[ESTABLISHING THE LINK.]
Dorian sighed in relief when he heard the voice, shaking himself out of the thoughts of floating in space for the rest of his life.
'Awakening successful huh? So I am an Awakener now.' Dorian thought. 'The Link, isn't that the system Nox talked about?'
[LINK SUCCESSFUL.]
As he heard this, Dorian felt a slight buzz in the center of his chest, along with a sudden warmth. But this time, instead of burning, the warmth was comforting and as it spread from his chest to the rest of his body, he felt a strange shift happening inside of himself.
It was extremely difficult to describe with words, but he felt as if some profound change was happening to his soul, as if it gained a whole new perspective for the world around him, as if the fate of his existence has shifted.
He felt a tremendous amount of energy flowing through his body, as if a dam has opened, as if an ancient power has been unleashed. He actually felt himself getting physically stronger, enormously, inhumanly strong.
As he was reveling in his newfound strength, the voice called out again,
[EVALUATING ASPECT COMPATIBILITY.]
'Right, the unique aspect that Nox talked about' Dorian recalled, 'I hope I get something useful.'
As he waited for the voice to announce his Aspect, he realized that aside from feeling stronger, he also felt that all of his senses had also gotten sharper, as instead of seeing absolute darkness like before, he could almost see thousands of brilliant purple letters in some sort of runic language, floating in space everywhere around him. But they were too small to make out completely, they were almost invisible in the darkness surrounding him. The more he tried to focus on a letter, the more elusive it got.
But he noticed that the "voice" which he kept hearing from the "system" was not actually coming from the darkness around him, but from inside of his own head, like a thought. And much like a thought, if he focused, he could see an image, could read the words as much as hear them.
He focused on his other senses, inspecting if they have gone through a similar change as well.

[ASPECT: BLESSED OF THE STORM.]
[ASPECT RANK: SUPREME.]
[ASPECT FUSED WITH MANA CORE.]
'Aspect Rank? Even Aspects have ranks?' Dorian wondered 'Mana of the skies of the storm...the name Stormsky, so Nox was not lying. Supreme sounds strong, it has to be something good, right?'
But his thoughts were interrupted when the voice called out unexpectedly,
[MANA OF THE BLOOD OF THE NIGHT HAS BEEN DETECTED.]
[ASPECT UNLOCKED.]
[ASPECT: BORN OF THE NIGHT.]
[ASPECT RANK: SUPREME.]
[ASPECT FUSED WITH MANA CORE.]
'Blood of the night? Does that have something to do with my mother's side? Wait, am I supposed to get two aspects?'

[FUSE WITH MANA CORE?]
'The Original? And what conditions?' he asked himself, 'What is unknown supposed to mean? Does that represent something? It shouldn't be something bad, right?
Fuse with my core? Heck yes! All of the effects are great and almost all of them are passive.'
"Ye-" he began to speak but he was interrupted again when the voice called out,
