A tingle spread across the surface of Raze's skin. Deep within his center, his dantian underwent a transformation. The core sitting by his stomach no longer felt broken. It evolved. Energy stopped restricting itself to his center. It flowed outward, charting paths through his limbs and organs. It formed a network, knitting itself to his muscles and bones. The Qi of Pagna vanished, replaced by a substance carrying greater weight and density. His vision blacked out. Sensation fled his fingertips and toes. He floated in nothingness, disconnected from his physical form as the universe reconstructed his existence.
Seconds ticked by in the void. Sensation returned to his limbs. Vision restored itself to his eyes.
