I stood by the small window of the cabin, looking out at the stars. Vaythos was far behind us now, a tiny dot in the distance. Space stretched endlessly, quiet and calm, and I just watched it for a while.
The hum of the ship was steady, almost soothing. I took a deep breath and rubbed my face, thinking about what I needed to do next. After a few moments, I turned, walked to one of the beds, and sat down. It was time to focus.
My mind was filled with thoughts of what I needed to do before pushing myself to Transcendent rank.
The benefits for someone like me would be enormous. An increase in life expectancy, that alone was no small thing.
Then came the ability to modify my own domain, to reshape the very fabric of the field that answered to my will.
On top of that, I'd gain the capacity to create law constructs, manifestations of pure order and command.
And of course, the surge in physical power that came with every rank up.
