The Eternal Family

Chapter 15: Enlightenment

After experimenting with his newfound powers and accidentally causing damage, Harry realized that he had a major issue to tackle;

He simply had no control over his Abruptly enhanced strength!

If he didn't handle it properly, he could end up paying an extremely high price for his mistake!!!

He felt that if he hugged a girl now, she might just end up with some broken bones. And that, only if she was lucky enough and properly fit,

With at least 1 point of Defense...Otherwise, she might just Die.

Thinking of different methods to cope with this problem, he found some and decided to try those until the time for his breakfast,

he had 30 minutes till his normal wake-up time, and another 30 to get ready,

Normally, he wakes up at 9:00 Am, gets fresh by 9:30, and has breakfast by nearly 10 along with his lovely sister and beautiful mother.

now that he woke up early today, at 7 am, and had some morning-wood time with his sister,

it was already 8:36 by now,

But he still had more than half an hour before Anna came in to wake him up, so he started one of the simplest ways to learn to control your strength; Moving a thread through a needle hole.

Yet, after some failed attempts and an aching and frustrated head, he put it away, he wasn't supposed to have this needle here, but he knew where Anna kept her 'quick tools' hidden, so it was handy and easily found.

Thinking and wondering, going full-blown science, Harry's mind pondered on the best and most efficient ways to control his strength

He had many plans with his abilities, but this limitation could cripple his fast growth,

and of course, he didn't want that.

So as he pondered, he came up with multiple sound plans,

Like getting an ability related to controlling your strength.

But that depended on a lot of coincidences, the only ability that he could think of among every one of his Royal Family people that came close to what he wanted was one of the three great abilities, the ability in the queen's hand, an enviable ability by all and everyone.

Yet, getting to fuck her was almost impossible for the current him due to multiple reasons.

Or using more time with intense training, but that required too much time...But then, he suddenly had a thought, a thought that could be borderline called Enlightenment,

In his moment of pondering, He asked himself, "What controls the body?" The answer was clear, "My mind controls it."

Then why can't his mind control his current power as effectively as it used to?

Of course, because it was unfamiliar and unused to this level of strength his subconscious mind hadn't even registered his new strength into it yet.

Ace's Dark eyes shined in wonder and glee as he turned to look at a mirror nearby, and as he looked, his pupils turned into an ethereal dreamy pinkish blue, his ability was moving into his own mind's subconscious space of thought,

he focused on hypnotizing himself into his subconscious mind through the power of DreamWalker, he knew that it was an impossible feat against others since he was still at stage 0. However, he knew that it was still possible to do so against himself.

Since he could naturally remove his own mind's barriers,

Just like how he brought Lilly into her dream, it was because she too possessed the DreamWalker ability and had agreed to be carried into her dream.

But when it came to hypnotizing other humans, even babies, it would be nearly impossible to succeed even with proper preparations, their natural mental barriers will be enough to stop the stage 0 ability,

Stage 0 was a highly restrictive stage for all abilities, unlike stage 1 where the possibilities were almost limitless.

As he delved into his subconscious mind, he could read his own thoughts like an open book. What he was thinking was as clear as the difference between black and white. But it was his mind, of course, he could read it, it had no barrier against himself and that's the only reason why he could use such high-level abilities like Mind reading even as a newbie.

Instead of dwelling on this, he forcefully added another thought into his subconscious, "I have been as strong as I am today for the past two years." Despite his subconscious mind's natural barriers trying to reject the thought, he pushed through and eventually burned it into his very soul.

If he weren't the owner of the DreamWalker ability, he would have believed that he had been as strong as he was today for the past two years.

Shaking his head, he woke up and retrieved the needle he had put away earlier.

He took a black thread,

Split it,

And passed it through the tiny hole in the needle with ease, just as he had done days ago.

His control over his body was simply,

and in one word, Phenomenal.

...

Feeling a sense of empowerment and satisfaction, knowing that he had overcome the challenge of controlling his strength.

he looked up at the clock and realized that he still had some time before breakfast. He decided to use this time to continue practicing and sharpening his abilities.

He focused on his breathing and started to do some basic exercises to test his control. He tried lifting weights and doing push-ups, and to his surprise, he was able to do them effortlessly without causing any damage.

He felt like a new man, and he knew that his newfound control over his body would serve him generously in the future. He was excited, no, beyond excited to see what else he could accomplish with his enhanced abilities.

As he finished up his workout, he heard a knock on the door. It was Anna, coming to wake him up for breakfast. He smiled to himself, knowing that he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead...
