New abilities

Stewart started hearing rumbling and creaking as if they were right next to my eardrums. (It's... Deafening... I... Can't Think...) The sounds slowly quieted. Stewart noticed that he could sense everything around himself in a 10 meter radius even with his eyes closed. He also found that the complicated ancient languages that the original owner learned but scarcely understood became completely integrated into his knowledge. Lastly Stewart felt a lot of knowledge which he thought was unrelated link together and formed full thought chains.)

(I can sense 10 meters around myself if I close my eyes, My ability to understand languages have also increased, I also got some kind of ability that uses logic to connect connect all my knowledge.) Stewart thought feeling his new abilities. (Why didn't I hear any ravings like Klein did? Is it because the Paragon pathway has a god but the Fool pathway doesn't?) Then Stewart thought of something and looked at Xio. "Did I show any signs of physical mutations while advancing? Also how long did it take?" Xio answered instantly saying. "You didn't show signs of mutation only signs that you were in pain, as for the second question it only took you about three minutes to advance." Stewart thought for a second about the information Xio just gave him and asked. "Did you learn anything that might help you when advance?" Xio just shook her head. "I see... sorry."

"It's fine, at least it allowed us to build some trust. Because I could have interrupted your advancement at any time and most likely make you lose control." Xio said. "I know a lot about you, I may even know more about you then yourself. So I trust your character." Stewart answered. "You know your really creepy when you say it like that right?" Xio asked a little creeped out. Stewart just smiled and shrugged. "Well once again nice doing business with you. I will arrive at your apartment in east borough when I want you to hold up your end of the deal." Stewart said with a bow. After Xio left Stewart slumped into his armchair. (I should have unlocked a few more abilities in the garden of glass as well. Wonder what I got.) Stewart felt exhausted from and dizzy because his spirituality was slightly out of control, so he fell asleep.

Stewart woke on the armchair and an empty stomach. So he had some food and entered the garden of glass. Stewart was ready to be forcefully bombarded by knowledge but... nothing. ( Huh?) Was all Stewart could think about. ( I only got the exact way to use some of my abilities after I used them for the first time on accident.) Just as Stewart let his guard done while thinking knowledge flooded into his brain once more. The only thing he had a chance to think before the headache set in was. (Is this thing sentient?)

[Glass manipulation: Allows you to manipulate glass freely in the garden of glass and in a one meter radius around the gate of glasses current location.]

[Set point cap increases from 3 ->6]

(Seriously? That's it? Well now that I think about it if I got more over powered abilities my golden finger would be even more powerful then Klein's golden finger. The garden of glass may have weaker purification and anti-divination since it is still technically a part of the spirit world.) Stewart thought after receiving information about his new abilities. (Also I didn't Jinx myself when I said that the garden of glass might have a negative effect.)

Stewart exited the garden of glass and left the house. (It's noon already so I can't go look for Xio today so I'll do it tomorrow. What should I do for the rest of today though. I know I'll go look for Kaspars to finally take my first step in meeting Sharron and Maric.) Stewart got on a carriage and went to the brave hearts bar. After arriving he went straight to the front counter of the bar and said. "One cup of southville beer please." As he pushed 6 pence's toward the bartender and whispered. "Kaspars." The bartender looked up at Stewart and simply said. "Billiard room 3"

Stewart left the beer on the counter and went straight toward billiard room 3. After opening the door he saw Kaspars. (The book did not describe how he looks very well... No it's not the authors fault words can not describe how... Unique looking he is.) Stewart may have stared for a bit to long because Kaspars asked first in a gruff voice. "What do you want?" Stewart snapped back and said. "I just want some gunpowder. Kaspars looked at Stewart in suspicion and said. "No one comes to me just to buy gunpowder tell me what you really want. Stewart paused a bit awkward. (I did not plan for this...) Stewart quickly returned to normal and said with a smile. "As expected from someone in this business who had survived up till now." Hearing this Kaspars furrowed as Stewart continued. "Then I'll be straight with you. I'm here to warn the temperance faction of an impending attack from the desire faction as a sign of goodwill." Kaspars still looked at Stewart in confusion. "Alright I'll put it even more simply. I want to speak to Miss Sharron and Mr. Maric"

"I don't know who this Sharron lady is but there is a guy named Maric who's always playing cards. Look I don't want to get in some gang war if you are looking for him he's in a room behind the kitchen bar." Kaspars words confused Stewart. (Does he not know Sharron and Maric are beyonders? And even if he doesn't He should still have heard of the temperance and Desire factions from other beyonders he knew. This is weird.) Stewart felt it was weird but didn't think much of it and walked toward the kitchen bar and found the room Kaspars told him about. (This should be it he thought as he closed his eyes. (Huh?) Stewart sensed Two living people in the room one sitting at the table to over behind the door both on guard and ready to attack. This startled Stewart. (So Kaspars does them and even warned them about my arrival. But a sequence 5 and a sequence 6 ambushing a sequence 8 is just a tiny bit overkill.)
