Ashok's mind churned with possibilities, his thoughts racing as he sifted through every strategy from the game, seeking anything that could help him feel the mana inside him—just a fragment, just a hint.
He wasn't looking for control—not yet.
What he needed was a starting point, a foothold from which he could pave his way forward.
But without even sensing mana, he was completely lost, stranded in the depths of uncertainty.
His first thought drifted to mana sensitivity accessories, artifacts designed to amplify one's ability to perceive mana.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
An accessory could only enhance existing sensitivity—and if he had none to begin with, then what was there to amplify?
After an hour of meditation yielding absolutely nothing, there was no guarantee that even an external tool would work on this body.
If he invested in that path and failed, it would mean more wasted time, more wasted effort.
Not an option.
