genes!”Vincent could sense that after he set up the templates in the first cell, the rest of his deified brain cells were loading the power for controlling information. As the deified cells finished loading, Vincent felt a change in his mind space. His control over his power was completely different now. His cells could now handle a large amount of information at any given time, and he could change or alter his entire mind space whenever he felt like it. At this point, it no longer felt appropriate to call the space his “mind space” anymore. This was the “dream space” he had aimed to create.Vincent stood in his dream space. This space was pitch black and directionless. There was nothing around him, not even time existed in this realm. A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately saw the space changing with the passing of the thought. He could see land starting to form under his f

As the ship drew closer, the sailor immediately saw the giant dark shadow under the water and shouted in panic, “There seems to be a rock up ahead!”The call startled everyone, and more sailors appeared on the deck, searching the open water for hidden rocks. The captain hurried to the front of the ship. “That is impossible, this is a very safe route! We have sailed this route many times! How can there be rocks all of a sudden?”Even so, they saw the dark shadow under the water slowly grow larger. A circular black area gradually appeared from under the water. Confusion filled the minds of everyone present, “What is that?”Boom! The water exploded as a large head rose up from the ocean into the sailors’ view. A huge black octopus erupted from under the ocean, its long tentacles immediately entangling the ship. The large suction cups on its tentacles were terrifying to look at it.“My God, what is that?!”

As it used its power, the water in the dungeon evaporated again and again, but fresh water kept flowing into the cell.Vincent observed Sakuma in its prison from a fist-sized small window above. It had been a while since he sent Sakuma into the water dungeon using a dimensional door. Vincent had been trying to find out the limits of Sakuma’s power. “Right now, the highest temperature Sakuma could control was 783 degrees Celsius. The lowest was negative 70 degrees Celsius.”Sakuma discovered where Vincent was and began launching its attacks toward Vincent furiously. However, Vincent was the one that gave Sakuma his power. All he needed to do was control the particles in his surrounding a

Supernatural Power
What is supernatural power?That was the question that had been bothering Vincent for a long time. To him, this kind ofcreatures shouldn’t be limited to be able to control only its own body. They should be able to interfere with the world and lives around it using mind power as well. This was what a real supernatural creature should be able to do and how mind power should really be used.This required a lot of knowledge about rules of the world. Temperature would be an example. What was temperature? General speaking, temperature was a physical quantity that expressed how warm or cold an object was. But on microscopic level,it measured how violently particles vibrated or moved. According to the kinetic theory, temperature represented the average kinetic energy of the constituent particles. Temperature was a result of the thermal motion of a large number of particles collectively.Vincent thought that a mythical creature would be able to detect t

Vincent poured a test tube of blood plasma into the slot at the top of the biological chamber. He pressed a button and the blood was injected into the seahorse. A day later, the seahorse’s consciousness and memories were wiped completely. Then, Vincent tried to place the soul of the Tree of Life into the seahorse. However, the soul was met with strong resistance, and the seahorse died almost immediately!As he extracted the soul of the Tree of Life, Vincent found that the soul had been weakened as well. The soul, which had been pure and without any form of consciousness before, had become tainted by the seahorse’s mind. As Vincent observed it, he sensed some very chaotic and confusing waves of consciousness being emitted.Vincent tried the same thing with several different kinds of sea creatures and failed every time. The contamination of the once-pure soul was becoming increasingly severe. Vincent knew that if he kept failing, the soul would fall apart.

The Port of London was located along the banks of the River Thames to the southeast of London. Vincent drove to the port in a brand-new Range Rover Evoque, and he could see the London Bridge and the beautiful night scenery in the distance. This was an important arterial road of London. Ships were coming and going very frequently, and it was still very busy here despite the falling darkness.From faraway, Vincent could already see the liveliness of the port. There were still many ships out on the sea. In addition, there were also many ships docking, loading or unloading their cargos. Ships of various sizes packed the dock, creating a busy scene.Vincent walked around until he found where the medium-sized and small-sized ships were docked. The port was twisting and turning. Vincent walked down a straight path and saw dozens of ships docked around. Among them, there were quite a few yachts!This one look good!In the distance, Vincent saw a yacht with three

Settling Down
“What do you think of this one?” a man in suit asked. He was standing beside Vincent and his face was filled with a bright smile.Vincent inspected the villa before him carefully and walked around its huge yard. It was a townhouse in Kensington, London, and it was over three hundred square meters in size. The villa had six floors including the basement and was very secure because Kensington was filled with many rich people. The public transport around the house was also very convenient. In addition, there were plenty of facilities around the house.After inspecting, Vincent found out that most parts of the house were painted white with great attention to details. It had the elegance of European designs, and the furnishings inside were also very modernized. Moreover, the yard was huge and one could sunbathe or play in it to relax.“I’ll take it,” he said with a nod. “How much?”The man’s smile immediately became more friendly. “The house originally costs nine million and three hundred
