Kzel stood by the entrance of the portal with Fjora by his side. There were also projected call of Tjain Drasol and Kjor Gjebar from Fjora's gauntlet.

"DARKNESS PERVADES, YOUR EXTREME ENIGMA!" Tjen Drasol and his crew bowed then followed by Kjor Gjebar.

With that, Rjal Fjora ended the call and stared at Kzel. She unrelentingly insisted to accompany the Prince because of all the good things they would do together and his safety is the main priority of all Rzirs, but Kzel firmly stood by his decision. Although it took all his willpower to resist all the good things they would do together.

Kzel took a last glance at Fjora and waved goodbye. The Rjal only responded with a simple salute.

The portal zipped close and Kzel found himself standing at a different environment.

>>Welcome to Planet Hiris!

-Dominated by Eree. They resemble humans but have different mindsets and customs.<<

Kzel looked around for a second and found a set of armor and weapons on the ground. At that moment, he noticed that he was completely naked. He immediately donned the set of leather armor accompanied by a grey mask that only covered his lower face. There was also a black hooded coat which he hung over his shoulder. He equipped a dagger and a short sword.

>>You have received the basic equipment that is suited for your race. Please proceed to a town just south of here.<<

Kzel shrugged. Since the system is content in giving him directions, he'd happily oblige. He went down the path before him but started to wonder, 'Where the fuck is south?'

Every planet should have a different type of orbit and rotation. So, determining where the sun would rise and set to determine which is east and west might not work but it didn't stop him from trying. He planted a stick on the ground and marked its shadow. After minutes, Kzel marked where the shadow had moved as west and where the former shadow as east. Now he had a vague idea where south is. It's where the path led to.

As if in a cue, a mini world map appeared in his vision and displayed which is North, South, East and West. He was right about where south is. Planet Hiris might just be the same as Earth.

'Damn! Did you have to make me effort?' Kzel gritted his teeth and continued down the path.

The Rzir came to a stop after spotting three figure that resembled wild dogs. Since they didn't show any sign of fear after he unsheated his sword, he grabbed a stone and hurled it to the first beast. The wild dog that was hit let out a whimp and fled. Unable to coordinate a proper attack, the others soon followed.

Kzel resumed his trek but paused for a moment. He focused his senses to hearing and slightly heard the roaring of waters. There's definitely a river up ahead where he could rest and have a drink and with luck--find some food.

After a few minutes, he saw a glimpse of the river and excitedly jogged down the path only to skid to a halt. There was a woman on the bank. She seemed to have finished bathing with her wet aqua blue hair, and the lack of clothes around her body.

The woman instinctively covered her chest with an arm when she noticed him.

Kzel trembled. He cannot believe it. Although Fjora was on a different level because of evolution, the woman infront of him managed to match Fjora's hills with her huge assets. Although her body was not on the peak of evolution, she was still able to move him to the core. Such a strange feeling.

The effects this time was greater. Kzel was seeing a lot of skin and revealed body parts that shouldn't be displayed around so casually. He turned his head to the side and wiped the liquid coming out of his nose. It was an injury.

The woman stifled a mischievous smile and retracted the arm that covered her chest. Kzel took a glance but instantly looked away.

Satisfied with his reaction, the woman put on her clothes and gathered her belongings. She then proceeded to chant a spell. After a moment, she turned to Kzel and sheepishly spoke, "No man had ever seen me like that. There will be consequences. You must take responsibility."

She then disappeared from view, leaving only a gust of wind on the place where she once stood.

'Why do women act strangely act in this game?' Kzel frowned. Are they somehow attracted to him? He saw a notification and immediately opened it.

>>As a higher lifeform, you are very fascinating to minor races.

+10,000 Charms<<

Kzel's brow twitched, 'As long as this stat don't attract unwanted attentions.'

The Rzir went to the river and scooped a handful of water. He started drinking until he caught sight of movement. With his superior quickness, he grabbed two of fishes using both hands.

Kzel slowly went to the riverbank. The river was shallow but swift. At this time of the year, it was deeper because of the constant pouring of rains. There weren't many trees but logs were washed ashore. He placed the fishes on a hole he dug and started making fire. He unsheathed the dagger strapped around his waist and began removing the scales and innard
