Future Vision is an Innate Ability of Unknown grade that is granted by the Seven Gods as a result of an Earthling desiring to be sent back to the past. However, due to the repercussions of interfering with causality, it requires an enormous amount of contribution points, offerings or such in order to achieve and is often only adequate enough to send back a portion of one's emotions, granted in the form of a fleeting dream.
Seol Jihu is the first known possessor of this Innate Ability, as a result his of former self Black Seol Jihu asking of Goddess Gula of the Seven Sins, and only barely managed to do so after the Haramark Princess Teresa Hussey offered up her family's Royal Oath for the sake of his wish.
In Chapter 434, it was revealed that Seo Yuhui also possessed this Innate Ability, having similarly wished to Gula like Black Seol Jihu to send her back to the past.
In Chapter 194, Seol Jihu's Future Vision ability was fused together with his Nine Eyes ability, evolving it into Future-Gauging Nine Eyes.
Description[]
Future Vision is an Innate Ability that allows the user to recall the emotions of their self from the past future lifetime, from within their dream, and is capable of strongly influencing the present user's thoughts and actions.
For Seol Jihu, presumably due to Nine Eyes, Future Vision furthermore allows him to tap into the experiences of Black Seol Jihu and borrow the abilities, techniques and even personality they had cultivated to supplement the development of his own, if not to the point of the latter being able to completely take control of Seol Jihu's body. As a result, this allows Seol Jihu in certain moments, to drastically elevate the limits of his power. However as the ability does not affect the physical stats directly, what power Seol Jihu's Future Vision is able to manifest is strictly based on Seol’s own current cultivation of strength.
History[]
Seol Jihu first discovered his ability's existence during the unveiling of the Status Window in the Tutorial and allowed him to remember alternative pathways in his Magic Circuits to allow him to once again use his inborn Innate Ability, the Nine Eyes. It also responded to the "awakening" of his Nine Eyes ability and then allowed him to scare off the Gaekgwi monster with nothing but his gaze alone.
Its first formal activation however, occured during the latter half of the first mission, pushing him to make Kang Seok open the spike barrier.
During the second mission of the Tutorial,
Future Vision would allow Seol to complete the 'Breaking Through Traps' mission in breakneck speed, cutting the time of the previous record holder, Sung Shihyun, by almost over half.
After he learnt the Class Ability, Mana Application, Future Vision immediately responded, elevating it from the [Lowest] grade to [Intermediate]. This was the same for the Basic Spear Technique, 'Thrust', advancing it from the [Lowest] grade to [High-Intermediate] as well as 'Strike' and 'Cut' to [Intermediate].
Its next active occurance will only occur in Chapter 62, prompting him to help seek a solution for Teresa Hussey to save the Arden Fortress from total collapse.
In Chapter 75, Chung Chohong's near death stimulated Seol to activate Future Vision, allowing him to rouse his mana beyond his limits and utilize an ability far above his current level—the Level 7 Highlander’s Secret Art, the Sword Qi Wave—while he was still only Level 2, and completely annihilate the artificial Nest hidden in the Ramman Village to mere meat paste.
Similar case in the Arden Fortress War Arc
Trivia[]
- When Future Vision activates, Seol's eyes are frequently described as turning an aggressive red hue.
