The Reluctant Hero: Summoned Again and Again

I decided to experiment with telekinesis. Naturally, I started with the basics: focusing intensely on a silver stone that had fallen from a giant statue.

"I focused on the stone, willing it to rise. Nothing happened."

"Maybe I'm just not attuned to this power yet," I thought.

I gave it another go, channeling all my mental energy into lifting the stone. 

 "Hours passed with no result. 'Do I even have powers?'"

"Does it have a special condition to move the matter?"

"Or is there a problem with this stone?"

After all, the only thing present in this void is this Pantheon, and inside it, this giant stone statue.

"Who knows what origin this place has and how it came to be here, in the void where there is nothing?"

It's not the first time I've thought of such questions, but since I knew I wouldn't get any answers, I ignored them.

There were several such questions roaming in my mind, without any answers. Among them, the topmost question was:

"Just, what is this place?"

"Sigh, don't think of unnecessary things. Focus on the task at hand."

I once again focused my entire attention on the stone, trying to find any way to utilize my power. I imagined several scenarios:

The stone moving from my mental power,

The stone becoming light and floating in the air,

Or some connection forming between me and the stone, allowing me to move it.

But none of these methods worked.

It was as if the stone was a work of art, refusing to move at all.

"Just what the heck is this 'telekinesis' power?"

"As soon as I uttered 'telekinesis,' the stone lifted smoothly into the air, exactly as I had imagined."

 to move the object all you have to say is telekinesis and think of the target

and the thought object will move

"Fuch this shit"

"Does this place want to annoy me to death"

and, for several hours like an absolute idiot, I was trying to move the stone with the help of my mental power

"Fuch this place, I don't want to play this one-sided game anymore"

after, cursing for who knows how long

I finally settled my thought

but, I was still annoyed by this place

I just added another wish in my wish list 

"If I ever escape this place, I'm never coming back."

this place is the most annoying thing in existence

After, discovering, how to use the power 'of telekinesis', now it was time to move on next phase

Having figured out the basics of telekinesis, it was time to test its limits

---

To test the limit of telekinesis power, I devised a plan

after, staying in this place for so long and experimenting I came to this conclusion

I realized that in my soul form (ghostly form) I couldn't physically grasp objects, even though I could touch and feel them.

like, I could walk on the Pantheon's stairs and touch them, but I couldn't hold anything solid like a stone or a door.

---

Now, with telekinesis, I could finally move objects in my soul form. To test its limits, I decided to gather all the silver stones that had fallen from the statue in the middle of the Pantheon.

I wanted to see how long I could use my power before my soul gave out or I felt exhausted.

I started with the small stones weighing around 6.5 kg scattered around the Pantheon. Time flew by as I collected over a thousand stones.

"It seems there's no limit to how many times I can use telekinesis. This could be a powerful card in future trials."

Next, I wanted to see how many stones I could control at once. I approached the pile of stones I had collected.

"Telekinesis," I commanded, and a single stone floated easily. While controlling the first stone, I attempted to move a second one.

"Telekinesis." The second stone moved at my command. While controlling the first and second stones, I tried to move a third stone.

"Telekinesis."

Soon, I was controlling 10 stones, but some pressure started to build on my soul. Without giving up,

"I pushed on, feeling the strain on my soul intensify with each additional stone, but I was determined to find my limit."

11, 12, 13, 14... 20, and finally 21. 21 was the last stone I could handle.

"It seems my current limit is 21 stones if each weighs around 6.5 kg," I concluded.

This meant I could move 136 kg with telekinesis, almost as much as a baby elephant.

I was truly happy with this discovery.

It hadn't been long since I gained this power, and I could already control and move something as massive as a baby elephant, a whopping 136 kg.

But now came another part. I had discovered how to use my telekinesis and its limit, but what was this soul energy?

From the name, it had something to do with the soul. But ever since I came to this blank space, I felt no energy in my soul or surroundings.

I started to focus on my soul, and suddenly an idea struck me. Previously, when my soul was still pure white before the trial, it continually radiated pure white light.

I thought it was the nature of the soul to radiate light, but when my soul became black after the first trial, it still radiated black light. Maybe this light was soul energy.

How could affecting soul energy help me? I decided to try it out directly.

The second part of my planning started. First, I tried to manipulate the intensity of light in my soul to see how it affected me.

"Telekinesis," I commanded, thinking about decreasing the intensity of light radiating in my soul. But just like my previous attempt, the experiment failed.

This time, I was not disappointed because I heard a voice.

["You can't manipulate energy inside the blank space."]

I knew asking for a reason from the voice was a waste of time, so I focused on what it said.

"It seems I have to wait until I get out of this place to see how to manipulate soul energy."
