Aventine Tidea was born with a gift. 

It was the gift of [Absolute Awareness], the ability to sense anything and everything with unimaginable detail.

However, Earth seemed to lack the power to fuel his gift. He could only activate [Absolute Awareness] for half a second and with a cooldown period of one year. Nevertheless, Aventine did not find this odd. Instead, he followed his instincts.

The [Gate].

Something he had sensed when he was a child. A one-way portal to another world.

Aventine (his blood) continued to survey the Ritual of Blasphemy while he and his companions hid in the shadows.


His red blood cells and white blood cells, given thoughts and willpower by <Mind Force>, capable of activating the nervous system through <Pure Instinct>, and synergizing with [Absolute Awareness], reacted to every wisp of information they received and sent corresponding signals through his nerves.


Unlike a supposed normal practitioner of <Pure Instinct>, whose F-Rank mastery would merely grant automatic reflexes to physical stimuli, he could use his gift to make his body react to everything it absorbed, and even keep on reacting until his mana could no longer keep up.


So much so that he had been mimicking his usual decision-making despite his main consciousness's self-destruction—though rigid, it allowed Aventine to maintain a trace of intelligence through artificial biological means.
