New Blessing start with Basic rank!

A faint hum echoed in Renji's ears as he stepped out into the dimly lit streets. The night air carried an odd charge, making the hairs on his arms stand on end. Something was different.

[System Update: New Energy Pathways Detected][Synchronizing…]

A dull ache pulsed through his body, like unseen threads weaving through his muscles and bones.

His system interface flickered with two new notifications.

[New Skill Acquired: Body Strengthening (Mana)]

Allows controlled reinforcement of muscles, bones, and reflexes using mana.

Enhances physical durability and speed.

[New Skill Acquired: Telekinesis (Psychic)]

Grants the ability to move objects using mental force.Control depends on focus, mental strength, and experience.

Renji exhaled sharply. Mana? Psychic abilities? He flexed his fingers, feeling a strange warmth spreading beneath his skin—an unfamiliar power surging through his veins.

[New Meters Unlocked]

Mana Meter: Level 1 (untrained)—represents raw magical energy capacity.

Psy-Meter: Level 1 (Unstable) – Measures psychic energy reserves.

"Two different energy types, huh?" Renji muttered, stretching out his arm.

Instinctively, he focused on his body. A slight pressure built in his core, flowing outward in controlled waves. His muscles tensed, strength surging into his limbs like coiled steel.

Body strengthening... activated.

With a sudden burst of speed, he lunged forward, nearly stumbling as his legs carried him faster than expected. The world blurred for an instant before he skidded to a halt.

"Damn…" His breath came out ragged. "That's… actually insane."

Curious, he turned his attention to the other skill. Telekinesis.

A nearby crushed soda can sat on the ground. Focusing, he imagined an invisible hand gripping it.

A flicker of resistance.

Then the can shuddered. It trembled slightly before jerking an inch off the ground, floating unsteadily in midair.

[Psy-Meter Decreased: 10% → 9%]

The moment Renji lost focus, the can clattered back to the pavement.

A dull headache throbbed at his temples.

"So, this drains my psychic energy..."

He clenched his fists, a small grin tugging at his lips. This was just the start.

Renji rubbed his temples, still adjusting to the strange, dual-energy flow coursing through him. But just as he started regaining his composure, his system interface flashed once more.

[System Update: Player Mode Activated]

[New Passive Skill Acquired: Second Life]

Upon death, the user will revive at a designated point.

A cooldown period applies after each revival.

Severe penalties may occur depending on the manner of death.

His breath hitched. Revival?

A mix of excitement and unease churned in his gut. This wasn't normal.

A respawn system meant he could come back after death—but what were the penalties? He tapped on the description, revealing more details.

[Revival Conditions:]

First Death: No penalty.

Subsequent Deaths: Risk of stat reduction, lost memories, or other unknown consequences.

Respawn Location: Random safe zone or manually set point.

Renji's hands clenched. So it wasn't an infinite safety net. If he died recklessly, he could lose strength, knowledge, or worse.

Just thinking about the implications sent a chill down his spine.

"Good to know... but let's not test it anytime soon."

A deep breath later, he pulled himself together.

His Mana Meter and Psy-Meter were still at Level 1, meaning he was at the bottom of the food chain. He needed to train, grow stronger, and figure out how to control these abilities.

A single thought burned in his mind:

If I can't even handle this power properly, I won't survive long enough to need a second life.

"Now this is interesting..."

Having a completely new outlook due to his newly awakened psychic power and mana-based ability, Renji didn't feel any lethargy. On the contrary, he was thrilled.

His mind buzzed with possibilities—telekinesis and body strengthening, two distinct forces, both unfamiliar in their own way.

His body no longer felt heavy, his breathing was more controlled, and his muscles were brimming with a new kind of vitality. However, what caught his curiosity the most was Mana—was it the same kind he had read about in isekai stories, or something else entirely?

Renji sat cross-legged in his room, closing his eyes to focus.

[System Notification]

Mana Lv. 1 Detected—Passive Flow Activated

Psy-Meter Lv. 1 Detected—Mental Processing Enhanced

The moment he concentrated, a strange energy field swirled around his body—one felt warm and raw, while the other felt cold yet controlled.

"Mana and psychic power... they feel like two opposite forces," he muttered.

Mana was like a flame, wild and untamed. It surged in his body, reinforcing his physical structure, making his heartbeat stronger and his muscles denser. The psychic energy, on the other hand, was like a calm current of water. It wasn't inside his body, but around it—something more external, a force he could grasp with his mind rather than his hands.

Renji stretched out his fingers and decided to test telekinesis first.

His eyes locked onto a pen on his desk.

"Move."

At first, nothing happened.

Then, something clicked in his mind. It wasn't about 'telling' the pen to move—it was about pushing it with intent.

The pen shuddered, then wobbled before levitating slightly above the surface.

Renji's eyes widened. "I did it...!"

The moment his excitement spiked, the pen dropped. His control wavered.

"Hah... so it's not just about energy, but concentration too," he muttered, taking a deep breath.

Testing it again, he focused on the pen, this time with controlled intent rather than excitement. Slowly, it rose again.

"Alright... now let's push it further."

This time, he imagined moving it forward—and sure enough, the pen glided an inch ahead.

He grinned. He was starting to get the hang of it.

Next, he clenched his fists and activated Body Strengthening.

A faint golden glow covered his skin. His body felt lighter yet denser, like he had become a steel spring ready to explode with power.

To test it, Renji walked to the wall, drew his arm back, and threw a punch—

BANG!

A sharp crack rang through the room as a visible dent appeared on the wooden panel.

His eyes widened.

"Shit... that was just a light punch?"

His heart pounded—not from exhaustion but from exhilaration.

Telekinesis and body strengthening—two different forces, two different approaches.

One required control and precision.The other required raw power and channeling energy properly.

But both... were just the beginning.

[System Update]- Telekinesis Proficiency: 2%- Body Strengthening Proficiency: 4%

Looking at the system notifications, Renji smirked.
