The second chance of the uncrowned king - (Isekai)

Chap 122: Celestial Domain.


"What time is it?" Sleep vanished from me in an instant after a nightmare. I looked through the window and everything was still dark, the clock marked an hour before my usual waking time.

Yesterday, I stayed up late talking with my family, I should still be asleep. That damned nightmare stole my rest. I sat on the bed, thinking about that strange dream. Was I a few years older? The three girls looked slightly more mature, we were fighting against someone ridiculously strong, and they were dying one by one, and I couldn't save them…

I headed to the shower to wash off the sweat caused by the nightmare. "I'll go to the training room to release some stress." I'll take the opportunity to train a bit before meeting the heralds; I don't know what they want with me, but I imagine it must be something good.

Sitting in the middle of my training room, eating a sandwich, I thought about the sensation from yesterday. Ho had used an ability with the space affinity on me. The sensation hadn't completely gone away—it felt vague and distant, yet at the same time as if I could touch it.

What is space? It is the place where we exist. It is the distance between objects and people. It is the point where I stand and, at the same time, it is everything that surrounds me. Space is both a prison and freedom: it keeps us confined to a location, and at the same time allows us to move freely within it.

It has no beginning or end—it is simply an infinite existence where everything is placed. It includes not only the visible but also the invisible, like different worlds and different planes. Dungeons, for example, belong to a different space and yet are contained within a larger one.

It is the extension that holds everything, from the matter we can touch to what is invisible to our eyes. It is the place where we are and where we are not. It is occupied by every living being as well as by inanimate matter.

Recalling that sensation from yesterday, with the knowledge I've been gathering little by little, it began to take form in my mind—not just a vague idea anymore, but something clearer. I don't know how long I spent drifting in thought, but at some point I had stood up and focused my domain to feel everything around me.

All of this is space—it is my space. I can know who or what enters and leaves; this is my personal domain. The "vision" in my domain felt different; I began to sense everything with a clarity I had never felt before, though at the same time, nothing had really changed.

What does space mean to me? It is all of this—everything that surrounds me and lies within my reach. It is the place controlled by my body and mind, where my Imra and mana can reach to alter its form. Everything inside my domain is a part of me, without belonging to me.

My mind shifted to something deeper, something more meaningful, where I was the center and everything revolved around my will.

"Space… when I close my eyes and extend my domain, I feel it." It is not simply the void between two points, not just distance. To me, space is an invisible ocean that surrounds everything that exists, a fabric that responds when I touch it with my will.

Within my domain, space becomes tangible, almost alive. I can perceive its folds, its vibrations, its silent movements. It is like an infinite field that connects me with everything around me, where every ripple and every fluctuation carries meaning.

Space is freedom, because it allows me to move and expand beyond my limits. But it is also control, because within it I can enclose, mold, or trap. Space is not neutral—it is strength and structure, it is the stage and at the same time the chains that hold existence together.

For me, space means infinite possibilities: the power to cross barriers, to defy distances, to open paths where once there were only walls. In my domain, I understand that space is not a dead void, but the very foundation upon which all laws are built. Space is my battlefield, my refuge, and perhaps, the path toward my true Law.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

What's that? A strange sensation ran through my body, that same feeling I had experienced a few times before. A few seconds later, a notification appeared.

"You have learned the Celestial Domain Law: Space."

The world changed. My domain felt more "alive"; I became more sensitive to everything within this sphere. The flow of mana felt smoother, without restrictions—it was different, yet at the same time nothing had changed much. It was a sensation I could barely explain myself.

I jumped so high, thanks to the mana infused in my legs, that I hit my head against the ceiling. "Shit, that hurts. Damn enchantments." I fell to the floor, rolling from the pain; the walls and ceilings were far too sturdy thanks to the enchantments.

"Finally… finally I've achieved it after so long." This was my second Law, both connected to supreme affinities. Now I just needed to apply it to the necessary abilities.

When I applied the Law to my domain, I heard another notification. The ability that had been restrained somehow had finally leveled up.

Just like I did yesterday, I accepted the level-up of my Domain (III) ability.

"Calculating conditions…" "Mana quantity and control: Approved." "Imra quantity and control: Approved." "Compatible Pseudo Law or Law: Approved." "Rank-up approved. Do you want to ascend?"

"Domain (III) has evolved into Personal World (IV)."

At that moment, my domain expanded; I could feel it nearly double in diameter—now almost 250 meters across. The dome was enormous. A sudden headache struck me without warning. I activated Frozen Core to keep my concentration and suppress the migraine.

This time, I did notice the differences. It hadn't just grown in size but also in clarity. I could feel mana currents when I focused completely on sensing them, and controlling them became easier. I built a Joyeuse faster than ever, thanks to the power of those mana currents.

But the moment I lost focus in my happiness, the currents slipped away. "I need more practice…" It would take me a long time to maintain awareness of those currents while constructing mana weapons. I didn't even want to imagine the time and training required to sustain that sensation during combat, while doing dozens of things at once.

"What a fruitful morning." Lying on the warm floor, I thought about how long it had been since I'd had such an enjoyable morning training session. Not only had I obtained a new Law thanks to Ho's help, but my most powerful ability—at least from my perspective—had also ranked up.

"Now half of my abilities are at Rank IV, and two of my Rank III skills are close to advancing…" Looking at my status made me grin like an idiot. I hadn't expected so many blessings in these days; that dungeon had given me all of these opportunities.

It was time to organize my priorities: I have one empty skill slot. I'll probably choose the electrical affinity skill I had set aside before—it will be very useful for fighting large numbers of monsters. I must train to change the affinity of my movement ability. Electricity has been incredibly useful from the start, but it pales in comparison to spatial affinity. I don't know how long it will take me. I need to acquire the pseudo Law of Electricity to improve my mental ability. The results will be fascinating—boosting the speed of my mind will allow me to react and move faster than ever.

The feeling of the pseudo Law of Electricity is close. If it weren't for Arisa's upcoming party, I would spend the entire day training here until I grasped it.

I searched my cube to fulfill the first step of my priorities before heading to school. I found the skill I had left on hold due to lack of slots.

"Do you want to learn the skill: Raging Electrifying River (III)?" I accepted without hesitation, and the knowledge poured into my brain, cube, and body. I checked my status to see all my slots filled and was astonished at how strong I had become before even reaching adulthood.

"I'm going to give them a huge surprise." My parents and grandmother won't believe it when I tell them how I acquired my new Law. I can't wait to see them soon at breakfast. With new energy, I began my exercise circuit to start the day.
